Toyota Camry configurations. Technical characteristics of Toyota Camry (XV40) Salon and interior equipment

The legendary car of Japanese manufacturers, Toyota Camry 40, is considered among Russian car enthusiasts to be the most reliable and sought-after car. Even with high mileage, the car does not require any special expenses and can be easily repaired; it pleases its owners with excellent suspension and durability of the power unit.

Vehicle configuration

It is a mistake to consider the Toyota Camry B40 a business-class car; rather, it belongs to large family sedans. The roads of our country are plied by such cars with 2.4-liter engines or 3.5-liter V6 engines. Manufacturers presented five trim levels for Russian motorists:

1. comfort - the most budget version, 2.4 liter engine with five-speed manual, there is a climate control system and heated two front seats, a car radio and halogen headlights;
2. comfort Plus - automatic transmission with 5 ranges and headlight washing system;
3. elegance - this version with a leather interior, equipped with parking devices and electrically adjustable seats in the front, looks quite decent;
4. prestige - a version that includes a 167-horsepower 2.4-liter engine, maximum power, complemented by a stability control system, cruise control and xenon headlights. Safely combines relatively small road tax and a luxurious comfortable interior;
5. luxury - a configuration option equipped with a powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The interior trim is complemented by some details that give it gloss and presentability - wood-effect trim on the steering wheel and selector automatic transmission, a curtain on the rear window that protects from sunlight and an adjustable tilt of parts of the rear passenger seat.

Features of the car in the 40th body

Restyling Toyota Camry SV40 took place in mid-2009, then the shape of the front bumper changed and the radiator trim was slightly narrowed. The appearance was decorated with turn signal indicators built into the back of the side-view mirrors. Camry V40, the photo of which is located below, is a pre-restyling model.

The interior of the cabin has become somewhat different due to the color of the center console; the bluish plastic on it was changed to silver. The monochrome screen of the car radio head unit was replaced with a color display. The post-restyling car, together with the new body brand, received the designation Toyota Camry ACV40. This is a photo of the car after restyling.

We must pay tribute Japanese manufacturers, weak points There are practically no Toyota Camrys in the 40th body. Of course, the thin paintwork of the body loses its shine due to frequent washing, but rust does not break through anywhere, even in places of chips and minor damage. After two years of operation in Russia, the chrome parts will begin to bloom with rust, but only because of our public utilities, which generously water the roads with caustic chemicals. The activity of utility workers is manifested in the swelling of the coating on the windshield wipers and the appearance of cracks in the decorative trim near the trunk lid.

Even on the pre-restyling SV40, the weakest link was considered to be the lower part of the bumper, which cracked at the slightest contact with the road surface, and the owner had to solve this problem himself.

On the Camry SV40, the headlight washer nozzles often failed for a simple reason: they became clogged with dirt and the fluid did not flow through; in this case, thorough cleaning and blowing of the nozzles helped.

Troubles awaiting you in the salon

In the interior of the CB40, the fabric upholstery after 20 thousand mileage became thinner and began to shine, and by that time the leather covering was covered with small cracks. Over the course of about two years, the covering of the buttons peeled off and the steering wheel and gear selector began to become very shiny. After restyling the Toyota Camry ACV40, the quality of the coating has improved and it lasts longer.

After a relatively short time, creaks are heard inside the cabin and “crickets” appear - they populate the front panel, center console, hatch mechanism and armrest of far from old cars and it is useless to fight them. Try to clean the Toyota Camry ACV40 air conditioning system and drain pipe annually to prevent the smell of swamp rot from appearing in the cabin. At the latest, after five years of active operation of the air conditioner, if white flakes appear on the front panel, you will have to replace the aluminum evaporator of the air conditioning system with a copper one.

Features of transmission and engine operation

The manual transmission in the SV body on the Camry 40 is a reliable and durable unit, but sometimes premature wear occurs release bearing clutch after running 40 thousand kilometers. When the mileage exceeds 80 thousand, it will begin to change gears with difficulty, which means it’s time to change the clutch disc.

The automatic transmission of the Camry 40 on the 2AZ-FE “four” is also reliable, except for minor troubles with the limit switch under the brake pedal - if it fails, the gear selector does not shift. After a long work period of seven years, contact may disappear in electronic unit automatic transmission control, the malfunction can be eliminated by soldering the connections properly.

The automatic transmission on the Toyota Camry ACV40 with a V6 engine requires compliance with the oil change schedule, but racing in forced modes will lead to rapid failure of the clutches and clogging of the channels of the hydraulic unit with wear particles.

On the Toyota Camry V40, the 2.4-liter engine is afraid of overheating and requires timely cleaning of its radiator and air conditioner - this must be done once every two years, otherwise the cylinder head will be hopelessly damaged. On this engine, if traces of antifreeze are visible near the pump and its operation is accompanied by extraneous sounds– change this unit immediately.

Both engines operated on the Camry 40 require only synthetics, otherwise its clutch will refuse to work in the VVT-i system, and if you neglect to clean the unit throttle valves through certain time, then replacing it will cost $900. Refueling with low-quality fuel will easily damage an expensive oxygen sensor.

On a Toyota Camry V40, the 3.5-liter engine can jam due to a leaky oil cooler hose, and previously this was an irreparable problem; after restyling, this was corrected by replacing the hose with a metal tube.

There are no complaints about the suspension and chassis of the Camry 40: and compliance with the deadlines for replacing consumable components and parts will significantly extend their service life. The Camry V40 photo you see below is a 2011 model.

Lu Toyota Camry v40

Technical characteristics and features directly depend on its configuration. Let's consider the options offered by the manufacturer.

- “Comfort” - an option with an affordable price. The 2.4L engine is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. The upholstery is fabric. Equipment: halogen lights, head unit, climate control, heated front row seats.

- “Comfort Plus” - in this configuration manual transmission gear shift was replaced by an automatic transmission. Additional equipment includes optics washers.

- "Elegance" - technical specifications the cars remained unchanged. But the prestige of the interior was positively influenced by the leather upholstery. Additionally, the position of the front row of seats is now adjusted not manually, but by electric drive. Added parking sensors Toyota Camry v40.

- “Prestige” - here there is already complete “stuffing”. Xenon optics and a directional stabilization system have been added to the existing characteristics of the previous version. Perhaps it was possible to “shove in” something else, but with a 2.4 liter engine it would not be rational. So, we can confidently say that the declared cost of this option fully corresponds to its capabilities.

- “Lux” - in this configuration a power unit with a displacement of 3.5 liters appeared, inside of which 277 “horses” were hidden. A 6-speed automatic transmission allows you to experience all the delights of driving a car with such technical characteristics.

Sales market: Russia.

Toyota Camry officially supplied to Russia was offered in Comfort, Elegance, Prestige and Luxury trim levels. The simplest basic Comfort model with a manual transmission has separate climate control, a CD player, heated mirrors, rain and light sensors and fabric seat upholstery. The Comfort trim level with a 5-speed automatic transmission is equipped with retractable headlight washers. The Elegance package includes leather seats with electrically adjustable driver's seat and electrical heating. In the Elegance Plus package, xenon headlights and cruise control are added to the above. Prestige offers a multi-function screen on the center console with navigation system and a rear view camera. Additional features on the Luxury V6 and six-speed automatic include back seat, divided in the ratio 40/20/40, adjustable in the longitudinal direction (165 mm), with adjustable backrest; rear window curtains; leather-covered steering wheel with wooden insert and audio control buttons.

In Russia, the car was offered with a 2.4-liter in-line 4-cylinder 2AZ-FE engine with a 5-speed manual transmission or 5-speed automatic transmission, as well as with a 3.5-liter V-shaped 6-cylinder 2GR-FE engine with 6-speed automatic transmission. The first engine is a modernized power unit of the previous generation, with a modified exhaust system, thanks to which it was possible to increase power to 167 hp. and at the same time slightly reduce fuel consumption. The 2GR-FE engine (277 hp) is installed on a fairly large number Toyota models and Lexus, and its technical and operational parameters make it one of the most reliable power units.

One of the advantages of the Camry has always been the reliability and comfort of the suspension. Its design and type remain unchanged - independent, on springs, with MacPherson struts. If compared with previous generation, then due to the increased base, the new model has lost some maneuverability, but has better stability at speeds. If we talk about “mechanics” and the basic 5-speed automatic transmission, we can note their fairly high reliability. As for the 6-speed “automatic” that comes with the V6, taking into account the very high torque of the “six” (346 Nm), those who like to “light up” may eventually encounter problems with the “automatic” itself. So even with such an engine, the Camry is still more intended for sedate and respectable driving. Its power is a guaranteed guarantee of durability, and its ultra-modern transmission is a guarantee of convenience and efficiency.

In terms of safety, the Toyota Camry demonstrates very high level. For all Camry 2006 model year ABS, EBD, electronic system brake force distribution and emergency brake booster. Belts with pretensioners and load limiters, dual-stage frontal airbags, side airbags and curtain airbags provide occupant protection during a collision. The seat backs have been modified, providing better protection from head and neck injuries. Starting from the “Prestige” configuration, additional active systems: exchange rate stability (VSC) and traction control (TRC).

Toyota Camry of this generation belongs to that category of cars that have not yet become obsolete, but at the same time have a fairly interesting price. Considering high quality manufacturing and reliability in general, a rich level of equipment and relatively inexpensive maintenance, this purchase can be very practical for long-term use.
