The seventh generation Camry was introduced at the 2006 North American International Auto Show alongside a hybrid version and went on sale in March 2006 as a 2007 model. Toyota normally begins selling the Camry in September but cut the previous model's lifespan to 4.5 years instead of 5 years. The 2007 Camry was redesigned and featured a 2-inch (51 mm) longer wheelbase, overall length and passenger volume remained equal to the predecessor, while trunk space decreased by about 1.5 cu-ft.
Power came from a choice of four and six-cylinder engines. The 2.4 L 2AZ-FE I4 engine was carried over from the past generation and produced 158 horsepower (118 kW) and 161 ft·lb. It came with a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic. The 3.5 L 2GR-FE V6 in contrast came with a new six-speed automatic and produced 268 horsepower (200 kW) and 248 ft·lb.
The Camry was facelifted for the 2010 model year with a redesigned fascia, new taillights, a new 2.5-litre 2AR-FE 4-cylinder engine and new transmissions.
Camry Hybrid
The seventh-generation Toyota Camry is the first generation in which the Camry has been available as a gasoline/electric hybrid. The Camry Hybrid utilises Toyota’s second generation Hybrid Synergy Drive and a 4-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower (110 kW) in conjunction with a 40 hp (30 kW) electric motor for a combined output of 187 horsepower (139 kW). The Camry became the third Toyota model sold in America to be offered as a hybrid after the Prius and the Highlander Hybrid.
