Engines & Transmission
The 2012 Toyota Camry comes with similar engine variants as the previous year, though refined: a 2.5 litre four cylinder engine for the low end models and a 3.5 litre V6 engine for the high end models (Camry SE & XLE). The 2.5 litre engine is a DOHC 16-valve Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligence (VVT-i) four-cylinder engine providing 178hp at 6000rpm. Toyota Camry 2012 with V6 engine will deliver 268hp at 6200rpm.
Both engines offer a 6-speed automatic transmission system (ECT-i). So, manual transmission is missing on 2012 Camry. However, the Toyota Camry SE model comes with paddle shifters that offer manual control of the automatic transmission system.
Though not relevant to Nigeria, the 2012 Camry Hybrid comes with a 156hp 2.4 litre 4 cylinder engine, which combines with a powerful electric motor and 244.8V sealed Nickel-Metal Hydride Ni-MH battery to deliver 200hp. 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid offers Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission ECVT (automatic transmission).
