The Return of the Toyota Camry All-Wheel Drive

It's important to say it loud and clear: for 37 years, the Toyota Camry has carved out a prominent place in the world of mid-size sedans because it's so popular and occupies the highest spot on the podium in its category. Whether we consult L'Annuel de l'Automobile 2020, Le Guide de l'Auto 2020 or the Protégez-vous annual Guide des autos neuves et d'occasion, all agree that the Toyota Camry is a good first and that it is a vehicle that has proven itself.

Toyota Drummondville, near Saint-Hyacinthe and Victoriaville along Highway 20, knows all about Japanese products and knows that this sedan cherished by so many Quebecers and Canadians has been an absolutely sure bet for all these years. Today, it proudly tells us about the all-new Toyota Camry all-wheel drive, the 2020 Toyota Camry.

An All-Wheel Drive Sedan

In 2020, Toyota innovates and offers an AWD version of its legendary Camry, which had already experienced an episode of all-wheel drive between 1988 and 1991. Today, what Toyota is offering us has nothing in common with the Alltrac of years past.

Many car buyers believe that all all-wheel-drive systems are the same, but there are many different technologies on the market. Toyota found the ideal all-wheel-drive system for the Camry based on its next-generation RAV4 compact SUV launched in 2019. The Dynamic Torque Control AWD system provides assured traction in slippery weather conditions while minimizing the extra fuel consumption typically associated with such systems. In fact, the AWD system on the 2020 Toyota Camry can direct 50 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels when starting from a standstill or in the event of front-wheel slippage.

Also, when all-wheel drive is not required, such as when cruising on dry roads, an electromagnetic coupling located in front of the drive shaft to the rear can disengage the drive shaft from the differential to help improve fuel efficiency. But the system re-engages the moment all-wheel drive becomes necessary. All-wheel drive works imperceptibly for both driver and passengers.

This all-wheel-drive system, called AWD, not only adds flexibility, but will also give you an even safer ride in bad weather or on slippery roads, for example. AWD will also provide you with the same suspension calibration as before, but this time with this additional traction capability.

AWD models are more often found on SUVs, but Japanese ingenuity transcends the current course of things in the automotive industry and adds an even sharper dimension to its beloved sedan, the 2020 Camry. You guessed it, the 2020 Toyota Camry AWD will be a hit on the roads of Quebec, Canada and the United States. The XSE V6 and XLE V6 versions will be powered by a 3.5-litre engine producing 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. We also know that the 2020 Toyota Camry LE, SE, XLE are powered by a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine producing 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.

And whether it's AWD or just the Camry we love so much, it remains hyper-comfortable. It has a spacious interior with innovative features and ingenious functionality with its navigation system. The Camry excels on the track as well as on the scenic roads of Quebec and Canada. Adventure has never been so enjoyable aboard a 2020 Camry AWD.
