2020 Toyota Camry & Avalon TRD Have Plenty of Bite | MotorWeek Road Test

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

f you’re familiar with Toyota racing development, it’s probably because you’re a fan of off-road trucks, or maybe you follow Toyota’s championship winning NASCAR teams. Well, now Toyota is spreading a little of that high performance love around to some very unexpected places.

    I agree. The 2018+ are an improvement in the looks department for sure. I wouldnt get the TRD tho, id just go with the XSE, the TRD is too much of a "I look fast but am really not"... But then again when I remember its still FWD , it turns me off..

    I'm not gonna lie, I'm a sucker for cars like this. Like speciality cars that only a certain niche are interested in. I have a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T, 10 speed, but I like the Camry TRD. Mainly that exhaust. I could do without that wing. A spoiler like the Avalon has would work. What I found out is the TRD is based off the Camry SE model, so its pretty bare bones, but cheapest way you can get the V6. Only way before was getting XSE and a fully loaded XSE V6 is upper 30s to near $40k. I still like what they did. Reminds me of Acura CL type S, Nissan Altima SE-R, Mazadaspeed 3 and Mazadaspeed 6, etc...niche cars from early 2000s

Hopefully Toyota continues the trend and gives us an enthusiast Corolla with a manual one of these days and maybe, hopefully bring over the 6-Speed AWD Yaris GR for us to play with too.

    Pay more attention to the trap speed - this got 98mph which is commensurate with its power to weight ratio. The off the line traction, which they mentioned in the video, is the sole reason it got a bad time for it as the front wheels just spin slowly with the poor rubber that doesn't hook up. Part of this I guess is also that awful old track they used that had its pavement rubber coated from burnouts over the decades it has been used.

    300hp and it takes 6.5 seconds to 60mph? that's the slowest 300hp car i've ever heard of. maybe they should have gone awd to avoid the 2 seconds of tire spin at the start.

    AWD would have been nice but IS350 AWD is only 5.5 sec 0-60. This is 5.7 (yes i own one) - adding all the things people criticize (AWD, LSD, turbo or supercharger) would make this about $10K more.

    Needs AWD and an HP bump. 301 HP is plenty but it needs to be an increase over the base car. It feels more like a marketing scheme than a performance model. Not saying its a bad car, it just doesn't seem TRD enough if you know what i mean.
