Does Toyota Camry come with all-wheel drive? What kind of drive does Toyota Camry have?

Toyota Camry engine, or more precisely three engines. Today, the manufacturer of the new Toyota Camry offers Russian buyers a good choice. All three engines are gasoline, naturally aspirated, of varying displacement, power and design. Today we will try to talk in detail about the technical characteristics of Camry power units. By the way, the car is assembled in Russia, but the engines are supplied from foreign assembly plants.

The Dual VVT-iW system varies the timing of the engine's intake valves over a very wide range depending on driving style, allowing it to operate on either the traditional Otto cycle or the innovative Atkinson cycle, which improves fuel efficiency without compromising vehicle dynamics.

The design uses multi-fuel injection (D-4S) for each cylinder - 1 injector per cylinder + 1 injector per manifold.

• Acceleration to the first hundred – 10.4 seconds
• Fuel consumption in the city – 10 liters
• Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 7.2 liters
• Fuel consumption on the highway – 5.6 liters

The more powerful Camry power unit with a displacement of 2.5 liters already produces 181 hp. This is a 4-cylinder, 16 valve engine with an aluminum cylinder head and cylinder block. There is a chain in the timing drive. The new 2.5L Dual VVT-i engine features excellent fuel economy and high low-end torque. The Dual VVT-i system controls valve timing, and the intake manifold swirl valve (TCV) system optimizes air flow for low emissions and good dynamics. Engine specifications are below.

Toyota Camry engine 2.5 fuel consumption, dynamics

• Working volume – 2494 cm3
• Number of cylinders/valves – 4/16
• Cylinder diameter – 90 mm
• Piston stroke – 98 mm
• Power hp/kW – 181/133 at 6000 rpm
• Torque – 231 Nm at 4100 rpm
• Maximum speed – 210 kilometers per hour
• Acceleration to the first hundred – 9 seconds
• Fuel consumption in the city – 11 liters
• Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 7.8 liters
• Fuel consumption on the highway - 5.9 liters

Well, the most powerful engine of the Toyota Camry is a 6-cylinder V-shaped power unit, which according to the technical data sheet in Russia produces 249 hp. However, in other markets where taxes are not tied to the car's horsepower, this same engine miraculously produces more power. Like previous Camry engines, this one has an aluminum cylinder block and a timing chain, but has 24 valves. In addition, it is reliably known that there are hydraulic compensators that automatically adjust the valve clearance in the cylinder head of the 3.5 L V6.

The Dual VVT-i system controls intake and exhaust valve opening, timing and lift, while the Acoustic Controlled Intake System (ACIS) optimizes air intake, increasing efficiency and torque across all engine ranges. The ACIS system itself changes the geometry of the intake manifold depending on the operating mode of the engine. Toyota Camry 3.5L V6 specifications below.

Toyota Camry engine 3.5 fuel consumption, dynamics

• Engine model – 2GR
• Working volume – 2494 cm3
• Number of cylinders/valves – 6/24
• Cylinder diameter – 94 mm
• Piston stroke – 83 mm
• Power hp/kW – 249/183 at 6200 rpm
• Torque – 346 Nm at 4700 rpm
• Maximum speed – 210 kilometers per hour
• Acceleration to the first hundred – 7.1 seconds
• Fuel consumption in the city – 13.2 liters
• Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 9.3 liters
• Fuel consumption on the highway - 7 liters

The V6 engine turns the Camry into a very decent sports sedan, but you have to pay for dynamic acceleration not only when purchasing this car, but when driving to a gas station, since this power unit can hardly be called economical.

Toyota Camry XV 40, sixth generation. Years of production (2006-2011)

In Russia, cars with 2.4 and 3.5 liter engines were presented, with automatic and manual gearboxes. Powers ranged from 167 hp. up to 277 hp, which in principle was acceptable for this type of car. The model was quite dynamic, but not too voracious with adequate operation. If the owner gave free rein to his right leg, then the consumption could easily exceed 14-15 liters in the city. Probably the main drawback in the engine line is the lack of diesel options.

Whether this is a design flaw or a miscalculation of the engineers who installed an automatic transmission not designed for a powerful 3.5 V 6 is difficult to say. There is another guess: perhaps when assembling automatic transmissions at other Toyota factories around the world, parts of lower quality than Japanese ones are used, so those who are lucky enough to purchase a purebred version drive half a million km without problems, while others have to stop by for service and leave it at them their hard earned money.

Signs of an automatic transmission problem: throttle shifting when switching from 3rd to 4th gear, and extraneous sounds may be observed while driving in a not warmed-up gearbox.

The reason, as experts say, is the loss of oil pressure due to the destruction of the support bearing and wear of the clutches.

There are almost never any questions regarding the automatic gearbox for the 2.4 liter engine. The more rare the problems.

EngineV 6, errorCheckV.S.C.System

A fairly common mistake on 3.5 liter engines. Basically, as the owners of the XV 40 say, there is no need to worry; there are often cases when the error disappears on its own after a certain time; the VSC sensor can make itself felt due to technical shortcomings of the system.

If after a while the error does not go away, but the car drives normally, check the sensor itself. It may need to be replaced.

If the engine is unstable and the indicator lights up, the ignition coil will have to be replaced.

They also write on the forums that they managed to “solve” the error problem by replacing the battery.

Cooling pump

With a mileage of 80,000-100,000 km, the cooling system pump may fail. The problem is solved by replacing it with a new one.

Drive belt tensioners

Also considered one of the weak points. They will warn about their imminent “death” with a quiet clicking sound. This usually happens with a mileage of 90-110 thousand km.

Bendix starter

If, when starting a cooled engine, you hear a metallic grinding sound, most likely the starter overrunning clutch (Bendix) is to blame. This happens due to thickening of the lubricant.

Suspension

The suspension, like the entire car as a whole, is indestructible. The main problem parts can be called the front and rear stabilizer bushings, which give themselves away with a characteristic creaking sound when driving over uneven surfaces.

Noise insulationCamry XV40

Another miscalculation that some owners talk about reproachfully is the car’s poor sound insulation. The engine compartment, doors and arches transmit too many extraneous sounds.

Result:

If you are looking for a reliable car in the mid-price category, the previous generation Camry is your choice. How pre-restyling version, as well as the model produced from 2009 to 2011, are excellent for use in style, minimum cost, maximum driving pleasure.

The most acceptable option is with a 2.4 liter engine and automatic transmission. This model combines the same legendary reliability and high level of comfort.

The first generation of the Toyota Camry was introduced in Japan in 1982, and exports to the USA and Europe soon began. The front-wheel drive model was produced in sedan and hatchback bodies and was equipped with 1.8 and 2.0 petrol engines, as well as a two-liter turbodiesel. In the Japanese market the car was also sold as .

2nd generation (V20), 1986–1992

In 1986, the second generation Camry appeared. It was produced at factories in Japan, the USA and Australia with sedan and station wagon bodies. The range of power units included engines of 1.8 and 2.0 liters, as well as a 2.5-liter V6 engine, their power ranging from 82 to 160 hp. With.

3rd generation (V30, XV10), 1990–1996

The third generation Toyota Camry with the factory index V30, which debuted in 1990, was intended only for the Japanese market. The export version of the XV10 was similar in design, but it was larger, heavier and had a different design, and in Japan such a car was sold under the name Toyota Scepter.

The “Japanese” Camry had versions with sedan and hardtop bodies (sedan without a central pillar). The car was equipped with four-cylinder engines 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, as well as V-shaped “sixes” with a volume of 2 and 3 liters. There was also an all-wheel drive version in the range.

Introduced in 1991, the “American” version of the model was offered in sedan, station wagon and coupe body styles. The basic version of the Camry was equipped with a 2.2-liter engine (130 hp), and more expensive versions were equipped with V6 3.0 engines with a capacity of 185–190 hp.

4th generation (V40, XV20), 1994–2001

In the fourth generation, the division into Japanese and export versions of the model was maintained.

Toyota Camry for the local market with the V40 index began to be produced in Japan in 1994. The car was offered only with a sedan body, but as before it had a platform model. The cars were equipped with 1.8 and 2.0 petrol engines, as well as a 2.2-liter turbodiesel. All-wheel drive transmission was available in combination with 2 and 2.2 liter engines.

The export Camry XV20 model of 1996 was sold, including on the Russian market, in my homeland I was known under the names Toyota Camry Gracia. The technical part has not changed compared to the previous generation cars: 2.2 and V6 3.0 engines with a power of 133 and 192 hp. With. accordingly. In the late 1990s, coupes and convertibles began being offered to American buyers.

5th generation (XV30), 2001–2006

The fifth generation Toyota Camry sedan, well known in Russia, was produced from 2001 to 2006 only with a sedan body. We sold cars with 2.4 (152 hp) and V6 3.0 (186 hp) engines; paired with a less powerful engine, a four-speed automatic was an option, and in the second case it was included as standard. In other markets, for example, in the American, a version with a 3.3-liter power unit was also offered, and in Japan, the Toyota Camry was sold only with a 2.4-liter engine and an automatic transmission, but could have all-wheel drive. Sales of this model in Western Europe were discontinued in 2004.

6th generation (XV40), 2006–2011

The sixth generation of the model was introduced in 2006, and in 2007, the assembly of Camry sedans began at a plant near St. Petersburg. The basic version for the Russian market was equipped with a 2.4-liter engine (167 hp) paired with five-speed gearboxes, manual or automatic. The more expensive version had a 3.5-liter V-shaped six (277 hp) and a six-speed automatic transmission. As a result of the 2009 restyling, the Toyota Camry received a slightly updated appearance.

In other markets, a version with a 2.5-liter engine with a capacity of 169–181 hp was also offered. With. and an option with all-wheel drive transmission. Another modification is the Toyota Camry Hybrid with a 188-horsepower hybrid power plant, the electromechanical part of which was borrowed from “”, and the gasoline engine had a volume of 2.4 liters. In China and the countries of Southeast Asia, a slightly different model was sold under the name Camry - a larger sedan created on the same platform.

The "Permanent all-wheel drive" system is in constant readiness when the engine is running. The drive force is automatically distributed between the front and rear wheels using a non-wearing liquid clutch (Visco-clutch) in accordance with the instantaneous force ratio between the tires and the road surface.

With increasing slippage on the front axle (entering a slippery road), most of the drive force is redistributed to the rear axle.

To ensure normal braking at speeds above 25 km/h, the rear wheel drive is switched off and immediately re-engaged after the brake is released.

For physical reasons, the braking efficiency of an all-wheel drive vehicle cannot be higher than that of a two-wheel drive vehicle.

Therefore, you should not adopt a risky driving style.

The distribution of the drive force between the four wheels makes it possible, especially in winter conditions, to overcome inclines that cannot be overcome with a two-wheel drive. On descents, however, four-wheel drive offers no braking advantage over two-wheel drive. Overcome such sections of the path carefully.

All wheel drive warning lamp

Lights up when driving, front wheel drive only. If the lamp continues to light after a new start, contact an Orel workshop to eliminate the problem.

Flashing, prolonged activation of all wheel drive. Contact an authorized Orel workshop immediately, but drive with caution as braking stability is limited in critical situations.

All-wheel drive increases traction. Provides benefits when starting off and driving slowly, as well as on slippery roads and difficult areas.

The distribution of drive force between the 4 wheels reduces their slippage, better utilizes the traction of the tires and the road surface, and thereby increases the efficiency of acceleration.

The stability of the strip is improved due to an increase in transmitted lateral forces.

Reduced slippage helps reduce tire wear. At the same time, the durability of tires under the same conditions is higher than that of tires on the drive axle of an all-wheel drive vehicle of the same power.

To ensure perfect running of the machine, use tires of the same manufacturer, design, size and profile.

Regularly check the depth of the profile. The depth of the profile on the front wheels should not be significantly less than the depth of the profile of the rear wheels (maximum difference 2 mm). A large difference leads to jamming of the drive system.

If the wear on the front wheels is greater than on the rear, you need to swap them.

Do not tow at speeds above 80 km/h. Tow with the front axle raised, only with the ignition off or fuse 19 removed. Otherwise, the all-wheel drive mode will be activated.
