2. Standard driver-assistance features
The Camry comes standard with some of the latest driver-assist features. You may not have realized that you wanted high-tech features like automatic high beams and adaptive cruise control, but once you have them you'll be smitten. In addition, lane-keep assist and a pre-collision system can help you get where you're going, while the birds-eye-view camera (an available option on XLE and XSE trims) gives you a 360-degree view of your surroundings.
3. Easy connectivity
We all want to stay connected when we're on the road, and the 2020 Toyota Camry makes that easy. The Camry comes with standard Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, Amazon Alexa™, and the Toyota+Alexa app. So, no matter what type of phone you have, it's easy to use it without becoming distracted behind the wheel. Meanwhile, the wireless phone charger (available on the LE and SE trims and standard on the XLE and XSE trims) ensures you always have power.
4. Available luxury upgrades
The 2020 Toyota Camry is a practical entry-level sedan that you can upgrade to a more luxurious feel if you choose. The XLE and XSE trims come standard with leather-trimmed seats that are heated in the front. In addition, there is an optional moonroof available in the LE and SE trims. A panoramic sunroof is an available option on the XLE and XSE trims, but also comes standard if you opt for the V6 engine in those trims.
5. Sporty driving experience
The 2020 Toyota Camry comes with a strong engine for a medium sedan. The standard 201-hp engine is peppy, while the available 301-hp V6 offers you even more power.
