The Toyota Camry 2010 remains endearing features from previous model years, including buttery-smooth ride and spacious, tranquil cabin. And other features just got better, take its powerful, fuel-economic and super smooth 268-hp V6 as an example. It is not only the best V6 engine that Toyota Camry lineup has ever offer ever, but also the best V6 we can find on family sedans.

The downside on the Camry 2010 lies on the interior quality which may come a little underwhelming. Having said that, given a highly competitive segment like the family sedan, the Camry's firm position is praise-worthy.

The Toyota Camry 2010's profile

The Camry 2010 gets a mid-cycle facelift. Most remarkable is the increased engine cylinder to 2.5 litre from the previous smaller 2.4 litre. The transmissions both manual and automatic now can switch among 6 speeds instead of five.

The exterior is also redesigned, featuring a new grille, enlarged headlights, and reworked taillights. Speaking of safety, all the models now get stability control as standard feature. Other noteworthy additions are automatic up and down windows, a new audio system coming as an option with Bluetooth connection and satellite radio on the lower-spec variants.

2.1 Toyota Camry 2010 XLE

The  Toyota Camry 2010 XLE receives the most daring design on the front end, which embodies curving cut lines, sharp points and entertaining surface planes. Dipping broadly through the middle, the hood really pushes visual heft out over the front fenders, and atop the horizontal slats is the Toyota emblem. All the diverse cosmetics elements are blended on the single-piece fascia, making an attractive, smooth aerodynamic overall look.

A new front bumper and grille are also given to the XLE. The intake opening is lowered and the projector headlight is enlarged, which are well aligned with the dominating design and adds to the XLE’s bold and distinctive look.

In profile, the XLE looks less trendy and a tad bulky with square doors, symmetrical windows and a high beltline, embellished by a barely noticeable character line running through the door handles mounted on the flush. The wheel gets circular openings which is well aligned with a lower profile for a sporty look and driving.

The Toyota Camry 2010 XLE ’s rear end is somewhat reminiscent of the BMW 7’s squared trunk lid, only in a smaller figure. Its trunk gets a bustle-like hump on the trailing edge, which blesses it a mild aero-lip, suggesting that it serves as a rear lift reducer when the car is at high speed. The theme of the headlight is continued on the taillights and are sophisticatedly detailed.

Getting inside, the XLE has been adorned with shades of elegance. Although the treatment is not quite up to Lexus-level luxury, the Camry really gives a highly polished interior for a mid-sized, mid-priced sedan. The XLE used a faux shiny wood-grain trim all over the inside, including surrounding the door-release handles. The XLE offers lots of space, comfortable seating both at the front and rear, although taller passengers may feel less thigh supported with the seat bottoms. Especially, the  XLE  offers a luxury that rarely found in the segment: reclining seatbacks.

2.2 Toyota Camry 2010 SE

2010 Toyota Camry SE

The SE has the boldest, most distinguishable look of all. Its true spoiler enhances the aero treatment on the trunk lid while the lower edge of the car is flared outward by a full body kit. The 17-inch, six-spoke aluminum wheels also add to the sporty vibe of the SE. The aerodynamic massaging is not so recognizable to the eye. The Toyota stylists also tuned the flow to aerodynamic force nearly equally between the front and rear tires, helping to press the car against the pavement.

From the inside, the Toyota Camry 2010, SE gauges are designed with black lettering on the contrasting white background with sharp blue backlighting. It also gets exclusive interior treatment with either ash gray or dark charcoal hues and a leather-wrapped, 3-spoke steering wheel.

The SE offers entertaining and fun driving experience. It steers the turn-ins more accurate than it is normally expected in a Camry. It corners with stable and solid manner, and minimal body lean is noticed. On the brake travel, it feels soft and the travel is long compared with sport sedan counterparts.

The  Toyota Camry 2010 SE V6  really tempts the driver to actually use the sequential manual shift provided on the Toyota’s 6-speed automatic. In manual mode, the transmission will keep the selected gear from shifting up, while promptly shifting it right down with a simple click on the lever. The shifts feel smooth, yet swift and confident.
