At the junction of the Millennium, the concept of business class cars has significantly changed, more precisely, expanded. A separate class D + appeared, with what, not only in the American classification, and in the world, the E-class has expanded. At the same time, cars of this rank bought for various purposes: from servicing the interests of deputies and officials to personal use of sufficiently wealthy citizens.
But one of the most popular cars in this class has always remained Toyota Camry. In the XV40 body, that is, in the 6th generation of this model. Interestingly, this car can be safely called Russian, and not even because he constantly appeared in state procurement and delivered representatives of power Russian Federation, but also because japanese company Opened the plant in the area of \u200b\u200bSt. Petersburg, that is, from the point of view of localization, this car is really Russian.
Causes of popularity
It is worth noting that the popularity of Camry is not so easy to explain. It does not stand out by a magnificent interior or exterior, it is unlikely that it can be called the queen of speed, according to the technical characteristics, everything is also quite ordinary. The secret of the success of Toyota Camry is that the car is in itself a shadow "golden middle": the design here is quite calm, the car itself is unusually reliable, there are no frankly simple complete sets, and the level of comfort is quite acceptable even for government representatives. In addition, the state purchases and location of production were helped. It is not surprising that now there are quite a few people try to buy this particular car, despite the fact that it costs it is much more expensive than the machines of an identical box office and the level of comfort.
Even if you compare Toyota Camry with Mercedes 211, which initially seems to be unambiguously losing for the Japanese, then everything is not so unequivocal. Considering how much you have to spend on servicing a ten-year-old "German", it is much wiser to ride on the trouble-free Toyota Camry of the same years, although they will initially pay more. This machine is truly successful, reliable and economical in the content, which has become the main causes of its widest distribution in Russia and popular in our day.
Body
Toyota Camry boasts one of the best anti-corrosion treatments in its class, so even the ten-year-old cars are well protected from rust, the area of \u200b\u200bits spread is extremely small. Occasionally complain only on the intake of paint, but it is a matter of much smaller caliber. Corrosion is often noticed on subframes, so when choosing a car do not forget to look there.
Traditionally problematic for cars used by Toyota Camry, in view of a relatively small age, rarely make in themselves the cause of the waste and excitement for the owner. However, if the car was poorly worked out, then there may be questions to this part of the car, despite the "young" age. Nature ratio and bad roads can spoil any car!
The paint itself is not the best that you can understand, looking at the bumper of the car after the 5-7 years of the mileage. But this problem is not too difficult to eliminate with the help of special processing with protective elements or application of ceramics. Yes, and excellent dealership, a large number of suggestions for painting the car allow you to forget about this problem to any caring owner.
In general, Toyota Camry is distinguished by an excellent condition among its "peers". In those days, the anti-corrosion coating did not save as today, so this car is still quite comparable as a state with new machines, if, of course, they cared for her.
In terms of the exterior, it is possible to find face with purely decorative elements. So, the chrome-plated parts quickly lose the shine, which is why the car looks less elements, and the fastening elements are often seated and rust. Also, the mines of the body include the lower part of the bumper, which is clearly not distinguished by durability, so any physical contact with the firmware can be fatal for it.
Later this problem is solved by restyling, but in this body she, unfortunately, is present, as you should not forget the drivers, because the repair will cost at least 50 thousand rubles. With sufficiently large run, the following problems are also observed: windows are rubbed, headlight reflectors usually burn out, the door handles often lose the original appearance And they can work incorrectly.
All the shortcomings, called by us, do not go to any comparison with many other models, which is why the body can be called an exceptionally strong side of Toyota Camry. The car with mileage looks quite presentable and does not require any investments for cosmetic work.
Salon
In the cabin this car All is well, but only at first glance. It has its drawbacks here, namely: not the best quality finishing materials, the stylized varnish, stylization under the tree quite quickly loses the view, the skin is called. After a pair of hundreds of thousands traveled path, the Toyota Camry salon can still stay silent, but only if the machine was properly serviced, the original fasteners were used. Of course, it begins to try the central console, minor drawers, rat steering, as well as door handles. Fortunately, any of these problems concerns except for large fans of silence, and you can get rid of them without any problems in any service for a small fee and in the shortest possible time.
There is practically no questions to the electronics, it is reliable here and relatively modern. Questions arise except for the power windows, due to which cars even respond from sale. Therefore, if you have a problem with windows, then you may be replaced by dealers this electronics. You can also count on the replacement of rugs and fasteners to them, as some of them simply pressed on the gas pedal. In general, the electronics is fine. But the chair, in many respects, due to the size, may look unprepacently, especially if the driver is quite massive and often drove.
Electronics
With electronics in the car, there are also few problems, a weak point can be called except the generator, more precisely, the overtook coupling on it, which can cause noise and other problems even with a relatively small mileage. The problem solve the installation of a whole pulley from "Americans". The wiring here is extremely simple and reliable, the wires are practically short.
Toyota Camry with a 2.4 engine is equipped with a 4-cumulative "automatic", which sometimes may not be switched out of the selector glitches. It is possible to fix it with a banal disassembly and lubricant, installing a new brake sensor. The motor lock can also be incorrectly operated, but it is necessary to replace it inexpensively, and it is possible and simply remove the blocking pin.
Weak place from the point of view of electronics can also be called the ECU anti-affiist system, which is responsible for blocking the motor at the stealing of the car. It is open, so it is easy to hack hijackers. So it is worth thinking about additional protection measures! At the same time, the machine is an immobilizer, alarm, which adds complexity in terms of electronics.
Brakes, suspension and steering wheel
The brake system, with proper care and lubrication of the calipers, does not cause complaints and works fine even with a large mileage. But much depends on the engine. With a 3.5 liter motor, which is literally created for aggressive ride, the pads will not live for a long time. Weak place can be called a handbrake, but it is simply practically useless for cars with a "automatic", so it is usually not even replaced with an insufficient braking effort and do not even be replaced, which is quite explained.
In terms of suspension, Toyota Camry causes only positive emotions, because it is perfect. With a solid run, it is worth changing only supports, and even then, rather, for comfort. The lack of a regular need for collapse can be attributed. There are also some standard problems for used machines, which you can quickly and without tangible spending.
With the steering column there are also few problems. She begins to tapping with large run, and the oil is well sealed and rarely follows. Malfunctions are happening with the steering position sensors that can cause problems with electronics, but this is a rare phenomenon.
Transmission
Car on the mechanics installed classic and verified E351, which does not cause complaints, is distinguished by reliability. Problems can be attributed only to the state of the shruses and the possibility of the proceedings. Also because of long operation The switching lever is cleared, and the scenes are not distinguished by stability. Drive cables It is advisable to change after 200 thousand, so as not to break them from the locks at all.
"Machines", which are most, are represented by AISIN U250E, U660E, U760E, the other variations, although they exist, in Russia they were extremely rare. It is the first option of the most common, especially for machines with a 2.4-liter engine. With proper care, this box is almost eternal! But, if you use Camri as a racing car, then problems will arise very soon. Fortunately, to solve them is not difficult thanks to the prevalence of U250, which gave the opportunity to many service centers to push to repair them well.
U660E does not differ as reliability and has typical problems For many machines: solenoids, lining, drum and stove wear out, thermal sensors fail, small malfunctions occur in operation. Also ordinary is the wear of the back cover, in which the C1-C2 packets light up. Be careful to the main body bearing, which may be loosened, because of which later will have to change the entire system. On the U760E, many of these problems decided by making this box ideal for motors by 3.5 liters.
The sixth generation of Toyota Camry has been produced from January 2006 to 2011. In the CISRY 40 countries, you can call Camry 40 without exaggeration legendary car. They are very much in every city and despite the already respectable age of Camry 40 remains desirable for many motorists.
Camry 40 - without exaggeration a cult car
Camry XV 40 to restyling
Why is Toyota Camry XV 40 still popular and is in demand? The answer is obvious: it is incredibly reliable. Even passing hundreds of thousands of kilometers with minimal attention from the owner, she is ready to ride more.
Also, the undoubted advantage is the size of Camry 40. This is a big sedan who is well suited for a small family. The features of Camry 2006 can be attributed a spacious trunk, sufficient accommodation and, that is not very important for our motorist, solidity. The chronic problems of this car are not so much and their solution will not require large financial costs from the owner of the "Socketonists".
Exterior and Body
The appearance of Camry in 40 bodies can not be called bright and memorable. It does not stand out in the stream and it is hardly to be turned on passersby. But at the same time design, despite the appearance of the next generation, does not seem outdated. Smoothed rounded Camry 2009 lines twist not small sizes of the sedan. In general, the appearance of "Sockeys" is a restrained, solid and quite attractive.
Like most Japanese cars paintwork The body of the Camry 6 generation is not an example for imitation. Chips and scratches appear easily, but metal is well galvanized and these cars rarely rot, but time and reagents can take their way that be careful when buying, supported by Camry.
Salon and Interior Equipment
Black cabin Camry 40 with blond wood inserts. Agree, not the most beautiful option?
Salon Camry 2006 is a wonderful continuation of the exterior. He is the same not intricate, not affecting the sizes of the driver and passengers. At the same time, the most simple equipment Equipped with the necessary options.
Toyota Camry 2008 russian market Even in the simplest configuration, Comfort will trim the skin and has the ability to adjust on the departure and over the corner of the tilt. Seats are not distinguished by bright pronounced side support, and whether it needs Camry 2007, this is not a sport car and not hot hatchback.
Engine and gearbox
With the engines and transmissions of the "Socketon" all at the highest level. Engine volume 2.4 2AZ-FE 167L.S. (gasoline, as well as more voluminous), could be aggregated with a 5-speed manual manual or automaton with the same amount of gear (U250E). In these combinations, problems with reliability are very rare and caused by huge mileage or improper maintenance rather than production miscalculation. This motor provides Toyota Camry 2008 with dynamics in the city and on the track. For long and trouble-free life power aggregate And the transmission needs to change the oil in them in a timely manner, and they will ride and ride.
Engine 2.4 2AZ-Fe
More powerful engine V6 3.5 liter 277l.s. The 2GR-FE was put in a pair only with a 6-speed automaton (U660E). In this pair there are problems with automatic transmission: It is not intended for a long aggressive ride, constant sharp starts from the place, and with such a unknown exploitation, a powerful engine bursts its own box.
Camry XV40 fuel consumption
Both motors have an acceptable appetite. Engine 2.4 on average consumes 10 l / per 100km, in the city consuming 13.5, and on the highway 7.8 l / per 100 km, which is quite small even in modern standards. Oddly enough, a larger power unit has the same manufacturer average flow Fuel 10 l / per 100 km, while V6 3.5 Eats 14.1 liters of fuel in the city, and on the highway it appetite and equals 7.4 at all. Such no high indicators are explained by the fact that with a more volumetric engine Camryv 40 put a transmission with a large number of gears.
Chassis
Toyota Camry 2010 is built on the Toyota platform to with a fully independent spring suspension with MacPherson racks. What provides the legendary smoothness of the stroke and softness. All elements of the 6 generation Camry suspension are very reliable and easily able to serve more than one hundred thousand mileage kilometers. Brakes can only be disk, and they, not say that weak, but with an aggressive ride style, especially with a 277 strong engine, require increased attention. Discs can be a tale of overheating that guide calipers can score.
Black Camry - Classic
When choosing Camry 2008 with mileage, the state of the brake system can become an indicator of the relationship to the car of the previous owner. If the brake system does not cause questions, then for the machine at least followed, and may not try to put high-speed records.

Disadvantages of Toyota Camry in the body XV40
Motor V6 3.5 2GR-Fe
Society is an excellent car, but there are no ideal cars, so it even has flaws. Some motorists consider the lack of a diesel engine and universal form factor, extremely soft suspension And Neurko pronounced side support for the seasons of the sixth generation of Camry. But this does not ask for engineers - this is the philosophy of Camry 2011.
To the troubles that awaiting you in the cabin can be attributed: insufficiently wear-resistant seat upholstery materials both in fabric and in the leather version, but the buttons covering the buttons, which is quickly erased, symbols often appear, noise insulation is not a reference for cars of this class.
With a fairly caring attitude towards a car and interval observance maintenance, Toyota Camry 2006 is unlikely to surprise you technical malfunctions and problems. But there are aggregates requiring increased attention of the owner. ACV40 Camry automatic transmission with Motor 3.5 requires frequent oil replacement, but it will not save it from breakdown, with an unnecessary style ride. Motor V6 due to a leakage hose cooling fluid can overheat, eliminated this problem in restyled cars, replacing the hose with a metal tube.
Both motors work only on synthetic oil, long-term use of the other, can lead to breakage of VVT-I couplings. The refueling of frankly bad fuel will cause the oxygen sensor failure.
Toyota Camry in the 40th body, or, as they are often called, "Society", produced from 2006 to 2011, and now it is a pretty popular car on secondary market. He likes those drivers who appreciate the solid exterior, reliability, unpretentiousness and inexpensive operation: according to this parameter, the Japanese sedan is ahead of most competitors. But even such a proven model of the model has weak places to pay attention to when purchasing and at the very beginning of operation, to avoid expensive repairs. This is especially important, given that the cost of Toyota Camry XV40 on the secondary market has giant differences: the cheapest copies (as a rule, battered in a circle) can be found for 350-385 thousand rubles, and the most expensive - for 800. On average, this model Offer for 550-600 thousand.
Power units
In truth, the legendary reliability is peculiar only toyota settings Camry with engine 2.4 (167 hp, 2AZ-FE marking) - It comes in a pair with a five-speed box aISIN gear U250E / U151E, sometimes the last label as AISIN 95-51LS. The Japanese assembly cars were more often raised by U250E, and the Russian - U151e. Both modifications are considered successful, such automatic transmission is able to pass 300 thousand kilometers without repair, and when timely replacement Filters and oils and generous operation The resource can be 500-600 thousand kilometers and more.
It is much worse things with a motor 3.5 (277 hp), having a 2GR FE marking, and a six-speed ACP U660E. There are many cases when the gearbox failed and required expensive repairs (from 60,000 rubles and higher). Two factors contribute to breakdowns: sharp starts from traffic lights that are harmful to any ACP, as well as long-term non-stop riding on high speeds - it is particularly addicted precisely for a six-speed U660E box. Due to the disadvantages of the cooling system, the box is quickly overheated. This problem is partly solved by installing an additional cooling radiator, but still experts recommend every 2 hours away on the highway to make at least short stops. Also, due to the unsuccessful design of the gearbox itself, solenoids, the selector position board, the thermal sensor, the back cover and other elements, and the overheating also contributes to this too, is also pretty. But even if you drive only around the city and neatly, it is not at all the fact that you will avoid mentioned problems!
Based on this, we recommend that you acquire "Socipte" only with the 2.4 engine. As practice shows, its power is quite enough for such a huge car. When driving on the highway, you will feel confident and can easily go to overtaking. Motor 3.5 does not provide special advantages, but increases potential investments in the repair. In addition, copies from 3.5 more often acquired lovers of racing and sharp starts from the traffic light, and therefore the chances to meet a whole, not the "enhanced" car much lower compared to 2.4.
By the way, consumption on cars with 2.4 and 3.5 engines is almost no different. With moderate calm ride in the city, it ranges from 12 to 14 liters of gasoline by 100 kilometers depending on the length of the routes and the number of traffic lights. Winter with warming up - 14-16 liters. Note that Toyota Camry in the 40th body works fine on. Summer spends approximately 14-15.5 liters of gas, in winter - 16-16.5 (provided that the cold car warms on gasoline).
The engines themselves are quite reliable and not prone to "". Oil consumption is up to 1 liter per 10,000 kilometers. Higher indicators are sometimes observed on engines 3.5 with big mileageEspecially with drivers with an aggressive ride style.
Body
The weak site of the Toyota Camry XV40 can be called the hood and front bumper. Skirt front bumper It often suffers when leaking on the wipers, also in such cases it is easily deformed by the fastenings of the bumper, which is why tangible gaps appear. Sometimes the bumper can literally correct to the place by pressing the finger, but this measure solves the problem to the first serious road irregularity. As for the hood, it is quickly covered small chicks When driving on the highway. The hood deflector helps only partially, in any case, we recommend sometimes visiting body a hundred and pour the paint chip to avoid corrosion development. All other body elements are distinguished by sufficient resistance - although, of course, by car, which is 8-10 years and more, there will be many small scratches and chip. Also note plastic thresholds is a very good solution, it will save you from regular tints after the winter, especially if you live in the region where the roads in the cold season are treated with aggressive reagents.
By the way, another nuance: the front headlights are prone to fog in the rain and after washing. Oddly enough, it happens even at absolutely whole headlights that do not have visible physical damage. Probably fogging is due to microcam or disadvantages of design. Repair headlights do not require, but still an unpleasant moment.
Salon
The velor interior has a non-zero appearance, but it almost does not deteriorate over time: even on cars with a mileage of 300 thousand it looks quite fresh. But the leather salon is already erased by 100 thousand mileage - in this regard, the Japanese car is significantly inferior to the "Germans". Not only the races, but also the first cracks may appear by 200 thousand. To extend the life of the skin, it is necessary to periodically process it with special lotions, especially at the moments of a sharp change of temperature - before winter and after it.
Also buyers of the car it is worth paying attention to the work of seat heating: the contact is often breaking on the front passenger seat, which is why heating stops functioning. But the adjustment of the position of the seats almost never fails, which, of course, does not cancel the need to check it upon purchase.

An important detail: In the cabin, the central console begins to creak 100 thousand, but specialists easily solve this problem. And the cause of non-working cigarette lighters is most often burnt fuses - experts can replace them in a couple of minutes and several hundred rubles.
Technical elements
Toyota Camry XV40 suspension It is characterized by soft and "omnivorous", most of its elements are withstanding 100 thousand runs and more even with low quality roadbeds. Sometimes the suspension is called unnecessary, although with due "mastery" and the number of pits, of course, it requires repair. Most often, the replacement needs and racks. The new shock absorber is about 7,000 rubles, quality analogs can be bought for about 4500 rubles. Racks are about 2000-2500 rubles for the original and 1000-1500 rubles as analogs.
From other expensive parts of the car it is worth mentioning valve train chain - Its resource is approximately 300 thousand kilometers, after which the replacement is required. Also often occurs such a problem as a break of the steering loop. Replacement is quite expensive - up to 6,500 rubles with work. If there is damage to the loop, the control buttons on the steering wheel are unstable, they may not respond to pressing at all or respond "once". If the problem is aggravated, then the cruise control will cease. Although practice shows that some owners after the appearance of the first problems with the train until its significant damage and lack of cruise control took place for several years and 50-70 thousand runs.
Also, when buying Toyota Camry in the 40th body, we recommend paying close attention to the protection systems. This car is not only in great demand among hijacked specialists, but in general it is easily hijacked due to an unsuccessful location electronic block Motor control. Therefore, it is extremely desirable that in the instance of a high-quality dialogue alarm, immobilizer or a hood / gearbox lock, as well as a GSM module. Without at least 2 of the above-mentioned elements of protection, the hijacking risks will be colossal risks.
And the last detail: do not appreciate this car by. The fact is that at the Toyota Camry, experts ware mileage in a matter of minutes, and in the future it will not be able to significantly determine even on the official service. Of course, it is possible to calculate the approximate mileage by the number of hours, the work of headlights and other are not the most popular ways, but it often does not make sense. It is much more important than the overall condition of the car, the cabin and the LCP. With the careful operation of "Society", even after 300-400 thousand mileage, it looks acceptable and does not require special costs. And if it used young "Schumachers", then for 200 thousand she could turn into a "bucket". Be careful when inspecting the car, take the expert with you or go with the owner to a hundred, check all body elements with a thickness gauge and pay attention to the details that we described in the article. Successful purchase!
What broke from us?
In 2017, we bought ten-year Toyota Camry in the 40th body with a 2.4 engine. From the starting attachments, the oil and filters were replaced, as well as the replacement of the two ignition blocks of xenon - the headlights periodically gasli.
After half a year of operation, oil was detected from the gearbox. Inspection at the service station showed the absence of serious problems, but it was necessary to replace the tube of the oil pan and the washer of the oil skipping hole, which "worked" and was quit due to age. The cost of these spare parts is 120 and 60 rubles, respectively. More expensive work of masters, because To replace these parts, it was necessary to drain and replace the oil from the ACP pallet, or find the perfectly clean tank to fill the same oil back.
Also, during the maintenance of HBO, a small crack was discovered on the rubber ventilation pipe of the crankcase (the price is 700 rubles). The nozzle was replaced.
In general, the car did not require serious investments, and some details had to change due to natural wear and age
Sincerely, Sergey Petrov.
Used class in the mid-90s, only cars of class E were considered, but to the beginning of the two thousandth, the classification was shot. The "disrepair" of this class is simply not left, but the D-class rang out in the dimensions so much that I first called D +, and then it turned out that it was most convenient to call this class of cars "mid-sized or business class", by analogy with American classification . So everyone understands what it is about.
In Russia, large, but not particularly "premium" cars bought for personal use, and for corporate parks, and for the needs of secondary and top officials. Today it will be about the car, which for a long time has become a class of class and the best-selling car among themselves similar in Russia for many years - Toyota Camry in the sixth generation, that is, in the XV 40 body.
The model has been produced from 2006 to 2011, and for us it is interesting to the fact that her success made Toyota to open production near St. Petersburg. According to today, the norms of localization is the "domestic" machine, which is well noticeable for all sorts of state procurement and the abundance of these sedans in a variety of federal buildings.
WhybuyCamry?
What is the reason for this success? It is hardly the case in the appearance of the car. It is quite "Central Asian", although quite characteristic. She does not have the most chic interior. And in terms of the machine, the car does not surprise at all - everything is not good and standard: atmospheric motors, simple automatic transmission. Is that MacPherson suspension instead of multi-dimensions from behind as a whole can be considered a womb, but for Toyota it is just typical.

Secret - in combination of reliability and image of brand, comfort and successful price Policy manufacturer. And, of course, in localization and state procurement. The same car itself is a bit, but better than all competitors on average: it does not have too cheap complete sets ,, the design is calmer than that of TEANA, and the quality of the main units is excellent.
These machines have very little serious problems - this is a pure truth. And the quality of service is higher than that of other brands - Toyota still does not go to the support of the "pseudoecological" norms of increasing intervals, that obliging the owners of 10 thousand to change the oil in the motor, filters and other consumables.
Wishing to acquire reliable car Still enough, therefore prices are held at a very high level. At the moment, a ten-year-old Camry is at least one third more expensive classmates, and even premium European machines E-class of the same age.

Of course, at first glance, it is strange that someone would prefer Toyota Mercedes in the 211st body, but if you look at the number of problems that awaiting a typical buyer, and planned costs, everything falls into place. Mercedes, taking into account the cost of operation during a couple of years, will be more expensive, and noticeable. So everything is correct: Toyota is bought lean, and Mercedes are those who can afford. Or is everything not so easy?
We look more detailed on the nuances of the structure, because the first cars have already exceeded the ten-year-old threshold, which by the standards of any brand - the age of the venerable, and the youngest machines of this generation are already over five years old. Let's say, at this age they manage to supply a bunch of expensive problems. But Toyota is all otherwise.
Body
There is no question of the quality of anti-corrosion processing of Camry. Well, or almost no. Rarely which copies have easy paint peel on the hood or on the edges of the doors. According to most owners, this is a real nightmare and horror. In fact, quite typical little things in life.
The color itself is not so ideal, the LCP is easily maintained by the five-year-old age, and the front is suffering from numerous chips and scuffs. Especially getting wide bumpers - on their smooth surface, all defects are visible as on the palm. In general, many put together the entire front-arm "armor platform" or paint "ceramics" - especially durable varnish.
In the photo: Toyota Camry Le '2009-11 An even more rare phenomenon is corrosion at the edges of the arches. She meets on machines from Moscow or Peter, with a very large mileage and banal "sandblasting" and poor service. Practice shows that it is not necessarily a car after an accident and body repair: when having disappeared even body Toyota. At this age it will be far from perfect.

Saves good quality dealer service, Warranty on paintwork and, oddly enough, a high residual price of machines. After all, it is much easier to decide to paint the car at a cost of 700 thousand rubles than a car price about 300 thousand. The cost of the operation is approximately the same and in the other case, and the cost gain will be radically varied.
If you look more carefully, the corrosion of subframes will be discovered, a slight disruption of suture sealant in the front side member zone of the floor and motor compartment. Perhaps - scored drainage windshield niches and every small one.
But in general, the condition is different for the better from all matters of comparable age. If we talk about the bodies, then only the Opel Vectra C, Volvo S 60 and S 80, Audi before 2008 is held on a similar or slightly lower level of the machines comparable cars. Now this level of anti-corrosion protection is not in fashion.

True, the Japanese approach, unfortunately, does not provide stainless fasteners and road chemistry-resistant decor elements. The whole "chrome" and a variety of nuts under the hood and the bottom of the car are seated and covered with rust on the general bases. Solve problems in different ways. Someone paints chrome and does not pay attention to the difficulty of servicing the suspension due to the corrosive fasteners, someone changes the elements on new or "contract" and anticoroid everything to the smallest detail. By the credit of the owners, the last service option is quite typical, reliability fans for its preservation go for extra expenses.
The list of unpleasant trifles with the body does not end. Lower "lip" of the front bumper on cars to restyling - typical place Repair. The unsuccessful design climbs out any unsuccessful contact with the wets or snowdrifts, is especially characterized by a breakdown when driving reverse. On many machines, this part of the bumper was repaired and reinforced, sometimes not even one time. Replacing the bumper on restyling costs where more expensive repairAnd usually it is the consequences of a more serious impact. "Question price" - more than 60 thousand rubles, and includes replacement of the bumper, head optics, fog lights and many additional elements.

Door handles are weak, and the paint is delivered to them. In winter, you need to be neat, when about the door, it is not necessary to pull the door. The windshield is rather soft, and to run in 100 thousand may be of the order of it. Like the front optics - but it will mostly harm the burnout of the reflectors of the headlights, and not the muddy glass.
There are simply no serious and regular problems. It affects a very careful study of almost all elements. When examining the car you understand, for which it is so appreciated. Very carefully covered all vulnerable places. The conjugation of bumpers and wings is designed so that friction is almost excluded even with an inaccurate installation. Plastic thresholds and lockers is soft enough, withstands the stones and is carefully fixed. The tightness of the design is thought out to the smallests - plums are not contaminated, the moisture is not falling on top of the moisture, the drainage is made with a good margin and is disturbed reluctantly, except if you constantly put the car under the trees in the fall.
However, do not be surprised that the owners of the previous Camry in the body of XV 30 consider this car not particularly reliable, and the body is ill-conceived. After all, the paintwork flies, the door opening limiters click, the mirrors break when they hit, and the scratch will not turn out. In general, before the ideal of the "real imperial quality" yet (or rather - already) far.
Salon
With the salon of difficulties a little more than with the body. The interior is quite pleasant at first glance demonstrates the lack of quality of materials and sealing the ubiquitous "silver", the skin is crushed, and the fabric is dirty and loses the view. And "Tree" in practice is not very resistant to our water temperatures, and varnish often seals and is sheal.
To run for 200 thousand Salon retains pristine silence only in the case of using a new original fastener with any work, neat fittings for maintaining and replacing the wear elements like seals. Abundance of large plastic details In the upholstery of the doors and especially the huge rear shelf, silence does not contribute at all.
On the picture: Interior Toyota. Camry Xle "2006-09 Typical misfortunes after a hundred and a half thousand runs are the symptoms of the glove box and the center console. IN specialized Services Such problems will be easily cured. There are still such unpleasant little things as a rattling of door handles, a steering shaft or a salon mirror. Detect them is not easy - the driver seems to be that the sound comes from somewhere from the right angle of the front panel or from under it, but it is difficult to localize the problem in place, and it does not work on the go.

The wide seats with such a mileage are noticeably deformed, and if the driver is heavy, then the driver's one and a half hundred thousand runs gets a frankly sympathetic appearance. Electrically regulators usually work reliably, but the contact of the driver's seat harness sometimes causes the pillow error. By the way, after 60-70 thousand runs, there is particularly strong "routing" drivers, such an effect and wear of the steering line gives, but more often it manifests itself to the buttons on it.

If the glass rises up, and then stubbornly drops to half, then in no hurry to eliminate the defect yourself - check with the dealer, does your car fall under the feedback. You can also get new rugs from the dealer and their new fixes in the framework of the same response campaign - the driver's rug can fix the gas pedal is pressed, which, of course, is very dangerous. Do not want to dealer? It is better to fasten the carpets better, and the plot has a gas pedal. Many non-original mats are still made on old templates and suffer from the same problem.

The list of problems is mainly "cosmetic" - can be considered exemplary behavior for the machine of this class. The quality of noise insulation and materials does not reach the standards given by the German "premium", but the level of comfort is more than sufficient, and all this is easily repaired, changes and serviced.
Electrician and electronics
If it were not for the generator, there would be no serious flaws. However, our and Japanese assembly machines have an overtaking coupling in the drive, which sometimes does not stand up and hundreds of thousands of run. Unpleasant noise when working and the flowing belt of the drive of additional aggregates is on its conscience. However, no one bothers to replace it with a whole pulley with american machines. The resource of the generator itself before replacing the brushes is usually about 150 thousand, but the operation is simple and inexpensive.

On machines with a motor 2.4, where 4-speed automatic transmission is installed, the selector failures occur, which refuses to switch. Most often, the problem is eliminated easily - its simple disassembly and cleaning or replacing the brake pedal sensor. Another option is to failure a lock motor that is triggered in the Parking position. If he stops working, you do not switch from "Parking". Motor cheaply replace, and especially economical owners simply remove the blocking pin.
There is no complaints on posting: it is extremely simple, and weak places almost no. It can only pull the trunk lid harness, all the rest of it holds perfectly. And also, if in the car, they could remove numerous points for fastening the internal harnesses to the body panels, which usually provokes the "corrugations" over time, and then the wires themselves.
An unpleasant feature of Camry is the open position of the ECU - the motor control unit. In the hijacking, this is the main drawback: it is literally replaced by "stitched" for thirty seconds, and the car leaves. In addition to replacing the block, there is another method with firmware of new keys - unfortunately, this is also a quick operation due to software vulnerabilities. So in addition to protection open space And the control unit itself is recommended to be removed from his regular place.
In the photo: Toyota Camry "2006-09 Of course, the heap of the alarms and immobilizers is the perpetual satellites Camry, which negatively affect the reliability of its electrical chains. When purchasing it is recommended to clarify whether there is a map of a variety of secrets at the owner, there is no ambushes like the ECU connector overpass to prevent its replacement and other points that may in the future sharply complicate the life of the new owner in the future.
What else?
It seems that everything is quite good: the electrician is very simple, the body is saved with dignity, except that the salon can pump up. And what about the main units? Tell. Oddly enough, Camry has a minimum of one serious underwater stone in the "face" of the motor 3.5.
Car Toyota Camry 40 in the CIS countries refers to the class of business machines. Americans consider Camry family middle class sedan.
The car is characterized by good dynamics, high reliability and large resource of the main nodes. Carry owners of Camry 40 comfortably feel both in a dense urban stream and on the track.
Years of the issue of Camry 40 and an overview of the main models
Toyota Camry 40 was first introduced to the public in 2006. In 2007 it began mass production. In 2011, Camry 50 came to shift, so the production of Camry 40 was completed.
For the CIS market, Toyota Camry 40 comes with two engines:
- 4-liter engine 2AZ-FE, with a capacity of 167 hp;
- power unit 2gr-Fe by 3.5 liters, with a capacity of 277 hp ..
The 2AZ-FE engine originates from a 2.2 liter 5s-based motor engine in 2000. The main problems of 2 4 liter engines are:
- increased vibration;
- breaking the thread in the block;
- low maintainability of the cylinder block.
Despite the shortcomings, the 2AZ-FE engine has a large resource. Motors are found, without problems with 350-400 thousand kilometers. The power unit is not inclined to coking. Motor oil consumption is small and connected mainly with the ventilation system carter gases and current seals. Therefore, the car owner should not forget about the control of rubber seals.
The 2GR-FE engine is the engine from the 2GR power line. It has six cylinders located in the form of the letter V. Its constructive solutions are borrowed from earlier 3MZ-Fe and 1GR motors. The power unit has the following disadvantages:
- Oil leak. The reason lies in the oil tube of the lubrication system. It is made using metal rubber-metal technology. Its rubber part over time is disturbing and gives leak. In 2010, the manufacturer took into account this drawback and replaced the tube for all-metal.
- VVTI System Phase Phase Course Create Sounds. It does not affect the resource, but can create discomfort to the driver.
- Floating revs idle move. The reasons for this set, but the most frequent problem is to clog the throttle.
- Zadira fifth cylinder. Associated with overheating or using low-viscosity oil.
- Leak pump. It occurs even with small runs.
The engine has cast iron sleeves. This allows you to do overhaul more acceptable at cost.
On the right-hand drive cars, Toyota Camry 40 is used by 2.5 liter 2Ar-Fe. Its main a distinctive feature is the presence of hydrotherapists. Officially, the CIS countries are not supplied to the CIS countries.
The 2AR-FE power unit began to be installed on Camry 40 since 2008. On its base, a 2AR-FX motor was designed for a hybrid version of the car.
Transmissions used on Camry 40
The main gear changes used on Camry 40 are shown in the table below.
| Model | Engine volume, l. | A type | Note |
| U250E. | 2.4 | machine | In the CIS countries, only 2.4 liters engines are used. |
| U250E. | 3.5 | machine | In the USA, Australia, the Philippines is used in conjunction with 3.5-liter engines. |
| E351 | 2.4 | mechanics | Only 2.4-liter version is completed in the CIS mechanics. |
| U660E. | 3.5 | machine | The only automatic transmission running with a 3.5-liter engine available in the CIS. |
| U760E. | 2.5 | machine | It is installed on a car with the right steering, released after restyling. |
| e-CVT P311 | 2.7 | variable speed drive | Applied only for hybrid toyota cars Camry 40 Hybrid. Sold in North America and in the domestic market in Japan. |
| U241E. | 2.4 | machine | All-wheel drive version for domestic market and North America. Not supplied officially in the CIS. |
The E351 manual box is characterized by high reliability. Children's diseases are absent in it, so this PPC was put on several generations of other Toyota cars. The design of E351 is completely classical, so there are no explicit flaws.
In the process of long-term operation, the PPC lever is observed. Kulisa when running more than 150 thousand has a backlash. There are copies of cars with curved levers and torn fixators of cables.
Five-speed automatic box Removed U250E transmissions is often applied with more powerful engines on other cars. This speaks of the high strength of the assembly. Working in a pair with a 2.4-liter engine, it has a resource comparable to the resource of the power unit. With timely replacement of oil, the U250E automatic transmission is capable of work without overhaul to 500-600 thousand km. In American Camry 40 it is also installed with a 3.5-liter motor. In this case, the ACPP resource is 250-300 thousand km.
In the CIS countries on a car with a V-shaped 3.5-liter motor, a six-speed automatic transmission U660E is completed. It has a lot of "childhood diseases", therefore it is extremely despicable in operation. Serious problems begin with a run from 100-120 thousand km.
Relief cars after restyling received the ACAP U760E. This is a refined U660E. Most of the problems managed to eliminate, but in reliability it does not reach U250E.
Hybrid cars did not go on sale in the CIS. Installed in them e-CVT variator P311. In addition to gasoline engine In the car there is an electric motor at 134 hp Toyota Camry Hybrid 40 is depicted in the photo below. The main disadvantage of the hybrid is the high cost on IWB.
The U241E automatic transmission is designed for all-wheel drive Toyota Camry 40. Behind it is taken reliable box U250E. Officially, on sale to the domestic car market has not been received, but if desired, it is possible to find such an instance.
Toyota Camry 40 Characteristics
The sizes and weight of Toyota Camry XV 40 are shown below in the pivot table.
TTX and dynamic characteristics, for example, maximum speed Led in the table below.
Most car sold cars have only front-wheel drive. Hybrid version never got widespread. Find a car in a body other than the sedan is practically no possible.
Price in the secondary market
The price on the secondary market is largely depends on the state of the car. Camry ACV 40 in a more or less suspension starts with 400 thousand rubles. As a rule, these are 2.4-liter versions of the car, in the configuration "Comfort". This is the most budget version from Toyota. Year of release from the cheapest Camry ADS 40 - 2007-2008.
Auto enough good condition have cost about 800 thousand rubles. However, it should be carefully diagnosed, since there is a risk to get on an instance, the main nodes of which are close to the offensive of the overhaul.
Auto latest years of release, as well as cars in the configuration "Suite" with a tree finish have a price from 1.2 million rubles.
How much is Camry 40, which was not officially sold officially in the CIS, largely depends on the country with which it was delivered, the exclusivity of the model and the state of the documentation. For many cars, for example, having four-wheel drive The price begins from 1.5 million rubles.
Toyota Camry 40 for the American Market
American and European have significant differences. The car for North America has the following advantages over the machines sold in Russia:
- the presence of a hatch;
- rear LED lights;
- sE with more comfortable front seats;
- high-quality staff acoustics;
- sE has a tougher suspension and better handling, since it is sharpened for a sports drive;
- the body is less damaged by corrosion;
- there are no problems with how to open the trunk from the inside;
- the ability to purchase a hybrid;
- 2.5 liter engine provides dynamic acceleration to 100;
- the best paint.
A car overview from the United States, suggests that there is not only differences in positive side. American has a number of shortcomings:
- low build quality;
- squeeze plastic salon;
- big sensitivity to fuel quality, except engines V6;
- bad chassis;
- more complex decryption of car production;
- big value.
Despite the differences, such specifications Like length, height, width, ground clearance And other overalls of American and auto, the country of origin of which is Japan, the same.
Toyota Camry 40 for the Arab Market
What is the difference between Arab and European, see the table below.
| Advantages of Araba | Disadvantages of Araba |
| Less corrosion. Especially noticeable comparing the bottom view | Bad plastic salon |
| There are exclusive chips | No backlight dashboard Optitron. |
| Moldings in the full package | Worse readable dashboard |
| Low dependence on gasoline quality | Less optimal automatic transmission control algorithm |
| Little cost | Soft running, which gets often a breakdown on bad roads |
| Many elements are borrowed from Camry 45 | Bad Salon Heating Stove |
| Variety of interior trim options | Weak generator |
| Good condition of paint and varnish | Poor equipment, due to GLX |
| Worst technical parameters |
Despite the fact that the difference between the car for the European, Arabic, American market is quite a large, unambiguous answer, which car does not exist.
All other things being equal, it is better to choose European Japanese production. At the same time, if the same cost can be purchased American in a richer configuration, the choice can be changed in its direction.
Arab version of car owners recommend buying only with a clearly good condition of the main nodes. A large number of small disadvantages and not the orientance of the car to the cold climate force most drivers to give up the purchase.
The feasibility of acquiring the former in the use of Camry 40
Toyota Camry 40 is a strong machine capable of listening for a long time. All its nodes and aggregates have a worthy resource.
Buy a car with real mileage up to 200 thousand kilometers. It is necessary to watch not only on the odometer, but also on the indirect signs of a big run.
If there is a mileage of more than 250 thousand kilometers, then the acquisition is better to refuse. The resource of most nodes is coming to an end and a new car owner expects many repairs. You can only buy such a car for low price And provided that the car passed everything on a branded maintenance station.
