Used 2010 Toyota Camry for Sale nearDurham, NC

As America’s best-selling passenger car for seven years running, it’d be easy to assume that no changes were necessary for the Toyota Camry in 2010. Instead, Toyota saw fit to increase power and displacement on their base engine, add an extra gear to both of their base transmissions, and make subtle styling changes to the front end. The four-door, front-wheel-drive, midsize Camry gets a freshly designed grille and front bumper with a larger intake, larger headlamps, and redesigned taillamps. Additionally, all models receive new wheels or wheel covers, tying both ends together.

Replacing the outgoing 2.4-liter, 158-hp inline four is a 2.5-liter that first saw duty in the RAV4. Power increases to 169 hp for the Base, LE, and XLE trims, while the sportier SE trim gets 179 hp. Further, the five-speed transmissions have been dropped for a standard six-speed manual in the Base, LE, and SE trims, and a standard six-speed automatic in the XLE, with both transmissions available as options on all trims. This means an increase in fuel efficiency despite the power increase, to 22/32 mpg for the automatic and 22/33 for the manual.

A 3.5-liter V6 is available as on option on Base, LE, XLE, and SE trims. It produces 268 hp, comes with a six-speed automatic, and gets 19/28 mpg. The Hybrid trim comes with 2009’s 2.4-liter gas/electric hybrid engine, which qualifies the Camry as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV), one of only a few vehicles with that designation. EPA estimates for the Hybrid come in at 33/34. The Hybrid also receives a redesigned meter cluster and a new fabric for the upholstery, a combination of silk protein and synthetic fiber called Fraichir.

Also new for 2010 are standard Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control on all non-hybrid trims.
