Good to see the VVT-iW feature added to the iconic Camry V6 used throughout the Lexus and Toyota lineup for 2021. It switches between Otto and Atkinson cycles to lower emissions and increase mpg, about 4%-5%, while still making 301 hp/267 tq on Regular gas. No EPA estimates yet, but could be 26-27 mpg combined.
Hopefully the '21 8A/T has been tuned to behave in Sport mode, a real buzzkill on the otherwise impressive (for a grocery getter) '20 V6 I drove.
Toyota is cutting prices on many '21 Camry models, especially hybrids, while adding content. Why? Civic. Camry is currently behind in the car sales dominance race and had to react. If anyone is interested in a Camry (TRD is selling above plan and aftermarket LSD is available), there could be massive incentives in December.
