Toyota Aurion
The Toyota Aurion (pronounced or-ree-on) is a mid-size car produced by Toyota in Australia and parts of Asia since 2006. The Aurion is essentially a sixth generation Toyota Camry with revised front- and rear-end treatment, along with changes to the interior.The Camry-based Aurion is also sold in the majority of East and Southeast Asia as the Toyota Camry, with the original version of the Camry sold alongside the Aurion in the Middle East and Australasia (Australasia being Australia and New Zealand). In the previous two markets, the car replaces the Avalon model, which can trace its roots back to the early 1990s.
In the Middle Eastern and Australasian regions, to further differentiate the Aurion from its Camry sibling, Toyota equips the former exclusively with a 3.5 litre V6 engine engine. With the Toyota Camry however, only the 2.4 litre four-cylinder model is offered.Previously in these markets, prior to the introduction of the sixth generation Camry, Toyota had offered both four- and a six-cylinder powerplants.Along with the naturally-aspirated version, Toyota also produces an Australia-only supercharged TRD variant, claimed to be the world's most powerful front-wheel drive car.
The powertrains used in the Asian specification Camry vary slightly from those of the Aurion. As well as the 3.5 litre V6, two four-cylinder engines are offered in either 2.0 litre or a 2.4 litre form. These engines are mated with a six-, four- and five-speed automatic transmissions respectively.
