Camry and Avalon get the TRD treatment

Toyota is once again bringing its racing pedigree to the road as it unveils the Camry TRD and Avalon TRD, two sedans with an appetite for curves and a distinct exhaust note bristling with attitude.

With aero-enhanced styling by Calty, Toyota’s U.S. design studio, and chassis performance fortified by Toyota Racing Development (TRD), these revved-up Camry and Avalon models are the tracktuned sedans that enthusiasts have been asking about.

The new Camry TRD and Avalon TRD embody TRD’s holistic approach to vehicle enhancement.

Notably, both are powered by Toyota’s 301 hp DOHC 3.5-litre V6 and eight-speed automatic transmission with sport mode and paddle shifters.

The V6 breathes easier with a specially-tuned cat-back dual exhaust, giving both models a throatier idle and acceleration sound.

The aerodynamic body kit, which includes the front splitter, side aero skirts, trunk lid spoiler, and rear diffuser, blends a bold styling element and improves high-speed vehicle stability to aid in driver confidence.

Add that with the red pin striping, red painted brake calipers, and red TRD badging and both sedans have a road-hungry look.

Both models will come standard with Toyota Safety Sense-P, a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies. Among these is PreCollision Braking.

Toyota has announced the first-ever Camry TRD (shown) and Avalon TRD with a host of performance extras such as track-tuned suspension.
