Toyota forty. Second hands: Camry XV40 – choose the right one. Brakes, suspension and steering

Business sedan Toyota Camry The fourth generation (XV40) officially debuted at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2006. Three years later, the car underwent a slight restyling, consisting mainly of cosmetic improvements to the body design and some innovations in the interior, after which it was produced unchanged until 2011 - that’s when the next generation model was presented.

Strict streamlined lines, a “good-natured” full face and a swift profile - the Toyota Camry looks very attractive, but it certainly won’t stand out in the crowd. A high bumper in tandem with narrow headlights adds an intriguing look to the car, and the rear is perceived as somewhat heavy, although the rounded shapes noticeably conceal the actual dimensions of the body.

The 4th generation Camry belongs to the E-class according to European standards: 4815 mm in length, 1480 mm in height and 1820 mm in width. Wheelbase, equal to 2775 mm, provides a large amount of space for passengers, and ground clearance 160 mm is well suited for Russian roads.

The interior of the Toyota Camry fully corresponds to the rank of the car - successful architecture, modern design and high-quality workmanship. The large steering wheel with a thin rim is truly multifunctional: it contains audio system control buttons, trip computer, temperature adjustments, etc. The instrument panel is represented by large “saucers” with a screen in the center of the speedometer field. The center console has a solid appearance and a convenient location of all organs: at the top there is a color display of the multimedia complex (in the available versions there is a simpler audio system), and just below is the air conditioning unit.

The interior of the Japanese sedan is finished with high-quality materials, including soft plastics, diluted with silver metal and wood inserts, as well as genuine leather, which is used in the “top” versions of the seats.

The “residential area” of the Toyota Camry “in the 40 body” meets business class standards. The front seats of the car are roomy and hospitable to riders of any size, endowed with a huge range of adjustments (254-260 mm), but lack lateral support. The rear sofa is suitable for three passengers: the filling is soft, its shapelessness allows you to sit with maximum comfort, and there is as much space in all directions as is necessary by the standards of the segment.

The “fortieth Camry” has 535 liters allocated for luggage. The shape of the cargo compartment is far from ideal - the walls narrow in the depths, and there are a lot of unnecessary corners, although a full-size spare tire is hidden in its underground. The rear seat folds (in expensive versions in a ratio of 40:20:40, and in affordable ones - 60:40), increasing the car’s ability to transport luggage.

Specifications. On Russian market The “fourth” Toyota Camry was offered with two engines that meet Euro-4 environmental standards.
As a base, the sedan was equipped with a four-cylinder VVT-i unit with a volume of 2.4 liters, which produces a maximum of 167 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 224 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. Reserved for him five-speed gearboxes transmissions – “automatic” and “mechanical”, providing the car with acceleration to the first hundred in 9.1-9.3 seconds, a peak speed of 205-210 km/h and average fuel consumption in mixed mode at the level of 8.5-9.9 liters.
The “top” option is the 3.5-liter V-shaped “six” Dual VVT-i, representing the 2GR-FE family, with a pair of camshafts and dual variable valve timing technology. Its capabilities are as follows: 277 “horses” at 6200 rpm and 346 Nm of torque at 4700 rpm. The connection with the engine is formed by a non-alternative six-speed automatic transmission. After 6.8 seconds, the Camry sets off to conquer the second hundred, reaching a maximum of 230 km/h, while “eating” 9.9 liters of gasoline in the combined cycle.

The Toyota Camry XV40 is based on the Toyota K architecture with independent suspensions(on springs, with MacPherson struts) on each axle. The car is equipped with brake discs on all wheels with ABS, EBS, emergency brake assist and electronic brake force distribution technology. The steering mechanism of the Japanese sedan “shows off” power steering.

The three-volume Camry XV40 has a solid appearance, high quality workmanship, reliable design, rich equipment and inexpensive maintenance. Disadvantages include not best-in-class sound insulation and weak brakes for such a large model.

Prices. In 2015, purchase the “fourth” Toyota Camry at secondary market Russia can be priced from 700,000 to 1,000,000 rubles - the final cost depends on technical condition, level of equipment and year of production.
If we talk about trim levels, even the most “empty” sedan has a set of airbags (front and side), dual-zone climate control, fog lights, heated front seats, power accessories, standard “music”, power steering and on-board computer.

The legendary car of Japanese manufacturers, Toyota Camry 40, is considered among Russian car enthusiasts to be the most reliable and sought-after car. Even with high mileage The car does not require any special expenses and can be easily repaired; it pleases its owners with excellent suspension and durability of the power unit.

Vehicle configuration

It is a mistake to consider the Toyota Camry B40 a business-class car; rather, it belongs to large family sedans. The roads of our country are plied by such cars with 2.4-liter engines or 3.5-liter V6 engines. Manufacturers presented five trim levels for Russian motorists:

1. comfort - the most budget version, 2.4 liter engine with five-speed manual, there is a climate control system and heated two front seats, a car radio and halogen headlights;
2. comfort Plus - automatic transmission with 5 ranges and headlight washing system;
3. elegance - this version with a leather interior, equipped with parking devices and electrically adjustable seats in the front, looks quite decent;
4. prestige - a version that includes a 167-horsepower 2.4-liter engine, maximum stuffing, complemented by a stability control system, cruise control and xenon headlights. Safely combines a relatively low road tax and a luxurious, comfortable interior;
5. luxury - a configuration option equipped with a powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The interior trim is complemented by some details that give it gloss and presentability - wood-effect trim on the steering wheel and automatic transmission selector, curtain on rear window, protecting from sunlight and adjustable tilt of parts of the rear passenger seat.

Features of the car in the 40th body

Restyling of the Toyota Camry SV40 took place in mid-2009, then the shape of the front bumper changed and the radiator trim was slightly narrowed. The appearance was decorated with turn signal indicators built into the back of the side-view mirrors. Camry V40, the photo of which is located below, is a pre-restyling model.

The interior of the cabin has become somewhat different due to the color of the center console; the bluish plastic on it was changed to silver. The monochrome screen of the car radio head unit was replaced with a color display. The post-restyling car, together with the new body brand, received the designation Toyota Camry ACV40. This is a photo of the car after restyling.

We must pay tribute to Japanese manufacturers, weak points There are practically no Toyota Camrys in the 40th body. Of course, the thin paintwork of the body loses its shine due to frequent washing, but rust does not break through anywhere, even in places of chips and minor damage. After two years of operation in Russia, the chrome parts will begin to bloom with rust, but only because of our public utilities, which generously water the roads with caustic chemicals. The activity of utility workers is manifested in the swelling of the coating on the windshield wipers and the appearance of cracks in the decorative trim near the trunk lid.

Even on the pre-restyling SV40, the weakest link was considered to be the lower part of the bumper, which cracked at the slightest contact with the road surface, and the owner had to solve this problem himself.

On the Camry SV40, the headlight washer nozzles often failed for a simple reason: they became clogged with dirt and the fluid did not flow through; in this case, thorough cleaning and blowing of the nozzles helped.

Troubles awaiting you in the salon

In the interior of the SV40 body, after 20 thousand mileage, the fabric upholstery became thinner and began to shine, and by that time the leather covering was covered with small cracks. Over the course of about two years, the covering of the buttons peeled off and the steering wheel and gear selector began to become very shiny. After restyling the Toyota Camry ACV40, the quality of the coating has improved and it lasts longer.

After a relatively short time, creaks are heard inside the cabin and “crickets” appear - they populate the front panel, center console, hatch mechanism and armrest of far from old cars and it is useless to fight them. Try to clean the Toyota Camry ACV40 air conditioning system and drain pipe annually to prevent the smell of swamp rot from appearing in the cabin. At the latest, after five years of active operation of the air conditioner, if white flakes appear on the front panel, you will have to replace the aluminum evaporator of the air conditioning system with a copper one.

Features of transmission and engine operation

The manual transmission in the SV body on the Camry 40 is a reliable and durable unit, but sometimes premature wear occurs release bearing clutch after running 40 thousand kilometers. When the mileage exceeds 80 thousand, it will begin to change gears with difficulty, which means it’s time to change the driven clutch disc.

The automatic transmission of the Camry 40 on the 2AZ-FE “four” is also reliable, except for minor troubles with the limit switch under the brake pedal - if it fails, the gear selector does not shift. After a long period of seven years, the contact in the electronic control unit of the automatic transmission may disappear; the fault can be eliminated by properly soldering the connections.

The automatic transmission on the Toyota Camry ACV40 with a V6 engine requires compliance with the oil change schedule, but racing in forced modes will lead to rapid failure of the clutches and clogging of the channels of the hydraulic unit with wear particles.

On the Toyota Camry V40, the 2.4-liter engine is afraid of overheating and requires timely cleaning of its radiator and air conditioner - this must be done once every two years, otherwise the cylinder head will be hopelessly damaged. On this engine, if traces of antifreeze are visible near the pump and its operation is accompanied by extraneous sounds– change this unit immediately.

Both engines operated on the Camry 40 require only synthetics, otherwise its clutch will refuse to work in the VVT-i system, and if you neglect to clean the unit throttle valves After a certain time, replacing it will cost $900. Refueling with low-quality fuel will easily damage an expensive oxygen sensor.

On a Toyota Camry V40, the 3.5-liter engine can jam due to a leaky oil cooler hose, and previously this was an irreparable problem; after restyling, this was corrected by replacing the hose with a metal tube.

There are no complaints about the suspension and chassis of the Camry 40: and compliance with the deadlines for replacing consumable components and parts will significantly extend their service life. The Camry V40 photo you see below is a 2011 model.

Conclusion

The Toyota Camry V40 is indeed a very reliable car; thanks to the talents of Japanese engineers and designers, a wonderful and relatively inexpensive car, delighting car enthusiasts with its soft ride and comfortable conditions. Do you like the Toyota Camry ACV40? We are waiting for your comments.

White Toyota Camry 40 on photo review

Despite the wild popularity of the Toyota Camry 40 - the “magpie”, which is known to everyone, from children to specialists working in the automotive industry, there are models that few people know about yet - this is the Toyota Camry 40 with a hybrid drive. It turns out that there is not only a Toyota Prius hybrid! When did the “hybrid” manage to move into the “magpie”?

You can recognize a Toyota Camry 40 hybrid in a car if you look closely at the optics - they have a bluish tint. Moreover, the nameplate on the front wings gives it away. The design of the bumpers has also changed and LEDs have appeared in the side lights and stop lights. In addition, the flashlight section has become larger than in conventional Toyotas. reverse. There is another difference, but to notice it, you need to look under the car: in the area of ​​the rear axle, an additional aerodynamic panel of the gas tank fairing is noticeable.

The headlight lenses are plastic, but over time they take on a somewhat unsightly appearance.

Once in the cabin, not everyone will notice the difference between the regular and hybrid Toyota Camry 40. The driver will immediately notice the economizer installed instead of the tachometer, and the information display, in the menu of which an energy distribution diagram has appeared. The same thing, only more colorful and detailed, is displayed on the large multimedia screen, which is located on the center console (the display in the driver's panel is monochrome).

The Toyota interior itself has hardly changed. It is almost the same as in the regular Camry 40, with very minor differences.

Virtual overview of the Toyota Camry 40 interior

To some extent, the multimedia system also proves that you are not driving an ordinary Camryuha: the standard car has a disc radio with a simple and narrow display, and the Toyota Camry 40 hybrid has a sophisticated one, which was developed together with JBL. All additional electronics are also controlled via the touch screen.

There are many useful buttons on the steering wheel of the Toyota Camry 40, including control of the climate control system.

There are still differences, but only an experienced eye can see them. First of all, this is the ventilation mesh sticking out from behind the rear sofa. It is used in Toyota hybrids to cool the battery.

The interior, of course, as in any hybrid, is calm and quiet. The fact that the Toyota Camry 40 started up, or rather turned on, can only be judged by the revived dashboard and a barely noticeable READY inscription. Options include: climate control and cruise control, power mirrors and keyless entry, illuminated sun visors with mirrors, adjustable steering column and seats, power windows and remote trunk opening for the Camry 40.

Rushing along city roads, the Toyota Camry 40 quickly gets lost among the cars, but at the same time it consumes much less fuel. When you press down on the gas pedal, which would be more correctly called the drive pedal, you probably notice a slight vibration on the steering wheel. Then everything is the same as in a regular car, except that the movement is softer, easier to control and much quieter. As for the control of the Toyota Camry 40, thanks to the electric booster, it is very easy - turning the steering wheel is a pleasure. The brakes, like in the Toyota Prius, have recuperation, but the dynamics are clearly at their best, thanks to the total power of the electric motor and 2.4 liter gasoline engine, which is 192 hp.

It is interesting that the predecessor and Toyota Camry 40 have a 2.4 engine, but in the hybrid version it operates on a non-traditional cycle, i.e. according to Atkinson and according to the Otto cycle. What does this give? It reduces fuel consumption due to a modified design of the piston mechanism and changes in valve operation. Therefore, despite the same displacement and number of cylinders, the hybrid’s consumption is slightly lower, as well as the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere, than it could even be, but it is a little weaker, although the driver of the Toyota hybrid will not feel a loss of strength thanks to the electric motor.

CVT

The Toyota Camry 40 transmission also plays an important role in the excellent dynamics, since instead of a five-speed automatic, this model has a CVT, which helps the car be temperamental. It is clear that the Toyota Camry 40 hybrid has not reached the level of a rocket, and there are moments when the car “falls asleep” (moves on electric power), but when the gasoline engine is turned on, the variator shows its best side. It, unlike a regular car with mode D, has an additional one - mode B, used to brake with traction, since when the Toyota is coasting, the main engine can turn off and you can slow down only with the help of the brakes, but on steep descents they will not last long and will burn . And in mode B the motor does not turn off. In winter, when there is a need for delicate braking, this mode also helps out.

The battery in the Toyota Camry 40 hybrid is hidden under a convex fleecy casing in the trunk, which, of course, slightly reduces its volume, but has a positive effect on efficiency. In addition, against the backdrop of all the advantages of the car, the trunk volume is a mere trifle.

Conclusion. Undoubtedly, the Toyota Camry 40 hybrid is better than the previous version of Camry both at traffic light races and in terms of battery life (the same one in the trunk). It is clear that someday she will sit down, the only question is when?

In a word, the Camry 40 car can be called the most reliable in the current millennium. In addition, the designers are aware of the shortcomings of their hybrid and the competition, so the problems are being solved and will be solved.

The Toyota Camry 40 is a competitive car that has proven that efficiency and driving pleasure are not mutually exclusive concepts.

Specifications

It only remains to add that all parts (except the roof) are made of sheet metal (and there are more than 2000 of them).

The fuel consumption of a Toyota hybrid is less than the non-hybrid version by 1.4 liters per hundred kilometers and is equal to in the city 5.5 l. And beyond that – 6.2 liters, 5.7 when driving in mixed mode. Well, the acceleration is much faster in the Camry 40 hybrid.

Motor power gasoline Toyota Camry 40, which is located in the front, 147 hp, plus electric motors. The power of the front one is 187 kW, and the additional power is 40 kW. Total power is 200 hp, since motors achieve maximum power in different operating states. Why not speed up? The nickel metal hydride battery stored in the depths has a maximum power of 6.5 Ah and is replenished using a generator and regenerative propulsion. New model weighs 1600 kilograms, and its dimensions (length, width and height) correspond to the numbers: 4806, 1821 and 1471 cm. Toyota’s ground clearance and wheelbase are 140 mm and 2776 mm.

The volume of the gasoline engine of the five-seater Camry sedan is 40 - 2400 cm3, the number of doors is four, the rear and front brakes are ventilated discs. Drive – front-wheel drive, transmission – variator,

Safety

Safety is also not forgotten: For the driver and passengers, the Toyota Camry 40 has airbags (there are ten in total), an emergency braking system, directional stability and anti-lock braking systems. The audio system is represented by six speakers, and to prevent intruders from using the Toyota car, an alarm and immobilizer, emergency trunk opening and automatically adjustable headlights are provided. For the safety of children, the rear doors of the Camry 40 have locking locks.

At the turn of the millennium, the concept of business class cars has changed significantly, or rather, expanded. A separate class D+ appeared, and, not only in the American classification, but also in the world, the E-class expanded. At the same time, cars of this rank were bought for a variety of purposes: from serving the interests of deputies and officials to personal use by fairly wealthy citizens.

But one of the most popular cars in this class has always been the Toyota Camry in the XV40 body, that is, in the 6th generation of this model. It’s interesting that this car can safely be called Russian, and not even because it constantly appeared in government procurement and transported government officials Russian Federation, but also because Japanese company opened a plant in the St. Petersburg area, that is, from the point of view of localization, this car is truly Russian.

Reasons for popularity

It's worth noting that Camry's popularity is not that easy to explain. It does not stand out with its magnificent interior or exterior; it can hardly be called a speed queen; in terms of technical characteristics, everything is also quite ordinary. The secret of the success of the Toyota Camry is that the car represents a kind of “golden mean”: the design is quite calm, the car itself is unusually reliable, there are no overtly simple configurations, and the level of comfort is quite acceptable even for government officials. In addition, government procurement and localization of production helped. It is not surprising that even now many people are trying to buy this particular car, despite the fact that it costs much more than cars of the same price and level of comfort.

Even if we compare the Toyota Camry with the Mercedes 211, which initially seems to be a definite disadvantage for the “Japanese”, then everything is not so simple here. Considering how much you will have to spend on servicing a ten-year-old “German”, it is much more reasonable to drive a problem-free Toyota Camry of the same years, although you will initially have to pay more for it. This car is truly successful, reliable and economical to maintain, which has become the main reasons for its wide distribution in Russia and popularity these days.

Body

Toyota Camry boasts one of the best anti-corrosion treatments in its class, so even ten-year-old cars are well protected from rust; the areas where it spreads are extremely small. Occasionally they only complain about swelling of the paint, but this is a problem of a much smaller caliber. Corrosion is often noticed on subframes, so when choosing a car, don’t forget to look there.

Traditionally problematic for used cars, the arches of the Toyota Camry, due to its relatively small age, rarely cause waste and worry for the owner. However, if the car has been poorly cared for, then there may well be questions about this part of the car, despite its “young” age. A careless attitude and bad roads can ruin any car!

The paint itself is not the best, which can be understood by looking at the bumper of a car after 5-7 years of use. But this problem is not too difficult to eliminate with the help of special treatment with protective elements or the application of ceramics. And excellent dealer service, a large number of offers for car painting allow any caring owner to forget about this problem.

In general, Toyota Camry stands out in excellent condition among its “peers”. In those days, they didn’t save on anti-corrosion coating as much as they do today, so this car is still quite comparable in condition to new cars, if, of course, it was looked after.

In terms of the exterior, you can only find fault with the purely decorative elements. Thus, chrome parts quickly lose their shine, which is why the car looks less elegant, and fasteners often peel off and rust. Also, the disadvantages of the body include the lower part of the bumper, which is clearly not durable, so any physical contact with a solid body can be fatal for it.

Later restyling will solve this problem, but in this body Unfortunately, it is present, which drivers should not forget about, because repairs will cost no less than 50 thousand rubles. With a fairly high mileage, the following problems are also observed: the glass gets rubbed, headlight reflectors usually burn out, door handles often lose their original appearance and may not work correctly.

All the shortcomings we have named cannot be compared with many other models, which is why the body can only be called strong point Toyota Camry. A used car looks quite presentable and does not require any investment for cosmetic work.

Salon

Inside of this car everything is fine, but only at first glance. There are some disadvantages here, namely: best quality finishing materials, peeling varnish, wood styling quickly loses its appearance, the leather wrinkles. After a couple of hundred thousand miles traveled, the interior of a Toyota Camry can still remain silent, but only if the car has been properly maintained and original fasteners have been used. Of course, the center console and small drawers begin to creak, the steering wheel rattles, as well as the door handles. Fortunately, any of these problems only concern big lovers of silence, and you can get rid of them without problems in any service for a small fee and in the shortest possible time.

There are practically no questions about the electronics; they are reliable and relatively modern. Questions arise only with regard to the electric window lifter, because of which the cars were even recalled from sale. Therefore, if you have a problem with the glass, then perhaps dealers will replace this electronics for you. You can also count on replacing the mats and their fasteners, since some of them simply pressed on the gas pedal. In general, electronics are fine. But the seats, largely due to their size, can look unpresentable, especially if the driver is quite massive and has traveled frequently.

Electronics

There are also few problems with the electronics in the car; the weak point can only be called the generator, or more precisely, the overrunning clutch on it, which can cause noise and other problems even with a relatively low mileage. The problem is solved by installing a solid pulley from the “Americans”. The wiring here is extremely simple and reliable, the wires practically do not fray.

Toyota Camry with a 2.4 engine is equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission, which at times may not shift due to selector glitches. This can be corrected by simple disassembly and lubrication, and installation of a new brake sensor. The locking motor may also not work correctly, but replacing it is inexpensive, or you can simply remove the locking pin.

A weak point from an electronics point of view can also be called the ECU anti-theft system, which is responsible for blocking the engine when the car is stolen. It is open, so it is not difficult for hijackers to hack it. So it’s worth considering additional protective measures! At the same time, the car has an immobilizer and alarm system, which adds to its complexity in terms of electronics.

Brakes, suspension and steering

The brake system, with proper care and lubrication of the calipers, does not cause any complaints and works perfectly even with high mileage. But a lot depends on the engine. With a 3.5 liter engine, which is literally created for aggressive driving, the pads will not last long. The weak point can be called the handbrake, but for cars with an automatic transmission it is simply practically useless, therefore, if the braking force is insufficient, it is usually not even replaced or repaired, which is understandable.

In terms of suspension, the Toyota Camry evokes only positive emotions, because it is beautifully made. With a significant mileage, it is worth changing only the supports, and even then, rather, for comfort. The disadvantage is the regular need for wheel alignment. There are also some problems that are standard for a used car, which you can fix quickly and without significant expense.

There are also few problems with the steering column. It starts to knock at high mileage, and the oil is well sealed and rarely leaks. Failures with steering position sensors do occur, which can cause electronic problems, but this is a rare occurrence.

Transmission

Mechanical cars have the classic and proven E351 installed, which does not cause any complaints and is reliable. Problems include only the condition of the CV joints and the possibility of leaks. Also, due to long-term use, the shift lever becomes loose, and the rocker is not stable. It is advisable to change the drive cables after 200 thousand, so as not to completely tear them off the clamps.

“Automatic machines”, of which the majority are represented, are represented by Aisin U250E, U660E, U760E; other variations, although they exist, were extremely rare in Russia. It is the first option listed that is the most common, especially for cars with a 2.4-liter engine. With proper care, this box will practically last forever! But, if you use the Camry as a racing car, then problems will arise very soon. Fortunately, it is not difficult to solve them due to the prevalence of the U250E, which has enabled many service centers to become proficient in their repair.

The U660E is not as reliable and has typical problems for many machines: solenoids, linings, drum and plate wear out, temperature sensors fail, minor malfunctions occur. Also common is the wear of the back cover, which causes the C1-C2 packages to light up. Be careful of the main housing bearing, which may become loose, causing the entire system to be replaced later. On the U760E, many of these problems were solved, making this box ideal for 3.5 liter engines.

Engines

In terms of engines, everything is also extremely reliable and simple. The 2.4-liter is usually 2AZ-FE, the only “disease” of which can be called oil leakage, so inspection must be carried out regularly to prevent oiling. This engine has a really long service life; don’t be surprised if it works fine even after a mileage of half a million kilometers. The main thing is to keep an eye on him! The timing chain is also durable, and replacing it will not cost much. Weak points include the catalyst on the engine, as well as a pump with a short resource.

The 3.5-liter engine has almost the same problems as the 2AZ-FE, only the timing is weaker. Leaks also often appear on typical places. Due to a not very powerful cooling system, problems may arise with the fifth cylinder. This is quite serious and expensive to repair, but the problem is not very common. The six-cylinder engine is similar in terms of weak points to the 5-cylinder.

Conclusion

Overall, Camry will be excellent option shopping for those who are looking for a “golden mean”. There is no divine comfort, exorbitant speeds or luxurious appearance, but the whole model as a whole is simply excellent!

In 2006, Toyota Motor Corporation released the sixth generation of the Toyota Camry business class car. The car was created based on the new Vibrant Clarity design philosophy and advanced technology power plant HSD (Hybrid Synergy Drive) is available in R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 trim levels.
