Toyota to show special editions of Camry, Corolla in Chicago

(February 6, 2015) CHICAGO — The Toyota’s Camry mid-size sedan and the Corolla compact sedan will debut special edition models at next week’s Chicago Auto Show. The debuts will be part of a press conference that will also feature a refreshed Avalon sedan.
 
When redesigning the Camry for 2015, Toyota went bumper to bumper and floor to roof, changing or re-engineering nearly 2,000 parts.

Only the roof remained unchanged, and it capped off what Toyota calls the boldest Camry ever. Now, only one year after this major redesign Toyota will offer the 2016 Camry Special Edition for owner’s looking for an extra dose of both aggressiveness and technology.

Based on the youthful Camry SE, the limited production Camry will add sporty interior and exterior features.  In addition to features found on the Camry SE, standard equipment on the Special Edition will include unique 18-inch alloy wheels with machined face contrasted with gloss black painted accents, a smoked tail lamp treatment, high contrast blue stitching on the seats, shift boot, and dash, and exclusive sport appearance seats trimmed with black SofTex bolsters and blue patterned inserts.

The Camry Special Edition will be powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Production of the Camry Special Edition will be limited to approximately 12,000 units and will run from August to January 2016.
 
The iconic Toyota Corolla with its all-new 11th generation introduced in 2014, will add more driving excitement with the introduction of the 2016 Corolla Special Edition. Sporty styling features, inside and out, complement steering wheel paddle shifters, rear disc brakes and Sport Driving Mode along with an array of additional standard features.  

Based on the sporty Corolla S Plus grade, the 2016 Corolla Special Edition adds unique 17-inch alloy wheels with gloss black finish, black interior with red contrast stitching, and red accented dash and door trim.

The Corolla Special Edition will be produced between August and December and will be limited to 8,000 units.
