Welcome the 2021 Toyota Camry to O'Fallon, IL

November 11, 2020 · 3 min read

It takes a lot of work to stay at the top of the food chain. But the Toyota Camry continues to be the gold standard for midsize cars in St. Louis. Not only does it provide a sophisticated driving experience inside and out, but it also continues to excel with every passing year. Now that we have approached the 2021 model year, it is time to see what this spectacular sedan has in store for the new year. With a car like the Toyota Camry, you know what you are going to get. Advanced technology and the Toyota Safety Sense system come standard. As does the impressive performance and driving experience as you take on the daily rigors of the Shiloh, IL commute. But the 2021 Toyota Camry does have some surprises in store for Edwardsville drivers. One difference is the trim lineup. Gone is the base L model. Now you start with more standard features with the new-base Camry LE.

Updated Look and Design

The Toyota Camry gets some slight but significant changes to its appearance for the new year. The LE gets a fresh set of wheels, riding on new 17-inch versions. The XLE is the next level up, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels. The front fascia gets a mild facelift to differentiate the trims from each other, so each has their style and personality. The sportier SE and XSE trims have their front bumpers tailored and feature a new honeycomb grille.

All-New Safety Suite Debuts

Toyota already offers peace-of-mind with the exceptional Toyota Safety Sense system. But it goes the extra mile with the latest version of this spectacular package. The Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ makes its debut on the 2021 Toyota Camry. It provides enhanced technology, like a pre-collision system that now detects things like bike riders and pedestrians, even in low light situations. Adaptive cruise control has been added to make your drive to work in Highland easier for your gas pedal.

New Trim Added to Hybrid Lineup

What do you get when you combine the efficiency of the Toyota Camry Hybrid with a sporty attitude? You get the all-new Camry XSE Hybrid. An idea so simple, you can't believe it didn't happen sooner. It brings you the fresh new look, as well as the sport-tuned features of the XSE, and combines them with the hybrid powertrain for a remarkably athletic drive through Belleville, IL. A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motor combine to provide 208 horsepower.

Infotainment Upgrades

The Toyota Camry is the belle of the ball because of its extensive list of standard equipment. You can add one more item to the list: Android Auto. Now every Toyota Camry can effortlessly sync up to your Android device so you can fully enjoy your favorite songs and apps. Fans of the Camry will notice a drastic change in the positions of the infotainment display. Now, instead of being anchored to the dash, it shows off a more sophisticated floating appearance. Take your pick between the seven-inch version or the upgraded nine-inch infotainment touchscreen, and make your drive easier. You don't get to the top by resting on your laurels. The 2021 Toyota Camry shows it is not opposed to hard work and self-improvement with the additions and enhancements it has made for the new year.

Towing and Hauling with Confidence: The Toyota Tacoma's Utility

The Toyota Tacoma has long remained one of the country's most popular midsize pickup trucks. Many drivers have come to love its multipurpose design. Whether you need a reliable workhorse or a seriously capable recreational vehicle, you can count on the new Tacoma. Excellent towing and hauling capabilities further highlight the Tacoma's versatility. Towing and Payload Capacity The Toyota Tacoma gives you two bulletproof engines to choose from. A 2.7-liter, four-cylinder engine comes standard. It develops a competitive 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque, thus enabling you to tow up to 3,500 pounds. You can also take advantage of the pickup truck's 1,685-pound maximum payload capacity. Towing Features When behind the wheel of the Toyota Tacoma, you can trust its modern towing features to boost your confidence. With the truck's available Tow Package comes Trailer-Sway Control. In the event that your load begins to shift or the wind kicks up, this feature effectively applies brake pressure at individual wheels and manages engine torque. You'll appreciate the enhanced stability. If you are towing heavier cargo, underhood temperatures can rise. To help prevent overheating, Toyota offers the Tacoma with a beefed-up cooling system. An engine oil cooler, a power steering cooler, and a transmission fluid cooler help protect your pickup's critical components. Another important upgrade is the Tacoma's available class IV towing receiver hitch. This feature is perfect for drivers transporting hefty items, such as boats and heavy-duty equipment. It evenly distributes the added weight. Off-Road Features If you are passionate about outdoor adventure, the Toyota Tacoma will exceed your expectations.

Remember, there are even more upgrades available. Designed with five low-speed settings, Crawl Control helps you safely navigate more challenging terrain by automatically modulating the throttle and brakes. Meanwhile, high-performance Bilstein shocks help absorb the impacts of the trail.
