    Toyota Camry Gets Improved AWD

    Though it seems that more and more people these days seem to flock towards the SUV class, the fine folks at Toyota understand there are a lot of car buyers who still prefer the traditional sedan. Though the numbers may bear that SUVs are still ebig, Toyota still has solid fan base for the Camry which is why Toyota is adding more technology to it in the coming year.

    When it comes time to buy a new car, most consumers look for the extra grip that is provided by fancy all-wheel-drive systems and thus will tend to buy the Toyota RAV4 or the Highlander. For those who donโ€™t want to purchase these SUVs, the Camry is getting an all-paw system which was formerly known as the all-trac system in the Camry from 1988 to 1991. All-wheel drive is currently an available option for the popular Toyota Prius.

    Umansky Toyota tells us that the Dynamic Torque Control AWD system which is developed by Toyotaโ€™s technology department and is derived from the RAV4. The system is going to be made exclusively available on U.S.-spec cars. Depending on the situation, the new hardware will send up to 50% of engine torque to the rear axle, which balances the front wheels if they happen to slip or smoothing departures from a stop. When all-wheel drive is not needed, the electromagnetic controlled coupling disengages the drive shaft from the differential. This allows for better fuel consumption. The all-wheel drive system is available with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine which pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

    Toyota claims that the Camry AWD was an all-American production lead by an engineering team at Toyota Motor North America Research and Development located in Saline, Michigan. Several modifications have happened to both sedans in the process including a revamped engine, transmission, transfer case and rear differential borrowed from the RAV4, the drive shaft from the new Highlander, a brand-new fuel tank, and floor structure modifications. All all-wheel-drive Camrys will get a cold weather package that comes standard. Features for the package include heated seats.

    Toyota claims that the all-wheel drive system has been fully engineered to engage instantly whenever necessary and will make the sedans about as practical as their front-wheel-drive counterparts as the trunk space and passenger space is about the same. The company has stated that youโ€™ll be able to purchase the Camry all-wheel drive in the spring of 2020.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
