Check out these reviews of the Camry, and then come to Brent Brown Toyota for your Salt Lake City car dealer! The Car Connection Loves the Interior “Inside is where the Camry comes alive…a very good appliance for car buyers who prefer substance over style.” The 2017 Toyota Camry is designed inside to give you all the room and comfort you need. The seats and interior panels have cutaways and contours that give you more lower-body room than ever before, while the headliner has been redesigned so even your tallest passengers won’t feel cramped. The interior design goes the extra mile with touches other car designers don’t even consider. Sport seats with side bolsters keep you secure and in place even during rapid acceleration or sharp curves. Camry engineers pinpointed every source of outside noise and loaded the Camry with sound-canceling technology to make your ride serene. Finally, the JBL GreenEdge stereo system includes a subwoofer and amplifier to bring you concert-quality sound. The Car Connection and Power “For the majority of people…the Camry meets their needs to perfection. …The impressive thrust from the V-6’s 268 horsepower is the Camry’s party trick.” The 2017 Toyota Camry comes with a choice of two gasoline engines, as well as an alternate hybrid trim. The basic 2.5L 4-cylinder engine produces 178 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque, getting up to 33 mpg highway. Opt for the 3.5L V6 engine, and you’ll find yourself with an incredible 268 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque with a fuel efficiency of up to 30 mpg highway. A recalibrated suspension system with Electronic Power Steering means you’ll get the precision of sport handling with the smooth ride of a luxury car, while the wider track makes it more agile and easy to control even at high speeds. Finally, you’ll see small design elements placed around the car as vortex generators, which help reduce turbulence and improve fuel efficiency and control. Edmunds Loves the Features “…overall we think the Camry deserves a look thanks to its overall level of refinement, features and comfort.” The 2017 Toyota Camry includes some of the most advanced features you’ll find on a car in this class. The Smart Key system with push button start lets you use a proximity key fob that you can stick in your bag or pocket and forget about; your Camry will automatically lock when you walk away, unlock when you draw near, and prime itself for starting with the push of a button when you’re in the car. Safety features like the Lane Departure Alert system let you know when you’re drifting via specialized radar cameras, keeping you in your lane and keeping other drivers safe. Finally, the Entune App Suite lets you sync up your mobile phone’s apps to your in-vehicle computer, while the Nav system with traffic uses real-time satellite information to bring you turn-by-turn directions, traffic and weather information for your major metropolitan area, and more.

The 2017 Toyota Camry LE The basic trim level comes in at an imminently affordable starting MSRP of *$23,070, but it still brings quite a bit to the table, showing that Toyota’s baseline is held to a much higher standard than other manufacturers. It comes with a standard backup camera, making parking and pulling out safer and easier.

The 2016 Toyota Prius is a truly amazing vehicle. While this vehicle boasts a new impressive design, energetic performance, and a variety of conveniences inside the cabin, what’s most impressive is the Prius mpg. This vehicle can travel 285,000 miles on one tank of gas, making it extremely impressive. Take a look at some of the things that are shorter than one tank of gas in the new Prius to prove just how far you can go on so little. 1. More than 700 Football Fields A football field is 100 yards, which is the equivalent of 360 feet. Since the Prius can travel more than 285,000 feet on one gallon of gas, that’s the equivalent of driving a football field more than 700 times or driving 700 football fields laid back to back. While most people would prefer to play football on a football field than drive a car, it just goes to show how impressive the mpg on this vehicle truly is. 2. Two Marathons People who run marathons are in shape, and it can often take them more than three hours to complete just one marathon. To prove just how impressive the 2016 Prius mpg is, you could handle two marathons on one tank of gas. Two marathons equals 276,870 feet, which gives you some wiggle room to keep going if you’d like. So whether you want to speed through the race to show everyone how powerful your vehicle is or if you’d rather pace and prove how versatile the vehicle can be on the Utah roads, you can do so with the Prius. 3. The Roe River—1,425 Times The Roe River is the shortest river in the United States, hailing in at only 200 feet. With more than 285,000 feet on one tank of gas, the 2016 Toyota Prius could travel the Roe River 1,425 times before needing to fill up. Now that’s impressive. 4. The Width of Rhode Island As the smallest state in the US, Rhode Island is only 37 miles wide. With a total mpg of 54, you could handle the width of Rhode Island with ease. Since it’s only 37 miles wide, you could almost get all the way back too. So if you ever need to travel through Rhode Island, the 2016 Toyota Prius will certainly get you the right amount of gas mileage for your entire trip. Choose Brent Brown Toyota If you want to experience the 2016 Toyota Prius mpg for yourself, head down to Brent Brown Toyota today. Our team will be happy to show you just how impressive this vehicle’s fuel economy is. Contact our dealership at 801.224.1320 to schedule your test drive today.
