Both models also feature attractive wheel designs – 19-inches for the SX and 18-inches for the SL here. SX and SL Camry tail lights also have little aerodynamic details that curve out and down, which echo the shape of the Lexus LC coupe’s tail lights. That includes a completely different and more aggressive grille and front bumper, with gloss-black mesh inserts and a prominent body-colour dividing line.
With the latest Camry, however, there’s clear differentiation in higher grades from the base Ascent. Past high-spec Camrys have looked like regular Camrys with stuff stuck on – like the old Sportivos – or haven’t looked much different from lower-spec models.
Most importantly, the latest Camry looks like it was designed first as a sporty SX or luxurious SL.
