I was told towards end of this year apple car play update would be available. How do you find the power in the SL?

Thanks @Davo’sCamry, good to hear you like the SL hybrid. Think that is the way to go. I noticed the same thing with the sensors when I test drove them, the sales man had to get out to check the front for me!

I'd be very interested in getting Apple Car Play on mine, I very nearly didn't buy the Camry because it didn't have that - glad I did buy though as the car is excellent in every other way and I figured they would make it available later.

Do you have an approximate time frame for it?

Thanks. 👍

Hi Davo, they only said towards the end of 2019. So not that long to wait. Which Camry do you have? 

I know, bit strange why they do that. I might even check out the new rav4.

I test drive a little cerato GT awhile ago and agree it felt good. But they put a fake engine noise in the cabin which wasn’t very pleasant. 

Not sure, I reckon around $500

The SL has blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and heads up display. Also has cooling front seats and front drivers seat memory - 2 memory settings. Think that is the main different, plus SL has moonroof. 

Thanks ZZT86. I’ve driven them both and both feel really nice. Hybrid CVT is a bit different to get used to. Petrol 8 speed feels really nice. Would be good if the SX had all the safety features but I guess thats not a deal breaker. 

@thisguy how do you find the 2.5L in terms of power?

As I’ve been speaking with Toyota a lot lately they said apple car play is coming and existing new Camrys can be updated but at a cost. 

ZZT86 that is my other concern as well that a revised / face lift comes next year. I’ve asked the dealership and they don’t know of any updates. Unless they push the update to 2021. 

Hey thisguy what did you end up getting?

ZZT86 I’m looking at the new SL hybrid, have you heard about any issues with then CVT? 

Adamsy did you get the SL hybrid or ascent sport hybrid? 

Yeah I’ve been told 4-6 month wait. Still considering the V6, the new 8 speed should help with fuel economy 

Hi rexy did you get the 2.5 or v6? 

Hi Jeffy, not related to your query but how do you find the hybrid? I’m considering getting one or the SX V6

Hi all, looking at either getting the SL hybrid or SX V6. Have previously had a Aurion so used to have a V6. The SL hybrid has a few extras like blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and heads up display. Never had a hybrid before so a bit unsure about them. What’s everyone’s thoughts?
