The 2006 Camry Altise is attractive with bold flowing lines and nicely balanced proportions.
The Car
The 2006 Toyota front wheel drive Camry with five seats in a spacious cabin was aimed at the family, but now it is for anyone who wants to have a reliable comfortable vehicle with space.
The 2006 Altise is a trifle longer than its predecessor, rolling on a longer wheelbase and a wider track, and to make it more appealing Toyota’s local styling team had given it a cosmetic makeover.
Standard with the Altise was air conditioning (not climate control), four-speaker stereo sound with CD player and speed dependent volume, remote keyless central locking, cruise control, MP3 connectivity, electric driver’s seat, multi-function steering wheel, tilt and reach steering column, power windows front and rear, power mirrors, remote releases for the boot and fuel filler, and cloth trim. The Altise has cup holders in the front.
Cabin
Inside, the Camry’s cabin was airy, spacious, functional and modern.
Front seat passengers were accommodated in much improved bucket seats that were both comfortable and supportive.
They enjoyed plenty of head and legroom; there was even good rear legroom.
It wasn’t just the cabin that was spacious, the boot space was also generous at 504 litres, and that was with the full-size spare wheel in place.
The noise intrusion, including annoying road noise, was also noticeably reduced thanks in part to the use of new noise absorbent materials.
Engine
The engine powering the 2006 Altise is a revised 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol unit featuring variable valve timing.
Its output peaks at 117 kW (or 157 horsepower) and 218 Nm of torque and fuel consumption is 8.9 - 9.9L/100 km.
Driving
With the suspension tuned for local conditions by Toyota’s Australian engineers the Camry displayed reassuring road manners and coped well with potholes, speed humps and broken bitumen found around cities.
Its driving dynamics are excellent, it went where it was pointed without fuss, and clung to the road with admirable grip.
Camrys with the petrol engine had a towing capacity of 1200kg when towing a trailer with brakes or 500kg when the trailer didn't have brakes.
Safety
The Toyota’s are renowned for their safety.
Passive safety features on the base model Altise included front airbags for the driver and front seat passenger, front seat belt load limiters and pretensioners, and lap sash seat belts front and rear.
Active safety systems included ABS braking, Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD).
