Once again Toyota did it. It made us fall in love one more time all over again. We are talking about the all-new 2019 Toyota Camry that was finally launched in the Philippines earlier this month. Yes, Toyota did keep us all waiting for quite some time but it’s alright considering it was all worth the suspense, impatience, and excitement.

Fortunately, Toyota knows how to handle pressure and therefore has implemented some of the best features in the Camry.

These LEDs are beautiful and are nothing short of a masterpiece. They contribute a lot to the overall appearance of the car from the front.

LED headlamps and tail lights

Now we come to the headlamps. They have a nice and sleek design and gel with the sharp design of the front bumper and the prominent and attractive grille. Everything at the front is exactly at its place.

The rear end of the Camry showcases this beautiful pair of tail lights that are large in size but doesn’t spoil the overall look of the car from the behind. They even have a signature LED bar that would let you know that you’re behind a new 2019 Camry.
