UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd (UMWT), the distributor of Toyota vehicles in Malaysia has announced that its newly launched 2019 Toyota Camry has been awarded with a full 5-star rating at the recent New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP) crash test result.

With the Camry scoring in all aspects including effective breaking avoidance, seat belt reminders, blind spot technology and advance safety assist technologies, it received 5-Star rating with an overall score of 91.47 points.

Completely redesigned for the 8th generation since it was first introduced for the Malaysian market in the early 1990s, the All New Toyota Camry is available in the 2.5V variant. It is featured with advanced Toyota Safety Sense such as Pre-collision System, Lane Departure Alert (LDA), Steering Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) as well as Automatic High Beam (AHB). The styling of the Camry is more futuristic and expressive. Using the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, the company had taken a new approach in designing, engineering and developing a Camry that has very responsive handling, tougher vehicle body and other world-class features that provide peace of mind, as well as the pleasure of driving.
