Toyota phased out the fullsize Avalon in the United States after the 2022 model year and indirectly replaced it with the high-riding Crown. If you want a conventional sedan more spacious than the Corolla, a new report states the Camry will live to see a new generation. Australian magazine Drive has it on good authority the ninth-gen model will go on sale next year in some markets to replace the current car unveiled a little over six years ago.
Details are scarce for the time being, but the report alleges the new Camry will use an evolution of the TNGA-K platform. It'll do battle with the latest Honda Accord and an upcoming mid-cycle update for the Hyundai Sonata, the latter of which will reportedly cease to exist after the facelift. The Mondeo/Fusion has already been retired while the Mazda6's future looks grim as customers continue to flock to crossovers and SUVs.
