AWD is coming, but powertrain. Not sure, maybe @G knows.

2021 Camry production begins in September 2020, which is the facelift. Launch should be by November 2020.

Usually at this point design of a new Camry is usually defined for the next generation model.

Meaning any feedback is crucial now, not one year before launch.

Or will it stretch out longer into a 6-7 year cycle? Some Corolla lifecycles have run longer than the Camry. 2011 to 2017 was the last one, will XV70 be around beyond 2022?

CALLED IT! JK, but seriously I did mention a refresh was coming very late this year, scheduled for November release.

It is too bad there are no improvements to the all-wheel drive NOR powertrains. If on a 5-year cycle, Toyota has already designed the next gen Camry. If 6 years, they are working on finishing it and hopefully won't be slowed down too much by COVID-19.

Very subtle and nice updates, but was expecting to get HighLander/Venza infotainment to be honest...
