In the previous two markets, the car replaced the Avalon model, which can trace its roots back to the early 1990s.

The Aurion shares most of its tooling, drivetrain, and centre body work, with restyled front and rear ends and interior fittings.

[3] After production started in February 2012, April 2012 saw the release of the second generation Aurion in Australia and New Zealand.

The "prestige" Camry was designed in Japan by Hirofumi Fukui, Kazumi Kowaki and Keisuke Matsuno in 2009 and unveiled in Ukraine on 25 August 2011.

It was discontinued in Japan in July 2017 and in Southeast Asia in late 2018, and it was replaced by the TNGA-based XV70 Camry.

Like the Aurion, the Camry also ceased production at the Altona factory, with an imported model from Japan coming to replace it.
