The Ascent Sport is the second-rung up in the Camry range, offering mainly visual upgrades over its base Ascent compatriot.

It is available exclusively with the 2.5-litre four-cylinder hybrid engine option, wearing an MSRP of $36,290, and other upgrades include a standard 9.0-inch multimedia touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and built-in satellite navigation.

This is in addition to the base hybrid's 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, dual-zone climate control, cloth interior trim, keyless entry with push-start igntion and a wide angle reversing camera.

On the safety front the Ascent sport also adds to the base car's auto emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist, with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert. The Camry range is covered by a maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating to the 2017 standards.

The only 2.5-litre four-cylinder hybrid engine option for the Ascent Sport provides a combined 160kW of power and 221Nm of torque. It drives the front wheels via a continuously variable automatic transmission. There is no longer a V6 engine option in the Camry range.

Despite studying ancient history and law at university, it makes sense Tom ended up writing about cars, as he spent the majority of his waking hours finding ways to drive as many as possible. His fascination with automobiles was also accompanied by an affinity for technology growing up, and he is just as comfortable tinkering with gadgets as he is behind the wheel. His time at CarsGuide has given him a nose for industry news and developments at the forefront of car technology.
