If you live or work in Gaithersburg, you’re probably already familiar with the many perils of taking to the road during the winter months. We here at Fitzgerald Toyota Gaithersburg are pleased to have the highly capable Toyota Camry in our showroom right now, and we’re standing by with all the facts on how you can set up your new Camry to handle almost any type of winter weather. Powerful Performance The entry-level Camry comes outfitted with a standard four-cylinder engine that creates sufficient horsepower for conquering almost any road. However, if traveling up steep hills and navigating challenging driving conditions in winter are among your main driving concerns, you can opt for a Camry model that’s equipped with a 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine for even more power. Several hybrid models are also available that deliver similar capability levels with improved fuel mileage ratings in the range of 50 miles per gallon. Excellent Handling The Camry’s standard front-wheel-drive system offers highly effective handling in most types of weather, but many drivers in Baltimore and Arlington find that all-wheel drive provides extra peace of mind when motoring in the wintertime. That’s why it’s great news that all-wheel drive is available on the 2021 Camry line-up as an added feature for traditional gas-fueled and hybrid models alike. Choosing a Camry with upgraded 19-inch wheels may also enhance stability and increase ground clearance for smoother traveling in rain, ice, and snow. Interior Comfort Regardless of the weather outside, you and your passengers will find warmth and comfort as soon as you climb inside your Camry. Many Camry models provide dual-zone climate controls so that the driver and front passenger can each find their own desired air temperature and rear-seat vents for improved circulation of heated air throughout the cabin.
