Complimenting the improvements under the hood, the 2010 Camry receives a minor, yet stylish facelift to the front and rear fascia. The SE trim boasts 17-inch wheels and a mesh-like grille that surely separates the new Camry from previous models. The 2010 Camry is full of premium features like the optional Smart Key System with Push Button Start, and heated, leather-trimmed seats. For those who appreciate crisp sound, a JBL eight-speaker sound system with AM/FM/MP3/WMA 6-disc in-dash CD changer, integrated satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity and an auxiliary audio jack and USB port for your iPod. To insure that you never get lost, the optional voice-activated DVD navigation system with backup camera makes getting directions a breeze.
