The Camry has always been a barometer of sorts for Toyota; and each of the Camry generations’ incremental improvements over the years show that the carmaker has almost always leaned on evolution, rather than revolution when it came to their products.

For those who’re familiar with Toyota history, they’d probably remember that the local market Vios took on the name Belta for its home market in Japan. A contraction of the Italian words, Bella Gente or “Beautiful People,” it enabled Toyota to expand its offering, especially in developing markets (it wasn’t such a big hit in North America or even Japan).

Review: Kaicene CX70 1.5T
The Kaicene CX70 is the newest sub-compact 7-seater SUV in the market, and it pretty much does what it’s set out to do: offer a top-of-the-line SUV experience for three-quarters of a Toyota Rush or Honda BR-V’s price. Despite its winning price and high value for money quotient, it does, however, fall short—way short—of delivering three-quarters of its competitors on-road refinement and dynamics.
