Digital radio is great and all, but its take up has been hindered by a lack of options of in-car devices. Toyota has announced the’re about to change all that, installing a DAB+ radio as standard in its Camry Atara SL model.
From the press release:
Australian built in Toyota’s Melbourne factory, the top-of-the-range Atara SL model ($39,990) includes digital radio as standard. The Atara SL combines digital radio with a 7-inch touchscreen display, a 10-speaker JBL sound system, a CD player, reversing camera, Bluetooth hands-free and music streaming, as well as auxiliary and USB ports.
It’s not going to change the world, and it’s certainly not going to overhaul digital radio take up on its own, but it’s a step in the right direction. Nice move, Toyota…
