Toyota Motor Corp., whose Camry sedan has been the top-selling U.S. car for the past 12 years, will roll out a refreshed model next month as Ford Motor Co. and domestic rivals gain on the perennial leader.

Toyota will show an updated Camry at the New York International Auto Show on April 16, spokesman Curt McAllister said. The refreshed version "will challenge conventional expectations of a mid-cycle model change," he said.

The world's largest automaker has been selling the current generation of Camry since late 2011 and has redesigned it roughly every five years. President Akio Toyoda has emphasized more aggressive styling as the Camry faces competition from midsize cars including Ford's Fusion, Honda Motor Co.'s Accord and Nissan Motor Co.'s Altima.
