Toyota approached InStyle magazine last year about a new way to advertise its 2018 Camry.

Six months later, the result is a first-of-its-kind magazine insert that takes readers inside the midsize sedan in an extrasensory way: through sight, sound, smell and touch.

First, readers grip door handles, placing their thumbs on built-in sensors. When pulled open, the scent of supple leather permeates as a simulated heart rate is measured.

Toyota worked with its agency of record, Saatchi & Saatchi, and multiple vendors to build the print creative.
