Toyota / Camry / Hybrid Luxury sedan

Overview

COMPARED with a regular Camry auto, the new Hybrid model is about 20 per cent more powerful yet consumes almost 32 per cent less petrol and emits a fraction of the exhaust emissions.

These stats alone are sufficient to get people talking seriously about Australia’s first petrol-electric hybrid, as does the keen pricing and generous standard specifications.

But there are also compromises to be endured, and Toyota’s goal of making this car feel exactly like a normal Camry means that – for some people – it won’t feel different enough from the rest of the midsized sedan range.
