Toyota Camry Hybrid has redefined the medium sized sedan market segment. It accounts for some 70% of sales in its segment and most of those sales are the hybrid version.
One drive and it’s easy to see why.
Toyota updated the Camry in April 2021 with enhanced safety features, bolder grill design, larger and more functional touchscreen, revised dash and connectivity.
Powered by the 2.5-litre hybrid powertrain that combines with twin electric generators that deliver a maximum 160kW.

Driven just like a normal car the Camry also delivers outstanding fuel economy as we managed 5.0L/100K over the two weeks drove it.
Camry SX is the mid model in the range and comes with Sports suspension, sports front grille, 19-inch alloy wheels, High-grade LED headlights and taillights, Sports leather-accented seats, paddle shifters for e-CVT, Leather-trimmed centre console and door armrests
To me all electric cars make very limited sense, their limitations outweigh the benefits. However hybrids make a huge amount of sense.
They require no change to driver habits, have outstanding fuel economy, and no range anxiety.
Camry SX Hybrid is priced from $39.190 plus the usual costs.
