4. Powerful Performance
Being green doesn’t mean you should compromise on performance. The Toyota Camry Hybrid is an example of a car that can be clean and powerful at the same time. The Hybrid powertrain utilises a 2,494-cc in-line four petrol engine that delivers a healthy 160 PS and 213 Nm of torque, and a 650 V Permanent magnet Synchronous Electric Motor that produces 143 PS and 270 Nm of torque. This smart combination is mated to a e-CVT (electronically controlled continuously variable transmission) that drives the front wheels. The hybrid powertrain of the Camry generates a total power output of 205 PS, which endows it with outstanding performance, thus making it a true all-rounder.

5. No charging Hassles
Unlike a conventional electric car, the Toyota Camry Hybrid is a dream come true so far as charging the battery is concerned. There are no electric cables to be plugged in to charge its nickel-metal hydride battery. The Camry’s smart hybrid system detects and then charges the battery using the petrol engine while you enjoy the drive. This smart system ensures that the battery never runs dry, making sure the car always has enough electric power. Moreover, the battery is sealed away nicely in the boot of the car which protects it from the contents in the boot.

6. Extremely Fuel Efficient
The Toyota Camry Hybrid’s powertrain not only provides emission-free drive and excellent performance, it also offers a high level of fuel efficiency. The smart and seamless switchover between the petrol engine and the electric motor saves a lot of fuel in the process. This system continuously monitors the driving style and conditions to maximise fuel saving and this results in the Camry Hybrid consuming as much as or less fuel than a normal hatchback. The hybrid system is also quite frugal as it switches over to the electric mode when the car is moving at low speeds or during traffic jams. This eliminates unnecessary consumption of petrol in traffic jams and also doesn’t emit any harmful gases.The Toyota Camry Hybrid’s powertrain not only provides emission-free drive and excellent performance, it also offers a high level of fuel efficiency.
