If You Want To Save Gas, Go for The Toyota Camry Hybrid

Toyota has a couple of big things in store for the Camry when the 2007 model year version of the vehicle rolls out this coming summer: a total revamp and the availability of a hybrid engine. Already the top selling vehicle in America, the Camry is going to be overhauled and re-engineered. Let’s take a look at some of the changes prepared for Toyota’s venerable model.

New Styling Cues - Nobody has ever asserted that the Camry is a knock out when it comes to style. Regardless of its pedestrian look, the Camry has managed to take advantage of Toyota quality, price, and engineering to present a vehicle that is obviously a best seller. Still, critics have typically yawned at the Camry’s looks, but that will shortly all change and dramtically at that. Borrowing some styling cues from Toyota’s Lexus line up of luxury cars, the 2007 Camry is predicted to delight motorists and critics alike. Witness the lately made over Toyota Avalon : what used to be a tasteless, full sized car has been changed into a graceful, luxurious sedan.

Time For A Hybrid - Toyota is riding the hybrid crest and it will, introduce hybrid technology into the Camry line up. Like all of the Camry models, the hybrid version will also be built in the 1st Toyota hybrid to be built outside of Japan. However, the battery and inverter will be sourced from Japan whilst the engine will be Kentucky built. The Camry will join the Prius and the Highlander as the third Toyota model to supply hybrid technology.

More Power - Anticipated to be in the same size range as the Camry will keep its current model, the Camry will keep its current 4 and six cylinder engines, but both will be reworked enough to crank out extra hp without compromising on fuel economy.

The Camry’s chief rival over the last decade has been the Honda deal. With a hybrid offering available and an enhanced appearance in place, the Camry is probably going to fortify its hold on the “top seller” class when the new model is released.

No one knows for sure if the “hybrid phase” is just a fad or something that will at last catch on. With central authority credits still available and high gas prices at the pump, USA citizens continue to look at hybrids as a feasible alternative to parched internal combustion engines. Toyota, for its part, continues to take advantage of this trend and the Camry is the most recent auto in Toyota’s expanding arsenal to incorporate hybrid technology.
