Worry About Gas Mileage Check Out The Toyota Camry Hybrid
Toyota has two gigantic 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 supply of a hybrid engine. Already the fastest selling vehicle in America, the Camry is going to be overhauled and re-engineered. Let’s have a look at some of the changes scheduled for Toyota’s venerable model.
New Styling Cues – Nobody has ever expounded the Camry is a knock out when it comes to style. Despite its pedestrian look, the Camry has managed to capitalize on Toyota quality, price, and engineering to present a car that is obviously a best seller. Still, critics have typically yawned at the Camry’s looks, but that will soon all change and dramtically at that. Borrowing some styling cues from Toyota’s Lexus line up of high end cars, the 2007 Camry is expected to delight motorists and critics alike. Witness the lately made over Toyota Avalon: what was once a tasteless, full sized vehicle has now been transformed into a graceful, luxurious sedan.
Time For A Hybrid – Toyota is riding the hybrid crest and it will, therefore, 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 while the engine will be Kentucky built. The Camry will join the Prius and the Highlander as the 3rd Toyota model to offer hybrid technology.
More Power – Expected to be in the same size range as the Camry will keep its current model, the Camry will keep its current 4 and 6 cylinder engines, but both will be redone enough to crank out extra hp without compromising on fuel economy.
The Camry’s chief rival during the last decade has been the Honda treaty. With a hybrid offering available and a better appearance in place, the Camry is likely to strengthen its hold on the “top seller” class when the new model is released.
No one knows for sure if the “hybrid phase” is simply a trend or something which will ultimately catch on. With government credits still available and high gas prices at the pump, USA citizens continue to look at hybrids as a workable alternative to parched internal combustion engines. Toyota, for its part, continues to capitalize on this trend and the Camry is the latest vehicle in Toyota’s expanding arsenal to incorporate hybrid technology.
