Camry Hybrid includes a 2.4-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine that develops 147 hp and is coupled to a continuously variable transmission, which is essentially a one-gear affair.
It also gets a 105-kw electric drive motor, along with an ultra-small inverter with a specially designed compact 244-volt nickel-metal hydride
battery and a "transaxle that provides the fuel economy and seamless performance sought by hybrid drivers."
On top of all that, Wearing adds, the new Camry Hybrid is "also equipped with the roominess, comfort, quality and safety that are built into every Camry."
When it comes time for the consumer to consider a Camry Hybrid, the most important feature is likely to be his or her postal code, since there are different kind of rebates in various provinces. PEI is the best place to buy a Camry Hybrid, since there's a $3,000 rebate there, compared with $2,000 in B.C. and Ontario, and $1,000 in Quebec.
In Beatty's view, "adding its standard features to the tax rebates to the fuel savings... the decision to purchase a Camry Hybrid is a no-brainer With this car, the hybrid becomes the value leader in the middle of Camry's model line-up."
