‘07 Camry Hybrid Quietly Succeeds
By MB-BigB | October 1, 2006
From the Associated Press via the Worcester Telegram and Gazette comes an indepth review of the new 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. Alot bigger and powerful than the Prius, the Camry Hybrid gets 40 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.
“For the most part, I didn’t know I was driving a hybrid. The Camry Hybrid uses Toyota’s latest Hybrid Synergy Drive system and has electronics that automatically mixes the gas engine power with electric power, as needed. Save for the intriguing dashboard graphic that showed where the power was coming from — engine or electric source — and a sometimes golf-cart feel with just the electric power on, the Camry Hybrid felt like a “normal†sedan. The engine can generate 147 horsepower on its own, so highway travel isn’t sluggish. And in city traffic and during passing maneuvers, electric power provided good get up and go.”
