Toyota Camry Hybrid combines a newly developed hybrid 2.5 L Beltless petrol engine with an electric motor. The vehicle uses Hybrid Synergy Drive, which automatically sense when to switch between the petrol engine and electric motor. The new technology automatically controls the engine and motor output for optimum fuel efficiency. Both petrol engine and electric motor together gives maximum power of 205 PS.
Another awesome feature is the motor is activated as a generator to convert the moving vehicle kinetic energy into electricity. From this generated electricity, it charges the battery. This process, usually happens at the time of decelerating and braking and is called regenerative braking.
The Camry Hybrid comes with an Electronically Controlled Continuous Variable Transmission (E-CVT), which provides enhanced driving performance, with reduced fuel consumption and lower NVH.
The car gives the mileage of 19.16 kmpl.
