Toyota's New Camry Hybrid
The Japanese automaker unveiled its latest and greatest Toyota Camry, a vehicle which has been on top of American sales for mid-size vehicles for thirteen of the last fourteen years.
Alongside the traditional gas engine models, the Camry family has grown, with the addition of a second hybrid model. The new vehicles stick with the 2.5L V-4 engine (dual VVT-i) that was rolled out in the previous 2009 refresh as a replacement to the older 2.4 L inline-4. The 178hp engine is now standard for all models.
While the Camry maintains the same 2006 platform (XV40), the exterior has been subject to a drastic makeover, with 100 percent of the sheet metal remodeled. The internals have also been worked on. Toyota says 90 percent of the parts have been re-engineered.
In total 80 percent of the parts are sourced from American suppliers, with Toyota claiming the Camry to be the "most American" mid-size car.
