Hybrid Camry - Real Savings for the Real World


Toyota’s Hybrid Camry – with combined power of 140kW from its 2.4 litre petrol engine and electric drive motor – produces only 142 grams per kilometre of CO2 when tested to the Australian Design Rule standards.

Hybrid vehicles produce lower and cleaner emissions than standard engine technologies, reducing fuel consumption. Hybrid Camry will save around up to 900 litres or $1,530 a year (based on pump price of $1.70 a litre for regular unleaded fuel) in everyday driving* compared with its six cylinder rivals, delivering fuel consumption and emissions similar to small and compact cars. Toyota engineers have tuned the suspension and steering for Australian conditions – and they have included technology that improves overall driving performance and safety.

Hybrid Camry’s purpose designed 2.4 litre engine meets the stringent Euro IV emission regulations. Fuel-saving strategies include adopting the Atkinson cycle process, using electric power assisted steering instead of hydraulic and eliminating the need for a separate alternator. The air conditioning system has an ‘ECO’ mode to reduce fuel consumption. LED rear lights reduce electricity consumption, further reducing fuel usage.

*  “Everyday driving” refers to the ADR 81/02 combined cycle. Emissions data based on ADR 81/02 combined cycle. Fuel consumption and emissions will vary depending on driving conditions/style, vehicle conditions and options/accessories.
