TOYOTA HYBRID CAMRY

The Toyota Hybrid Camry is rewriting the book forever.

If you think you know Toyota Camry, think again. We're about to introduce you to something unlike any Australia-built car that's gone before it. This Toyota goes beyond any Toyota Camry you've ever known. And in a different class from any car you've ever driven.

The new Toyota Hybrid Camry is the result of some of the most pioneering technical minds in the world, combined with passionate, hands-on local Australian expertise. Australia's most popular medium-sized car has now been completely redefined around the world's leading hybrid technology, so that it uses less fuel and produces fewer emissions than a car with half the power. The best fuel efficient car built in Australia.

Here is a car that won't settle for creating a new chapter in Australian motoring history.

It's not just the most technologically advanced Toyota Camry ever, it's the most advanced car ever built in Australia.

You can see the stirrings of revolution the moment you lay eyes on the sleek, sweeping lines of the exterior. A design that’s left the everyday to yesterday, Toyota Hybrid Camry is a vision of progressive motoring designed to excite the senses. Featuring an aggressive new bumper and grille, purposebuilt fog lamps, and exclusive hybrid blue-tinted headlamps — striking finishes to a design that effortlessly blends performance features with impeccable good looks.

TOYOTA HYBRID CAMRY: SHAPED WITH INTENT

An innovative design that’s about more than good looks, every inch of the new Toyota Hybrid Camry has been purposefully sculpted. No corner has been left unconsidered. Or unimproved. Even where your eye might never fall – ours have spent countless time refining. Take the sleeker underbody for example, where aerodynamic improvements significantly reduce drag to provide fuel efficiency in the low 6L/100km* range and deliver performance like never before. Intended to take your breath away.

But we saved the most inspirational achievements for the drive itself. With a host of technical advancements – from seamless gear changes, to exhilarating responsiveness and precision handling – we’ve brought the Toyota Camry to a whole new level of uncompromising performance. The combination of an electric motor with the Atkinson-cycle petrol engine has taken the Australian-built medium-sized car into all new territory, where a power output of around 140kW and incredibly low levels of C02 emissions (less than150g/km*) can be achieved.

*Tested to ADR81/02 (Combined cycle). Actual fuel consumption and emissions may vary depending on driving conditions/style, vehicle conditions and options/accessories.

When you’re handed the key to this new world of advanced engineering, the first thing you notice is that you never have to use it. The new Toyota Hybrid Camry will unlock as soon as you grasp the door handle, and even start at the push of a button – with the key still in your pocket or handbag. Taking keyless entry and control to an absolutely new level, it’s an unmistakable reminder that the car you’re about to drive is so technically advanced, it will completely shift your expectations of driving.

INSPIRED TOUCHES

Slide into the driver’s seat and you’ll soon discover just how advanced the new Toyota Hybrid Camry really is. You’ll find little miracles of inspiration dotting the landscape everywhere. Such as a unique blue-hued instrument cluster containing an Optitron display that gives constant visual feedback on your driving performance. There’s also a Multi Information Display that allows you to easily alternate between important trip and vehicle information, at just the push of a button. Add the convenience of steering wheel audio controls, and Bluetooth™ wireless technology for hands-free calls and music streaming – and suddenly simply ‘getting there’ has turned into ‘arriving’.

BEAUTY ON THE INSIDE

It’s when you’re actually driving that things really start to excite your senses. Take a moment and listen – to the complete silence of the cabin. Watch the rain sensing wipers turn on automatically at the first sprinkle. And notice the level of comfort for every passenger – and how it lasts the whole journey. It’s only there, on the open road, that you feel the full effect of the Toyota Hybrid Camry’s superior ride. The premium levels of comfort, the smooth response to your slightest command, and the reassurance of a Toyota–first proactive safety system. Vehicle Dynamic Integrated Management (VDIM) monitors your drive and then seamlessly synchronises Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control (TRC) safety technologies, among others, for improved handling and control. In the unlikely event of an incident, a full complement of SRS airbags is standard to help mshield occupants from harm. Add to that rear parking sensors and a reversing camera, as well as the option of Satellite Navigation, and you have an ensemble of luxuries working together to produce a total driving experience that’s simply out of this world.

DYNAMIC

POWERFUL

Hybrid Synergy Drive® cleverly combines the power of two finely tuned energy sources to give you dynamic performance and a refined driving experience. The car can be powered by electricity, petrol, or a combination of both – switching so seamlessly between the two that you probably won’t even notice it happening. What you will notice is constant, smooth acceleration, powerful thrust and breathtaking levels of torque that make every journey one to remember.

EFFICIENT

Efficiency is about more than fuel economy. It means doing the best job possible, whatever the conditions. That’s why Hybrid Synergy Drive® has twin power sources that work in perfect harmony, so your driving performance remains at its most efficient, and suited to the driving conditions – whether that be traffic lights, starting and stopping, overtaking or even cruising. It means every bit of the drive is being capitalised on, and every precious bit of fuel conserved for when it’s really needed.

INTELLIGENT

The intelligence of Hybrid Synergy Drive® simply can’t be measured against anything that’s come before. For one thing, whenever you’re not moving, the petrol engine can switch off automatically. And every time you brake, you create energy that recharges the hybrid battery. Which can later be used for an additional power boost or emission-free electric driving. Something we think is definitely moving things in the right direction.

CLEANER

Hybrid Synergy Drive® has made a point of questioning every accepted inefficiency. By capturing energy that would otherwise be lost in braking, and saving fuel by turning the engine off completely when it’s not in use, we’ve managed to produce a cleaner drive without any loss in performance. And most impressive of all is that unlike all other ‘efficient’ fuel systems, Hybrid Synergy Drive® doesn’t stifle the engine, it complements it – producing vehicles that are as celebrated for their performance as they are for their efficiency.
