Toyota Camry a Hybrid for a Leader

Filed Under Fast Cars 

Toyota has a couple of big things in store for the Camry when the 2007 model year version of the auto rolls out this coming summer: a complete redesign and the availability of a hybrid engine. Already the best selling vehicle in America, the Camry is going to be overhauled and re-engineered. Let's take a look at some of the changes booked for Toyota's venerable model.

New Styling Cues - Nobody has ever said that the Camry is a knock out when it comes to style. Despite its pedestrian look, the Camry has managed to capitalize on Toyota quality, price, and engineering to present a car that is obviously a best seller. Still, critics have typically yawned at the Camry's looks, but that may shortly all change and dramtically at that. Borrowing some styling cues from Toyota's Lexus line up of high end cars, the 2007 Camry is predicted to delight motorists and critics alike. Witness the lately made over Toyota Avalon : what used to be a tasteless, full sized car has been changed into a smooth, lush sedan.

Time For A Hybrid - Toyota is riding the hybrid crest and it will, introduce hybrid technology into the Camry line up. Like all other Camry models, the hybrid version will be built in the US, making it the first Toyota hybrid to be built outside of Japan. However, the battery and inverter will be imported from Japan whilst the engine will be Kentucky built. The Camry will join the Prius and the Highlander as the third Toyota model to offer hybrid technology.

More Power - Anticipated to be in the same size range as the Camry will keep its current model, the Camry will keep its current four and six cylinder engines, but both will be reworked enough to crank out additional horsepower without compromising on fuel economy.

The Camry's chief rival over the past decade has been the Honda deal. With a hybrid offering available and a better appearance prepared the Camry is likely to strengthen its hold on the "top seller" class when the new model is released.

No one knows for sure if the "hybrid phase" is simply a fad or something that will ultimately catch on. With central authority credits still free and high gas costs at the pump, Americans continue to look at hybrids as a viable alternative to thirsty internal combustion engines. Toyota, for its part, continues to capitalize on this trend and the Camry is the most recent auto in Toyota's expanding arms depot to successfully incorporate hybrid technology.
