Toyota Camry Hybrid

Inside, the Toyota Camry HEV immediately struck by an asymmetrical centre console slightly angled towards the driver with an 8.0-inch screen of the Entune 3.0 multimedia system. The company promised high-quality interior decoration using soft types of plastic and expensive materials. The steering wheel is worthy of individual words of praise. Everything is great in it - from finishing with high-quality and pleasant leather to a wide list of options controlled by buttons on the knitting needles. Most assistants, as well as an audio system with a telephone, can be controlled by the driver from here.

In front of the driver there is an instrument panel with a large 7.0-inch display, and for an extra charge, a ten-inch projection display on the windshield is available for the model. The front seats are now 25 mm lower than before, and the rear seats are 30 mm lower. The new car’s bold cabin is accentuated with a range of advanced features. This includes a wireless charging system for smartphones, dual-zone automatic air conditioning system, six-speaker sound system, multi-adjustable power front seats and 60/40 split and reclining rear seats, among many others.

The car’s overall dimensions are 4,885 mm in length, 1,840 mm in width, and 1,445 mm in height. The wheelbase of the new Toyota Camry has been increased, now it’s 2,825 mm. Everything stands on the 18-inch alloy wheels.

One look at this new sedan and it's clear that the changes are more than just under the surface. The new Camry looks downright wild, more than ever. Exterior elements detailing the new 2019 model has clearly turned out to be outstanding. The updated Camry has become a little longer and got a completely different hood with deeper depressions and protuberances. In addition, it is worth noting that a slight tilt of the hood cover to the roadway. At the very centre of the muzzle, there is a thin but long air intake with a noticeable chrome-plated Toyota badge in the middle. It has a single solid grille, decorated with a bunch of chromed horizontal stripes. On either side of this are aggressive stripes of headlamps extending to the side fenders.

The features of the new body are distinguished by impeccable style and fully reflect the premium status of the car. The smooth transitions at the level of an updated door handle, slightly protruding wheel arches, a skirt of a sporty look, and small decorative stripes deserve mention. At the back of the car, you’ll get a compact trunk with a small aerodynamic protrusion and lights that resemble a horizontally oriented oval shape. To sum up the exterior you’ll get a single modest exhaust trailer.

The new Camry has impressive stopping and handling, thanks to its Independent MacPherson strut front suspension with stabilizer bar; multi-link rear suspension with stabilizer bar, and front strut tower bracing. It makes riding the car a comfortable experience.

The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) further helps in ensuring a smooth and safe ride.

The Camry Hybrid comes with a 2.5-liter, inline 4-cylinder mill that produces a maximum power of 179 PS and a peak torque of 221 Nm. Paired with a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Electric Motor with the highest power output of 120 PS and peak torque of 202 Nm, it produces a net output of 219 PS. The drivetrain is mated to an electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (e-CVT) that shuttles power forward. The Camry HEV has an impressive fuel economy of 26 kmpl. The regenerative braking improves fuel economy and allows the Hybrid Powertrain to be operated in the charge-sustaining mode, preventing the need for recharging the vehicle batteries.

The 2019 Toyota Camry is one of the highest-rated new cars when it comes to safety. It is accompanied with power-assisted ventilated 12-inch front disc brakes, solid 11.06-inch rear disc brakes with hydraulic brake booster, Electronically Controlled Braking (ECB) system, integrated regenerative braking and Star Safety System and its Unitized body with front and rear anti-vibration sub-frames. The all-new Camry HEV employs the latest safety technologies like Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P). A comprehensive array of safety features has been added to protect vehicle occupants, including six SRS airbags, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), back-up camera as well as an enhanced body structure and platform structure, among many others.

Overall, the Toyota Camry HEV is a safe and reliable vehicle that packs in a good number of features. It also has a fuel economy that is difficult to best. The redesigned Toyota Camry retains the sensible-shoes virtues that have long been its trademark but adds a level of design flair and dynamic appeal that will likely cause traditional family-sedan buyers to do a double take. The price starts from AED 133,500.
