About hybrid cars
Hybrid cars work by offering the most advanced driving performance, the best fuel economy and the lowest CO2 emissions#.
These days you'll see several vehicles claiming to be "hybrid", but often they fall short of genuine power sharing - with the electric motor only adding extra power from time to time, without ever taking over from the petrol engine.
Hybrid Camry, like Toyota's other hybrid cars, is built on a full hybrid system that switches between the electric motor and the engine, or runs off the combination of both. It intelligently manages the energy flows from the two different power sources to optimise the driving experience.
And it's all designed with efficiency in mind; the power sources automatically engage when they're most efficient, working alone or together as the driving conditions demand. Because efficiency is about more than fuel economy. It means reducing reliance on the petrol engine when you can, and turning it off completely when it's not needed.
Hybrid Synergy Drive®
Toyota's world leading Hybrid Synergy Drive® delivers outstanding performance while being incredibly fuel efficient.
How hybrid cars work
Toyota's hybrid cars are powered by a powerful electric motor in conjunction with a highly efficient petrol engine, minimising wastefulness and maximising performance.
Hybrid engine
There's no other Australian-built family-sized car that's more fuel efficient than Hybrid Camry.
Hybrid battery
Hybrid Camry uses a nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery that's designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle.
Hybrid fuel economy
Hybrid fuel economy is designed to take you further, with more power, for less. They significantly reduce fuel consumption with the best environmental performance in its class.
