ConclusionThe Hybrid model keeps all of the normal Camry's virtues, but with much better fuel economy; 6.7 L/100 km is an excellent average. However, it will take years to recuperate the extra investment. Even by saving 3 litres of fuel for every 100 kilometres, while driving 25,000 km every year, the savings will only amount to $750 a year compared to the 4-cylinder Camry. The Camry LE costs $25,900. | Purchasing a hybrid may be a nice environmental gesture, but make sure you know what you are getting into. |
Also, as long as other drivers won't be patient with hybrid vehicles on the road, we'll never be able to fully exploit them. At least we know that with a moderate level of effort, we can succeed in saving the planet before it's too late. Great fuel economy Comfortable ride and cockpit Low CO2 emissions Smaller trunk Unknown long-term reliability Saving gas means driving really, really slowly High price
