PROS
CONS
The Camry Hybrid offers good fuel efficiency for the midsize sedan segment, and while it cannot match Toyota's own Prius in this regard it is more powerful, better-handling and easier to live with on a daily basis. Using Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive system, the Camry mates a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine to an electric motor and a continuously variable automatic transmission. Peak power output measures a combined 187 hp, excellent for the class, while still returning 31 city/35 highway mpg. The Hybrid comes in a single well-equipped trim level and at around $27,000 is comparable in price to the base V6 Camry.
Standard safety features include 7 airbags, stability and traction control and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. Enticing options include heated leather seating, a sunroof, 16-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, a navigation system, satellite radio and a JBL premium sound system. Top class competitors for 2011 are the Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion and Hyundai Sonata hybrids.
