Take the sensibilities of a Toyota Camry and marry it with the technology pioneered in the Toyota Prius and you have the Toyota Camry Hybrid -- possibly the most pragmatic car in the world.
For 2015, the Camry Hybrid gets almost all of the re-engineering received by the conventional Camry. That starts with a particularly striking new front clip and a wider track to give the car a somewhat aggressive profile, something you never would've said about a Camry Hybrid before. Also new is an SE version of the Camry Hybrid, which adds the sporty look of the gas-powered SE to this more efficient model sitting between the base LE and top-trim XLE. The Camry LE also gets new standard features in the form of a power driver's seat and color display in the instrument panel.
All Camry Hybrids are motivated by the same four-cylinder engine and electric motor that put out a combined 200 horsepower and get up to 43 mpg city and 39 mpg highway. A CVT sending power to the front wheels is the only drivetrain configuration. LE models are comprehensively equipped, but you need to step up to SE and XLE to get the higher levels of technology and convenience features.
The Camry Hybrid LE includes all of the essential equipment, such as an 8-way power driver's seat, 16-inch alloy wheels, a backup camera, a 6.1-inch touchscreen radio with Toyota's Entune system and keyless entry and start. The LE, like all other Camry Hybrids, comes with selectable driving modes, including an EV mode that lets the car run on electric power more often. There are no options on the LE, but at less than $28,000 it is well-equipped.
The SE tries to blend hybrid efficiency with an image that is a touch more engaging than the traditional Camry. It adds sport front seats with leatherette/cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and silver interior accents, 17-inch alloy wheels and a lowered and stiffer sport suspension. The available navigation system bundles in a 7-inch touchscreen with Toyota's Entune apps that include Pandora and Bing, as well as HD radio, a moonroof and a QI wireless charger for mobile devices.
The XLE offers the most premium Camry Hybrid experience with features such as leather upholstery, heated front seats and chrome-finished 17-inch wheels. Navigation is a standalone option. A Convenience Package adds Homelink, an alarm and a moonroof to the navigation system. Another package adds all of those options with a blind-spot monitor, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning along with a JBL audio system.
Depending on your driving habits, a conventional Camry may suit you better. But at around $35,000, a Camry Hybrid XLE is a surprisingly generous helping of car with lots of gadgets and advanced safety gear.
