2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid
To resolve that assumption, Toyota has given the Camry a four-corners facelift for 2015. The previous ugly and heavyset visage gets sportier this year thanks to a much longer, reduced, as well as angrier-looking snout, a lightly creased and also folded hood, freshly chiseled and formed flanks, as well as a larger stance. Inside, there's new cheer, as well, with more soft-touch surface areas, accent sewing, as well as intense silver trim. The redo likewise includes the Camry crossbreed, of which there are currently three trim degrees: LE, XLE, as well as the new SE, the subject of this examination. The SE adds some red mist to its eco-friendly picture with a mesh grille, dark chrome trim, a spoiler, as well as 17-inch aluminum wheels.

Update on the Updates
All 2015 Camrys receive structure-stiffening measures through added area welds in crucial areas, such as the cowl and door openings. Toyota additionally rubbed the electric power guiding (to supposedly make it really feel extra like a traditional hydraulically increased system) as well as included a dual-stage brake booster in an attempt making pedal action a lot more linear.
The SE crossbreed obtains specific suspension bushings, shock valving, and a rear anti-roll bar tuned for a smidgeon better responsiveness. Its flight is a color firmer compared to various other Camrys' yet is still maximized for comfort. Steering action, while straight, feels rather wood. And also brake-pedal feedback, despite having Toyota's years of practice blending regenerative and hydraulic systems, has a slightly remote feel.
Stylish Appeals, Somnambulant Driving
We wish to report that the SE hybrid's sportier look is matched by a just as a lot more engaging driving experience. But that's not the case, and also the examination numbers reveal no added liveliness, either. Inning accordance with our gear, the 2015 Camry SE hybrid took care of the same 178-foot 70-to-0-mph stopping range as well as 0.78 g of side hold as the last Camry crossbreed we examined, a 2012 XLE design.
In a feeling, all Camry crossbreeds are sportier than nonhybrid four-cylinder models thanks to a more powerful drivetrain. Whereas the traditional four-cylinder Camry makes do with just 178 horse power and also 170 lb-ft of torque, the mixed 200 horses of the crossbreed's gas-electric powertrain and the stout low-end torque of the electrical motor get this gas-sipper off the line briskly. At 7.2 seconds from rest to 60 miles per hour, the 2015 Camry crossbreed was a full second quicker to that mark compared to a four-cylinder nonhybrid Camry.
Drink Much less
However allow's not forget the primary reason that seven percent of Camry sales up until now this design year are crossbreeds: gas economic situation. Despite the tweaks Toyota visited after the SE hybrid model-- including broader, 215/55 rubber-- its EPA mileage rating is the same 40/38 mpg city/highway as the XLE hybrid variation. While those typically aren't the headline-grabbing 43/39-mpg numbers of the Camry LE hybrid that rolls on skinnier, ultra-low-rolling-resistance 205/65 -16 tires, it's a huge enhancement over the base 2.5-liter's 25/35-mpg scores. In numerous hundred miles of testing, we balanced 31 mpg with the SE hybrid, 5-mpg thriftier than the last conventional four-cylinder Camry we examined.
The sportier versions have actually been amassing an increasing number of of nonhybrid Camry sales, so Toyota might be into something by using an SE version of the hybrid. When we're able to pitch one versus the Ford Fusion hybrid, Hyundai Sonata crossbreed, as well as Kia Optima hybrid we'll be able to see whether the Camry SE's touch of red haze helps it win the fight of the environment-friendly sedans.
