2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid
To deal with that perception, Toyota has actually given the Camry a four-corners renovation for 2015. The previous dour as well as blocky visage obtains sportier this year thanks to a longer, lower, and angrier-looking snout, a gently creased as well as folded hood, recently carved and also sculpted flanks, as well as a bigger stance. Inside, there's new cheer, too, with even more soft-touch surfaces, accent stitching, and also bright silver trim. The redesign additionally includes the Camry hybrid, of which there are now 3 trim degrees: LE, XLE, as well as the new SE, the subject of this test. The SE includes some red mist to its eco-friendly image with a mesh grille, dark chrome trim, a spoiler, and also 17-inch light weight aluminum wheels.

Update on the Updates
All 2015 Camrys receive structure-stiffening procedures via extra area welds in crucial areas, such as the cowl and also door openings. Toyota additionally rubbed the electrical power guiding (to allegedly make it really feel more like a standard hydraulically improved system) as well as included a dual-stage brake booster in an attempt to make pedal action extra straight.
The SE hybrid gets particular suspension bushings, shock valving, and also a rear anti-roll bar tuned for a smidgeon much better responsiveness. Its flight is a color stronger than other Camrys' yet is still enhanced for convenience. Guiding response, while straight, really feels somewhat wood. And also brake-pedal reaction, despite having Toyota's years of method mixing regenerative and hydraulic systems, has a slightly remote feeling.
Sporty Looks, Somnambulant Driving
We would love to report that the SE crossbreed's sportier look is matched by an equally extra appealing driving experience. However that's not the situation, and also the examination numbers expose no extra liveliness, either. Inning accordance with our equipment, the 2015 Camry SE hybrid managed the very same 178-foot 70-to-0-mph stopping range as well as 0.78 g of side hold as the last Camry hybrid we examined, a 2012 XLE version.
In a sense, all Camry hybrids are sportier compared to nonhybrid four-cylinder models thanks to a more effective drivetrain. Whereas the conventional four-cylinder Camry makes do with just 178 horsepower as well as 170 lb-ft of torque, the combined 200 equines of the crossbreed's gas-electric powertrain as well as 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 mph, the 2015 Camry crossbreed was a full 2nd quicker to that mark than a four-cylinder nonhybrid Camry.
Consume alcohol Less
Yet allow's not fail to remember the primary factor that seven percent of Camry sales thus far this design year are crossbreeds: gas economic situation. In spite of the tweaks Toyota went to upon the SE hybrid version-- including larger, 215/55 rubber-- its EPA mileage rating is the same 40/38 mpg city/highway as the XLE crossbreed version. While those typically aren't the headline-grabbing 43/39-mpg figures of the Camry LE crossbreed that rolls on skinnier, ultra-low-rolling-resistance 205/65 -16 tires, it's a huge improvement over the base 2.5-liter's 25/35-mpg ratings. In several hundred miles of screening, we averaged 31 mpg with the SE crossbreed, 5-mpg thriftier than the last traditional four-cylinder Camry we assessed.
The sportier versions have actually been amassing a growing number of of nonhybrid Camry sales, so Toyota may be onto something by using an SE variation of the crossbreed. When we're able to pitch one against the Ford Blend crossbreed, Hyundai Sonata crossbreed, and Kia Optima crossbreed we'll have the ability to see whether the Camry SE's touch of red haze helps it win the battle of the environment-friendly cars.
