2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid: The Toyota Camry is spacious, comfy, loads an effective V-6 as well as a silky smooth transmission.

2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid


Efficiency

Customers are progressively changing to four-cylinder engines in their midsize sedans, as well as the Camry's stood up well in a current Cars.com Shootout. It's proficient and also shifts well.

While the optional 18-inch sport-oriented wheels harshened its vaunted flight a little bit, the Camry's travelling comfort is reputable. The steering isn't really crisp, and also handling is sub-par, yet if you're going from point A to factor B as well as would rather pay even more focus on NPR than the contours in the roadway, this is a great choice.

The optional 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 that powered my recent tester showed to be unbelievably fast, which was the most shocking facet of the Camry when traveling.

While I can warrant the tradeoff in dealing with skill for convenience, I can not follow the Toyota's subpar brakes. It's native to the island in the brand name: You have to push also far down to get the reaction you want. Slack guiding is one point, but pulling up is as crucial a chauffeur input as there is.

Honda's brakes can be excessively grabby, however Ford, Hyundai and Kia models respond with the common responses drivers must anticipate.

Due to the fact that the Camry is an aging system, the company hasn't already dealt with gas mileage in some time, so it disappoints a lot of competitors. At 20/29 mpg city/highway, 23 mpg incorporated, the V-6 is a little behind the Accord's 24 mpg combined yet ahead of the Ford Combination's V-6, at 21 mpg combined. The real astonishment is the brand-new Hyundai Sonata Turbo; as opposed to a V-6, it uses a turbocharged four-cylinder that has even more power compared to the Camry V-6 and mileage that bests also the Camry's four-cylinder nuclear power plant: 22/33 mpg city/highway, 26 mpg incorporated.

Toyota sells a Camry Hybrid that's much more costly but returns mileage of 31/35 mpg city/highway, 33 mpg combined. But-- you thought it: The Sonata has a crossbreed variation, too, and it outdoes the Camry smoothly, with gas mileage of 35/40 mpg city/highway, 37 mpg combined.

Interior

As the Camry system ages, the interior has actually stood up quite well versus the competitors. Plastics are high-quality, also determined against the Sonata. I liked the dashboard's basic, rather elegant layout, with a radiant centerpiece around the radio controls.

The front seats are exceptionally vast-- the largest I could recall in a car this size. Dressed up in natural leather that my tester had, they are also unbelievably comfy, also on long drives. The backseat has plenty of area for grown-up travelers as well as child-safety seats.

The trunk is additionally on the large side, at 14.5 cubic feet. It includes an extremely large opening, so it's easy to get large things inside.

Functions & Pricing

A big problem for any automobile shopper today is bottom-line cost. As sensible as it may be, the Camry does come with a cost costs. When taking a look at comparable Sonata trims, the Camry is always more costly, by a margin of $500-$ 2,000. At base degrees, the Sonata comes much better equipped than the Camry, packing typical Bluetooth and also USB inputs.

If the Camry were vastly premium in all other areas, possibly it would deserve its higher rate. However that's not the case; Hyundai has a far better warranty, and that brand name's reliability is likewise enhancing, even if it cannot boast Toyota's long track record.

Safety and security

Using the government's new luxury ranking system for accident examinations, the Camry earned four stars general however only after making changes in the production of the new model. 2011 version year Camry sedans produced after November 22, 2010, are those that gain the greater, four-star rating. You could check an automobile's construct day on a tag attached to the driver-side doorjamb.

The Camry earned the top rating, Great, in the Insurance Policy Institute for Highway Security's frontal and also side crash tests, in addition to the roof-strength examination, but took care of only a Low rating in rear crashes, stopping it from gaining a Leading Safety and security Pick classification.

This is one more location where the Hyundai wins out. The Sonata is one of just a couple of vehicles on the market to have a government five-star safety score and to be an IIHS Top Safety And Security Choose.

Camry in the Market

For years, the Toyota Camry has actually been the champion on the market when it pertains to sales. Even after significant recalls in the past 2 years, the automobile still covers sales charts.

All those dedicated purchasers should value comfort and also peacefulness over all else, due to the fact that the Camry is targeted by every new sedan to strike the market, and also generally it's held its very own.

That car shootout of ours I stated earlier? The Camry completed an extremely respectable second location versus seven of those beginners. It was bested just by the Hyundai Sonata.
