2017 Toyota Camry Hybrid launched, gets new features

Toyota has launched the updated Camry Hybrid in India. It now comes with some minor cosmetic tweaks and a few feature additions and is priced at Rs. 31.98 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Toyota hasn't made any powertrain related changes to the Camry Hybrid. It is thus equipped with the same 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that is paired to an electric motor. This system is capable of generating a combined output of 202 BHP, while being mated to an e-CVT gearbox. The car boasts of a company-claimed fuel efficiency figure of 19.16 km/l.

The updated Camry Hybrid now comes with new LED fog lamps, while other features on offer include 15-spoke alloy wheels, LED headlamps with DRLs, welcome lamp and auto folding & reverse linked ORVMs. Toyota has also upgraded the infotainment system on offer, which now features navigation support and is connected to a 12 speaker JBL sound system.

The 2017 Camry Hybrid further features a new wireless smartphone charger, new back guide monitor, power reclining rear seats and 3-zone automatic climate control. Safety features on offer include 9 airbags (2 more than the older model), tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and new emergency brake signal. Vehicle stability control, traction control and hill start assist control are also a part of the Camry's feature list.

Toyota recently announced that its hybrid vehicles have crossed the 1 crore worldwide sales mark. The company has also launched the new-gen 2017 Prius in India.
