Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has launched The All New Camry - Camry Hybrid and Camry Gasoline, in the passenger luxury sedan category.

The Camry has been designed to match the refined and ever evolving customers' needs for a luxury car, complete with a new exterior that creates an even more innovative, prestige appearance appropriate for luxury sedan.

Camry Hybrid comes with Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) powertrain that combines the performance of a 2.5 litre Atkinson cycle four - cylinder gasoline engine and a high - torque electric motor.

It has a combined power (engine + motor) output of 205 PS coupled with leading - edge fuel economy of 19.16 kmpl* and 122.8 gm of CO2 emissions per km of driving, which is far lesser than the conventional vehicles of similar engine size.

It comes with an Electronically Controlled Continuous Variable Transmission (E-CVT), which provides enhanced driving performance, with reduced fuel consumption and lower NVH.

The Camry Hybrid is a self charging vehicle. When the vehicle decelerates or at the time of braking, the electric motor acts as a generator and converts the kinetic energy to electric energy in a process called regenerative braking. This energy is stored in Camry Hybrid's HV battery pack for later use when needed to power the vehicle.

Pioneers of Hybrid, Toyota has a history of more than 15 years to its credit and over 7 million hybrid cars across the globe.

The gasoline Camry was first introduced in 2002, in India. In 2012, TKM began locally manufacturing the gasoline Camry. Toyota marked an important milestone in the history of the Indian Auto Industry in 2013, with the launch of India's first ever locally manufactured hybrid - Camry Hybrid.
