2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid
To resolve that perception, Toyota has actually given the Camry a four-corners renovation for 2015. The previous dour and blocky visage obtains sportier this year courtesy of a much longer, reduced, as well as angrier-looking snout, a gently wrinkled as well as folded up hood, recently sculpted as well as formed flanks, and a bigger position. Inside, there's new joy, too, with even more soft-touch surfaces, accent sewing, and intense silver trim. The remodel likewise includes the Camry crossbreed, of which there are currently 3 trim degrees: LE, XLE, as well as the brand-new SE, the topic of this examination. The SE includes some red haze to its environment-friendly picture with a mesh grille, dark chrome trim, a looter, and also 17-inch light weight aluminum wheels.

Update on the Updates
All 2015 Camrys obtain structure-stiffening measures using extra place welds in essential areas, such as the cowl and also door openings. Toyota also rubbed the electric power guiding (to apparently make it feel much more like a traditional hydraulically boosted system) and added a dual-stage brake booster in an effort making pedal action much more direct.
The SE crossbreed obtains certain suspension bushings, shock valving, and also a back anti-roll bar tuned for a smidgeon better responsiveness. Its ride is a color firmer compared to various other Camrys' however is still maximized for convenience. Steering action, while direct, feels rather wooden. And also brake-pedal reaction, despite having Toyota's years of practice mixing regenerative and hydraulic systems, has a somewhat remote feeling.
Stylish Appearances, Somnambulant Driving
We wish to report that the SE crossbreed's sportier look is matched by a similarly much more appealing driving experience. Yet that's not the instance, and also the examination numbers disclose no additional vigor, either. Inning accordance with our gear, the 2015 Camry SE crossbreed took care of the same 178-foot 70-to-0-mph stopping distance as well as 0.78 g of side hold as the last Camry hybrid we tested, a 2012 XLE model.
In a feeling, all Camry crossbreeds are sportier compared to nonhybrid four-cylinder designs thanks to a much more effective drivetrain. Whereas the standard four-cylinder Camry makes do with simply 178 horse power and also 170 lb-ft of torque, the mixed 200 steeds of the hybrid's gas-electric powertrain as well as the stout low-end torque of the electrical motor get this gas-sipper off the line quickly. At 7.2 secs from rest to 60 mph, the 2015 Camry hybrid was a complete 2nd quicker to that mark compared to a four-cylinder nonhybrid Camry.
Drink Much less
However let's not neglect the major reason that 7 percent of Camry sales thus far this design year are crossbreeds: gas economic climate. In spite of the tweaks Toyota checked out upon the SE crossbreed model-- consisting of broader, 215/55 rubber-- its EPA gas 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 figures of the Camry LE hybrid that rolls on skinnier, ultra-low-rolling-resistance 205/65 -16 tires, it's a large enhancement over the base 2.5-liter's 25/35-mpg rankings. In a number of hundred miles of testing, we balanced 31 mpg with the SE crossbreed, 5-mpg thriftier compared to the last traditional four-cylinder Camry we assessed.
The sportier versions have actually been garnering an increasing number of of nonhybrid Camry sales, so Toyota may be into something by offering an SE variation of the crossbreed. When we're able to pitch one against the Ford Blend crossbreed, Hyundai Sonata hybrid, as well as Kia Optima hybrid we'll have the ability to see whether the Camry SE's touch of red mist aids it win the battle of the environment-friendly sedans.
