With the all-new 2007 model, Toyota set out to redefine the Camry, trading in the conservative image for a more modern and stylish image while offering a higher level of performance and driving dynamics. The hybrid version adds a new element to the Camry lineup.
Without making particularly overt appearance changes versus standard versions of the popular sedan, Toyota has installed its Hybrid Synergy Drive, which pairs an efficient four-cylinder gasoline engine with a powerful electric motor into the new-for-2007 redesigned Camry.Technology
The 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid has a twin cam, 2.4 liter, 147 horsepower, 4-cylinder engine, with 138 lb-ft of torque. The Camry Hybrid has a total of 192 horsepower when combined with its electric motor. The Camry Hybrid uses Toyota's electronically controlled continuously variable transmission.
As well as protecting the environment, the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid shields its driver and passengers with a decent array of safety features. The Camry Hybrid features Toyota's Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system, which picks up data from a series of sensors around the car and applies it to the car's range of standard safety features.
The redesigned Camry is quiet, comfortable, and refined. The telescoping steering column is a plus. The 3.5-liter V6 returns 23 mpg overall, while the four-cylinder returned 24 mpg. The interior is spacious. Curtain air bags are standard, but stability control remains optional.
Owners of the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid can indulge their ecofriendly consciences in style. Optional leather-trimmed seats are complemented by a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift, lending the cabin a comfortable feel and a touch of class. Both front seats can be heated using toggle switches in the center console.
