Looking for a vehicle that balances power and efficiency is a daunting task, but Toyota has you covered. The 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid brings it all to the table, from performance to technology, to safety and much more. Here’s everything you need to know.
Powerful Performance
The standard Camry Hybrid Dynamic Force Engine runs on a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine that pumps out 203 horsepower. When teamed up with an electric motor and a smooth CVT transmission, this team maintains a fuel efficiency of 51 miles per gallon in town and 53 miles per gallon on the highway. The Hybrid Synergy Drive relies on a reliable hybrid battery that has been continuously refined for over 11 years. With the 2018 Camry Hybrid, that battery has been moved to create more space in the trunk, and it’s had some weight shaved off to improve the vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
In addition to the Camry’s powerful and efficient engine, the independent MacPherson front strut suspension and double-wishbone style multi-link rear suspension work together to deliver a drive that actively responds to the road, generating a smooth ride and responsive handling.
Innovative Technology
Hybrid performance isn’t the end of the Camry’s innovative technology. Start by immersing yourself in the luxurious environment by personalizing the Entune 3.0 display with your favorite color, which will project in the vehicle’s ambient lighting. Using the same Entune 3.0, 8-inch display and the available Head-Up Display, the Hybrid Energy Monitor illustrates how power is routed to the wheels and how wasted energy is recycled to charge the battery.
The 2018 Camry Hybrid lets you drive your way. Pick ‘Sport’ mode for a quicker acceleration and improved throttle response, or switch to ECO mode to adjust throttle for maximized efficiency. Or use EV mode to switch into electric driving that cuts motor emissions and reduces noise.
Stay connected with Wi-Fi Connect powered by Verizon, which is a system unique to Toyota that can support up to five devices within the vehicle. Through an app on your smartphone, you can also use Remote Connect to hunt down your Camry in a parking lot or monitor guest drivers, like that teen who’s behind the wheel for the second or third time.
Comprehensive Safety Features
Toyota proves that it puts its drivers first by including a comprehensive safety package called Toyota Safety Sense, which comes standard on all Camry Hybrid vehicles. Safety Sense includes a Pre-Collision System that utilizes both camera and radar to cue audio and visual warnings. If you don’t react quickly enough, the system will apply brake pressure to guarantee your safety. Another system called Dynamic Radar Cruise Control brings safety to the convenience of cruise control by maintaining a set speed and simultaneously keeping you at a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.
In addition to the Safety Sense package, the Camry Hybrid also includes Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, 10 standard airbags, and much more.
Whatever you’re looking for in a new vehicle, the 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid has it all. Don’t believe us? Come down to Smart Toyota and take a test drive for yourself.
