Toyota introduced today the all-new, seventh-generation
Camry, America’s best-selling car for nine years running and 13 of the past 14 years. The
2012 Camry debuts a bold, sophisticated new design with a more spacious interior,
improved driving dynamics and an even quieter ride than before. With class leading safety,
fuel economy and multi-media technology added in, the end result is the best Camry ever
made. Introduced in 1983, the Toyota Camry would later establish the template for the
modern midsize sedan, setting benchmarks for Quality, Dependability and Reliability, along
with a comfortable, quiet ride. Since that time, Toyota has sold more than 15 million Camry
models worldwide.
The all-new Camry Hybrid debuts a highly revised version of the brand’s Hybrid
Synergy Drive powertrain, including a new 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The 2012 Camry
Hybrid LE, with EPA-estimated 43 mpg city/39 mpg highway/41 mpg combined, yields a
more-than-30 percent boost in fuel economy in the EPA city and combined driving cycles,
compared to the previous generation, thanks largely to the new hybrid powertrain, but also
due to lighter vehicle weight and optimized aerodynamics.
Through its unique transaxle, the Hybrid Synergy Drive system combines output
from the four-cylinder engine with a small high-torque electric motor. The system produces
a combined 200 horsepower and varies power between the gas engine and electric motor,
or combines both, as needed.
The Camry will also come standard with Toyota Care, a complimentary plan
covering normal factory-scheduled maintenance and 24-hour roadside assistance for two
years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.
