The
2018 Toyota Camry hybrid will have a fuel economy rating better than the Honda
Accord Hybrid.
The report says that the Toyota Camry will hit the
Japanese market exclusively in the hybrid model. The Honda Accord Hybrid is
available in EX and LX grades, a fuel economy rating in the JC08 test cycle of
30 km/l for the former and 31.6 km/l for the latter. So, 31.6 km/l is the
figure the all-new Toyota Camry needs to cross.
The 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid incorporates a new generation
Toyota Hybrid System shortly known as ‘THS II’. An all-new 2.5-litre
four-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine and an electric motor work together for generating
power, which is sent to the wheels via a continuously variable transmission. In
the U.S.-spec version model, Toyota says that the new Camry hybrid will have a
Prius-like city/highway efficiency. The U.S.-spec Prius has a fuel economy
rating of 54 mpg (22.96 km/l) in city driving and 50 mpg (21.26 km/l) in
highway driving. Figures for the JDM-spec version will vary.
Toyota plans to launch the 2018 Toyota Camry in
Japan this summer (June-August) this year.
