The 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid has been launched in
India at an introductory price of INR 36.95 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India). The
tenth-gen Toyota Camry is based on the GA-K platform, which is a derivative of
the company's new-age Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA).
On the outside, the 2019 Toyota Camry is equipped
with LED headlamps with LED DRLs, LED front fog lamps, 18-inch alloy wheels and
LED rear combination lamps. Inside, the tenth generation model features an
all-beige colour theme with light-coloured wood and silver trim. Taking centre
stage on the dashboard is a JBL-sourced 9-speaker audio system that offers
navigation, DVD, AM/FM, Aux-in, USB and Bluetooth support.
The equipment list of the latest-gen Camry Hybrid
includes Tilt and Slide Moonroof, Ventilated Rear Seats with Power Recline and
Trunk Access, Easy Access Function on Passenger Seat Shoulder, Rear Armrest
with Touch-controls for audio system, rear sunshade, aircon, and rear recline,
Memory settings for ORVMs, Driver Seat and Steering Position, Electronic
Parking Brake, Wireless Smartphone Charger, and Rain Sensing Wipers. The safety
kit includes 9 airbags, ABS with EBD, Brake Hold Function, VSC, Parking Assist,
Tire Pressure Monitoring System, ISOFIX and Top Tether Anchor for Child Seats.
The 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid is powered by the
A25A-FXS 2.5-litre petrol engine that is assisted by the 3NM electric motor.
While the petrol motor produces 178 PS and 221 Nm, the electric motor offers
120 PS and 202 Nm. The combined power output stands at 221 PS. The fuel economy
rating of the full-hybrid sedan is 23.27 km/l.
The outgoing Toyota Camry Hybrid was on sale at an
ex-showroom price of INR 37.22 lakh. The 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid, however, is
a tad cheaper. That said, the price of INR 36.95 lakh (ex-showroom) is for only
the introductory period. The new model rivals the likes of Honda Accord Hybrid,
VW Passat and Skoda Superb.
