Toyota Debuts 2007 Camry Hybrid

Toyota's Camry Hybrid was recently unveiled at the North American International Auto Show. It features Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive, in this application mating a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a small, specially-developed electric drive motor for a combined output of 192 horsepower. This engine's 147 hp is less than the non-hybrid four-cylinder because it uses the lean-burning Atkinson cycle that reduces power but improves fuel consumption. EPA estimates place the Camry Hybrid's fuel economy at 40 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway, a marked improvement over the standard four-cylinder's 24/34 mpg.
