The Camry Hybrid features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine beneath its hood, paired with an 88-kWh battery pack for a combined output of 208 horsepower. It works with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission that sends power to the front wheels. The estimated torque output comes in at 149 pound-feet. All trim levels include four selectable driving modes: EV, Eco, Normal, and Sport, to put more control in the driver's hands.

Fuel efficiency is one of the top performance aspects of the 2022 Camry Hybrid. It's also quicker than most models in its segment, going from zero to 60 mph in just eight seconds. The vehicle drives smoothly and boasts predictable braking. It comes standard with low-rolling-resistance tires to further improve efficiency. Whether you're looking for an efficient commuter car or a family-friendly model, this sedan will check all the boxes.
