JAMMU, May 1: Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) today launched The All New Camry – Camry Hybrid and Camry Gasoline.
The All New Camry comes with an unmatched offering of luxury. It has been designed to match the refined and ever evolving customers need for a luxury car. The All New Camry has an essentially new exterior that creates an even more innovative, prestige appearance appropriate for luxury sedan.
Camry Hybrid comes with Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) power train. Camry Hybrid’s “full hybrid” power train combines the performance of a 2.5 litre Atkinson cycle four – cylinder gasoline engine and a high – torque electric motor.
The Camry Hybrid has a combined power (engine + motor) output of 205 PS coupled with leading – edge fuel economy of 19.16 kmpl* and 122.8 gm of CO2 emissions per km of driving. The Camry Hybrid comes with an Electronically Controlled Continuous Variable Transmission (E-CVT), which provides enhanced driving performance, with reduced fuel consumption and lower NVH.
The Camry Hybrid is a self charging vehicle, unlike an electric vehicle. When the vehicle decelerates or at the time of braking, the electric motor acts as a generator and converts the kinetic energy to electric energy in a process called regenerative braking. This energy is stored in Camry Hybrid’s HV battery pack for later use when needed to power the vehicle.
Taking luxury to the next level the Camry Hybrid provides an advanced air conditioning system with three – zone control, a pollen filter and break through nanoeTM water coated ion technology.
Speaking on the occasion of the launch, Masato Katsumata, Chief Engineer, Camry, Toyota Motor Corporation said, “Camry is our Luxury flagship model, with an unmatched offering of luxury, space and value made possible by Toyota’s traditional strengths of quality, durability and reliability.
Naomi Ishii, Managing Director, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “Camry, a symbol of Toyota’s prestige, has been well received in India. We would like to thank the customers of Camry for its success in India. We have sold more than 8000 Camry since launch. Camry Hybrid, India’s first ever locally manufactured Hybrid has also been well accepted.”
