Toyota Kirloskar Motor has received more than 400 bookings for the 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It had launched the tenth-gen model on 18 January 2019.
By the 1st of February, TKM had already gathered more than 200 bookings for the 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid. As of today, it has sold more than 130 units. That’s a decent start for the mid-size sedan, which costs a whopping INR 37.50 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It is worth noting that this is the introductory price.
The 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid is cheaper than the previous generation Honda Accord Hybrid that costs INR 43.21 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), but it’s very expensive compared to the VW Passat and Skoda Superb which are priced from INR 25.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
The 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid employs the A25A-FXS 2.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 178 PS and 221 Nm of torque. This engine is assisted by the 3NM electric motor generating 120 PS and 202 Nm of torque.
The electric motor stores energy in a 244.8 V 6.5 Ah Nickel-metal hydride battery pack mounted under the rear seat. In some markets, such as the USA for instance, configurations equipped with a 259.0 V 4.0 Ah Lithium-ion battery pack instead are also available. The Lithium-ion battery pack is lighter and delivers a higher fuel economy.
