Reviewers say that the four-cylinder engine and electric motor powering the 2016 Camry Hybrid produce plenty of power both for passing on the highway and accelerating away from a stop. Most critics say the transition between gas and electric power is exceptionally smooth, though some reviewers report a noticeable shimmy when the gasoline motor kicks in after a prolonged stop. A continuously variable transmission (automatic) is standard.
Fuel economy for the 2016 Camry Hybrid is fairly good for a hybrid, at 43/39 mpg city/highway, according to the EPA. The ride is exceptionally quiet and comfortable, test drivers say. Most find that the Camry has composed handling through turns, especially the SE trim. Some auto writers complain that the Camry Hybrid’s brakes are overly sensitive, however.
Interior Summary
The 2016 Camry Hybrid interior is made with mostly premium materials, critics say, and the front and rear seats are comfortable, even for tall adults. Trunk space in the Camry Hybrid is above average for hybrids in its class. Test drivers say the infotainment system's touch screen is smartly arranged and intuitive to use, and physical knobs make controlling volume and searching for stations easy.
The 2016 Camry Hybrid comes with a rearview camera, proximity key, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth, a USB port and Toyota’s Entune audio system with a 6.1-inch touch screen. Available features include a sunroof, an upgraded Entune system with navigation and smartphone app integration, a JBL audio system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, forward collision warning and blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert.
- "The Camry's longtime hold on the hybrid-midsize market is shrinking though, and new challengers, such as the Ford Fusion Hybrid, Honda Accord Hybrid and Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, have emerged in recent years, offering the similar promise of family-sedan practicality with hybrid-car fuel economy. Still, we think the Camry Hybrid remains worthy of your consideration, especially after major updates last year, including new styling, new trim levels, an enhanced interior, new features and an improved driving experience."
- "It looks better, it's more comfortable, and it rides better. It's just a shame Toyota didn't also take the opportunity to make some small but meaningful improvements to the powertrain and brakes. Still, if you're in the market for a Camry Hybrid, you'll find plenty to like about this one.(2015)
- "Newly invigorated, the 2015 Camry Hybrid merits strong consideration from shoppers looking for a comfortable, gas-sipping family car.
- "While the refreshed 2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid is an excellent stand-alone choice, it is far from the only game in town. The Ford Fusion Hybrid, Honda Accord Hybrid, Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, Kia Optima Hybrid, and Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid are all worthy contenders seeking the same buyer, and each approaches from a slightly different angle - the best in this very competitive segment is too subjective to call.
Other Cars to Consider
The Ford Fusion Hybrid gets very good fuel economy for a hybrid and critics like how smoothly it transitions between the gas engine and electric motor. For day-to-day driving, reviewers find the Fusion Hybrid produces quick acceleration and plenty of power.
The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid comes with a long list of features and has an attractive interior, critics say. They add that the ride is quiet and comfortable.
