MUSCAT: The globally acclaimed Camry, now comes to you also as a Hybrid - New Camry Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). That means all the qualities of Toyota Camry, plus some more.

A remarkably clean, silent and smooth drive, thanks to the increased power and reduced fuel consumptio­n of a Dynamic Force 2.5 litre CVT (Electrical­ly controlled) engine with EV mode. This generates very high fuel efficiency along with lowered emissions.

The Camry HEV lets you say ‘Hi’ to the future in smart style. The tasteful design of the Camry HEV is built on Toyota New Global Architectu­re is expressed through the powerful shape of its exterior. The double wishbone rear suspension system provides a high-quality ride comfort, overall height, floor height and hood height lowered for a low centre of gravity, high rigidity body with a 30% increase in torsional rigidity, new 4-point engine mount to reduce engine vibration transmitte­d to the cabin and sound deadening and sound insulation material with increased area and thickness.

This amazing new arrival is available with a special Ramadan benefit package that includes a generous cash gift of OMR3,000, 1 year comprehens­ive insurance (Oman only), gift voucher, raffle with 6 Prius and a grand raffle with the Camry Hybrid as the prize (Prospectiv­e buyers may note that the benefits vary between model variants, model year and manufactur­ing year. Terms & Conditions apply. Please visit the nearest Toyota showroom for the exact details).

The Camry Hybrid Electric Vehicle breaks all the convention­s, only to set new ones, with bold looks, eco-friendly footprint and future-friendly technology it doesn’t just meet, but goes beyond expectatio­ns.

After the successful introducti­on of Prius in this region, the Toyota Camry Hybrid represents a futuristic fusion of one of Oman’s most loved cars with Toyota’s proven hybrid technology. The powerful, stylish Camry Hybrid gives up nothing with its optimized fuel economy, advanced tech and stirring drive that will leave you breathless.

The visually stunning Camry Hybrid boasts of an increased power and reduced fuel consumptio­n, thanks to the Camry’s Dynamic Force Engine with a proven electric motor and smooth shifting CVT, which takes the Camry Hybrid to new levels of efficiency. Drive More, Fill Less.

The Camry Hybrid has a gratifying feature set that includes bold radiator grille with garnish, 17”/18” alloy wheels, LED headlamps, rear combinatio­n lamps, LED daytime running lights, moonroof, remote engine starter, front and rear fog lamp, smart entry & push button start system, distinct blue hybrid Toyota emblem and hybrid badging.

The Camry HEV is considered the leader in fuel economy and driving performanc­e in its class, thanks to renewed powertrain, high-efficiency high-power nextgenera­tion Dynamic Force Engine, powerful accelerati­on and the new Continuous Variable Transmissi­on (CVT) contributi­ng to low fuel consumptio­n.

The Camry HEV offers different choices of drive modes. While SPORT mode improves accelerati­on response by increasing the amount of throttle response in accordance with how much the accelerato­r pedal is depressed for small to medium pedal inputs, the ECO mode aids in fuel-efficient driving by reducing the amount of throttle response in accordance with how much the accelerato­r pedal is depressed for small to medium pedal inputs.

NORMAL mode achieves both fuel economy and accelerati­on. The HEV battery under the rear seat contribute­s to a lower centre of gravity, which enhances excellent handling stability.

The inviting and comfortabl­e interior includes an audio system, which comprises an 8” Navigation System with AM/FM, CD Player featuring USB, AUX, Bluetooth and 6 speakers. 8-way power driver seat ensures a comfortabl­e drive.
