The Camry remains an all-around all-star, though we're not certain if going hybrid-only is a good call or not. It gives Toyota green-marketing cred but some folks might be hesitant due to concerns over higher maintenance costs.

Powertrain aside, the Camry still isn't on performance par with the Honda Accord, but for daily driving it is very, very good. If sportiness matters less to you than a smooth ride, quiet cabin, large trunk, and ease of use, the Camry shows why it is perennially at or near the top of the mid-size sedan class.

That's not to say the Camry's driving dynamics are bad -- they aren't. And they are much improved from previous generations. It's just that the enthusiast's choice is probably still the Accord.

Otherwise, the Camry does what mid-size sedans are supposed to do and does it well. Time was us snarky, cynical auto journalists frowned on the Camry for being beige, bland daily transport. That time is over -- while those who emphasize sport may shop elsewhere, the rest of us would be plenty happy in the current Camry.

FAQs

What kind of engine does this car have, and do I need to do anything special to drive it?

No special training needed. It runs on a 2.5-liter Dynamic Force 4-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor and a CVT (continuously variable transmission), producing 208 horsepower. It drives just like a regular automatic, the hybrid system manages itself.

How fuel-efficient is it? Will I save money on gas?

Yes, noticeably so. The XLE Hybrid is EPA-estimated at 44 city/47 highway/46 combined MPG. For a rental, this means fewer fuel stops and lower refueling costs compared to a standard sedan.

Does the hybrid battery need to be charged like an electric vehicle?

No. The battery is a sealed lithium-ion pack that charges itself through the engine and regenerative braking - you never plug it in. Just fill the gas tank as normal.

How many passengers can it comfortably seat?

The Camry XLE Hybrid comfortably seats five passengers. The rear seats include individual air vents, making it a good choice for group travel.
