This new look is courtesy of the front grille with the dual chrome slats layout. The grille extends down horizontally after overlining the sweptback headlamps to give the car a mean looking character. This version is already launched in Australia and Indonesia, at a price of around Rs. 22 lac.

Adding 60bhp to the setup will be an electric motor, coupled in Toyota’s Hybrid system II. The efficiency of the car is claimed at 33kmpl in the Japanese market.

Toyota Camry Hybrid
Toyota will also bring the Hybrid avatar of its Camry sedan at the Auto Expo. The car is currently being sold in the country at a price tag of Rs. 32.2 lac (ex-showroom, New Delhi). Advantages of owning a Hybrid this time in India are immense, especially in Delhi. Not only does the hybrid technology enables the car to drive benefits from the FAME scheme, but is also exempted from the odd-even rule of the Delhi Government.
