Toyota Camry Hybrid Review
2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid
Price Range: $25,200 - $26,150

Handling
The Toyota Camry Hybrid and the average midsize sedan have about similar tires. With their comparable turning radiuses, the Camry Hybrid and the average midsize sedan definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Camry Hybrid and the typical midsize sedan have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the typical midsize sedan. The typical midsize sedan packs quite a punch compared to the Camry Hybrid when it comes to torque, which is roughly equivalent to acceleration. Torque equals pickup, and the typical midsize sedan will have picked up and gone by the time the Camry Hybrid finally gets moving.

Utility
The Toyota Camry Hybrid and the typical midsize sedan can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Convenience
You will quite certainly have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the typical midsize sedan than with the Camry Hybrid.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the typical midsize sedan offers a bit more head room than the Toyota Camry Hybrid, there honestly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Camry Hybrid provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the typical midsize sedan, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The Camry Hybrid is quite a bit more ponderous than the typical midsize sedan. The Toyota Camry Hybrid's tank is roughly the same size as the typical midsize sedan's, though the typical midsize sedan's is a bit larger. The Toyota Camry Hybrid and the average midsize sedan compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Toyota Camry Hybrid to the dealership as the average midsize sedan. The typical midsize sedan pales in comparison to the Toyota Camry Hybrid regarding gas mileage. Producing an exact gas mileage evaluation is so tough that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Toyota Camry Hybrid is the winner in terms of fuel economy. In terms of MSRP, the Toyota Camry Hybrid costs markedly more than the typical midsize sedan. As far as final cost, the typical midsize sedan costs substantially less than the Toyota Camry Hybrid. The typical midsize sedan will cost you a bunch of money in gas every year compared to the Toyota Camry Hybrid.

Overview
The basic warranty that comes with the Toyota Camry Hybrid isn't quite as generous as the typical midsize sedan's.

Other
The Toyota Camry Hybrid emits fewer smog-forming pollutants per 15,000 miles than the typical midsize sedan.
