    We got a Camry. It's one of the best. ours got over 200 K on the clock and its very economical car to own. We would love to go to the 2022 model.

    They are such a nice car I have a 2019 Corolla hybrid I did have a lease 2020 Toyota Camry ascent sport hybrid last earlier this year it was a beautiful car too
    I found use a good quality fuel like bp or shell to sorta reduce the swap from hybrid to petrol that’s what I found don’t ever use e10 in them

    221Nm is the torque from the engine alone. The electric motor has a max torque of 202 Nm, but Toyota never really publishes combined torque for their hybrids.

    • @JasonISF

      I can tell you it feels as 'torquey' as an old school big 6 cylinder Aussie sedan.

    Any input on camry petrol (only comes in base spec), it had 60km fuel tank, more torque, full size spare plus automatic gearbox compare to d cvt tht comes on hybrid. I haven't found any reviews on the marginalised petrol. Can u plz review that model? I no it misses out on Dual zone climate control n Keyless start, it is $3k less than hybrid, it would tk 5 yrs to achieve breakeven to get $3k saving lol

    Great review mate. God knows y ppl judge Camry which is so good. However its priced same as Rav4 cruiser hybrid and that makes me choose rav4 over this gorgeous sedan. (more bang for ur buck as u get more ground clearance n get more vertical cargo space). Would like to know ur thoughts on this comparison. I'm looking to buy one in near future (considering between camry sport n rav4 gxl 2wd) 👀

    Run for the hills and stay away from Camry. I have 2019 Carmy and its one of the worst cars I've ever had. Start with the dash that has split in two and a transmission that is about to implode from the horrible hard shifting and unnecessary overy revving under normal driving. Cheap Cheap Cheap.
