If you’re looking for a hybrid in the form of a comfortable, roomy sedan, look no further than the Toyota Camry hybrid. The Toyota Camry hybrid is one of the most popular hybrid vehicles on the road and in some cases is difficult to source. Like the popular Lexus hybrid truck, this vehicle has won the hearts or enthusiasts and in some locales has a waiting list.

In our test case, we rented the Toyota Camry hybrid from a car rental agency, which in and of otself pays testimony to the decency of the car – if rental agencies buy them they msut be decent and expected to be durable and popular. (TIP: See the Orbitz! window in the sidebar for hybrid car rental details – they will search all available rental companies for the best possible rates on hybrid vehicles at your destination of choice.)

The Toyota Camry hybrid has so many great features and benefits it’s difficult to know where to start. Let us begin with the looks. The Toyota Camry hybrid has a sleek and modern look, while retaining the practical elements of roominess and mass appeal that the Camry is loved for. It looks great and the fact that it is a hybrid takes nothing away from it, unlike some other models in earlier times which tended to be odd or clunky looking compared to their non-hybrid counterparts.

Once you get into the Toyota Camry hybrid, you’ll find a classy and simple interior that in no way betrays that it is a hybrid. The vehicle feels solid and roomy, with all the finishings and features you might expect of a Camry. The only differences you’ll find in the Camry hybrid model is that the starter is different (a button rather than a key ignition) and the remarkable silence once the vehicle is started.

The Toyota Camry hybrid is so quiet it sometimes makes you wonder whether it is actually on, especially at first start. It takes a little getiing used to – in a good way! The car drives smoothly and does not seem to lack any power or pick-up as some hybrids tend to do. It is nice and agile, as well as bbeing good around corners and when braking.

Of course you might be wondering about the gas mileage in the Toyota Camry hybrid. We found it to be excellent – we drove around a major North American city for an entire weekend, including sojourns up mountains, outside of the city to surrounding tourist attractions and from one extreme end of hte city to the other several times, and only burned half a tank of gas.

Last but not least, of course you have the Toyota name behind the Toyota Camry hybrid, and this speaks volumes. The name Toyota has become synonymous with reliability and longevity, and the Camry model has been a perennial favorite of consumers worldwide. Offering a hybrid model of the Camry was a brilliant move and is sure to not only be appreciated by millions of customers but by our planet as well.
