Lastly, Toyota plans to offer a hybrid version of the 2012 Camry, a model which uses a 2.5-liter Atkinson engine together with an electric motor for a total output of 200 horsepower. This new powertrain will make the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h possible in 7,6 seconds while the fuel figures spins around 41mpg combined.
