New Camry Hybrid Introduced In Canada

Japanese automaker Toyota has been producing fuel efficient vehicles even before the hybrid era.  And with the Prius, they have cemented their name at the top of the list of green car makers. The Prius though is not the only green car in Toyota's lineup.  There's also the Camry Hybrid which was named as the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada's Canadian Car of the Year. And why is the Camry Hybrid chosen as the best car in Canada?  Well, it has the fuel efficiency that other cars can only dream of, and it has the performance to back that up.
And with the coming of the new model year, the 2008 Camry Hybrid is ready to once again wow consumers and critics alike.  The newest version of the Camry Hybrid was recently introduced in the Canadian auto market by Toyota Canada.  According to theautochannel.com, the new Camry Hybrid "once again delivers all the performance, style, quality and comfort that Canadians demand, with exceptionally low emissions and superb fuel efficiency."
With its hybrid powertrain, the Camry Hybrid produces less greenhouse gases than conventional vehicles even those equipped with Audi oxygen sensor.  The powertrain is essentially composed of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The internal combustion engine or ICE runs on gasoline but it has some emission filtration technologies which reduces the amount of potentially harmful gas emitted by the car. The electric motor on the other hand is powered by the car's battery pack which is in turn recharged by the engine and during braking.  The combination of these two powerplant allows the electric motor to ease the load on the ICE which means that during light load and low speed operation, the car does not consume any petroleum fuel.
The fuel efficiency and performance of the Toyota Camry Hybrid has already attracted the attention of many Canadian auto buyers. Tony Wearing, managing director of Toyota Canada said that they have seen an increase in the demand for the fuel thrifty Camry Hybrid.  "We are thrilled that Canadians have embraced the Camry Hybrid," said Mr. Wearing.  "The Camry Hybrid has accounted for almost 20% of all Canadian Camry line sales in the first 7 months of this year.  As Canadian drivers are discovering, the Camry Hybrid delivers more than just great fuel efficiency and a fraction of the tailpipe emissions of a conventional automobile. It's also big on performance thanks to smooth and powerful hybrid acceleration and Toyota's top of the line vehicle dynamics and control technologies."
The 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid is now available in Canada with a starting price of $32,000.
