Hybrid Camry shunning fuel economy for performance
Quote:
|
Green Car Congress is reporting that the upcoming Toyota Camry Hybrid may be shipped with the same hybrid powertrain found in the Highlander Hybrid. The Highlander’s hybrid powertrain couples the company’s 3.3L V6 with a 123kW motor to produce a peak 268 combined horsepower. The author of the article interprets this as a sign that Toyota, and the industry as a whole, is more focused on the performance potential of hybrids than their ability to maximize fuel efficiency.
