Prius's MG2 drives the ring gear directly. OTOH, the MG2 of Camry hybrid drives the ring gear through a reduction gear as same as Highlander, RX 400h and GS 450h.
The max speed of the GS 450 is 250km/h, so it has two speed reduction gear to meet the wide speed range.

Does the Camry have a beltchain in the PSD like the Prius?
