　　The Toyota Camry Hybrid is a four-door sedan and one of the most fuel-efficient cars on the road. Getting around 50 mpg in combined city/highway driving shouldn't be too much trouble unless you're one to treat your commutes and errands as time trials for a Formula One race. On top of its fuel-sipping, the Camry Hybrid delivers all of the positive attributes of the regular Camry, including roomy and comfortable seats and an easy-to-drive nature.

　　Avg. Midsize Car

　　While some automakers are dropping sedans from their lineups in favor of SUVs, there are still a handful of hybrid sedans available. Notably, there's Toyota's new Crown, which is larger and more powerful than the Camry but respectably fuel-efficient. Toyota has also released the redesigned Prius for 2023, and it boasts stylish looks and even better fuel economy. Honda is out with a new hybrid-powered Accord too. The Camry Hybrid is a bit of a wallflower among this set but could be worth a look if you just want a simple sedan with high mpg.

Performance

7.0/10

　　How does the Camry Hybrid drive? There's goodness in broad swaths with the Camry Hybrid. The sedan's power is decent in day-to-day use. In our testing, we measured a 0-60 mph time of about 8 seconds, which is slightly better than average for a midsize hybrid sedan.

　　Hybrid performance is smooth and care-free. Braking is predictable and very usable in everyday applications, and the low-rolling-resistance tires, which are common in this class, also provide average braking distances. Steering and handling are decent for the class. Overall, it's acceptable from a performance standpoint, but day-to-day commuting is its main strength.

　　

Comfort

8.0/10

　　How comfortable is the Camry Hybrid? Comfort is where any midsize sedan should shine and the Camry Hybrid does just that. The climate control creates a welcome environment, and the seating comfortably accommodates a range of body types. The optional ventilated seats are a boon in warmer climates, and there's very little noise in the cabin coming from wind or the road at highway speeds.

　　Our only nitpick is the XLE Hybrid's ride comfort. It's great around town but can sometimes feel overly buoyant at highway speeds. The extra weight of the hybrid system is evident.
