Toyota Kirloskar Motor Launched Its New Camry hybrid In India At Ex-Showroom Price Of Rs 48 Lakh

While it is the most expensive Camry to be launched in India to date — Rs 1.2 lakh more than the previous model — the company claims a fuel efficiency of 25.49 kmpl, up from 19.1 kmpl claimed by the previous generation Camry hybrid.

The car will be available for booking now, with deliveries starting soon as the cars are in transit to the dealerships, the company said. As the company launched its 5th generation hybrid technology amid rising demand for electric vehicles (EV), Vikram Gulati, country head and senior VP, Toyota Kiskoskar Motor said: “Clearly the trend is towards sustainable mobility and cleaner technologies. Globally, last year hybrids sales grew by 33 per cent and EV sales grew by 31-32 per cent; so basically neck and neck. In the Indian context, there is a huge space out there that needs to be addressed. About 95 per cent of the market continues to be fossil fuel-based. Going forward, we feel that many technologies, either electric or biofuel, are going to be very relevant in our pursuit of green mobility and decarbonisation.”

Powered by Toyota’s 5th Generation Hybrid Technology with a high-capacity lithium-ion battery, the car has an upgraded 2.5L Dynamic Force Engine delivering 221 Nm of torque at 3200 rpm.

It is paired with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (e-CVT), which offers multiple driving modes — Sport, Eco, and Normal — to suit all driving styles and conditions.

Additionally, Toyota’s 5th Generation Hybrid Technology System, features a high-capacity Li-ion battery that can generate a maximum power of 169kW (230 PS).

Speaking at the launch, Masakazu Yoshimura, chairman, managing director and chief executive officer, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said: “India remains a crucial market, and our product strategy aligns with India’s national priorities to lower the carbon emissions and achieve energy security goals. Towards this, we have embraced the adoption of multiple-pathway approach to drive clean mobility and promote mass electrification with greater agility and speed. The introduction of the All-New Camry Hybrid Electric Vehicle being a green mobility offering, will continue to further strengthen our contributions toward building a futuristic carbon-free, happy society.”
