So everyone knows that hybrids generally get better mileage than conventional vehicles, that’s why every company around is clamoring to follow the path of the Prius. But what some people don’t always consider is that there’s a lot more to hybrids than the MPGs. Your Elmhurst Area Toyota dealer gives you a thorough look at the 2014 Camry Hybrid XLE.

 

Let’s State the Obvious

We can’t just ignore the fact that the Camry Hybrid gives you the same comfort and quality you’ve come to rely on as well as a combined 40 miles per gallon.

 

The Engine

Now that’s out of the way, we can talk about the engine itself and how a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine works with Toyota’s hybrid system to generate up to 200 horsepower while severely dropping the car’s emissions. Let’s talk a about the MacPherson struts in the front and rear with gas-filled shock absorbers to ensure a smooth, quiet ride.

 

Safety

While we’re at it, we can talk about the power-assisted ventilated disc brakes that are aided by an electronic braking system, vehicle stability, and traction control. Oh, and the ten airbag system to protect the driver and passengers with front, knee, and side curtain airbags.

 

Icing on the Cake

Most of all, when we look past the high MPGs, we also find dual-zone automatic climate control, Toyota’s Entune Audio Plus, including a 6.1-inch touchscreen display for AM/FM, CD/MP3, SiriusXM, and iPod connection. And for good measure, there’s a backup camera with an available blind spot and rear cross-traffic alert system.
