Q: Camry Hybrid?
Info on the likes and dislikes of the new Toyota Camry Hybrid would be of interest. Is the mileage what they state? Is it powerful and quiet on the thruway? How would it perform going through the hills of West Virginia?
A: The Camry Hybrid has received some great reviews. It has plenty of power (192hp) and will have absolutely no problem handling the hills of West Virginia. Fuel efficiency is great (over 40mpg in the city). It’s more fuel efficient than the Accord Hybrid and it’s far less expensive.
Q: What type of gas does the camry hybrid run on regular or premium?
I am looking to get a camry hybrid and was wondering if regular vs premium would make a difference. Right now I have a acura tl and I have to use premium or it doesn’t get as many miles, looses power and makes a funny sound. With gas prices going so high I need a car that isn’t costing me over $3.50 a gallon for 21 miles.
A: Regular for camry hybrid.
Q: Whats the difference between the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid?
Whats the difference between the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid. The hybrid system, warranty, and performance. Do hybrids require special maintenance
A: One car is built by Toyota and the other one by Chevrolet
Q: What are the difference and improvements from 07 Camry hybrid to 2008?
It is late november of the year, our family is seriously considering between 2007 toyota camry hybrid and the 2008 model. Some friends told us the 2008 has better handling and engine, since it is a newer model. But, the price of 07 model is cheaper at this time of the year. So whats the improvement of 2008 model from 2007 model? And would a 08 model have a better value in the future?
A: The 2008 model is totally unchanged from the 2007 model.
The 2007 model has suffered from 20% depreciation.
Q: Wha’ts the difference between the Toyota Camry and the Camry Hybrid?
What’s the difference between a regular Toyota Camry and the Toyota Camry Hybrid? Which is the better buy?
A: Haha, I think I answered your question about the Corolla and Camry! 
-First off, when people think of Hybrib, MPG is the only thing on their mind. Not power, just the money to fill up a tank.
-This might be helpful: Here are the models of the Camry. LE, SE, XLE, and Hybrid. The are listed from lowest price to highest price.
-But anyways, the “REGULAR” 2008 Camry gets 21 MPG in the city and 31 on the highway. Those ratings go for the LE, SE, and XLE models.
-The next model is the 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid, which achieves 33 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on highways.
–Here’s some more info.
-The LE has a 2.4 L, 158 Horsepower engine with either 5 speed manual or 5 speed automatic transmission.
-The SE also has a 2.4 L, 158 Horsepower engine with either 5 speed manual or 5 speed automatic transmission.
-The XLE has a 3.5L V6, 24 valve, 268 horsepower engine with a 6 speed automatic transmission. This is the most loaded and power model.
-The HYBRID has a 2.4-liter, 147 horsepower engine along with an electric motor that creates combined output totaling 187 horsepower.
Q: does the camry hybrid come in different trims like LE or SE?
I’m looking to buy a camry and I would like a hybrid but I like the sporty SE body style better. Is there anyway I could just get the hybrid and get a body kit added on perhaps?
A: Hi,
The only difference in the Camry Hybrid is the type of additional options you want, there is no designation as the standard Camry has for LE, SE or XLE.
It would be possible to add a body kit, such as the SE, to the Hybrid version, but you would be defeating much of the purpose of the hybrid’s slightly modified body.
Little things add up to higher mileage. One example is the air diffusers in front of each tire that help break up the air that builds up in front of each tire and increase drag.
A body kit might drop too low to allow the diffusers to work and could increase air drag from the larger surface area of the lower spoilers.
Plus, the additional weight from the large spoiler kit would lower your mileage because increased mass in any vehicle makes the engine or drive system work harder and burn more fuel.
Now, this may not matter to you, you may be interested in the Camry Hybrid because of:
- it’s much lower emissions (less than almost every new vehicle on the road, including several hybrids)
- fewer moving parts and fewer parts in general (no starter, no alternator, no timing belt, no mechanical steering pump or steering belt, and the brake pads should never have to be replaced because of the regenerative braking motor)
- the much more advanced components that have replaced traditional parts (electric steering motor, LED lamps,
- the extreme reliability of the hybrid components (no owner has ever paid to replace a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) hybrid battery or electric component because of defects or failure in the nine, almost ten. years Toyota has had hybrids in the US)
Higher mpg than many small vehicles may just be a side benefit.
Good luck and enjoy your choice, whichever way you go. If you decide to do the body kit, let me know, I’d like to have that info for my files.
Q: What is the down payment of a Camry Hybrid?
Lately, I’ve been looking at some cars I’m interested in.I’ve tried to find the 50% down payment of a Camry Hybrid but i just can’t find it. Also how much are monthly payments and how long will it take to pay off the car?
A: Some people can walk into a car dealership and buy a car with no money down, others need a hefty downpayment. It all depends on your credit rating. Your monthly payments depend on your credit rating and how much you put down and how many years you are going to take the loan for as well.
I purchased a new Jeep once without putting a dime down. The last new car i bought i put down around $3000. As i said it depends all on you and your personal situation.
One thing, the more money you put down, the less you have to borrow and the quicker you will have the car paid off.
Q: How can I mod or make my 2008 camry hybrid look better or more like a sports car?
I have a silver Toyota Camry hybrid and I really want to make it look more like a sports car or something better. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
A: Honestly, You can’t. Camry’s mods are like Jewish Nazis, you just cant have both of them. Sell it and buy a Celica.
Q: How can I improve the trunk springs on my 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid?
The trunk lid on my 2007 Camry Hybrid won’t stay up when opened while the car is parked facing uphill. This is a real problem where I live when unloading groceries, etc. Does anyone know how to make the springs stronger?
A: There should be replaceable hydraulic cylinders on either side, they snap in and out. Go to the auto parts store and tell them what they are for.
Q: what buying motives and influences would customer have purchasing camry hybrid?
I want to buy the camry hybrid but I have a few qualms. I tried looking on google but i find it a little hard to get the things i want. What motives and influences should I have while deciding to purchase the toyota camry hybrid?
A: Only you can answer this because the choice to buy a hybrid is a individual choice.
Your motives should be that you need reliable transportation, you want to save money on fuel and you want to make the world a greener place by lessening your carbon footprint.
If you drive over 12,000 miles a year and you keep your car until it falls apart, then a Camry Hybrid could be a good option for you.
Right now is a good time to purchase a Camry Hybrid in the USA because the price of gas is down and the overall car sales market is down.
Once the price of gas goes back up, the demand goes up, and your opportunity to get a great deal disappears.
Q: Are there any problems with the Camry Hybrid battery in the winter?
I live in a cold state and am currently looking to purchase a Camry hybrid. Is the hybrid battery different than a regular car battery? Will this car have any trouble starting in really cold weather?
I would love to hear from someone who owns a Camry hybrid and lives in a state with cold winters
A: ccgriffen1972 has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. I have owned Toyota hybrids, which all use the same NiMH battery, since 2002. There are many, many Toyota hybrids in Minnesota, which is one of our coldest states, and no one up there has ever reported a problem starting, and many of THEM were parked outside all winter long. The batteries are extremely versatile, and are well protected by the hybrid system. The Toyota hybrids scavenge the air (heated or cooled) from the passenger cabin and they stay at whatever temperature the cabin is. In the Prius, if the battery gets too hot, the hybrid system will turn the A/C on to cool it, overriding whatever the driver has set. The hybrid system is very good at protecting itself.
One other thing that you have to remember – all Toyota hybrids have TWO batteries installed. One is the big high voltage, or traction, battery that you read so much about. That one is made up of Nickel Metal Hydrid, or NiMH. There has never been a failure of that battery under normal use.
The other battery is gel-type lead acid battery, similar to many other 12V batteries. That is the one that is used to start up the system and run the accessories if the hybrid system is not engaged. In other words, that is the battery that runs your radio, or whatever, while are sitting there without the hybrid system turned on. It is no more more susceptable to cold than any other lead acid battery in any other car in the world. In other words, as it gets older, you have to look at replacing it, just like you always did.
That is NOT true about the traction battery. No one is quite sure WHEN they are going to start failing, and they have been put in Toyota hybrids since 1997. Remember, not one failure from normal use in all of the many hundreds of thousands of Toyota hybrids out there.
To go further, I have found that my Toyota hybrids have started BETTER than conventional cars, not worse. Like I said, the other answerer has no clue about what he is talking about.
Check out http://john1701a.com . He has owned a Toyota hybrid since the very beginning and has chronicled his ownership in exhaustive detail. The Prius he has owned use the exact same NiMH battery that the Camry Hybrid does, and he lives in Minnesota.
I should add that NiMH batteries in the Toyota hybrids LOVE cold temperatures, and are usually much more concerned with keeping cool rather than getting warm. They generate PLENTY of warmth when they operate.
Q: how many miles does it take to break in the engine for 2008 camry hybrid?
just bought a 2008 camry hybrid, coming up on 800 miles. i have not pushed the car past 65-70 mph.
A: Toyota runs the motors at the factory and brakes them in before sending them out.
There is really no break in needed.
Q: How do I input a hard pause when entering a phone number into the phone book on the 2007 Camry Hybrid?
New 2007 Camry Hybrid has bluetooth technology and has a main navigation and information screen. This screen allows the user to transfer phone numbers form a cell phone into the phone book or enter them in by hand, using the touch screen. When entering the phone numbers into the phone book does this system allow the user to utilize a hard-pause, which would give the ability to enter additional numbers to be sent after the phone call is connected. i.e. passwords, calling cards, extensions, etc…
A: toyota help line 1800-331-4331
