2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid

While most people like to believe the sedan is dead, there are a few iconic midsize models in the USA that refuse to throw in the towel. Also available as a hybrid, the Toyota Camry is one such holdout. You know exactly what you're getting when you buy a Camry: handsome styling, a large interior, decent ride and handling, and, in the case of the hybrid, exceptional fuel economy. The 2022 Camry Hybrid LE has EPA-estimated consumption figures of 51/53/52 mpg city/highway/combined, which isn't far off the best that the Toyota Prius can manage. That means you can have more space and luxury without sacrificing too much in terms of fuel consumption. Toyota's sedan doesn't have this segment all to itself, however. The Honda Accord Hybrid also makes a compelling case for itself, but the Camry hits back with inherent reliability and a 2.5L four-cylinder hybrid powertrain developing a total of 208 horsepower.

The Camry has never been as good as it is right now, especially in hybrid guise. It gets so close to the Prius's figures that you can't help but question the continued existence of the latter. Still, as mentioned earlier, the Camry doesn't compete in a segment of one. It may have a more efficient hybrid engine, but the Accord hits back in the ride and handling department. However, since this segment is mostly about low fuel consumption, the Camry may be the better vehicle.

To be frank, the differences between these two cars are so minor that it doesn't really matter. Both are great, which brings us back to the original question. Even a cursory review of the Camry Hybrid proves that it is a good car and well worth your attention if you're looking for a value hybrid sedan.

The LE Hybrid is the most affordable and most frugal model available, and it comes with an MSRP of $27,380. The SE trim will cost you $28,915, while the new SE Nightshade Edition retails for $29,615. The XLE starts at $32,270 and the top-spec XSE starts at $32,820. The price of the Toyota Camry Hybrid does not include tax, registration, or the $1,025 destination fee. However, hybrids are often offered with incentives in the US.
