2010 Toyota Camry 4-door HYBRID Sedan
KELLEY BLUE BOOK REVIEW
Overview
KBB Editors' Overview
The 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid uses the Hybrid Synergy Drive system which, like the Prius, employs a frugal four-cylinder engine teamed with a powerful electric motor. Unlike the Prius, the Camry Hybrid does not stand out in a crowd, an important difference for the eco-friendly driver who prefers to remain anonymous. In fact, about the only noticeable differences between the Camry Hybrid and its gasoline-powered equivalent are a smaller trunk (due to the placement of the battery pack), a slightly smaller fuel tank and the obvious Hybrid Synergy Drive badges.

| If you care as much about reducing greenhouse emissions as saving fuel, then driving a 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid is one way to appease your social conscience while still providing your family with a roomy and comfortable car. The Camry's strong resale value carries over to the hybrid version as well. | With highway fuel economy figures nearly identical to its city numbers, those who do more highway driving may have a difficult time rationalizing the car's nearly $7,000 premium over the equally-frugal four-cylinder Camry. |
What's Significant about this Car?
The Camry Hybrid receives a modest freshening, with a new grille and wider lower air intake, new front fog lights and restyled 16-inch wheels. Inside, the Camry Hybrid receives a new meter cluster and seats made from a combination of silk protein and synthetic fiber, which Toyota claims is gentler to the skin.
