The hybrid is still a Camry, but now with a twist. Even the best efforts of the team at Toyota Style have done little to change the overall look of the car, apart from a slightly more aggressive nose with blue headlamps. Inside, the big change is the loss of the tacho, in favour of a green driving monitor, and a TFT screen with familiar Prius driving readouts. First up, the Camry hybrid has a silent start. And you move away under battery power, although the car will only go two kilometres before it needs a top-up. It feels a little firmer in the suspension, particularly over broken bitumen, and there is a familiar whirring sound under brakes as the generator works to recover energy for the batteries. Overall, the car feels a lot quieter and a little tauter. But it's a matter of degrees, not a wholesale change. And the loss of boot space will be significant for families, even if Toyota says it will still carry four sets of golf clubs.
