2023 Toyota Camry Hybrid: The Perfect Camry?

The latest generation Toyota Camry made its debut back in 2017. While the latest generation of Camry is likely getting near the end of its life, this current Camry could be the most interesting of the modern era. Sure, it’s not as fun as the rear-drive Camry sedans of yore, but it does live up to the edict set by Akio Toyoda of “no more boring cars.” Blending wild styling with a potent V6 does make the Camry a relatively fun machine that can handle your daily grind. Though, if you want to skip the horsepower and focus on efficiency, Toyota has made the Camry Hybrid available across the trim lines. That means you can nab a high-trim Camry XSE. Powering this Camry is Toyota’s 2.5-liter Atkinson that’s mated to a CVT, with an electric motor helping the system along. Combined, the system is good for 208 hp. On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of Toyota’s latest Camry Hybrid and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the Toyota and highlights its exterior styling and interior features. Wren also takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to the show, Wren chats with Patrick Carone about the Toyota Camry, the hybrid powertrain and how it feels in daily use. Closing the show the pair break down what makes the Toyota Camry Hybrid special.
