2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid

Drivers who place a premium on fuel efficiency can opt for the 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid, which achieves 33 miles per gallon in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, thanks to its 147-horsepower, 2.4-liter hybrid engine. The hybrid engine consists of an electric motor as well as a traditional gas-powered engine.

The Camry Hybrid also comes equipped with a number of hybrid-related systems, including a Hybrid Suspension and Hybrid Brakes. Vehicle Stability Control with traction control, and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (ECVT) are also part of the package.

Other standard features include remote keyless entry, a three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift lever, Sport fabric seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat, Blue Optitron instrument gauges, and a six-speaker AM/FM audio system with MP3 capability.

Drivers and reviewers give the Camry good marks for its interior comfort, safety features, handling, economy, and ease of handling, as well as its exterior styling and build quality. Some have reported an increase in quality issues in the past few years, but given the fact that the Camry holds its value well, the 2009 version should be as popular with drivers as its predecessors.
