The Toyota Camry Hybrid is the next new product launch for Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM). We earlier reported saying that the Camry Hybrid would be launched sometime in the period of September this year.

We can now affirm that Toyota India is indeed considering a launch during that period.

The company has planned pre-launch programs for the Camry Hybrid, and events are to begin in mid-August.

We can estimate that the car would be launched within a month of pre-launch programmes and would cost about Rs 35 lakh.

India will get the Thai-spec Camry Hybrid (and not the American version) which is powered by the same 2.5-litre petrol engine as that of the regular Camry.

However, an electric motor would be providing additional assistance taking the overall power output to 200bhp!

A Toyota e-CVT gearbox would send this power to the front wheels and the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive system would control the power management.
