The 8th Generation Toyota camry is definitely about design be it on the outside or the inside. its aggressive looks, good build

quality, comfort and performance make this sedan a worthy contender against the likes of skoda superb, honda accord hybrid

and volkswagen passat.

how doeS it drive?

I still remember my impression of
having driven the previous generation.
It was quite decent on performance and
most importantly it was environment-
friendly. The latter being the need of the
hour, the 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid
features a new TNGA (Toyota New
Global Architecture) platform which
ensures that you’re just not chauffer
driven but can also take the wheel to
do your own thing. The eagerness of
this 2.5-litre petrol engine working
in tandem with a nickel-metal hybrid
battery ensures that the performance
is improved than before. Plus, the
inclusion of a CVT gearbox with paddle
shifts does well to provide perfect
shifts. In addition to that, there are 3
driving modes namely, Eco, Normal
and Sports. Though the response is best
obtained in Normal or Sports Mode.
As for the ride quality, the updated
platform ensures that going over
potholes and broken surfaces is an
easy affair.
