Toyota Kirloskar Motor launches The All New Camry

kriloskarToyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM)  launched its The All New Camry – Camry Hybrid and Camry Gasoline, onApril 30, 2015, at New Delhi .

The All New Camry comes with an unmatched offering of luxury which has been designed to match the refined and ever evolving customers need for a luxury car. It has an essentially new exterior that creates an even more innovative, prestige appearance appropriate for luxury sedan.

Camry Hybrid comes with Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) powertrain. Camry Hybrid’s “full hybrid” powertrain combines the performance of a 2.5 litre Atkinson cycle four – cylinder gasoline engine and a high – torque electric motor.

The Camry Hybrid has a combined power (engine + motor) output of 205 PS coupled with leading – edge fuel economy of 19.16 kmpl* and 122.8 gm of CO2 emissions per km of driving, which is far lesser than the conventional vehicles of similar engine size. The Camry Hybrid comes with an Electronically Controlled Continuous Variable Transmission (E-CVT), which provides enhanced driving performance, with reduced fuel consumption and lower NVH.

The Camry Hybrid a full hybrid is a self charging vehicle, unlike an electric vehicle. When the vehicle decelerates or at the time of braking, the electric motor acts as a generator and converts the kinetic energy to electric energy in a process called regenerative braking. This energy is stored in Camry Hybrid’s HV battery pack for later use when needed to power the vehicle.

Taking luxury to the next level the Camry Hybrid provides an advanced air conditioning system with three – zone control, a pollen filter and break through nanoeTM water coated ion technology. It provides moisturizing benefits to occupants’ skin and hair and deodorizes the cabin.

The gasoline Camry was first introduced in 2002, in India. In 2012, TKM began locally manufacturing the gasoline Camry. Toyota marked an important milestone in the history of the Indian Auto Industry in 2013, with the launch of India’s first ever locally manufactured hybrid – Camry Hybrid. The launch of the New Camry Hybrid further reinforces Toyota’s belief in adopting “alternative motoring” as an answer to overcome carbon emission woes, in India and across the globe.

The All New Camry is available in seven vibrant colours – Dark Brown Mica Metallic, Attitude Black, Grey Metallic, White Pearl Crystal Shine, True Blue Mica Metallic (exclusive for Hybrid), Silver Metallic and Greyish Blue Mica Metallic (exclusive for Gasoline).

The All New Camry Hybrid is priced at Rs.31.92 Lakh (ex-showroom Delhi)

The All New Camry gasoline is priced at Rs.28.80 Lakh (ex-showroom Delhi)

During the launch Mr. Masato Katsumata, Chief Engineer, Camry , Toyota Motor Corporation said, “Camry is our Luxury flagship model, with an unmatched offering of luxury, space and value made possible by Toyota’s traditional strengths of quality, durability and reliability. With each new model we are constantly striving to make Camry even better and so it is constantly evolving – along with the changing needs of our customers – in order to give them the best.”

Mr. Naomi Ishii, Managing Director, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said; “Camry a symbol of Toyota’s prestige has been well received in India. We would like to thank the customers of Camry for its success in India. We have sold more than 8000 Camry since launch.   Camry Hybrid, India’s first ever locally manufactured Hybrid has also been well accepted. There is increased awareness and acceptance of Hybrid in the Indian market. Currently Camry hybrid constitutes 73% of total Camry sales.

Rising oil imports, road safety and increased pollution are some of the grave problems faced by  India. Environment-friendly vehicles will go a long way to remedy this. Hybrid vehicles can truly have a positive impact only if they are widely used. It is our endeavor to constantly educate and encourage the use of hybrid vehicles in India.

Also thanked the Government for initiating the FAME scheme, aimed to facilitate faster market creation and manufacturing eco system for environment friendly vehicles like hybrid and the recently notified demand incentives under FAME which stipulated upfront reduced purchase price at the time of purchase to buyers will give a boost to the demand and encourage faster adoption of these vehicles in India.
