Toyota - make things better

Four cylinder or V6 – we've got the best fuel efficiency in both classes.

Toyota wrote the book on fuel efficiency with its trailblazing hybrid technology. The Camry has rewritten it with best-in-class fuel efficiency on a non-hybrid vehicle.

We literally took the car apart to find ways to save fuel. For instance:

  • We made the under body of the Camry as aerodynamic as the top to reduce drag.
  • We increased the tire pressure to decrease rolling resistance, even giving you a tire pressure monitor to help you keep an eye on fuel consumption.
  • More obvious but no less fuel-thrifty, we lowered the overall weight of the car, which had the added benefit of improving acceleration.

In Camry's book, great fuel efficiency and stellar performance should go hand in hand.

Brilliant Thought #981: Actually explaining what we mean by best-in-class fuel efficiency.

The term is used liberally in our industry, which can cause confusion. So just to clarify: When we say the Camry offers best-in-class fuel efficiency, we're talking apples to apples. We're comparing each engine type in the intermediate segment – 4-cylinder against 4-cylinder; V6 against V6; hybrid against hybrid. And yes, we offer best-in-class fuel efficiency in all of them.
