A review of the 2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid has been posted over at the National Post. 'The Camry Hybrid is powered by Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive system, which the automaker calls the most proven gasoline-electric full hybrid system on the planet, having been installed in more than one million hybrid vehicles since its introduction in 1997. Under the sedan's sheetmetal is a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine mated to a high-torque electric motor/generator and powerful storage battery that delivers the equivalent of up to 187 horsepower. Admittedly, that's not much more than the 169-hp, 2.5L gas-powered four that's found in the LE, SE and XLE models, but the beauty of the Synergy Drive system is its electric motor, which delivers maximum torque (199 pound-feet from zero to 1,500 rpm) instantly.'
