There are now three engine and transmission choices with the Camry, four if you count the partial-zero emissions (PZEV) engine sold in so-called green states such as California, and five if you count the Hybrid Synergy Drive gasoline/electric drivetrain. Engine choices start with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder power plant that makes 158 horsepower (PZEV models do 155) at 6,000 rpm, and generates 161 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm (PZEV versions produce 158). The bigger news comes with Toyota’s marvelous 3.5-liter V6 engine, making 268 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and kicking up a cloud of torque that measures 248 lb.-ft. at 4,700 rpm. This is an astonishing 78 horsepower better than the outgoing 190-horsepower V6 engine, and fuel efficiency is slightly better, up to 22 city/33 highway miles per gallon.
