2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid SE Video Review

So you want a Toyota Camry Hybrid, but wish there was a version of it that had some sporting appeal? Well, Toyota has the solution to your problem. With the 2015 Camry lineup, Toyota has introduced a sporty trim level for the hybrid, dubbed the 2015 Camry Hybrid SE.

The SE version of the Camry Hybrid follows the same formula that Toyota uses on the standard Camry SE. This means a new front grille treatment, seventeen-inch alloy wheels, and rear decklid spoiler for the exterior. Inside is a unique seat fabric that looks almost like it came from an alien spaceship, as well as aluminum trim pieces. Standard equipment for the SE includes a backup camera, dual-zone climate control system, Toyota's Entune infotainment system, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Power comes from Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive, which pairs a 2.5L four-cylinder and a 105kW electric motor to produce a combined output of 200 horsepower. A continuously variable transmission gets all 200 horsepower to the front wheels. Fuel economy for the Camry Hybrid SE is rated at 40 City/38 Highway/40 combined. Toyota has also fitted the Camry Hybrid SE with a new sport suspension to give it a more competitive edge.

How much for the 2015 Camry Hybrid SE? Toyota says the model starts off a $27,995. Competitors to the Camry Hybrid SE include the Honda Accord Hybrid and Ford Fusion Hybrid.
