Not all Camrys are hybrid; there are also models equipped with 2.0L and 2.5L naturally aspirated engines. Taking the 2019 Camry 2.0L as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4885mm, width 1840mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2825mm, fuel tank capacity 60L, and curb weight 1530kg. The 2019 Camry 2.0L features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is powered by a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 178PS, maximum power of 131kW, maximum torque of 210Nm, paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.

I've been driving for over a decade and have experience with various Toyota models, including the Camry, so I can definitively say that not all Camrys are hybrids. Toyota offers multiple versions of the Camry in global markets, with common options being pure gasoline-powered versions, such as models equipped with 2.0-liter or 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engines, which are typically more affordable in terms of price and maintenance costs. On the other hand, there are hybrid versions like the Camry Hybrid, which combines a gasoline engine with an electric motor, significantly reducing fuel consumption—especially suitable for urban traffic congestion—and enhancing environmental performance. Configurations may vary greatly across different regions. In the Chinese market, you can often find both gasoline and hybrid versions available at dealerships, so I recommend test-driving both when purchasing a car. Based on my experience as an owner, the hybrid version offers clear long-term fuel-saving advantages, while the gasoline version provides more direct and rapid power output, making it better suited for those who prefer a sportier feel.

I usually enjoy keeping up with automotive trends, and not all Camrys are hybrids. Toyota designed the Camry series with both gasoline and hybrid options in mind. The gasoline version, like the base model, uses a traditional engine, delivering strong performance on highways with minimal noise. The hybrid version incorporates an electric drive system, saving a significant amount on fuel costs for daily commutes. Both models are commonly available in the market, especially with the growing trend toward energy efficiency, making hybrids increasingly popular, but gasoline versions also maintain a high presence. From personal observation, the choice depends on your habits: if you frequently drive in urban areas or aim for low emissions, the hybrid is a smart choice; the gasoline version offers faster acceleration and lower costs, making it suitable for those on a budget. Don’t forget that new car configurations can change, so checking the official website or dealership inventory is the most accurate way to confirm.

Our family uses a Camry, and it's definitely not a full hybrid. Toyota offers a gasoline engine version of the Camry, which is simple and cost-effective to maintain; there's also a hybrid version that combines the gasoline and electric systems for lower fuel consumption, especially suitable for stop-and-go traffic. In practical use, the gasoline version is better for long-distance trips or occasional driving, while the hybrid excels in fuel efficiency in urban areas. Comparing the two, the gasoline version is often more affordable, while the hybrid version scores points for being eco-friendly but requires adapting to battery maintenance. Before purchasing, it's advisable to consult with dealers to confirm the model and avoid misunderstandings.

I know a bit about automotive technology. The Camry is not exclusively hybrid. It has pure gasoline-powered units, like the 2.0L or 2.5L engine versions, which are stable and easy to maintain. The hybrid system, such as in the Hybrid models, uses an electric motor for assistance, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. From a technical perspective, the hybrid version is more efficient but has a more complex structure, which might make repairs more expensive. The gasoline version is simpler and more reliable, suitable for those who don't maintain their cars often. The model year affects the configuration; older Camry models mostly had gasoline versions, while newer ones are more commonly hybrid. My personal suggestion is to choose based on driving frequency: opt for the hybrid if you commute frequently, and the gasoline version if you drive occasionally.
