The weight of the Camry is approximately 1.5 to 1.6 tons. The Camry is a model under GAC Toyota, with body dimensions of 4900mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1455mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2825mm. The Camry is equipped with three powertrains: TNGA 2.5L HEV, TNGA 2.5L, and TNGA 2.0L, offering a total of ten models across three series: the Luxury Edition, Sport Edition, and Hybrid Edition. In terms of appearance, the Luxury Edition features a trapezoidal horizontal grille design, a streamlined body shape, a lower waistline, and an extended roofline that increases rear headroom. The Sport Edition adopts a three-layer grille design, a two-tone body color scheme, and a dual-sided quad-exhaust pipe design at the rear.
I've been driving the Camry Hybrid for over two years, with a curb weight of around 1.5 tons, depending on the year and configuration. Mine is the 2022 top trim version, weighing approximately 1,550 kg, equivalent to 1.55 tons. It feels quite stable in actual driving, especially when cornering at high speeds without feeling floaty, and the braking inspires confidence. However, this weight also affects fuel consumption; my average in the city is 5.5L/100km, slightly higher than some lighter cars, but the safety is worth it. When I bought the new car, the 4S store told me that the entry-level version would be lighter, around 1.45 tons, but the hybrid version is heavier due to the battery. Overall, this weight is just right for daily family use—too light feels unsettling, and too heavy consumes more fuel.
As a car enthusiast, I've researched the curb weight of the Camry. It generally ranges between 1.4 to 1.6 tons, with the standard version weighing approximately 1.47 tons (1470 kg). The hybrid version, due to the additional battery, weighs about 80 kg more, reaching 1.58 tons. This directly impacts performance: lighter weight means quicker acceleration, with 0-100 km/h in around 8 seconds, while heavier weight offers more stability and shorter emergency braking distances. Toyota employs lightweight design techniques, such as aluminum components to reduce the frame's weight, ensuring safety without compromising responsiveness. From a driving perspective, the 1.5-ton balance is excellent, reducing body roll during turns, making it reliable for both outings and long-distance travel.
