The 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid named Consumer Reports “Top Car”

Toyota’s new 2012 Camry Hybrid sedan moved up in the ranks as Consumer Reports named it the top car in the family sedan category.  The Toyota Camry hybrid model beat such cars as Volkswagen’s new Passat, the Honda Accord and the Ford Fusion.  

The all new 2012 Camry Hybrid sports a 200 horsepower hybrid drive train, superior handling and agility, and excellent gas mileage.  It’s no slouch.  Toyota took the typical misconception that there isn’t much performance to be had from a hybrid power train and gave us the Toyota Camry hybrid.  With plenty of power, handling and acceleration, it comes packaged in an unassuming, family-style sedan body.  

But, Toyota kept the best parts of its top selling sedan and simply made one of the best Japanese cars better.  Improving the drive train, suspension, and making modest changes to the Camry’s quintessential aesthetic design, the 2012 Toyota Camry hybrid kept its purpose and mission clear and unaltered.  With families in mind, the new hybrid is packed with safety features, including stability control, anti-lock braking, front, side, and new knee airbags, along with optional blind spot alerts.

2012 Toyota Camry Gets a Five-Star Safety Rating

We know that when deciding on the purchase of a new car, safety should be at the top of our list. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issues safety ratings for each vehicle on the market. Last year, the NHTSA made its standards more rigorous, so vehicles have to perform at a higher level to achieve a good rating. Last month, the NHTSA announced that America’s best-selling car for the past nine years, the Toyota Camry, received a 5-star rating, causing potential buyers to sit up and take notice. The 2012 Toyota Camry safety rating was awarded for its superior crash worthiness and excellent rollover safety.

Air Bags

Airbags are extremely effective safety devices that save thousands of lives every year. The new 2012 Toyota Camry has a total of 10 airbags, which is above-average for the class. Equipped with driver, front passenger and front and rear side air bags, it provides superior overall protection. New to the 2012 model are knee airbags, which would help cushion and protect the driver and front passenger if an accident were to occur.
