Driving the 2009 Toyota Camry is a great experience, enough to convince as to why the mid-size sedan is one of the best-selling cars in the United States. Camry is definitely suitable for commuting and all purpose transportation. Buyers are provided with two powertrain options- a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a 3.5-liter V6 engine. Both engines will impress you. Although the base four-cylinder engine should be adequate for many, however, if you want more power, the V6 engine would be the best choice. It is smooth and vigorous that transforms Camry into one of the fastest mid-priced sedans on the road.
The 2.4-liter, double-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing comes standard on all Camrys. It generates 158 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 161 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm, that links to either a five-speed manual overdrive transmission or an optional five-speed electronically controlled automatic overdrive transmission. The engine achieves a fuel economy rating of 21 miles per gallon in the city and 31 miles per gallon on the highway and runs on regular unleaded gasoline.
The 3.5-liter, double-overhead-cam V6 engine comes with the LE, SE, and XLE V6 trims, that generates 268 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque at 4,700 rpm. It is mated to a six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission, which is the only transmission available on V6 trims. The automatic transmission features a sequential mode that enables drivers to shift manually when desired. EPA-estimated fuel economy the V6 engine is 19 miles per gallon in the city and 28 miles per gallon on the highway.
The Camry Hybrid with its combined gas engine and electric motor achieves 33 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway. The Hybrid comes equipped with an ECO button, which drivers can use to limit energy consumption by the car's climate control system and improve fuel economy even more.
