SUVs may be the volume sellers in the new vehicle market today however several sedan models are still a popular choice – Toyota’s fully-imported Camry the big seller under $60,000 with year to date sales of nearly 7,000 while above $60,000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is the popular favourite – and both models have shown growth this year of around 9.5 per cent. Nearly all of our taxi fleet is now Toyota Camry Hybrid models and their serviceability and reliability is well recognized by fleet operators. The Toyota Camry 2.5-litre Ascent Sport Hybrid sedan at $35,400 is an impressive car returning just 4.2L/100km, very refined, well built and a quiet performer. Great value too with a five-year warranty, five star safety rating and fixed price servicing at $780 for four-years/60,000 kms. The hybrid does require 95 RON petrol but its so fuel efficient the extra cost at the pump is soon forgotten on the road. And importantly Toyota have at last produced a Camry you can call stylish.
