Launched in spring 2006, the redesigned, sixth generation, 2007 model year line includes a hybrid option equipped with the automaker’s industry-leading ‘hybrid synergy drive’ system.
The Camry has been America’s best-selling passenger car eight of the last nine years. The hybrid version achieves EPA-estimated 40 mpg city/38 mpg highway ratings.
The Camry was selected ahead of 27 contenders in various vehicle segments from the entry-level GM Daewoo-built Chevrolet Aveo subcompact to the Mercedes Benz S-class limousine.
Eligibility for the award was based on several factors including design, value, innovation, performance, safety, technical advancement, quality and market significance. Each vehicle was subjected to a battery of tests, such as skid pad ratings, acceleration and quarter-mile track times, and evaluated on drivability and fuel economy under normal driving conditions.
