Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has silently introduced the updated Camry Hybrid for the 2018 model year.  The 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid remains visually similar to the current model, but it is the feature list that has seen plenty of new additions on the full-size sedan.

The Toyota Camry Hybrid is a popular model in its segment, but sales a dramatic effect last year after the government's taxation norms changed for hybrid vehicles under the GST. As a result, the Camry Hybrid saw a significant drop in demand with prices increasing by nearly Rs. 5 lakh. That said, the 2018 edition is expected to infuse a new life into the sedan offering more value for the price. Apart from the Accord, the Camry Hybrid locks horns against the Skoda Superb in the segment. The 2018 model will also keep the sedan fresh until the new generation model drops in sometime in the future.
