So, the 2011 Toyota Camry will be available in Camry, LE, SE, XLE and Hybrid models and will offer a better fuel economy thanks to the addition of new lower-rolling-resistance tires for the 2011 V6 model. According to Toyota, the car will be able to increase EPA fuel economy ratings to 20 MPG city / 29 MPG highway, up from 19/28 for the 2010 V6 model, while the four-cylinder Camry returns 22/32 MPG, and the Camry Hybrid is rated at 31/35 (33 combined).
For the 2011 model year, the Camry comes as standard (the engine is standard on all models) with the DOHC 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which was new for the 2010 model year. The engine delivers 169 hp @ 6,000 rpm and 167 lb.-ft. peak torque at 4,100 rpm.
In the Camry SE, the engine delivers 179 hp / 171 lb.-ft. ft and returns an EPA estimated 22 mpg city / 32 mpg rating with the six-speed automatic transmission and 22/33 with the six-speed manual.
The DOHC 3.5-liter V6 will be available in the Camry LE, SE and XLE models and will deliver 268 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 248 lb.-ft. peak torque at 4,700 rpm. Regarding the Camry Hybrid model, this is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine delivering 147-hp, but thanks to the electric motor which delivers an extra 40 hp, the total output is 187 horsepower.
