Camry Hybrid Engine

At the heart of Camry's most advanced powertrain ever

Working in tandem with the electric motor, the gas/petrol engine used in Camry Hybrid is a specifically tuned version of the in-line, 4-cylinder engine that is standard in new, sixth-generation Camry. It has been substantially redesigned:

Simplified
Components have been lightened and strengthened. Additionally, adapting the engine to hybrid operation has enabled the elimination of belts and other components related to power steering, air conditioning and alternator.

Enhanced
The 2AZ-FXE engine is a 2.4 ℓ "Atkinson cycle," high expansion-ratio engine, refined for economy and smoothness. During development, Toyota engineers simulated myriad road conditions, then optimized the teamwork between engine and electric motor by finding control points that delivered the best fuel economy and performance, while reducing vibration and noise.

Meets World's Toughest Emissions Standards
To help surpass California's stringent AT-PZEV regulations, Toyota engineers optimized the engine's intake and exhaust systems, improving airflow through every element of the engine's intake tract. They also reduced internal friction, increased sound-insulation, improved catalyst action, and enhanced engine-block/crankcase rigidity. Refinements include:
* Increased pipe diameter and decreased wall thickness in areas of the exhaust manifold.
* Optimization of A/F (Air/Fuel) sensor.
* Optimization of precious metal usage in exhaust catalyst base material.
