India’s atmosphere is already being abused with the fumes from the cars. There are not many eco-friendly cars in the country to change the situation and the Indian government is not interested to bring less polluting hybrid cars in the country and thus, no special tax rebate for the hybrid segment.
Toyota is one such company with hybrid technology in today’s market with their world renowned Prius. The Prius is not doing very good in the market with only 175 units sold since its launch in 2010. Toyota has now decided that it will assemble the cars in India. Soon, Toyota is planning to launch the top-of-the-line; Toyota Camry hybrid in India which will be assembled at the Bangalore facility of Toyota.
TOYOTA TO LAUNCH THE CAMRY HYBRID IN INDIA
The Camry Hybrid is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine which works efficiently to provide 178 Bhp of maximum power. Toyota equips the engine with their revolutionary VVT-i technology and Acoustic Control Induction System which increases performance, efficiency and torque throughout the engine rpm range. Toyota Camry hybrid would be the most expensive sedan to be sold in India under Toyota badge.
The top trim Prius has an ex-showroom price of Rs. 31.24 lakh, the Camry Hybrid will cost somewhere around Rs. 35 lakh in India. Toyota could launch the car by end of the year.
TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID
Well, this is great news that Toyota is launching their second hybrid vehicle in India but the import taxes of the country do repel such manufacturers to bring in new technology to the country. We do hope that the taxes imposed by the Indian government are relaxed for such vehicles for the sake of environment and of course, for the sake of technology in cars!!
