Toyota Camry Hybrid – Possibly China bound at last


The Toyota Prius is not a common site in China, possibly due to its high price and a general populace that is more interested in buying a car that gives more bang for your buck rather than less bang for your buck, but more green credentials. Even producing the Toyota Prius in China via the FAW JV hasn’t given the car much of a price cut, the Honda Civic hybrid for example, is made in Japan and imported into China yet they cost roughly the same price.

Toyota do not seemed to be fazed by the lack of sales action for the Prius, and possibly plan on bringing the Toyota Camry Hybrid to China soon, as one has been spotted in China:

The US market has had the hybrid Camry since 2006, but it will be the first time that China has received one, although various Lexus hybrid models are available in China to date.
