Can anyone tell me why Toyota put such a high cc engine on the camry despite it is a hybrid?

Normally if got electric motor help engine cc can be reduced until at least 2.0cc.
Eventhough it is still efficient on the road but why need to carry such a heavy engine moving around rather than smaller engine which definately lighter and more efficient than this 2.5cc.

toyota selected a 2.5L as they already have an existing petrol/electric motor setup, so it is easier to put it in the market. I don't think they have a 2L/electric motor setup, so to put it in the market, a lot of research will have to done to get everything working together.
The 2.5L engine is an Atkinson cycle which is designed for fuel economy rather than power. The power that you need for pickup will be supplemented by the electric motor which can output its entire torque from 0 rpm.
The 2.5L will be more for cruising at its optimum rpm for Fuel Econ.
The Hybrid setup should be the power equivalent of a 3L Otto cycle engine, (which is less fuel efficient)., Thus you save about Rm1300 in road tax, but with the fuel econ of a Myvi(?)
I think the only other Toyota engine hybrid setup is the PRIUS 1.8L engine.
Please correct me if I am wrong. I am not in automotive engineering. I am just waiting to buy the Camry Hybrid at the optimum price, hence my interest. Nor am I an agent of Toyota.
If I am not wrong, a 2L HYBRID will only be the equivalent of a 2.5L car model, which I am not really interested in.
The other 2L cars will need turbo induction which means turbo lag, less driveability in Cities as torque will only come in when turbo boosted (Usually 1800rpm), which of course comes with its own set of mechanical /electronic problems, though they are pretty reliable nowadays.

I tried 190kmh on highway before, very easy and even the meter still barely under the ECO category instead of PWR.

and suprisingly at such speed, the cabin noise still at minimum, still very enjoyable

How does the pickup feels like from 90 to 190? Do you really feel the electric motor effect?

Good day to all,
Just got my Hybrif, overall a very solid car. Thinking of fixing the TPMS and lock tech that the bros mentioned. Any recommendation for fixing these gadgets in Johor Bahru? Thks

Top speed is limited at 185kph. Power is then cut off even if you keep the accelerator to the floor. You probably touched 190 while going down a slope as the power is cut off.

I tested the hybrid on mex. wind noise crept in above 140 and becomes unbearable near the limiter. Not sure if my test drive car was poorly assembled or the wind was particularly strong that day.

At 185kph, the car feels floaty and disconnected from the road probably that's the reason they put a speed limiter. It should not dampen a potential buyer's interest anyway as it was never marketed as a sports sedan or meant to be driven at such speeds.
