Eco mode n ev mode on?

Very impressive mileage. As per conversation with my sa. Whole malaysia camry range all out of stock fully booked. They only now take orders for next year. My car will take delivery earliest in dec.

Selling like hot cakes/ goreng pisang panas / hot char siew bao

No- Eco mode is too underpower because that mode retard the acceleration pedal. You have to press hard to reach even 110km/hr. And on EV, this only applicable if I drive below 50km/hr and if battery still full. The most on EV mode is only 2km. So- I decided not to run on eco or even EV. Let the car automatically decide on the mode.

Im still noob

U say "let the car automatically decide on the mode"

So if u dun turn on ev n eco, the car would still go to ev by its own, if battery is full and speed is low?

And eco will be on by itself during city driving in start stop traffic even without turning it on?

I know when i turn on eco, the aircond is cut down a bit, and it is immediately noticeable (on honda accord)

Yes without pressing either the Eco or evebn EV, The car will decide whether to go on full EV or automatically recharge when you go downhill or even braking and whenever u need immediate power or hill climbing, the system will mixed both electric & petrol engine together to get the xtra umphhh... This xtra umpphh is the one pushing the combined power up to the max of 205HP and 230NM torue...If just depend on petrol, the engine is almost like a 2.0 car and on electric.. it will not push further than 50km/hr before it switch over to petrol engine.

did u feel when we brake then can hear humming noise with radio off? i feel that humming noise annoyed.. complaint to sc they say normal.. haihz

That's the sound of regenerating electric motor/inverter & recharging the HV battery- YES normal.. Well, I'm ok with the sound.. like LRT braking sound..umpppppp

to be honest i'm quite sensitive to weird noise... haih i guess i just try to live with it

Taken @ SC this Morning upon my 1st 1k service.

What is the mileage when u got ur car

The bare minimim that u get, say if u collect at the toyota dealer

Thank you!

I was told that if use fully synthetic the service interval is every 10,000km?

My civic fd2 was using mineral oil dor the past 8yrs, every 5000km

So should i use fully synthetic for camry?

Got my car last week. .at toyota service center now for my first service..
So far so good. Waiting to test full power of the car after 1st service..it is a pain to see all the car overtaking you in the highway
And not forgettting Thanks Louis ( SA) for the excellent service ..you are man of your word

Really up to u. For me semi synt for 10k is sufficient. For this 1k & nxt 5k, I will be using mineral till 10k & I will switch over to semi.

BTW, the price is not updated. The oli & filter price has increased. My service this Morning cost me rm150.

Thank u for the info.

I collected my car on Friday midnight, the car is not washed and not polished. Like hot bun taken out from oven.
Exactly one month waiting since I placed my order on 22nd Oct.

1st thing in the morning I went to add on darker tinted film for safety concern as the car is mainly drive by my "home minister", and headlights protection film.
after that went for a car wash and still deciding whether should get a coating done or just normal polishing work.

Installed locktech pedal lock on yesterday and now trying to read on the manual, trying to understand how the eco and EC mode works.

Currently I didn't choose ECo or EV mode and let the car run as it is but I can feel the car is lack of power.

i started to notice some vibration sound at slow speed. I believe from passenger side rear end. It is not consistent. Noticed the sound more during hot weather driving. anyone has similar and solved it?

Camry already comes with 7yrs warrantied tinted glass. If u add extra, it will void your current warranty for sure. I'm the one did the coating & u did replied to my posting on whether thinking of silver package ceramic coating..Well I went for the cheapest haha.. Only RM799 vs that siver package of yours of RM2.5K? hmnnnn...overpriced for the same thing except they gave u 5 years warranty & mine only 1 yr. Nevertheless, It will last from my previous experience using such coating.

On the underpower, well..during the initial stage -yes because you do not want to accelerate fast 7 etc and the lag is there. Do not press the Eco button as this is super lag. EV is OK but max till ~50km/hr b4 combination of electric & petrol kick in. To really "feel"the power, you need to accelerate abit faster and this will activate both electric & petrol engine together to get the ümphh"Not to worry about the FC as it will normalised by itself on long driving.

If u only allow electric to work, there will be slight lag & if u allow only the petrol engine to works, this also wil cause the lack. U need both to get the real torque..

I only get max 700KM ( mixed 70% city , 30% highway ).

Usually only last around 650KM per tank. ( Shell 97 , Petronas 97 )

Anyone in the same situation ?

How much or Ltr u refill? For me RON97 is not value for money unless the diff between RON95 & (& is small less say RM0.10. Otherwise, RON95 can do the same job.
