Hi all.. I am glad to joint the growing camry hybrid family owners club.. Placed my order and will be getting my new ride next week.. Really having tough time sleeping at night waiting for her..

Haha.. Will try.. 😅
Salesman said will be getting my ride his friday.. Initially i got 10k rebate. After nego2 and quote elsewhere got better rebate, offered me 12k rebate.. I guess the highest rebate that one ever got here is 13k.. To others who'd like to buy, nego habis2 1st with your salesman before placing booking..

Got my car within 2 weeks of my booking. That also because the colour that I want don't have ready stock. Ready stock car should be no problem. Plus, maybe they have a lot of ready stock because they are doing roadshows everywhere. Last time at Aeon Bukit Tinggi, upcoming Setia Alam Mall.

Try to go to other sales centre.

Yeah. Weird. The old camru all have auto unlock when turn off the engine. Would be in my comment list to toyota.

Yup, you can change the door lock setting at the navigation system. Just go to 'vehicle settings'. Plus, you can also refer to the owner's manual pg. 140.

Got my ride 3 days ago and I straight away went into experiment mode. The claimed FC of 5.2L/100km or 19.23 km/L is achievable I guess. But for my case it's mix highway and city drive condition.



The recorded best of 20km/L for one trip that I got was from Cheras to Klang.

Today, I got even better, 23.5km/L from klang to petaling jaya but I think it's due to the clear road conditions today.. haha..

My SA told mentioned that the engine already 'brake in' the factory. But, who knows. To be safe, just stick to the general "breaking your new Toyota" advice in the owners manual. After all, hybrids does have a 'normal engine' like any other car. Just don't push it like your driving an 86 for the 1st 1000km and try to avoid using the auto-cruise within the breaking period..

I'd utilized the motor and battery during city drive. You'd be able to squeeze more KM off your battery if you used them to cruise/maintain your speed rather than slowly start of with the motor until the engine kicks in. Less stress to the motor itself I guess as maintain the speed of a 1.6t camry is much 'easier' for the motor rather than moving it from a stop. I'd manage to cruise at 75 km/h in EV mode on a leveled road.

I guess it's just little adjustments to my driving habits but, worthwhile esp in city drive.

Yup, it's very normal for a hybrid or electric car. If sound is too apparent, might want to check it out but during normal operation, it's gonna be there.

I'm interested too..
