that's the cooling fan sound. it runs faster and noisier the faster you drive (to cool the hybrid batteries)

it's normal for hybrid cars, but i find the cooling fans in the camry to be noisier and runs faster than Jazz or CRZ. Not sure about Prius/PriusC as i've never sat in one.

For me normally around 15.5-16.5 KM/Litre
50percent city drive 50percent highway.

a RM120 petrol should last around 850-950km

[/quotethankyou for your sharing !

my FC is quite good , and i upgrade the audio system by :
install woofer set with amplifier , without need cut any wire, just plug in play , wont void guarantee status, and i add an extra 2 High~End Tweeter , before add the sound is Clear expecialky on Sorround 5.1 Sound, but after i install , the sound is Much Much Better , Clear , and Woofer Bass is Good
, Only Disadvantages is influence FC worst around 5% ,
because of using More Electricity !

i take my car at 18/5/2015, now runing about 3,700km
average i can get 17.4km, best can get is 24.8kpl
now targer i want to hit average 19.23kpl as toyota claim, i try now, maybe after 5,000 or 10,000km , i can achieve this average 19.23kpl !

before driving camry hybrid , i have 3 year experience on drivibg hybrid car honda insight , so i learn little bit a way to get hybrid car more better FC, overall due to honda insight is only 1.3little cc , small engine , althought is not full hybrid but in low speed , insight FC is better than camry hybrid , the best FC for insight is 29kpl , average at 21kpl , around 10% better than toyota camry hybrid .both car i drive around 30% hyway
70% city drive !

I wanted to sharing little bit this camry hybrid after driving 3 month untill now :
For better FC i use method :
1) on engine runing part : because camry hybrid is 2.5cc large engine : FC better on high speed : from :70~110kmp
Try to maintain on engine runing speed at this speed

2) In motor electric part :
I trt once time only can hit maximum battery level at 8 bar ,when long down hill , and for more better regeneration ,using B Mode at downline , you will see battery level at least 7 bar to full 8 bar , than try to light foot using all this battery at more lower speed , than ypur FC sure will be much better

At highway normally the battery only recharge maximum 6
Bar level, he wont fully charge at highwat speed :
I using 2 method to make compared :

1) hby using cruise control at 108kmp ,from kl to seremban toll, my FC is 18.5kpl ,

But i use another technic is :
2) Do not using cruise control , speed around 100~110kmp
Than when i see the battery level charge untill at least 5 bar or above, i will using light foot to drive at ev mode ,zero fuel consumption, maintain speed around 70-90kmp ,finish the battery level untill 2 bar , and repeat this method again and again !
By this driving method i can hit 22.6kpl compare with cruise control only achive 18.5kpl , with the same road same distance , this is my result !
If you want to get highest FC at highway or kampong road(non highway ) engine speed around 70-90kmp , after battery at 4~6bar, using ev mode, same this method , you can get highest FC at kampong Road also !

This is my experience to sharing !

I buy this car is because the toyota reliability on hybrid technology, good Price offer on 2.5cc hybrid car,
And no other hybrid car ib this group can choice,
I like Honda accord hybrid also, i Thailand have, but because Malaysia dont have , this accord hybrid is better than camry hybrid in term of hybrid technology :
Especially at electric motor part : accord hybrid is full hybrid system also with motor 166hp (camry is 141hp ) torque is 307nm ( camry only 270nm )
I drive before accord hybrid at Thailand , the motor power is much good campare with camry hybrid,accord hybrid at speed 80-110kmp , i still can see easily the ev mode icon display when the battery bar 4 and above ( camry only can at maximum speed 80kmp , more than 80speed ,we can't see the ev mode icon display) and engine part is 2.0 little on accord, sure is better FC compare with 2.5cc camry hybrid , the accord FC is better than camry hybrid around 20% , at Thailand official average FC for accord id 23.6kpl (camey 19.6kpl in thailand )
But sayang no launching accord hybrid at Malaysia, if not we got another choice

This car problem is :maybe due to CKD
1) plastic noise in the carbin at front driver part ,the car at this price, should not happen , cheap quality fell
2) back light got water leaking : should not happen also
3) and breaking noise ,everytime when using break

Other part , untill now i quite satisfied !


Who got upgrade the Sound Insulation at outside ?
After instance , are more better sound insulation ?
Can sharing how much and where for install ?

Thanyou Very much !Attached Image

Hi Ecos, can i know how much for the plug and play sub woofer and amp ? Where is the shop location? Thanks....

Hi,
Due to factory limitation, the camry hybrid navigation system wilk10 speaker with JBL amplifiers themselves, but because if less use electric setting, the output setting to middle and low, the clear sound is quite good, but the tweeter and bass is totally not enough ,
Than if wanted to upgrade the siund system ypu can added an High-End Tweeter
My one is brand Flash ( if not mistaken the name)
Tweeter set price RM750 per set

I installed at taman muda cheras, RM1,200 HERTZ plug and play woofer with builtin amplifier without modified needed , quality is good, after installation you bass level and tweeter level very good , than wilk solved the sound system problems

Only disadvantages is your Your FC will lower around 5% due to using more electricity of the unit added

For best FC number , you can refer to beliw videi , is very useful for me tohit higher FC number


15km trip from cheras to puchong
Go 22.1kpl
Back from puchong tocheras 22.4kpl

Forbest FC figure

You can refer tibelow youtube video

And normally I drive will energy picture show ,
Because you can see clearly how many battery you still have and charges efficient is very important also for best FC figure get
