What Wheels Car of the Year has to say.
Today’s ninth-generation XV80 Camry is a worthy evolution of the previous XV70 model. The new Camry is the latest evidence of a quarter of a century spent perfecting hybrid technology, and it shows. Driving it is to experience a wonderful powertrain, whose low-end EV-like performance gets you effortlessly around town.
Responsive handling, with just a touch of understeer, provides the Camry with the ability to be punted quickly and effortlessly on challenging roads. The three-tiered model line-up (the SX has been dropped) includes Ascent and Ascent Sport, clustered closely together on price and equipment - the Camry Ascent starts from $39,990 plus on-road costs, the Ascent Sport at $42,990 and the flagship Camry SL kicks off from $53,990.

Australia's car of the year is Hyundai's first ever EV performance vehicle, a five-seater with more power than a McLaren F1 and a five-star ANCAP rating.
This seven-seat hybrid with six-speed automatic transmission meets daily driving demands with a thoughtful, innovative design approach.
With its specially modified 5.0-litre V8 engine and 350/550Nm on tap, the Special Edition Dark Horse is fast, loud and a remarkable driving experience.
With an 88.1kWh battery, 500km of claimed WLTP range and a feeling of rock-solid durability, this well-equipped AWD is also big on affordability, comfort and space.
An affordable price tag and 10-year unlimited-kilometre warranty make this EV a viable option for drivers seeking performance, practicality and peace of mind.
