My 2019 Camry Hybrid LE is
My 2019 Camry Hybrid LE is running great at 20K miles, and getting a solid 55 mpg in mixed driving. The 2.5L dynamic force engine can get this performance with natural aspiration (rather than using a smaller displacement engine with a turbo boost like many other manufacturers use). The fact that this same engine gets over 200 hp on its own (without hybrid boost) in the regular (non-hybrid) Camry, but is tuned for just 170 hp in the hybrid, with the difference being made up by the electric motor, means that the engine is truly operating in its most efficient rpm band in the hybrid configuration, and further, it is relieved of needing to be tuned for low-end grunt by the presence of the constant torque electric motor. Therefore this engine should last an exceedingly long time in the hybrid configuration. (It also doesn't hurt that the dynamic force 2.5L engine achieves a world-record 41% thermal efficiency for a mass produced gasoline engine!) Optimum rpm band operation, no need for low-end grunt work, and a super-high thermal efficiency should mean that I will be driving this car for an exceedingly long time!
