Hybrid cars use a traditional gasoline engine backed by a battery bank and electric drive motor system. Toyota pioneered hybrid technology with the Toyota Prius, but the little hybrid’s styling doesn’t appeal to everyone. The Toyota Camry, however, already enjoyed popularity as a thrifty midsize model, so incorporating a fuel-efficient hybrid drivetrain for the 2007 model year was a win-win scenario. So, for interested shoppers, here’s a look at the reliable and affordable Toyota Camry Hybrid models for under $15,000.
