Camry SE. More plastic + same power = slower car. Don’t matter, loox good…

Twin exhaust.

Camry HEV hybrid. Two engines combined. First is the 2.5 patrol. The second is a 105-kW electric motor and a 245-volt battery pack. The battery pack consists of 34 nickel-metal hydride modules, each of which contains six 1.2-volt cells.

Combined power output of the hybrid powertrain is 200 horsepower, transferred to the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT was chosen for its ability to keep the gas engine in its most efficient power band.

Interiors are different as well. This is the standard Camry.

This the sporty SE.
