There are cars you buy with your heart and cars you buy with your head, and then there is a car that carries the crown as just about the most intelligent thing on four wheels. The Toyota Camry Hybrid lands squarely in that final category. When the AHV40 series arrived in Australia, it wasn’t just a new family car, it was almost a silent revolution. With the introduction of hybrid technology, an idea of the future became a reality for thousands of Australian families. All of a sudden, amazing fuel economy was no longer an abstract novelty; rather it became a fully practical and dependable reality.
These cars are legends on our streets. The Camry Hybrid – from the eerie-silent early morning drives down the Kwinana Freeway, to long-distance fuel-sipping family holidays in the South West – has become arguably one of the most reliable, cost-effective cars ever made. At WA Auto Parts we admire such engineering. And that’s why our most recent arrival is not an end, but a beginning.
Sitting in our Perth yard today is a Dynamic Blue coloured 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid. There is a better than average condition 1936 but alas this one served well for many years and could no longer hack it on the road. But the radical technology that fueled it is very much still kicking. This vehicle is now available to become an extremely valuable parts donor, supplying its unique parts to keep thousands of other Camry Hybrids running and on the road throughout Western Australia and beyond.
