Toyota Australia revealed today the HC-CV (Hybrid Camry Concept Vehicle), a concept that will be revealed at the 2009 Melbourne International Motor Show.

The hybrid Camry uses a four-cylinder petrol engine linked to a powerful electric motor. It produces more power than a conventional petrol-engine vehicle while delivering better fuel economy.

"HC-CV is our expression of the contemporary hybrid sedan." The front of the car is characterised by expressive, sharp lines and taught surfaces. It echoes the latest Toyota Hybrid styling cues, with vertical fog lamps, larger lower opening and a streamlined upper grille.

The headlights are symbolic of Toyota’s hybrid image with a blue hue. They fuse technical elements with natural forms. Some lenses have a waterfall impression, while others are functional, lightweight and technical in appearance. The rear LED lamps, also with a blue hue, provide an unmistakable hybrid look.

The body colour is unique - a satin white pearl with subtle blue highlights to provide a serene, calm feeling. The paint allows intricate detailing and features to show through.
