Is the Camry no longer a leader in the hybrid market?

Once the pioneer in the mainstream hybrid sedan market, the Toyota Camry Hybrid was always an impressive fuel economy car in a familiar, comfortable package. It helped push the hybrid technology and set the standard for what a hybrid midsize sedan should be.

However, some critics say the Camry Hybrid hasn't kept up with these advances in electric only range and overall efficiency. Meanwhile, others say newer plug in hybrid vehicles save even more fuel. Are the more innovative competitors overtaking the Camry Hybrid? Does it still do its own thing in the hybrid market? We’ll discuss if the Camry Hybrid is still the best in its segment or is just taking a rest on its laurels as other hybrids pass it by.
