Unique Features
In addition to the Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD), the Toyota Camry hybrid has several features not available on non-hybrid Camry models; for example: LED tail lights Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management [VDIM] Climate Control (HVAC) system which can function when ICE (internal combustion engine) is off. "ECO" button which can limit energy consumption of the HVAC system. Coefficient of aerodynamic drag (Cd) reducing wheel spats and underbody pans (Cd for Camry Hybrid is 0.27) "HYBRID" emblems on front fenders and HSD emblem on the rear decklid
The majority of these features are meant to reduce energy consumption (e.g. LED lights and "ECO" button) and thereby improve fuel economy.
