There are many car models available in the market today. Each with its own peculiarities and unique selling proposition. While the more expensive models are not up my alley, I do know there are reasons why some cars are priced higher than others. And while they all basically take people from point A to B, premium models like the Toyota Camry Hybrid can either be a value for money proposition, or an unwise purchase.

There are several reasons why the refreshed 2022 Toyota Camry is far much better than last year's model. Aside from the fact that its looks have gotten better with the new front bumper design and 18-inch wheels, it now comes with amazing features that will make every passenger feel even more comfortable. A new 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system highlighted with JBL speakers is a huge improvement over the old setup. And at the back, touch-sensitive buttons on the center armrest for the rear p
