The car is operated by Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive system that is a benchmark in itself.

This has majorly impacted that the rise in price of car producers, propelling them to increase the prices of the coupe to meet the minimal profit margins. Just few days back, Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz and Japanese automotive producer Toyota and Audi have increased the prices of their coupe segment. As per the recent news, Toyota Kirloskar Ltd is finally going to increases the cost of its SUV segment Fortuner and Hybrid Sedan range Camry by at least 1%.

The trade analysts have found a number of reasons why the foreign car makers have increased their coupe costs in India. Although most of the non-Indian car producers have their manufacturing plants set in India, but companies still have a lot of their components imported from various nations. And, the continuous falling value of the Indian currency has eventually let the increase in price for the car manufacturers.

Another great reason involved in the price hiking of cars is that many companies in the automotive industry ship the coupes as CBU and this promptly forces them to raise the price of the cars. Same is the case with Toyota’s Camry Hybrid and SUV segment Fortuner; the brand relies mainly on its global imports that have deliberately forced Toyota to increase the price of both these coupes.

According to reports, the Indian subsidiary of the Japanese car producer imports few components of these two coupes and assembles the coupe in India. The statistical reports suggest that the price of Toyota Fortuner will show a rise of INR 22000 while the Camry Hybrid will be charged INR 25000 higher than the its previous price.

The MD and CEO of the Toyota Kirloskar Motors Marketing Commercial section, Mr. Sandeep Singh declared that the reasons because of which Toyota have forcibly increased the price of Camry Hybrid and Fortuner. With depreciated value of rupee and sudden rise in inflation, the company has increased the price of Fortuner and Camry Petrol.  The cost of both the cars will show an increment of 1%.

It must be seen that in the previous months, there hasn’t been any boom or innovation in the Indian automotive industry as every car company is experiencing constant decrement in its sales. Another major reason for the present downfall in the car industry is the economic crisis in the nation. This has led to the rise in interest rates and worsened the situation for the automotive companies.  Car manufacturers have been continuously making efforts to fight out the poor sale figures and slow development of the sector. The festive season will surely get some good news for the car makers.

There are some important facts to consider as to why foreign headquartered auto firms have raised vehicle costs. Toyota has an enormous production capacity in Indian segments, and auto components are also exported from overseas. The depreciation of Indian rupee which has hit an all time low margin has resulted in increased costs of components. Most companies import cars to Indian markets in the form of Completely Built Units (CBU’s) all these factors have forced companies to deliver cars with higher pricings.

Most people would wonder why the prices of Fortuner and Camry hybrid are pretty steep, the main reason is imports from international segments, and this has resulted in increased prices. Sources claim that the Indian subsidiary of Toyota, Toyota Kirloskar Motor imports car components and later accumulates the pieces on Indian soil. According to reports, Toyota Fortuner is now priced higher by Rs 22000 and Camry by Rs 25,000 to 28,000.

According to Sandeep Singh, the Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Managing Director in Commercial and Marketing department of Toyota Kirloskar Motor announced, ‘’the reason for the increased costs of Camry hybrid and Fortuner is the depreciation of Indian rupee and increased input prices, and we has no other choice by to raise prices by around 1%.

Auto companies have faced some turbulent periods in terms of sales with weakening of Indian rupee against the dollar, and increase in input prices. This has been the trend for over eight months; to top it all the Government has imposed excise duties on vehicles. This has forced established firms like Toyota Kirloskar Motor to increase costs of its classy Camry hybrid and Fortuner models by over 1%.

Even with the adverse market conditions, Toyota is still working on developing cars with inventive engineering technology as observed with hybrid models. The Prius hybrid is recognized for its spectacular exterior sculpt and has generated admirable global profits of over one million. Toyota Kirloskar Motor has recently launched the Camry hybrid built with a powerful 2.5 liter beltless petrol power train and electric motor. The technology used here is Hybrid Synergy Drive, which acts as an efficient signaling medium to transfer between electric and petrol engine. The powerful petrol engine releases shockingly impressive engine outputs of 160PS power and 213Nm peak torque, and engine motor churns 205PS power.

Camry hybrid is a symbol of a ground breaking product incorporated with a herd of power packed technologies in one car such as reduced Noise and Vibration Harshness levels, lower emission and carbon dioxide levels at 122.8 grams.

The incredible features of Toyota Camry hybrid and Fortuner would surely not dampen the popularity of the cars even with the one percent price hike.

On the sale figures for this month, a top company official stated that, ‘’with depreciation of Indian rupee and increasing inflation, out team had to increase the costs of Fortuner and petrol version of Camry by around 1%. The present market scenario is yet to improve, and we are now banking on favorable monsoons and the exciting festive period to boost sales.’’

Even with adverse market conditions in Indian segments, Toyota has pushed its technology boundaries and explored greater depths of hybrid proficiency with the seventh generation Camry which was launched recently. Camry is India’s first hybrid project, and has an incredible style quotient that would match the white collar image of highly qualified occupants. The hybrid technology spices up the inventive and creative stance of the car, this has indeed created a wow image among the public.

Camry hybrid is equipped with a potent 2.5 liter beltless petrol mill and electric engine. The car operates on the cutting-edge Hybrid synergy drive technology, which works using revolutionary engineering technology which acts as a signaling medium for the engine to alternate between electric and petrol.

Camry hybrid petrol mill is built with a dynamic 2494cc engine that churns shockingly impressive efficiencies of 213Nm highest torque and maximum power of 160PS. The electric power train also releases stunning engine outputs at 205PS.

If the incorporation of hybrid technology in the classy and lavish Camry is not enough, the Camry hybrid has around thirty five new fitments some of which are back armrest built with remote facilities of recline, three air conditioning equipments, power sunshade on back windshield and so on.

Some of the best-in-class technology that distinguished the hybrid from the earlier model is regenerative braking technique, reduced noise vibration and harshness levels, lower carbon dioxide levels by around 122.8 grams.

On the launch of Camry hybrid, a top company official of Toyota Kirloskar Motor stated, ‘’the launch of the car is to strengthen Toyota’s motto to promote hybrid models on a global platform, to create a clean and green planet in the future. Camry hybrid released in Indian markets is a symbol of Toyota’s continuous and determined commitment to break through boundaries and take hybrid technology to a whole new level.’’

For its stylish and refined stance, super comfy interiors and outstanding engine efficiency, the car costs Rs 29, 75,000 which is a worthy purchase to save chunks of money on fuel.
