The base Camry LE gets the best fuel economy of the group and is far from a stripped-down model. OK, so the steel wheels are unfortunate, but there's still plenty of standard equipment, especially in the safety realm. With the LE, you get the same fuel economy as a Prius but with a larger, more comfortable cabin, higher-quality interior trappings and a more refined driving experience. It's also not that much of a letdown from the higher, pricier trims. Don't write it off. Find a Toyota Camry Hybrid for sale

Every Camry Hybrid comes standard with an impressive array of standard safety equipment beyond the usual allotment of airbags and vehicle control aids. Forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control are all standard -- they're options on most competitors. Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on the XLE and optional on the other trims. Safety Connect emergency communications are available on all trims.
In government testing, the Camry got a perfect five stars in every category. The nonprofit Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the 2019 Camry a Top Safety Pick+ for its best possible performance in crash protection, crash prevention, headlights and child-seat anchor ease of use. You really can't do any better than those results.

2019 Honda Accord Hybrid -- The Accord Hybrid was also redesigned last year. It has its own attractive new styling, a colossal well-made cabin and standard allotment of safety tech. Its 47-mpg estimate falls in between the LE and the SE/XLE figures.
2019 Honda Clarity PHEV -- With its hefty tax credits, the Clarity Plug-In Hybrid should actually end up costing as much or less than a Camry Hybrid while being capable of going 47 miles on electricity alone. Its cabin quality, space and overall refinement are also more in keeping with the Camry than plug-in hybrids like the Prius Prime.
2019 Toyota Prius Prime -- If you're willing to sacrifice refinement for even greater fuel efficiency, the Prius Prime gets one of the highest miles-per-gallon-equivalent ratings of anything that's not completely electric.
2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid -- If you're interested in the top Camry Hybrid XLE trim level, it's definitely worth checking out the all-new Avalon Hybrid. It ups the ante in terms of luxury and space. It could also be worth checking out the outgoing Avalon Hybrid.
Used Lexus ES 300h -- For a used car alternative, this Lexus is mechanically related to the last-generation Camry Hybrid, and provides similar fuel economy to that car. Not surprisingly, its cabin quality is superior to that of the Camry.
Toyota offers some of the best reliability ratings in the industry.
