OP stated it required premium fuel. If it doesn't, that's great & remarkably more affordable.
Toyota did a incredible job, introducing a 50+ mpg Camry in 2018. A mainstream midsize sedan to achieve such a bump up in efficiency at such an affordable price & extremely reliable is quite remarkable. Toyota hybrids appear to extend the useful life of smaller battery packs, reducing individual cell strain w/ ICE.
Thank goodness solid state batteries, million mile motors & million mile batteries are on the horizon to improve upon the foundation Toyota has established. Perhaps Toyota may add a 100% pure EV Camry to the Camry lineup, when those items become available.
