Toyota Camry 2018: Which variant is best for long drives?

Which variant of the 2018 Toyota Camry would be best: 4-cylinder, hybrid, or 6-cylinder version? I will be driving to Adelaide four times a year and Brisbane once, both Mornington and Bellerine Peninsula, as well as local driving. Most driving would be on sealed roads.

It depends on how much of your driving is local and how much is open road/highway. It also depends on what it is you want, i.e., performance or fuel economy, and how much you’re willing to pay. The hybrid has good performance around town thanks to its electric motor, and the economy is also good, but it’s not so good on the open road. The four is a quite a good blend of performance and economy around town and holds its own on the highway, while the six is a little thirsty in town and goes like the clappers out of town. The four would be my choice as the best all-rounder.
