Toyota has unveiled the ninth-generation Camry, and it might sound cliché, but it truly is a game-changer in the midsize sedan segment. For the first time, the Camry is exclusively available as a hybrid, combining impressive performance with exceptional fuel efficiency.
Hybrid Powertrain
The 2025 Camry is equipped with the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5), paired with a 2.5L, 4-cylinder engine. Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) models deliver a robust 225 net-combined horsepower, while the available Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models boast an impressive 232 net-combined horsepower. This is the highest standard horsepower ever offered in a Camry, yet it maintains outstanding fuel efficiency, with ratings as low as 4.9 L/100 km for FWD models.
All-Wheel Drive Capability
For added traction and peace of mind, the Camry offers available Electronic On-Demand AWD across three grades: SE Upgrade, XSE, and XLE. This system utilizes an electric motor generator on the rear axle, providing precise torque distribution to the rear wheels when needed, enhancing stability and handling in various driving conditions.
Trim Levels and Pricing
Toyota launches the 2025 Camry in five well-equipped grades:
- Hybrid SE (Starting MSRP: $34,300): This FWD model comes with a sport-tuned suspension, 16" alloy wheels, heated front seats, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0.

Safety is a top priority for Toyota, and the Camry comes standard with Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes features like Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist.
