2025 Toyota Hybrid Camry: Redefining the Sedan with Exclusively Hybrid Power

PLANO, Texas (April 18, 2024) – For 22 years, the Toyota Camry has reigned supreme as America’s best-selling sedan, a testament to its captivating design, unwavering quality, and legendary dependability. The all-new 2025 Toyota Hybrid Camry is set to elevate this legacy, embracing an exclusively hybrid powertrain while sporting a bold, athletic exterior, a meticulously crafted interior, and cutting-edge technology features.

Toyota’s leadership in hybrid technology is undisputed, and the ninth-generation hybrid Camry showcases the pinnacle of this expertise. The 2025 hybrid Camry integrates the advanced fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5) with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine. This combination delivers a robust 225 net-combined horsepower in Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) models and an even more impressive 232 HP in Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) configurations. Moreover, the hybrid Camry achieves exceptional fuel efficiency, boasting a manufacturer-estimated combined 51 MPG rating for the LE FWD grade, making it a leader in its class.

A groundbreaking addition to the hybrid Camry lineup is the availability of Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) across all four trim levels: LE, SE, XLE, and XSE. This marks the first time AWD is offered on a hybrid Camry, providing enhanced confidence and control. Utilizing a dedicated rear electric motor, the AWD system seamlessly distributes power to the rear wheels when needed most – be it in challenging weather conditions, during brisk acceleration, or while navigating winding roads.

The 2025 hybrid Camry models are anticipated to arrive at Toyota dealerships in late spring 2024, with a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $28,400*. Remarkably, this entry price point is over $400 less than the previous Camry Hybrid base grade, while offering an expanded suite of standard features, making the hybrid Camry an even more compelling value proposition.

*MSRP Excludes Dealer Processing and Handling fee of $1,095. All prices are subject to change.

Uncompromising Hybrid Performance

The 2025 Toyota hybrid Camry is engineered for performance without sacrificing efficiency. The heart of the hybrid Camry is the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5), working in harmony with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine to produce a standard 225 net-combined horsepower in FWD models. This powertrain not only delivers the most standard horsepower ever offered in a Camry but also achieves outstanding fuel economy, with an EPA-estimated 51 MPG combined for the LE FWD grade. The system incorporates lighter and more compact electric motor generators, resulting in increased power and improved performance compared to previous iterations.

Toyota engineers have meticulously calibrated the new THS 5 system to provide a more responsive and natural acceleration feel. This refined driving experience is achieved by optimizing power delivery from the Lithium-Ion traction battery through the electric motor generator, effectively minimizing abrupt increases in engine RPMs during acceleration.

Complementing the hybrid system is an electronically controlled Continuous Variable Transmission (eCVT). This intelligent transmission seamlessly selects the optimal gear ratio based on throttle input, maximizing fuel efficiency and ensuring smooth power delivery in the hybrid Camry.

All-Weather Confidence with Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive

For drivers seeking enhanced peace of mind in various driving conditions, the 2025 hybrid Camry offers Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) across all grades. This system is expertly integrated with THS 5, employing an electric motor generator on the rear axle to deliver a combined 232 net-combined horsepower – a significant 30 horsepower increase over the previous mechanical All-Wheel Drive model.

The AWD system in the hybrid Camry provides precise and instantaneous front-rear torque distribution, adapting to diverse driving scenarios. Whether accelerating from a standstill, navigating challenging road surfaces, or cornering, the system ensures optimal traction and stability. In slippery conditions or when tire grip is compromised, the system proactively distributes torque to the rear wheels, enhancing traction and keeping the hybrid Camry firmly on the intended path, boosting driver confidence.

Refined Handling and Exceptional Comfort

The 2025 hybrid Camry strikes an ideal balance between dynamic handling and serene comfort. The retuned suspension delivers enhanced responsiveness and agile handling, adding an element of driving pleasure to every journey. All hybrid Camry models feature a meticulously engineered MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. The SE and XSE grades elevate the driving experience further with a sport-tuned suspension, incorporating new shock absorbers in both the front and rear, along with a larger diameter front stabilizer bar. This sport-tuned setup enhances stability, handling precision, and driver confidence without compromising ride comfort in the hybrid Camry.

Further enhancing control and driver engagement is the newly developed braking system, providing improved brake feel. The Electronically Controlled Braking system (ECB) utilizes on-demand pressurization via a new pump motor within the brake actuator, resulting in greater braking modulation and a more confident brake feel in the hybrid Camry.

Drivers can personalize their hybrid Camry driving experience with standard selectable NORMAL, ECO, and SPORT driving modes, tailoring the vehicle’s responsiveness to their preferences.

Sleek and Athletic Design

The ninth-generation hybrid Camry, a product of CALTY’s design studios in Newport Beach, California, and Ann Arbor, Michigan, showcases a sleeker and more athletic aesthetic. The distinctive hammerhead front fascia imparts a fresh and modern design signature that is unmistakably Toyota. LED headlights and daytime running lights are standard across all hybrid Camry grades.

The LE and XLE comfort grades of the hybrid Camry present a refined style, featuring a horizontal bar front grille in black on the LE and a dark metallic grey finish on the XLE. The LE now comes standard with 16-inch alloy wheels, while the XLE is equipped with 18-inch black and machine-finished alloy wheels. The XLE further distinguishes itself with chrome-finished window trim and a chrome-finished Camry name badge, emphasizing its premium appeal within the hybrid Camry lineup.

The SE and XSE sport grades inject an aggressive and sporty flair into the hybrid Camry range. They feature sport-mesh front grilles, side sport rockers, and black accents that accentuate the sleek roofline and sculpted body. Functional front side air ducts, canards, a rear spoiler, and a rear diffuser contribute to the racing-inspired design, enhancing aerodynamic performance. An exposed dual-tip exhaust further underscores the sporty character of these hybrid Camry models. The Camry name badge is rendered in gloss black on both sport grades, with the XSE badge further enhanced by a unique blacked-out trunk garnish. The XSE commands attention with a color-matched front grille, front side canards, and rear diffuser, amplifying its sporty styling in the hybrid Camry family. The SE rides on 18-inch black-finished alloy wheels, while the top-of-the-line XSE boasts 19-inch black and smoke gray-finished alloy wheels.

Exterior color options for the hybrid Camry include newly introduced Ocean Gem and Heavy Metal, joining popular Camry hues such as Ice Cap, Wind Chill Pearl, Celestial Silver Metallic, Underground, Midnight Black Metallic, Supersonic Red, and Reservoir Blue. The XSE grade offers an optional two-tone treatment, pairing Ocean Gem, Wind Chill Pearl, Heavy Metal, and Supersonic Red with a Midnight Black Metallic roof, allowing for further personalization of the hybrid Camry.
