The Toyota Camry, a name synonymous with reliability and best-selling status in the US sedan market for over two decades, is entering a new era. The 2025 Toyota Camry marks the ninth generation of this iconic vehicle, and it arrives with a significant shift: an exclusively hybrid powertrain lineup. This move, combined with a refreshed athletic design, a modern interior, and cutting-edge technology, positions the 2025 Camry to not only maintain its dominance but also to redefine the sedan segment.
Toyota’s leadership in hybrid technology is undeniable, and the 2025 Camry fully embraces this expertise. Every 2025 Camry model will feature the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5), paired with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine. This combination delivers a robust 225 net-combined horsepower in front-wheel-drive (FWD) configurations and an even more impressive 232 horsepower in models equipped with Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD). Fuel efficiency is also a major highlight, with the LE FWD grade achieving a manufacturer-estimated combined 51 MPG rating, making it a leader in its class.
A notable advancement for the 2025 Toyota Camry hybrid is the availability of Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) across all trim levels: LE, SE, XLE, and XSE. This system, utilizing a dedicated rear electric motor, provides enhanced traction by sending power to the rear wheels when needed. This is particularly beneficial in challenging weather conditions, during rapid acceleration, or when navigating corners, offering drivers increased confidence and control.
Expected to arrive at Toyota dealerships in late spring 2024, the 2025 Toyota Camry boasts a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $28,400*. Remarkably, this price point is over $400 less than the previous Camry Hybrid base grade, while offering an expanded list of standard features.
*MSRP Excludes Dealer Processing and Handling fee of $1,095. All prices are subject to change.
All-Hybrid Powertrain: Power and Efficiency Unleashed
The heart of the 2025 Toyota Camry is its fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5), a sophisticated powertrain that seamlessly blends power and fuel economy. The 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine, in conjunction with the hybrid system, produces a standard 225 net-combined horsepower for FWD models. This marks the highest standard horsepower ever offered in a Camry, accompanied by exceptional fuel efficiency, estimated at 51 MPG combined for the LE FWD trim. The system’s enhanced performance is attributed to lighter and more compact electric motor generators, resulting in increased power output compared to previous generations.
Toyota engineers have meticulously refined the THS 5 system to deliver a more intuitive and natural acceleration experience. By optimizing the power delivery from the lithium-ion traction battery to the electric motor generator, the system minimizes abrupt increases in engine RPM during acceleration, creating a smoother and more refined driving feel.
Complementing the hybrid system is an electronically controlled Continuous Variable Transmission (eCVT). This intelligent transmission continuously adjusts the gear ratio to match throttle input, ensuring optimal fuel efficiency and responsive performance across various driving conditions.
Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive: Enhanced Traction for All-Weather Confidence
For drivers seeking enhanced stability and control, the 2025 Toyota Camry offers Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) across all grades. This system is specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly with the THS 5 hybrid powertrain. By incorporating an electric motor generator on the rear axle, the AWD system delivers a total of 232 net-combined horsepower, a 30-horsepower increase compared to the previous mechanical AWD Camry model.
The Electronic On-Demand AWD system dynamically distributes torque between the front and rear wheels based on driving conditions. This precise torque distribution enhances acceleration from a standstill, improves handling agility, and boosts stability in everyday driving scenarios. In situations where road surfaces become slippery or tire grip is compromised, the system proactively directs torque to the rear wheels, maximizing traction and helping drivers maintain their intended path with greater assurance.
Re-Engineered Suspension and Braking: Balancing Comfort and Agile Handling
The 2025 Toyota Camry has undergone significant chassis enhancements to deliver a refined balance of ride comfort and responsive handling. The retuned suspension system provides improved responsiveness and agile handling, injecting a sense of driving enjoyment, particularly on winding roads. All Camry models feature a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, optimized for both comfort and control.
The SE and XSE grades take handling a step further with a sport-tuned suspension. This includes new shock absorbers in both the front and rear, along with a larger diameter front stabilizer bar. These upgrades result in enhanced comfort while further improving stability, handling precision, and driver confidence behind the wheel.
Braking performance is also enhanced in the 2025 Camry, thanks to a newly adopted braking system. The Electronically Controlled Braking system (ECB) utilizes on-demand pressurization via a new pump motor in the brake actuator. This system provides more precise brake force modulation, resulting in improved controllability and brake feel for the driver.
Drivers can further tailor the Camry’s driving dynamics with standard selectable NORMAL, ECO, and SPORT driving modes, allowing for customization to personal preferences and driving conditions.
Sleek and Athletic Exterior Design: A Modern Silhouette
The ninth-generation Camry showcases a striking new exterior design, developed by CALTY design studios in Newport Beach, California, and Ann Arbor, Michigan. The 2025 Camry adopts a sleeker and more athletic stance, presenting a modern and dynamic aesthetic. The distinctive hammerhead front fascia is a key design element, contributing to a fresh and contemporary look that aligns with Toyota’s evolving design language. All grades are equipped with LED headlights and daytime running lights, enhancing both style and visibility.
Comfort-focused grades, such as the LE and XLE, feature a refined front grille design. The LE sports a horizontal bar front grille in black, while the XLE receives a dark metallic grey finish. The LE now comes standard with 16-inch alloy wheels, and the XLE upgrades to 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.
The SE and XSE grades exude a more aggressive and sporty character. These models 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 and enhance aerodynamic performance. A dual-tip exhaust is exposed at the rear, further emphasizing the sporty impression. The Camry name badge is finished in gloss black on both sport grades, with the XSE badge adding a unique blacked-out trunk garnish. The XSE model amplifies the sporty styling with a color-matched front grille, front side canards, and rear diffuser. Wheel designs for the sport grades include 18-inch black-finished alloys on the SE and range-topping 19-inch black and smoke gray-finished alloy wheels on the XSE.
The 2025 Camry expands its exterior color palette with new options like Ocean Gem and Heavy Metal, joining existing favorites 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 finish, pairing Ocean Gem, Wind Chill Pearl, Heavy Metal, or Supersonic Red with a Midnight Black Metallic roof.
