• In 2025, the ninth version of the Toyota Camry will go on sale around the world.
  • The Camry will only come in hybrid form for the first time.
  • A lot of the new cabin’s design came from the Crown car.

SUVs have taken over the road like a solar eclipse with bumpers, but mid-size cars are still a good choice for families who want something a little more grounded. Honda released a new version of the Accord last year, and Hyundai just finished making changes to the Sonata. Toyota Camry has a chance to shine now that it has hybrid power, which already makes it better than both of its main rivals.

The Toyota Camry will be fully hybrid by 2025, and all trims will have all-wheel drive

Every time, it’s a full mix

The engine in the 2025 Camry will be familiar to people who have driven any of Toyota’s other new hybrid cars, like the Crown Signia. The latest hybrid technology from Toyota blends two or three electric motors with a gasoline engine that is normally aspirated and 2.5 liters in size. The first two motors are in the front and help make front-driven power. All-wheel drive adds more grip by putting a third motor out back. This is a first for hybrid Camrys and is available on all four trim levels. The power output of AWD hybrids is 232 horsepower, seven more than FWD hybrids. Automatic transmissions that change gears all the time come standard on both models.

Renovations inside and outside

Some C/D writers have asked if the Camry’s new look is better than a mid-cycle refresh, but it’s smart to stick with what works. There is a clear difference between the front and back of the ninth-generation Camry. The new headlights have the same running-light style as the Crown and Prius. Its front lip is still something to compare it to. From the side, it looks more like a regular Camry, and the new taillights on the back make it look both new and old.

At the same time, some more things have been brought into the house. The Camry and Crown have a lot in common, like a medium-to-high center console, a rising console trim piece that goes around the passenger, and the same steering wheel. (Thank goodness the Camry doesn’t have the Crown’s small trunk space.) It has five USB ports spread out across two rows and a portable charger for your phone. The SE and LE models, which are more sporty, come with an 8.0-inch touchscreen for entertainment and a partially digital 8.0-inch gauge panel. The XLE and XSE models, on the other hand, have bigger screens that are 12.3 inches overall.

Trim Levels and Costs

There are four different trims, and each one is split in half. The most luxurious trim levels are LE and XLE. The XLE adds ambient lighting, keyless entry, wider wheels, better headlights, leather seats, a heated steering wheel, and acoustic glass on the front sides. There are two sportier versions, the SE and XSE. They have black accents and different wheel styles, as well as their own (probably stronger) suspension settings. The XSE also has a body-colored rear diffuser, two exhaust tips, and a big black piece of trim that goes between the headlights.

People will be able to buy the 2025 Toyota Camry in 2024. The standard Camry hybrid costs between just under $30,000 and just over $35,000. The exact price has yet to be set. Because the new one has a lot of fancy tech, we expect the price to go up a little but still be affordable overall.
