2025 Toyota Camry: A Hybrid Future Awaits

There is no doubt that the 2025 Toyota Camry has been the best-selling sedan for quite a while. Things will change somewhat in 2025, though. If you have been waiting for a new Camry, you might be glad you are doing so since there’s much that the new model has to offer.

Once upon a time, sedans were America’s favorite cars. The Camry would remember that day fondly. Now, however, the sales of SUVs are much higher. For 2025, the Camry has lots of updates. The front end is new, and it comes across as fresh inside. You can now get all-wheel drive with hybrid power. Toyota calls this the ninth generation of Camry, but it feels more like a big refresh.

What’s New?

Camry comes as a hybrid only this year. Get a V6 engine from the 2024 models. The side profile both for 2024 and 2025 models shares the same theme. Platform wise, it’s the same; it’s improved as far as suspension and brakes are concerned.

Pricing and Trims

The LE base model starts at $29,500 with destination fees included. The top-of-the-line model, the XSE with all-wheel drive, is going to set you back around $45,550. This features a really nice two-tone paint job and includes that JBL sound system.

Powertrain

Now, the Camry has a different type of hybrid engine. A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine comes along with an electric motor. Here are 225 horsepower for all front-wheel drive models, and 232 horsepower for all-wheel drive models. The all-wheel drive system is pretty unique. It uses an electric motor that drove the rear tires; thus, no drive shaft goes to the back.

Driving Experience

The CVT-Camry comes with a CVT. The Camry has some great options that allow it to be a silky-smooth ride, making shifting imitations of a manual-like vehicle. There are various drive modes, too. The sport mode could create a very responsive vehicle, making it go from 0-60 mph in around 7 seconds. This has all-wheel drive, an option for $1,500, and applied to all of the trims.

Ride Quality

The Camry feels comfortable to drive. It’s not as soft as previous years, but it is sporty enough. The steering is light, and you can feel some body roll when turning. Other than that, the ride is fairly smooth so it’s good for the daily commute.

Fuel Economy

On the other hand, the front-wheel drive LE version features an impressive EPA rating of 51 MPG. The XSE, which is equipped with all-wheel drive, rates at 44 MPG. That, however, is still a good benchmark for a midsize sedan. Competitors, such as Hyundai Sonata and Honda Accord hybrids, fall in the same range but do not offer all-wheel drive.

Safety Features

There’s also safety technology, aplenty: automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and on the XSE and XLE trims, a traffic jam assist. Toyota is always using itself as the standard by which safety features are measured, and the Camry sticks to this pattern.

Interior and Technology

The Camry’s interior is contemporary and sleek, plus of course, a huge display of 12.3 inches in the top trim; most functions can be controlled by voice command, a welcome safety feature. There’s also a wireless charging pad and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Rear Seat Comfort

The back seat has ample room. There is enough head and legroom for passengers. Seats are comfortable, though heating is not available in back seats. Large openings make getting into and out of the car easy.

Trunk Space

Trunk size is identical to the 2024 model at 15.1 cubic feet. You can fit in here several bags, but do not forget that small parts may get stuck there because the hinges are a bit tricky.

Conclusion

The 2025 Toyota Camry is among the top choices of midsize sedans. It comes with many new features and an even more powerful engine and great fuel efficiency. This just may be the reliable sedan you’ve always been searching for. Far from being a full redesign, it certainly holds a whole lot of improvement in itself.
