Toyota has given the 2025 Camry a major overhaul, marking the start of its ninth generation. The latest model arrives with a hybrid-only lineup, sharper styling, and significant upgrades to its interior and technology. While the beloved V6 engine has been dropped, Toyota promises stronger fuel efficiency and a more refined driving experience.
Highlights
- Price Range: $29,895 – $37,620
- Powertrain: Hybrid-only (FWD & AWD options)
- Combined Power Output: Up to 232 hp
- EPA Mileage: 44–51 mpg combined
- Seating Capacity: 5 passengers
- Cargo Space: 15 cubic feet
What’s New for 2025
The Camry now features all-hybrid powertrains—a first in its history. Exterior styling has been updated, while the cabin borrows design cues from the larger Toyota Crown. Inside, buyers will find a more modern layout, advanced infotainment, and improved comfort features.
Engine, Performance, and Ride
Two hybrid powertrains are available:
- FWD models: 2.5L four-cylinder + two electric motors, producing 225 hp.
- AWD models: Adds a third motor for a combined 232 hp.
Both setups are paired with a CVT automatic transmission. In testing, the Camry XSE AWD clocked 0–60 mph in 6.8 seconds, making it quicker than the outgoing hybrid but slower than rivals like the Honda Accord Hybrid.
Sportier SE and XSE trims feature stiffer suspension tuning for improved handling, though steering feedback remains a weak point.
Fuel Economy
- LE FWD: 53 mpg city / 50 mpg highway
- LE AWD: 51 mpg city / 49 mpg highway
- XSE AWD (top trim): 44 mpg city / 43 mpg highway
On a 75-mph highway test, the Camry XSE AWD matched its 43 mpg rating, highlighting Toyota’s consistency in real-world fuel efficiency.
Interior and Comfort
The Camry’s cabin has been redesigned for a more upscale feel. Key features include:
- Spacious seating for adults in both rows
- Standard dual-zone automatic climate control and rear air vents
- Cloth upholstery standard; leather, heated seats, and ambient lighting available on higher trims
- Acoustic glass and an auto-dimming mirror on premium models
Cargo capacity remains a practical 15 cubic feet.
Infotainment and Connectivity
- 8-inch touchscreen standard
- 12.3-inch display is optional on SE, standard on XLE and XSE
- Digital gauge cluster on all trims, a fully digital 12.3-inch version for higher trims
- Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto standard
- Optional 9-speaker JBL premium audio on top trims
Safety Features
All 2025 Camry models come with Toyota’s latest driver-assistance suite, including:
- Automated emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection
- Lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
- Adaptive cruise control with lane-centering
- Automatic high-beams
The Camry has earned strong ratings from both NHTSA and IIHS, reinforcing its safety-first appeal.
Warranty and Maintenance
- Limited Warranty: 3 years / 36,000 miles
- Powertrain Warranty: 5 years / 60,000 miles
- Hybrid Components: 10 years / 150,000 miles
- Complimentary Maintenance: 2 years / 25,000 miles
Verdict
The 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid may no longer offer a V6, but its fuel savings, refined design, and upgraded interior make it one of the strongest players in the mid-size sedan market. Positioned against rivals like the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia K5, the Camry stands out for its balance of efficiency, reliability, and comfort.
