Now only a hybrid
Toyota, which sells about 300,000 Camrys a year, has unveiled the ninth generation of its popular sedan. The 2025 Toyota Camry is available exclusively as a hybrid, and buyers can choose between front- or all-wheel drive configurations, as well as LE, SE, XLE and XSE trim levels.
Its hybrid powertrain combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with electric motors. The front-wheel drive version is equipped with two electric motors with a total power of 225 hp. The AWD version adds a third motor-generator to the rear axle, increasing total power to 232 hp.
Both powertrains use an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT). The hybrid system uses a lithium-ion battery, but Toyota is not revealing its capacity until after the launch of the new Camry.
The ninth-generation Camry is a major update, not a completely new car. The 2025 model is based on the same TNGA-K platform that was used in the eighth generation model. There’s a reworked suspension with new shock absorbers and revised tuning. The automaker touts the setup as offering “enhanced responsiveness and agility.”

The 2025 Camry looks similar to the eighth-generation model, with a large lower front grille and thin headlights. The new model received standard LED headlights, running lights and taillights. Ocean Gem and Heavy Metal are new available paint options in addition to the current Camry Ice Cap, Wind Chill Pearl, Celestial Silver Metallic, Underground, Midnight Black Metallic, Supersonic Red and Reservoir Blue.
The XSE model gets a body-color lower fascia, black trunk trim and 19-inch wheels. It is available with a Midnight Black Metallic roof paired with Ocean Gem, Wind Chill Pearl, Heavy Metal and Supersonic Red.
The Camry comes with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8-inch infotainment screen. XLE and XSE feature 12.3-inch displays for instrumentation and multimedia functions. The technology includes support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless networks, as well as a wireless charging pad. Higher-level classrooms also feature a 10-inch head-up display. A nine-speaker JBL stereo system is available.
All 2025 Camrys are equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite of technologies, including a pre-collision system that detects vehicles and pedestrians, adaptive cruise control, lane departure assist, road sign assist, automatic high beams, monitoring blind spot and rear cross traffic alert. XLE and XSE offer an optional Premium Plus package that adds Traffic Jam Assist, front cross-traffic alert, lane change assist, a panoramic view monitor, and front and rear park assist with automatic braking.
The new Camry will go on sale in spring 2024. Prices are not yet known.
