The 2025 Toyota Camry is now on sale and it is shaking up the midsize sedan segment!Toyota is going all hybrid for the ninth-generation model – the traditional gas-only engines are being dropped. With four trims—LE, SE, XLE, and XSE—the Camry is melding efficiency with style and performance now more than ever. Loaded with all the latest technology and safety features and boasting a great design, the only question to answer is if you are an environmentally-friendly driver or just like a great ride. And with competitive starting prices, it’s obvious Toyota still wants the Camry to be a leader in its segment.  

Strategic Shift and Core Performance

What that means for 2025, that means the 10th-generation is available-standard as a hybrid powertrain. The fifth generation Toyota Camry is available only as a hybrid, utilizing the Toyota Hybrid System with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine along with electric motors. This strategic shift dramatically elevates the baseline performance and results in exponential returns in efficiency. 

The default Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) setup has Rated Combined 225 horsepower output. For those who choose the Electronic On Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD), which is optional, the system adds an additional rear electric motor and output rises to 232 net combined horsepower. Power is transmitted via an Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT).  

The hybrid system requirement makes the 2025 Camry no less powerful and a whole lot more efficient than last stable’s base gasoline trim. With the instant torque of the electric motors, the car feels more lively around town and enables the sedan to deliver respectable 0-60 mph times between 6.8 and 7.7 seconds. 

Driving Dynamics and AWD Trade-Offs

The chassis received revised suspension and brake systems engineered to attain an ideal harmony of ride comfort and handling stability. Tighter body control in cornering is the result of sport-tuned independent front and multi-link rear suspensions on the SE and XSE trims, particularly the latter.

Four different grades are available with the same AWD system engineered primarily for traction on diverse surfaces. It does come with a slight power increase of 7 horsepower over the FWD option, but it undoubtedly needs to be measured against the efficiency. Oil may be customers first choice in order to achieve the best fuel economy for maximum, but AWD models has a rather heavy penalty on mileage due to the extra weight and drag of the electronic AWD system so if your focus is absolute best fuel economy and you don’t want to drive in the snow, FWD is your better bet. 

Fuel Efficiency and Cost Analysis

The 2025 Camry is able to deliver best-in-class efficiency ratings with the standard THS 5 system equipped. The entry-level LE front wheel drive model sets the bar closer to the stars with a combined 51 MPG (53 city/50 highway) figure from the manufacturer. 

The standard THS 5 system allows the 2025 Camry to achieve best-in-class efficiency ratings. The base LE FWD model sets the bar higher with a manufacturer-estimated 51 combined mpg (53 city/50 highway).

Pricing Structure and Standard Features

XSE: Starting at $34,600, the top sport model comes with 19-inch smoked gray/black wheels.  

While it’s a bit pricier at the bottom end, the addition of the hybrid system and important standard tech makes it easy for the buyer to justify the expense. The base LE includes dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless smartphone charging, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. 

Interior Technology and Digital Segmentation

The cabin has been completely re-engineered for the ultimate comfort and latest technology. One of the levers in making the value proposition clear across the grades is the size of the digital displays. Its 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia screen is standard with LE and SE trims. 

However, the XLE and XSE models receive a significant upgrade: a massive 12.3-inch touchscreen that is flanked on the right by an identical size digital instrument cluster. This dramatic increase in digital real estate is one of the memorable tacit codes used to distinguish the mid/upper-trims. These luxury models also offer optional features including a 10-inch color Head Up Display (HUD) and heated and ventilated front seats. And most importantly, modern connectivity isn’t locked away: Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all models in the lineup.
