The All-New 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid: Redefining the Sedan Segment

Toyota has long been synonymous with reliability, quality, and innovation, and the Camry has been a flagship model, dominating the best-selling sedan category in the U.S. for over two decades. Building on this legacy, Toyota is thrilled to introduce the 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid, a vehicle that takes the Camry legacy to new heights. This ninth-generation Camry marks a significant shift, going exclusively hybrid and blending a striking exterior, a completely redesigned interior, and cutting-edge technology.

Electrified Performance: The Heart of the 2025 Camry Hybrid

The 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid is powered by Toyota’s advanced fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5). This system is paired with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine, delivering a robust 225 net-combined horsepower in Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) models. For those seeking enhanced traction and all-weather capability, the Camry Hybrid also offers Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD), boosting the net-combined horsepower to an impressive 232 HP.

Fuel efficiency remains a key highlight, with the 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid LE FWD grade achieving a manufacturer-estimated combined 51 MPG rating. This combination of power and efficiency solidifies the Camry Hybrid as a leader in its class.

For the first time in a Camry Hybrid, Toyota introduces the option of Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) across all trim levels – LE, SE, XLE, and XSE. This intelligent system utilizes a dedicated rear electric motor to provide power to the rear wheels when needed. Whether facing challenging weather conditions, accelerating from a standstill, or navigating winding roads, the AWD system enhances traction and control, ensuring a confident driving experience.

The 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid is anticipated to arrive at Toyota dealerships in late spring 2024, with an attractive starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $28,400*. Remarkably, this starting price is over $400 less than the previous Camry Hybrid base grade, while offering an expanded list of standard features.

*MSRP Excludes Dealer Processing and Handling fee of $1,095. All prices are subject to change.

Uncompromising Hybrid Performance and Efficiency

The 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid delivers more than just exceptional fuel economy. It offers the most standard horsepower ever in a Camry, with 225 net-combined horsepower in FWD configurations. The fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5) utilizes lighter and more compact electric motor generators, resulting in increased power and enhanced performance compared to previous iterations.

Toyota engineers have meticulously tuned the THS 5 system to provide a more responsive and natural acceleration feel. By optimizing the power delivery from the lithium-ion traction battery through the electric motor generator, the system minimizes abrupt engine speed increases during acceleration, creating a smoother and more refined driving experience.

Complementing the hybrid system is an Electronically controlled Continuous Variable Transmission (eCVT). This intelligent transmission seamlessly selects the optimal gear ratio based on throttle input, maximizing fuel efficiency and ensuring smooth power delivery across various driving conditions.

All-Weather Confidence: Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive

Expanding its capability and appeal, the 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid offers Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) across all grades. This system, specifically adapted for seamless integration with THS 5, employs a rear axle electric motor generator to deliver a total of 232 net-combined horsepower. This represents a significant 30-horsepower increase over the outgoing model equipped with mechanical All-Wheel Drive.

The AWD system provides precise and responsive torque distribution between the front and rear wheels, adapting to driving conditions in real-time. This ensures optimal traction during acceleration, enhanced handling in everyday driving, and improved stability. In slippery conditions or when tire grip is compromised, the system proactively directs torque to the rear wheels, maximizing traction and helping drivers maintain control and confidence.

Refined Driving Dynamics: Handling and Comfort

The 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid is engineered to deliver a balanced and engaging driving experience. The retuned suspension provides enhanced responsiveness and agile handling, making every drive enjoyable, especially on winding roads. All models feature a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, optimized for both comfort and control.

For a sportier driving experience, the SE and XSE grades feature a sport-tuned suspension with specially calibrated shock absorbers and a larger diameter front stabilizer bar. This sport-tuned suspension enhances stability and handling, providing drivers with even greater confidence and control behind the wheel, without compromising ride comfort.

The braking system has also been enhanced, delivering improved brake feel. The Electronically Controlled Braking system (ECB) utilizes a new pump motor in the brake actuator to provide on-demand pressurization, resulting in greater controllability and a more confident brake feel.

Drivers can further personalize their driving experience with selectable NORMAL, ECO, and SPORT driving modes, allowing them to tailor the Camry Hybrid’s performance to their preferences and driving conditions.

Striking and Athletic Design

The ninth-generation Toyota Camry Hybrid boasts a sleek and athletic design, crafted by CALTY’s studios in Newport Beach, California, and Ann Arbor, Michigan. The distinctive hammerhead front face establishes a fresh and modern aesthetic, becoming a signature Toyota design element. LED headlights and daytime running lights are standard across all grades, providing enhanced visibility and a premium look.

The LE and XLE comfort grades showcase a refined style, featuring a horizontal bar front grille in black (LE) or dark metallic grey (XLE). The LE now comes standard with 16-inch alloy wheels, while the XLE is equipped with 18-inch black and machine-finished alloy wheels. The XLE further distinguishes itself with chrome-finished window trim and a chrome Camry name badge.

The SE and XSE sport grades exude aggressive styling with sport-mesh front grilles, side sport rockers, and black accents that complement the sleek roofline and sculpted body. Functional front side air ducts, canards, a rear spoiler, and a rear diffuser contribute to the racing-inspired design and enhance aerodynamic performance. An exposed dual-tip exhaust further emphasizes the sporty character. Both sport grades feature a gloss black Camry name badge, with the XSE’s badge accented by a unique blacked-out trunk garnish. The XSE takes sporty styling to the next level with a color-matched front grille, front side canards, and rear diffuser. The SE rides on 18-inch black-finished alloy wheels, while the XSE boasts range-topping 19-inch black and smoke gray-finished alloy wheels.

Exterior color options include new additions like Ocean Gem and Heavy Metal, joining Camry favorites such as Ice Cap, Wind Chill Pearl, Celestial Silver Metallic, Underground, Midnight Black Metallic, Supersonic Red, and Reservoir Blue. The XSE grade offers an available two-tone finish, pairing Ocean Gem, Wind Chill Pearl, Heavy Metal, or Supersonic Red with a Midnight Black Metallic roof.

The interior of the 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid seamlessly blends Toyota’s renowned craftsmanship with a modern, open-concept design and premium materials. Each grade features a unique interior ambiance.

The sport-oriented SE grade features SofTex®-trimmed seats with sporty white accents in Boulder or Black. The XSE elevates the interior with standard leather-trimmed seats featuring artistic “shooting blade” patterned perforations on the side door trim and seating surfaces. The XSE interior is available in Black with blue-lined perforations or the striking Cockpit Red. Both SE and XSE grades include aluminum sport pedals, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, and a leather-wrapped shift knob.

A quilted pattern with Dinamica® trim is also incorporated into the front door panels and dashboard.

Seat comfort is enhanced throughout the 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid lineup. Toyota engineers redesigned the seat cushion shape and density and increased cushion length. Softer headrests, repositioned rearward, further enhance seat ergonomics and ride comfort. Heated front seats are standard on XLE and XSE and optional on LE and SE grades. Higher grades also offer available ventilated front seats and a standard heated steering wheel. XLE and XSE grades feature standard 8-way power-adjustable driver and passenger seats.
