The Toyota Camry, a name synonymous with reliability and class-leading sales in the US sedan market for over two decades, is entering a bold new era with the unveiling of the 2025 Camry. This ninth-generation model isn’t just an evolution; it’s a revolution, embracing an exclusively hybrid powertrain across its entire lineup. Prepare to be impressed by the 2025 Camry’s striking design, innovative technology, and enhanced performance, all while maintaining Toyota’s legendary reputation for quality and dependability.
The heart of the 2025 Camry is Toyota’s advanced fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5). This sophisticated system, paired with a refined 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine, delivers a potent combination of power and efficiency. Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) models boast an impressive 225 net-combined horsepower, while Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) variants take it a step further with 232 HP. But power doesn’t come at the expense of fuel economy. The 2025 Camry LE FWD grade achieves a manufacturer-estimated combined 51 MPG, setting a new benchmark for fuel-efficient sedans.
All-Wheel Drive Hybrid Camry: A First for Toyota
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 you’re facing challenging weather conditions, accelerating from a standstill, or navigating winding roads, the AWD system enhances traction and control, offering drivers added confidence in various driving scenarios. This advanced AWD system also contributes to the increased horsepower of the AWD models, making the 2025 Camry AWD an even more compelling option.
Enhanced Driving Dynamics: Handling and Comfort
Toyota engineers have meticulously re-engineered the suspension and braking systems of the 2025 Camry to deliver a refined driving experience that balances agile handling with exceptional comfort. All models feature a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, optimized for responsiveness and stability. The SE and XSE grades take handling a step further with a sport-tuned suspension that includes new shock absorbers and a larger diameter front stabilizer bar. This sport-tuned suspension enhances stability and handling without compromising ride comfort, ensuring an engaging and confident driving experience.
The 2025 Camry also benefits from an enhanced braking system. The Electronically Controlled Braking system (ECB) provides a more responsive and controlled brake feel thanks to a new pump motor in the brake actuator. Drivers can further tailor their driving experience with selectable NORMAL, ECO, and SPORT driving modes, allowing them to prioritize fuel efficiency or dynamic performance based on their preferences.
Striking and Sleek Exterior Design
The 2025 Camry showcases a bold and athletic exterior design, crafted by CALTY’s studios in Newport Beach, California, and Ann Arbor, Michigan. The distinctive “hammerhead” front fascia gives the Camry a modern and recognizable Toyota identity. LED headlights and daytime running lights are standard across all grades.
The comfort-focused LE and XLE grades feature a refined front grille design, with a horizontal bar in black on the LE and a dark metallic grey finish on the XLE. The XLE further distinguishes itself with chrome window trim and a chrome Camry name badge. The sporty SE and XSE grades exude aggression with sport-mesh front grilles, side sport rockers, and black accents that accentuate the sleek roofline and sculpted body. Functional aerodynamic elements like front side air ducts, canards, a rear spoiler, and a rear diffuser enhance the racing-inspired design. The SE and XSE grades also feature a gloss black Camry name badge, with the XSE adding a unique blacked-out trunk garnish. The XSE stands out even further with a color-matched front grille, front side canards, and rear diffuser. Wheel options range from 16-inch alloys on the LE to 19-inch black and smoke gray-finished alloys on the XSE.
New exterior colors like Ocean Gem and Heavy Metal join existing favorites, including Ice Cap, Wind Chill Pearl, Celestial Silver Metallic, Underground, Midnight Black Metallic, Supersonic Red, and Reservoir Blue. The XSE grade offers a two-tone option, pairing Ocean Gem, Wind Chill Pearl, Heavy Metal, or Supersonic Red with a Midnight Black Metallic roof.
Refined and Tech-Forward Interior
The interior of the 2025 Camry is designed with a modern open-concept feel and premium materials, creating a unique ambiance for each grade. Sport grades like the SE feature SofTex®-trimmed seats with sporty white accents, while the XSE upgrades to leather-trimmed seats with a distinctive “shooting blade” perforation pattern. The XSE interior is available in Black with blue perforations or Cockpit Red. Both SE and XSE models include aluminum sport pedals and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters.
Comfort grades LE and XLE offer their own distinct interior styles. The LE features a wave-inspired embossed pattern on fabric seats, while the XLE elevates the experience with a combination of leather and Dinamica® microfiber trim, available in Light Gray or Black, with a quilted pattern on the door panels and dashboard.
Seat comfort is enhanced in the 2025 Camry through redesigned seat cushions, increased cushion length, and softened, rearward-positioned headrests. Heated front seats are standard on XLE and XSE, optional on LE and SE. Ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel are available on higher grades. XLE and XSE models come standard with 8-way power-adjustable driver and passenger seats. A quieter cabin is achieved in XLE and XSE grades thanks to standard front-side acoustic laminated glass.
Convenience features include standard Push Button Start, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear air vents, and available driver’s memory seat, memory side view mirrors, and rain-sensing windshield wipers on the XLE grade. For the first time in a Camry hybrid, a panoramic sunroof is optional on XLE and XSE models.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Connectivity
The 2025 Camry is packed with advanced technology features. LE and SE models feature a standard 7-inch digital gauge cluster, while XLE and XSE grades boast a 12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster. A 10-inch Head-Up Display is available on XLE and XSE, projecting essential driving information onto the windshield.
The Toyota Audio Multimedia System includes a standard 8-inch touchscreen or an available 12.3-inch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. A Qi wireless charging pad and five USB ports are standard. Enhanced connectivity features include dual Bluetooth® phone connectivity, Wi-Fi Connect trial/subscription, and Drive Connect trial or subscription for Intelligent Assistant voice control and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates. Integrated Streaming allows linking Apple Music® and Amazon Music subscriptions. A nine-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system is optional on XLE and XSE.
