Building on its legacy as America’s best-selling sedan, the Toyota Camry is entering its ninth generation with a revolutionary change – the 2025 Toyota Camry will exclusively be a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). This bold move underscores Toyota’s commitment to electrification and delivers a Camry that’s not only more fuel-efficient but also more powerful and stylish than ever before. Designed and manufactured in the U.S., the all-new Camry Hev is set to redefine expectations in the sedan segment, offering a compelling blend of performance, luxury, and cutting-edge technology.
Powering this new era of Camry is Toyota’s advanced fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5), paired for the first time in a sedan with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine. This dynamic combination generates a robust 225 net combined horsepower in Front Wheel Drive (FWD) models, and an even more impressive 232 horsepower in Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) variants. Toyota engineers have meticulously tuned this hybrid system to deliver enhanced low-speed responsiveness, reducing engine RPMs and leveraging the traction battery for exhilarating acceleration and torque. Embracing Toyota’s vision for a carbon-neutral future, the 2025 Camry HEV proudly displays the “Beyond Zero” badge, symbolizing its dedication to reducing carbon emissions.
For drivers seeking enhanced confidence in diverse driving conditions, the 2025 Camry HEV offers Toyota’s Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system across all grades for the first time in a Camry Hybrid. This system provides added traction and control, especially beneficial during challenging weather or when navigating corners. A dedicated rear electric motor generator intelligently distributes power to the rear wheels as needed, ensuring optimal grip and stability. Anticipation is building as the 2025 Toyota Camry HEV is slated to arrive at Toyota dealerships in Spring 2024.
Striking Exterior Design: A Sleeker, More Athletic Camry
The ninth-generation Camry boasts a stunning new exterior, crafted by CALTY’s design studios in Newport Beach, California, and Ann Arbor, Michigan. The result is a sleeker, more athletic silhouette that elevates the Camry’s visual appeal. The distinctive hammerhead front fascia creates a modern and assertive presence, ensuring the Camry commands attention on the road. All grades are equipped with slim, stylish LED headlights, daytime running lights, and taillights, enhancing both aesthetics and visibility.
The SE and XSE grades amplify the sporty character with a fastback-inspired roofline and sculpted body lines. These sport-focused trims feature functional aerodynamic elements inspired by racing, including air ducts, front-side canards, and a rear diffuser. The rear design is further accentuated by an exposed dual-tip exhaust and a rear lip spoiler. The XSE grade distinguishes itself further with a unique color-matched front grille and black trunk garnish, adding a touch of bespoke sophistication. Rolling on standard 18-inch multi-spoke black-finished alloy wheels for the SE and striking 19-inch multi-spoke black and smoke gray-finished alloy wheels for the XSE, these models exude sporty elegance.
The 2025 Camry HEV introduces new exterior color options, including the captivating Ocean Gem and the bold Heavy Metal, joining returning favorites such as Ice Cap, Wind Chill Pearl, Celestial Silver Metallic, Underground, Midnight Black Metallic, Supersonic Red, and Reservoir Blue. For the XSE grade, an optional two-tone finish is available, pairing Ocean Gem, Wind Chill Pearl, Heavy Metal, and Supersonic Red with a sophisticated Midnight Black Metallic roof, allowing for personalized style expression.
Premium Interior: An Open and Refined Cockpit Experience
The interior of the 2025 Camry HEV seamlessly blends Toyota’s renowned craftsmanship with a modern open-concept design and premium materials, creating a unique and inviting cabin environment across all grades.
Starting with the sporty SE grade, SofTex®-trimmed seats feature striking white accents in either Boulder or Black, adding a touch of athleticism to the interior. The XSE grade elevates the luxury with standard leather-trimmed seats showcasing artistic “shooting blade” patterned perforations on both the side door trim and seating surfaces. XSE interior color options include Black with blue lined perforations or the popular Cockpit Red, offering distinct sporty aesthetics. Both SE and XSE grades are equipped with standard aluminum sport pedals and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, enhancing the driving experience.
The comfort-focused LE and XLE grades offer their own distinct interior personalities. The LE features a thoughtfully designed interior inspired by ocean waves, with an embossed pattern in woven fabric on the interior trim and seat surfaces, available in Boulder or Black. The XLE grade marks a Camry first, featuring luxurious leather and Dinamica® microfiber-trimmed seats, offered in Light Gray or Black. A sophisticated quilted pattern on this premium material extends to the front door panels and dashboard, creating an upscale ambiance.
Seat comfort has been significantly enhanced in the 2025 Camry HEV. Toyota engineers have refined seat shape and density, and increased cushion length. The headrest has also been softened and repositioned rearward to maximize seat and ride comfort. For ultimate comfort, the XLE and XSE grades offer available front heated and ventilated seats with three adjustable levels. These higher grades also benefit from a quieter cabin, thanks to standard front-side acoustic laminated glass that effectively reduces wind noise and harshness.
Convenience is paramount in the new Camry HEV. Standard features include a smart-key with push-to-start, and a dual-zone automatic climate control system with rear air vents. The XLE grade adds available driver’s memory seat and memory side view mirrors for personalized comfort. For added ease, the XLE also offers available automatic rain-sensing windshield wipers. A panoramic power tilt and slide sunroof with a power-retractable sunshade is available for the first time on Camry Hybrid XLE and XSE grades, bringing an open-air feel to the cabin.
Enhanced Performance: Power and Handling Refined
Beneath the stylish exterior, the 2025 Camry HEV features the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5), delivering a more engaging and controllable driving experience. Lighter and more compact electric motors contribute to increased power and enhanced performance compared to previous hybrid systems. When combined with Toyota’s Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, the Camry HEV achieves 232 net combined horsepower – a significant 30 horsepower increase over the previous generation mechanical AWD model.
The electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system is engineered for seamless integration with the hybrid powertrain. This system provides precise and responsive front-rear torque distribution, adapting to driving conditions to optimize acceleration, handling, fuel efficiency, and stability, especially on slippery surfaces like snow.
The Camry’s suspension has been retuned to deliver enhanced responsiveness and agile handling, adding an element of driving pleasure on winding roads. Sport grades feature a specific sport-tuned suspension that balances increased comfort with even greater stability, handling prowess, and driver confidence.
