What’s new for the 2025 Toyota Camry?
2025 kicks off the ninth generation of the Camry and it’s now only available as a hybrid. Toyota offers one engine, the choice of front or all-wheel drive, and four trims. Each is filled with top-notch safety tech, thoughtful design choices, and a spry chassis that’s enjoyable from behind the wheel. We especially like the excellent fuel economy and the composed ride. Here’s our full review.
Everything. Well… mostly everything. Some components are carried over, but most are heavily updated or all-new. Toyota goes to a hybrid-only Camry lineup for 2025 and beyond. The V6 is gone as is the gas-only four-cylinder. Overall, it’s a positive change.

2025 Toyota Camry Powertrain 9/10
Over the last few years, Toyota has dabbled with several different engines in the Camry. It’s available with two different gas-only engines and a hybrid. Now, things have changed, and buyers all get the same hybrid power plant and continuously variable transmission regardless of trim or drive choice. Those who select front-wheel drive get 225 horsepower and up to 51 mpg combined according to Toyota.
Those who select an all-wheel-drive Camry get a bit more power, 232 horsepower to be exact. It’s unclear at the time of this writing what mpg figures that will earn but we know that the XLE with AWD is the least efficient (again, according to Toyota) with a combined rating of 44 mpg.
That’s still stellar for a sedan in this market. All of that said, this engine will need to prove that it’s as reliable as Toyota’s of old for us to be fully convinced that it was the right move.
What’s also very impressive is just how nimble and taut the Camry feels from behind the wheel. Don’t get us wrong, this is far from a sports sedan but it’s satisfying to drive in the bends. We tested it in the canyons around San Diego and were surprised at just how capable and predictable it is.
The brakes feel great, the steering is slightly above average, and the engine delivers enough power to satisfy the vast majority of folks interested in this kind of car. The Kia K5 GT is still the driver’s car of this segment and the Honda Accord feels great too so test those both if you want a car that engages you.
2025 Toyota Camry Interior 9/10
The updated cabin of the Camry is a nice place to spend time and really harkens back to the classic generations of this car. It’s unapologetically focused on providing value. To that end, the fake metal and wood surfaces from recent model years are gone.
In their place, you’ll find more honest fabrics and soft-touch surfaces that look attractive and more sincere. Piano black surfaces still exist sadly but most are kept to areas that you’ll almost never touch, so in theory, they shouldn’t gather fingerprints as quickly.
The seating is comfortable and supportive but taller occupants will find it a bit cumbersome to find a position that isn’t cramped. Visibility is good and ride-quality is above average. Under hard acceleration, the CVT is loud and annoying but during normal operation, it’s quiet and unobtrusive.
Toyota didn’t spend as much time making the rear seats feel value-oriented which is a bit of a bummer but an understandable cost-cutting measure too. Toyota will also offer ventilated front seats as an optional extra on some trims. It’s a good choice for those in warm climates. The available panoramic sunroof is awesome, and we feel it’s worth the extra money. Finally, the trunk stores 15 cubic feet of gear. Toyota hasn’t provided figures for cargo space with the seats folded down.
2025 Toyota Camry Technology 9.25/10
The Camry provides a mostly positive tech experience and that starts with safety. No matter what Camry one buys, they’ll get a comprehensive safety suite including adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, lane-keep assist, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. That’s excellent and we’re eager to see how it scores with the NHTSA and IIHS later this year.
In terms of infotainment, the base LE and SE trims get an 8-inch touchscreen to work with. It’s somewhat small when compared to several other cars but it’s still quick and intuitive. Those who prefer Android Auto or Apple CarPlay can use those too. Perhaps most importantly, the XSE and XLE offer a pair of 12.3-inch screens, one for the gauge cluster, and one for the infotainment system and both are excellent.
We also love that Toyota kept physical buttons and switches in the center control stack so that users don’t need to fiddle with the touchscreen for such functions. Those who want it can add a heads-up display, a nine-speaker JBL sound system, and traffic-jam assist, a low-speed hands-free driving system.

2025 Toyota Camry Overall Value 9.25/10
The best value in our eyes here is the Camry SE with the Multimedia, Cold Weather, and Convenience packages. It rings in at just $34,155 and brings with it the sport suspension, the bigger infotainment system, heated seats, and features like remote locking/unlocking.

The Camry is a very good car overall but it’s hard not to miss the V6 from last year. Perhaps there’s a way for Toyota to add another 50ish horsepower to this platform though. That would make it almost perfect from a balance perspective.
