The standard hybrid powertrain of the 2025 Toyota Camry makes a great car even greater!
Starting with the 2025 model, you’ll no longer be able to order a Toyota Camry Hybrid. But the Camry Hybrid isn’t going away due to a lack of interest; it’s being discontinued because it is no longer needed, as the 2025 Camry now features a standard hybrid powertrain, much like the Toyota Sienna minivan and Toyota Crown Variants.
The 2025 Toyota Camry is stepping into a bold new era, bringing with it a redesigned exterior, an advanced hybrid powertrain as standard, and a range of exciting upgrades across the trim levels. This ninth-generation Camry is now available exclusively with a hybrid powertrain, making it a more eco-conscious choice than ever before. Among the four available trims—LE, SE, XLE, and XSE—the XSE trim stands out with its sporty design and premium features, offering a perfect balance of performance and luxury.
The redesigned Camry brings a more athletic stance, with a sleek, modern appearance that is sure to turn heads. Standard Bi-LED projector headlights with LED signature lighting add a touch of sophistication and visibility, while the higher trims, like the XSE, take things up a notch. The XSE trim grade that Toyota lent us for a week comes equipped with Dual Projector LED headlights, a body-colored mesh grille, and a black rear-lip spoiler, giving it a sportier, more aggressive look.
Inside, the 2025 Camry offers a cabin that exudes sophistication and simplicity. With seating for five, the cabin is designed to offer comfort and practicality, making long drives or quick commutes a breeze. The SE trim brings fabric and SofTex synthetic leather seat trim, but the XSE trim elevates the experience with leather-trimmed, heated front seats. It’s a perfect blend of luxury and comfort, ideal for those who want to enjoy both style and substance.
The 2025 Toyota Camry also delivers cutting-edge technology. Standard on all models is the Toyota Audio Multimedia System, which includes an available 12.3-inch touchscreen display. This system seamlessly integrates wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to connect your smartphone and stay connected on the go. The optional 12.3-inch Digital Gauge Cluster provides important vehicle data such as drive modes and hybrid efficiency, helping you stay informed and in control. Plus, a Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charger comes standard.
One of the most significant updates to the 2025 Toyota Camry is the introduction of a standard hybrid powertrain across all trims, including the XSE.
The Toyota Hybrid system pairs a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine with a 100-kilowatt electric motor and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT). This combination delivers a net 225 horsepower in front-wheel drive models, with an optional Electronic On-Demand all-wheel drive system boosting horsepower to 232. All-wheel drive models feature a rear-mounted electric motor for enhanced traction and stability, offering responsive acceleration and an enjoyable driving experience.
The front-wheel drive Camry LE is the most fuel-efficient in the line-up delivering an EPA-rated 53 MPG City / 50 MPG Highway. As expected all-wheel drive models are a little less efficient, but the all-wheel drive LE trim still manages to get an estimated 51 City / 49 Highway.
Toyota continues to prioritize safety with the 2025 Camry. Every model comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes features like the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert, and Lane Tracing Assist. Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is also standard.
The 2025 Camry includes a comprehensive warranty. The basic warranty covers the vehicle for 3 years or 36,000 miles, while the powertrain is covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. The Hybrid Battery is protected for 10 years or 150,000 miles, giving you confidence in the longevity and reliability of the vehicle.
The 2025 Toyota Camry is a hybrid-only vehicle that combines style, performance, and cutting-edge technology to redefine the midsize sedan. With its standard hybrid powertrain, advanced safety features, and eco-friendly performance, The 2025 Camry is more refined than ever, continuing its 42-year legacy of leadership as it paves the way into the future of midsize sedans.
