New Delhi, September 2, 2025: The 2025 Toyota Camry has officially entered its ninth generation, and this time, the popular mid-size sedan goes hybrid-only. Toyota has dropped its V6 and non-hybrid four-cylinder options, replacing them with two hybrid powertrains designed to balance performance with fuel economy. Prices for the new Camry range between $29,895 and $37,620 (MSRP).
Key Highlights
- Hybrid-only lineup with two powertrain options
- Fuel efficiency up to 53 mpg city / 51 mpg combined
- More modern interior with tech upgrades
- Pricing: $29,895–$37,620
Engine and Performance
The 2025 Camry offers two hybrid setups:
- Front-wheel-drive models: 2.5L four-cylinder engine paired with two electric motors, producing 225 hp.
- All-wheel-drive models: An additional motor powers the rear axle, raising output to 232 hp.
Both systems use a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). In testing, the Camry XSE AWD hit 0-60 mph in 6.8 seconds, quicker than the older hybrid but slower than the discontinued V6. Sportier SE and XSE trims feature firmer suspension tuning for sharper handling.
Fuel Efficiency
The Camry LE FWD is the most efficient, rated at 53 mpg city and 50 mpg highway. The XSE AWD is the least efficient, with 44 mpg city and 43 mpg highway. In real-world highway testing, the XSE AWD matched its EPA rating at 43 mpg.
Interior and Features
The cabin has been redesigned, taking inspiration from the Toyota Crown. Highlights include:
- Standard cloth seats, dual-zone climate control, and rear AC vents
- Premium options: leather upholstery, heated seats, ambient lighting, acoustic glass, and a heated steering wheel
- Infotainment: 8-inch display standard, 12.3-inch display optional on SE, standard on XLE/XSE
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across all trims
- Optional 9-speaker JBL audio system on higher trims
Safety and Warranty
Every 2025 Camry Hybrid comes with Toyota’s Safety Sense suite, including:
- Automated emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection
- Lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist
- Adaptive cruise control with lane-centering
Warranty coverage includes:
- 3 years/36,000 miles limited warranty
- 5 years/60,000 miles powertrain warranty
- 10 years/150,000 miles hybrid components
- 2 years/25,000 miles complimentary maintenance
Verdict
The 2025 Camry is a more efficient, tech-loaded version of one of America’s most trusted sedans. While enthusiasts may miss the V6’s punch, the hybrid-only strategy improves mileage and positions the Camry strongly against rivals like the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia K5. With fuel economy as high as 53 mpg and a refreshed interior, Toyota aims to keep the Camry at the top of the mid-size sedan charts.
