Elevating its legacy, the Toyota Camry steps into its ninth generation boasting a refreshed aesthetic, improved performance, and an exclusively Hybrid powertrain designed for dynamic mobility. Crafted and manufactured in the U.S., the 2025 Toyota Camry enhances every aspect cherished by drivers in the current best-selling U.S. sedan – delivering more power, stunning aesthetics, feature-rich convenience, and agile handling. As a pivotal component of Toyota’s commitment to electrification for all, the new Toyota Camry 2025 emerges as a dedicated Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), providing a blend of potent performance and fuel efficiency, ready to conquer daily journeys.
The Camry is powered by Toyota’s first-ever sedan combination of a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine and the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5). Merging the engine’s output with two electric motors, this dynamic Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) achieves a standard 225 net combined horsepower for Front Wheel Drive (FWD) models and 232HP for Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) equipped models. Engineers at Toyota have fine-tuned the new HEV system for lower speeds, reducing engine RPMs and increasing power from the traction battery to deliver satisfying acceleration and torque. The Toyota Camry proudly adopts the “Beyond Zero” badge, symbolizing Toyota’s unwavering commitment to carbon emission reduction and its vision for a carbon-neutral future.
Making its debut on the Camry Hybrid, Toyota introduces the Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, now accessible across all grades. Offering enhanced reassurance, this AWD system ensures additional traction in challenging conditions, such as inclement weather or cornering. The system’s expertise stems from a specialized rear electric drive motor generator, automatically delivering power to the rear wheels as required.
Streamlined Ninth Generation Camry:
Crafted by CALTY’s studios in Newport Beach, California, and Ann Arbor, Michigan, the ninth-generation Camry introduces a more aerodynamic and athletic aesthetic to the popular sedan.
