Hits dealerships: TBD

While many competitor brands continue to slowly let their big five-occupant family sedans fade into the sunset, Toyota has decided to keep its venerable Camry around for at least one more generation. Behold the 2025 Camry, a major redo of the automaker’s traditional family sedan that now sports a hybrid powertrain, a fresh new look, a totally redone interior and the latest version of the company’s multimedia system in a bid to keep some heat on its rivals. Is it enough to keep Camry customers coming back for more? Well, not everyone wants an SUV, and the new model is likely to keep sedan shoppers interested for at least one more go-around.

New Styling

The 2025 Camry’s design is a purely American effort, according to Toyota, with styling handled by the company’s studios in California and Michigan, with the aim of giving the sedan an even more athletic look. Four trim levels will be available and visually differentiated into more luxurious and aggressively sporty appearances.

All variants feature a new “hammerhead” front end, slim LED headlights and taillights, and a more chiseled body. The sporty SE and XSE trims have race-inspired functional aerodynamic air ducts, front canard wings, a rear diffuser under the bumper, a trunk lid spoiler and dual-tip exhaust. Sixteen-inch wheels come with the LE, but 18-inch wheels are standard on the SE and XLE, with 19-inchers on the XSE. Two new exterior color options will be available, as well: Heavy Metal and Ocean Gem. The XSE trim furthers its sporty look by offering a two-tone paint job, putting Heavy Metal, Ocean Gem, Supersonic Red or Wind Chill Pearl under a Midnight Black Metallic roof.

Hybrid Only

Gone is the gas-only version of the Camry, including the V-6 option. Instead, you’ve got one hybrid powertrain for all trims as the 2025 Camry debuts the fifth generation of the Toyota Hybrid System. It combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a total of 225 horsepower on front-wheel-drive variants and 232 hp with all-wheel drive. The new system also reportedly has been tuned more toward electric operation at lower speeds to reduce engine revs for a smoother, quieter experience while still providing good acceleration and torque feel. The new AWD version uses a special motor-generator unit to provide power to the rear wheels when needed. This is the first time the Camry Hybrid will be available with AWD, and it will be optional on all four trim levels.

All Camrys will have a retuned suspension system for improved driving dynamics, as well, with the sport trims featuring a sportier tune to the underbits. The braking system has also reportedly been tweaked for better performance.

All-New Interior

Inside, the Camry gets a thorough redo for the 2025 model year, with what Toyota calls an “open-style cockpit” look. The base LE trim gets an ocean wave-inspired interior with patterns embossed in the fabric upholstery, which is available in Boulder gray or Black. The XLE gets leather-and-microfiber seats in a quilted pattern in Light Gray or Black, with the pattern mimicked on the doors and dashboard. If you’d rather buy a sporty model, the SE features imitation leather seats in Boulder or Black with white accents, while the top XSE upgrades to perforated leather in Black with blue trim or Cockpit Red. Sport variants also get aluminum pedals, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and curiously, paddle shifters for the continuously variable automatic transmission.

The seats themselves are larger and longer than before for enhanced comfort, according to Toyota, and can be heated and ventilated on the XLE and XSE trims. Those trim levels will be quieter inside, too, thanks to standard acoustic laminated side glass.

There are more amenities to be had in the 2025 Camry, as well, with standard push-button start and dual-zone climate control with rear air vents on all variants. Memory for the driver’s seat and side mirrors is available on the XLE, as are automatic rain-sensing wipers. An optional tilt-and-slide panoramic moonroof is also available on the XLE and XSE.

Tech Upgrades

All 2025 Camrys will have a digital instrument cluster, with a standard 7-inch display coming on the LE and SE and a larger 12.3-inch fully digital cluster on the XLE and top XSE. The two top trims can also be had with a 10-inch head-up display. The multimedia system gets upgraded to the latest Toyota Audio Multimedia software, which features an 8-inch touchscreen or optional 12.3-inch display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as is a wireless charging pad. The upgraded audio offering is a nine-speaker JBL audio system.

As before, safety systems are paramount in the family-focused Camry, and all trim levels will now come with standard blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, which was previously only available as part of an option package on lower trims or standard on higher trims. The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite of safety systems is also standard; it includes functions like forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, full-speed dynamic adaptive cruise control, lane departure steering assist, road sign assist and automatic high beams. For those wanting to maximize their electronic safety systems, the XLE and XSE trims can be had with a Premium Plus Package that brings traffic jam assist, front cross-traffic alert, lane change assist, a panoramic view monitor, and front-and-rear parking assist with automatic braking.

Pricing and Availability

Additional specifications and pricing for the 2025 Camry lineup should be available closer to the sedan’s on-sale date, which is yet to be revealed.
