2025 Toyota Camry: Inside The 9th Generation Redesign
The ninth-generation Toyota Camry redesign is a revolutionary step toward our goal of reaching a "Beyond Zero" future. This hybrid-only sedan promises more accessible, value-driven hybrid technology for all drivers while offering the spacious rear row and competitive cargo volume that the Camry is known for.
The team here at McGee Toyota of Putnam loves the technology upgrades that came with the 2025 Toyota Camry redesign and finds that it's one of the safest and most capable travel companions in our inventory – even earning a Top Safety Pick+ Award from the IIHS.1
2025 Toyota Camry Redesign: What's New in the 9th Generation?
The most relevant 2025 Camry changes involve its engines and standard features. Take a look under the hood – the Camry hybrid-only 2025 powertrains utilize a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a robust motor (with AWD versions featuring an additional rear motor).
That's far from the only update to this bold machine. A refreshed infotainment software, with a standard 8-inch or available 12.3-inch touchscreen, ensures your connectivity is as seamless as possible. You'll also be protected by the brand-new Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite, which enhances sensor technology features like Lane Trace Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Enjoy the standard Blind Spot Monitor and Qi-Compatible wireless smartphone charging, previously only optional on select 2024 models. When you trade in your car for the all-new 2025 Toyota Camry, you're unlocking some of the most sophisticated standard safety options for a Toyota sedan.
Toyota Camry 9th Gen Hybrid: Specs, Performance, and Fuel Economy
The Toyota Camry ninth-gen specs are more standardized, thanks to its single engine configuration. A new 2025 Toyota Camry for sale unlocks up to 225 horsepower with the FWD drivetrain, while the AWD setup produces 232 horsepower.
The Toyota Camry AWD 2025 setup keeps the Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive of last year, meaning your tires can dynamically respond to terrain and give you optimized control over your ride.
Available Trim Levels for the 9th Gen 2025 Camry
Similarly simplified are the Toyota Camry trim levels – 2025 only brings four unique levels, compared to the more than twice that offered in 2024. They are the:
- LE
- SE
- XLE
- XSE
When you lease the ninth-gen Toyota Camry, be sure to check for those high-end variants. That's where you get luxury-grade features, such as the available leather-trimmed multi-stage heated and ventilated front seats or nine-speaker JBL® premium audio system.
Interior Upgrades and Technology in the 9th-Generation Camry
Our Toyota Camry 2025 review begins to wrap up as you enter the upgraded ninth-generation Camry interior. The signature craftsmanship of this iconic Toyota automobile is now bolstered with a new seat shape, welcoming you in to sit with more support from its longer cushion. Enjoy heated front seats standard with the XLE and XSE trims or add them as an option on the base LE or second-level SE models. A push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and rain-sensing wipers all contribute to ensuring your convenience, regardless of the weather.
Qi-compatible phones will now have a wireless charging station starting on the LE, a benefit previously accessible only through a features package or higher-end trims. The Toyota Multimedia System received a major software update, now boasting an easier-to-use touchscreen and better wireless connectivity for Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay®.
In addition, the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 suite was upgraded to Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 in 2025, offering enhanced safety sensors and more responsive alerts. A Blind Spot Monitor is also standard across all trims, giving you enhanced peace of mind with every mile.
2025 Toyota Camry vs. Previous Generations: Key Differences
Perhaps the best way to see the differences in how this new engine looks is through a 2025 Camry vs. 2024 Camry vs. 2017 Camry chart. The 2024 Camry has a trio of engine options, but its hybrid engine produced only 208 horsepower. With only a very minor drop in fuel efficiency, the new Toyota Camry hybrid raised the bar with over 20 more horsepower than last year, while still boasting similar spaciousness.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 9th-Generation Toyota Camry
Is the 2025 Toyota Camry only available as a hybrid?
Yes, the 2025 Toyota Camry has dropped its gas-only trims in favor of a purely hybrid powertrain. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine produces 225 horsepower with FWD (or 232 horsepower with AWD), which it uses to reach up to an EPA-estimated 51 MPG (Combined),2 providing a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. There are currently no other engines available for the 2025 Toyota Camry.
Does the 2025 Toyota Camry have all-wheel drive (AWD)?
Yes, the 2025 Toyota Camry has available all-wheel drive (AWD). This special drivetrain, known as Electric On-Demand All-Wheel Drive, intelligently monitors your wheels to deliver the right amount of traction for each mile. That way, you can get the maximum possible control – whether you're on slippery road conditions or taking a turn on the interstate. However, it does result in a slight loss of fuel efficiency.
How does the infotainment in the 2025 Toyota Camry compare to other Toyota sedans?
The 2025 Toyota Camry infotainment setup is built similarly to the infotainment structure of other Toyota sedans. All Toyota sedan models utilize a diverse suite of Audio Multimedia services to their advantage, offering paid subscription services for features such as Integrated Streaming, Drive Connect, or a combination of the two. However, compared to earlier years, the console is more responsive and allows for much simpler phone connectivity.
How does the 2025 Toyota Camry compare to the 2025 Toyota Prius?
The 2025 Toyota Camry may be considered a more spacious version of the 2025 Toyota Prius, though the latter is more efficient. Earning an EPA-estimated 57 MPG (Combined), the Prius remains one of the most eco-friendly hybrid models. However, the Camry compensates with significantly better rear legroom and headroom, making it a more suitable companion for families. The Camry also boasts more horsepower, offering a responsive experience.
