While Toyota is being pushed kicking and screaming into the battery electric vehicle era, it has been the undisputed leader in hybrids for a generation. And now it’s large sedan is going all-in on the technology, as the 2025 Camry will be available only with a gas-electric powertrain.
The ninth generation of the popular car will feature a 2.5L four cylinder engine paired with the brand’s fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS5) that includes two electric motors for the front-wheel-drive model for a combined 225 hp. Also available is Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD), which is available on all trim levels and adds a third motor to the rear wheels for a combined 232 hp – 30 hp more than the previous Camry with mechanical AWD. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is standard for both powertrains.
