Toyota’s Camry midsize sedan may be the vanilla ice cream of cars. But hey, a lot of people like vanilla. And a lot of people like Camrys, too: this Toyota is America’s best-selling non-truck or SUV by a wide margin. And one could, like vanilla ice cream, argue the Camry is underrated, with a surprising depth of flavor.
It is, however, growing old; the current generation debuted back in 2017. As a result, the Camry is due for an imminent overhaul. Here’s what we know about the upcoming 2025 Toyota Camry.

When will the 2025 Toyota Camry debut?
Toyota
Toyota has confirmed it will reveal the next-generation Camry at 10:00 pm EST on November 14, 2023. Toyota already has a 2024 Camry on sale, so the next-gen model should be a 2025 model year vehicle.
The Camry will offer an all-wheel-drive hybrid version
Toyota
Toyota released a teaser image of the new Camry that shows all-wheel-drive and hybrid badges on the same car. The current-gen Camry offers both AWD and hybrid models but not together. Having all-wheel-drive and a hybrid together would give the Camry a big leg up over the rival Honda Accord.
The teaser also notes that the car "raises to new heights with no compromises." That suggests that the Camry may take a cue from the Crown and offer a higher ride height.
Will the 2025 Toyota Camry get a new platform?
Toyota
The 2025 Camry will be marketed as an all-new ninth-generation model, but keep in mind that “all-new” can mean different things in the car world. The Camry was the first vehicle to get Toyota’s current TNGA-K platform. Most speculation has it remaining on the platform for the next generation. The car may look similar beneath the sheet metal, though we expect Toyota to make tweaks and improvements.
What will the 2025 Toyota Camry look like?
Toyota
Camouflaged 2025 Toyota Camry spy shots show that it will continue to have a sedan shape. Presuming it stays on the same platform, proportions should be similar to the current model. The exterior may draw design inspiration from the new Crown sedan. We’d expect modernizations on the interior, with upgrade models likely offering Toyota’s 12.3-inch infotainment screen.
What engines will the 2025 Toyota Camry have?

Toyota has not confirmed anything yet. Judging from other Toyota launches, we’d expect the brand to ditch the 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6. And it’s all but a certainty Toyota offers a hybrid Camry for the third successive generation. This time, the question is whether the Camry will only come with hybrid options.
The Toyota Crown may also be the place to look for the Camry’s new engine options. We could see both the 236-horsepower 2.5-liter Toyota Hybrid System engine with a CVT and the 340-hp 2.4-liter Hybrid Max engine with a six-speed automatic. Both come standard with AWD on the Crown.
How much will the new Toyota Camry cost?
Toyota
The 2024 Camry model starts at $26,420 for the LE and tops at $36,845 for the XSE trim. Toyota could bump those prices up for 2025 and still have the entire lineup below the Crown’s current starting price of $39,950.
