2026 TOYOTA CAMRY SE AWD: IS THE 2026 CAMRY THE ULTIMATE HYBRID SEDAN?

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Toyota Camry SE All-Wheel Drive is presented as a compelling option in the hybrid midsize sedan segment, particularly for those in colder climates. The reviewer highlights its "sport-tuned suspension" which provides a "really good" and "tight" feel, offering excellent handling and road composure, even over bumps. The all-wheel drive system is praised for improving power delivery and confidence, especially compared to the front-wheel-drive Nightshade model, and contributes to the car's 232 net horsepower. Key positives include the comfortable and well-appointed interior for the SE trim, the intuitive 8-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated seats and steering wheel, and the impressive 598-mile estimated range from its 13-gallon tank and 46 MPG combined rating. The reviewer also notes the practicalities of a spacious trunk with a spare tire and the overall good fit and finish. Criticisms are minor, with a desire for LED tail lights and a wish for a standard power front passenger seat at the $37,000 price point. Ultimately, the reviewer considers the SE AWD a "great great option" and a strong competitor against the Accord and Sonata Hybrid, suggesting it "blows the doors off the Accord."
