2025 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID - 13 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid, now in its ninth generation, represents a significant evolution, exclusively offering a hybrid powertrain. The reviewer highlights its class-leading power (232 hp for AWD) and impressive fuel economy, with potential for over 50 MPG. The eAWD system, available on all trims, is a key advantage over competitors like the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata, particularly in adverse weather. Positives include a handsome "Hammerhead" design, a spacious and practical interior with good legroom, and a comprehensive tech suite featuring a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and standard wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. However, the reviewer notes some drawbacks: the brakes could offer more initial bite, and wind noise from the panoramic sunroof is present. The driver monitoring system is deemed overly sensitive and prone to false alerts, and in cold weather (around freezing), the hybrid system and EV mode take time to warm up, impacting initial fuel economy. Despite these points, the Camry is ranked as the top choice among its direct rivals due to its blend of power, efficiency, available AWD, and overall refinement.
