Today on the MotorTrend Channel, we dive into the 2025 Toyota Camry, a car that proves Toyota hasn't abandoned the sedan game for the allure of SUVs. This ninth-generation Camry sports a fresh look and a hybrid engine, drawing inspiration from the stylish Prius. The design cues are spot on, injecting a much-needed dose of modernity into the Camry lineup. Stepping inside, the Camry doesn't disappoint, offering generous back seat space, a comfortable bench, and a capacious trunk - all hallmarks of the Camry's reputation for practicality.
Under the hood, the Camry embraces hybrid technology with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine supported by two electric motors, delivering a respectable 225 horsepower in front-wheel drive and 232 horsepower in all-wheel drive configurations. The driving experience surprises with its agility and responsiveness, challenging the notion of the Camry as a mundane family sedan. The steering has been tightened up, providing excellent feedback and instilling confidence behind the wheel. Additionally, the braking system feels natural and intuitive, a rarity in many hybrid vehicles.
While the all-wheel drive system isn't permanent, activating only when necessary, the Camry shines in its ability to balance power and efficiency. Despite not being a drag race champion, the Camry excels in delivering a fun and engaging driving experience, a departure from its traditional perception. As the best-selling sedan in the US, the Camry continues to impress with its blend of comfort, spaciousness, and now, driving enjoyment. With prices ranging from $29,000 to $37,000, the Camry remains a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and versatile sedan.
