“The MPGs estimated are not accurate. I consistently average about 10 miles less per gallon than the estimates even though my driving style lends itself to optimizing fuel economy.”
Toyota Camry: Trims, Generations & Buyer's Guide
Last updated August 13, 2026
The Toyota Camry is a midsize sedan known for making daily driving easy, efficient, and comfortable. Its history includes gas, hybrid, V6, front-wheel-drive, and all-wheel-drive versions, while 2025-and-newer Camrys are hybrid-only.
Across generations, the Camry’s defining theme has been practical, roomy transportation that asks little of its driver. Toyota has steadily improved its comfort, fuel economy, safety features, and in-car technology without changing that everyday focus. Sportier trims have added more personality over time, and the 2025 redesign moved the entire lineup to hybrid power.
Strengths
- The cabin has consistently been designed around passenger comfort and useful everyday space.
- Hybrid models make fuel economy a major strength, with 2026 versions rated at 47 to 52 mpg in the city depending on configuration.
- Modern Camrys put safety technology across the lineup rather than reserving it only for upper trims.
- The trim range gives shoppers a meaningful choice between a calmer, comfort-focused character and a sportier one.
- All-wheel drive broadens the Camry’s appeal for drivers who regularly deal with wet or snowy roads.
- The back seat has practical room for adults, with 38 inches of rear legroom in 2026.
Who it's for
The Camry best fits commuters and households that want a comfortable, efficient sedan for routine driving and longer trips. It also suits used-car shoppers who value a familiar, easy-to-understand layout but still want the option of a comfort-focused or sportier version.
Toyota Camry lineup
Pick the LE for the Camry’s straightforward, comfort-focused experience. The SE adds a sportier personality, while the XLE is the step up for shoppers who favor a more upscale, comfort-oriented Camry. The XSE blends that upper-trim position with a sportier character. Nightshade models emphasize darker, more distinctive styling; for 2026, the Nightshade is based on the SE and sits between it and the upper trims.
Toyota Camry generations
From 2009 to 2026, the Camry spans four generations. The current 9th Generation arrived for 2025, following the 8th Generation — XV70 (2018–2024).

Frequently asked questions
Is the Toyota Camry a sedan or an SUV?
The Toyota Camry is a four-door midsize sedan. The latest version seats five and has a 15.1-cubic-foot trunk, so it suits commuting and family duty rather than SUV-style cargo hauling.
Does the Toyota Camry come as a hybrid?
Yes. Every U.S. Camry from the 2025 redesign onward is a hybrid. Earlier used Camrys span a wider mix that includes regular four-cylinder gas engines, hybrids and, in some upper or performance trims, a V6.
Does the Toyota Camry have all-wheel drive?
Yes, depending on the year. All-wheel drive is offered throughout the current hybrid lineup. On 2020–2024 Camrys, it was limited to certain four-cylinder gas versions, while many other used Camrys are front-wheel drive.
What is the Toyota Camry known for?
The Camry is known for making daily driving simple and comfortable. Its main strengths are a roomy cabin, useful safety features, good fuel economy and a lineup that ranges from calm, comfort-focused versions to sportier-looking ones.
Is the Toyota Camry a good fit for a family?
Yes, especially for a small family that prefers a sedan. The latest Camry seats five, provides 38 inches of rear legroom and has a 15.1-cubic-foot trunk. Its roomy cabin and standard safety equipment also suit commuting and road trips.
Which Toyota Camry generation should I look for?
The biggest dividing line is the 2025 redesign. Those Camrys are hybrid-only and have newer screens and safety technology. The 2018–2024 generation offers the broadest engine mix, including gas, hybrid and V6 versions, while older generations have simpler cabins and technology.
