The popular Toyota Camry has been fully redesigned for 2025 as it enters its ninth generation. Perhaps one of the most significant changes you’ll discover is that it is now only available as a hybrid car. Are you interested in learning more about how the 2024 and 2025 models differ? Our Camry experts at Keith Pierson Toyota can help.
2024 vs. 2025 Toyota Camry Overview
The Toyota Camry’s 2024 and 2025 models share a basic layout — that of a five-seater, midsize sedan. However, the changes to the 2025 Camry’s powertrain make it stand out from its predecessor.
Whereas the 2024 Camry offers a high-powered V-6 engine, a four-cylinder gas-powered engine, or a four-cylinder hybrid setup, the 2025 Camry comes with two hybrid options.
Powertrain Comparison
The two engine options in the 2025 Camry are linked to whether you choose front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Front-wheel-drive trims are equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors that combine to churn out 225 horsepower. All-wheel-drive trims have a third motor on the rear axle, which helps the powertrain achieve 232 horsepower.
The 2024 Camry’s 2.5-liter gas-powered engine achieves 203 horsepower. Some 2024 trims offer the V-6 engine, which produces 301 horsepower.
The shift to hybrid-only for the 2025 Camry lineup has boosted this vehicle’s overall fuel economy. The hybrid powertrain has a combined city/highway rating of up to 51 mpg, compared to the gas-powered 2024 Camry’s 32 mpg.
Interior Features
The materials in the 2025 Camry received an upgrade with the start of the new generation. You’ll notice fewer hard plastics in the new model than were on display in the previous generation.
In terms of dimensions and passenger convenience, things remain quite similar in the 2025 Camry. Both rows of seats can accommodate adult passengers, and you’ll have just over 15 cubic feet of luggage storage in the trunk for road trips around Florida. The lower trims in the 2025 model have cloth upholstery, but you can access leather upholstery in the higher trims.
Infotainment and Safety
The 2025 Camry’s base infotainment setup has an 8-inch touch screen and a 7-inch digital gauge cluster so that you can stay on top of your sedan’s performance on Jacksonville streets. In contrast, the 2024 Camry has a standard 7-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system and analog gauges for performance indicators.
In terms of connectivity, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard in the 2025 Camry, whereas the wired versions are standard in the 2024 model.
You can upgrade to a 12.3-inch touchscreen in the 2025 Camry, which is a larger offering than the optional 9-inch screen in the 2024 model. In addition, the new Camry boasts a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster in its top two trims, the XLE and XSE.
The 2025 Camry benefits from Toyota’s latest 3.0 Safety Sense system. Most driver assistance features are the same as those in the 2024 Camry, including standard pre-collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking. The 2025 model has standard blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts, which are only optional in the 2024 Camry.
Trim Levels in the 2024 Camry vs. 2025
The 2025 Camry has fewer trims than the 2024 model, and the V-6 engine has been discontinued in the new generation. You can choose from four trims in the 2025 model: the LE, SE, XLE, and XSE. The 2024 Camry offers six gas-powered trims: the LE, SE, SE Nightshade, XLE, XSE, and TRD. Hybrid versions of each trim, except the TRD, are also available.
Across both lineups, the higher trims offer some more upscale features. For example, the 2025 Camry’s XLE and XSE trims come with full leather upholstery and heated front seats. If you’re looking for all-wheel drive in the 2025 Camry, you can add it to any trim level.
Pricing and Availability
Despite entering a new generation, the Camry remains true to its affordable reputation. The starting price for the base 2024 Camry is currently $27,515, whereas the MSRP for the base 2025 model is $28,400. The 2025 SE trim, which comes after the base LE, comes in at $30,700, while the XLE and XSE models come in at $33,400 and $34,600, respectively.
