The Toyota Camry has long been one of America’s most trusted and best-selling sedans and now it’s stepping into the future with its all-new 2026 Toyota Camry Hybrid. Blending sporty elegance, advanced hybrid performance, and next-level technology, the new Camry is designed to give U.S. drivers everything they love now with smarter efficiency and a more refined driving experience.

Exterior Design
The 2026 Toyota Camry Hybrid takes on a sleek, coupe-inspired silhouette that instantly stands out on the road.
With sharper LED headlamps, a wider front grille, and sculpted side panels, it feels more athletic and upscale than any Camry before it. Toyota’s designers have blended sportiness with sophistication from the floating roofline to the LED tail light bar that stretches across the rear. The car also gets new alloy wheel options (ranging from 17 to 19 inches) and bold color choices like Midnight Blue Metallic, Supersonic Red, and Pearl White Tri-Coat.
Hybrid Powertrain
Under the hood, the 2026 Camry Hybrid gets Toyota’s next-generation Hybrid Synergy Drive system.
It pairs a 2.5-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder engine with a more powerful electric motor, delivering a combined output of around 225 horsepower in front-wheel drive and 232 horsepower in the available AWD model. The hybrid system has been re-engineered for quicker throttle response and smoother transitions between electric and gas power.
