Hybrid Power and Available AWD
For 2026, the Camry is exclusively hybrid. A 2.5L four-cylinder pairs with Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system and an electronically controlled CVT, delivering 225 net combined horsepower in front-wheel-drive models and 232 horsepower with available Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive.
Why Available AWD Matters Here
Front-wheel drive is standard on every trim, and Electronic On-Demand AWD is available across the entire lineup for $1,525 more. The system adds a dedicated rear-mounted electric motor that engages when it detects wheel slip — added traction in rain or on slick roads, without the fuel penalty of a traditional mechanical AWD system. The Camry is one of the few hybrid sedans in its class to offer all-wheel drive at all.
EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy by Trim
The LE FWD is the efficiency leader at an EPA-estimated 53 city / 50 highway / 51 combined mpg, aided by its lighter 16-inch wheels. The SE, Nightshade, and XLE return 47 / 45 / 46 mpg with FWD; the sport-focused XSE earns 44 mpg combined.
| Trim | FWD (City / Hwy / Combined) | AWD (Combined) |
|---|---|---|
| LE | 53 / 50 / 51 | 50 |
| SE | 47 / 45 / 46 | ~46 |
| Nightshade | 47 / 45 / 46 | ~46 |
| XLE | 47 / 45 / 46 | ~46 |
| XSE | 47 / 45 / 44 | 44 (43 / 43) |
