The 2025 Toyota Camry sedan has been detailed for Australia ahead of its launch in the second half of the year.

Available exclusively with a hybrid powertrain for the first time in the Camry’s history, the line-up will continue to feature Ascent, Ascent Sport and SL variants. The sports-themed SX has been discontinued.

Prices for the ninth-generation Camry are still to be confirmed, but increases are expected over current hybrid models, which were priced between $37,917 and $51,417 before on-road costs until orders were paused in October 2023 due to extended wait times.

As detailed here, the new Camry is a heavy facelift of the current model with an identical wheelbase, based on an updated version of the existing TNGA-K platform shared with the RAV4 and Kluger.

The front-drive Camry retains the familiar 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated engine matched to an updated “fifth-generation” hybrid system with a lighter and more compact transaxle, a more powerful electric motor, and a lithium-ion battery.

Over the existing model, the entry-level Ascent adds an 8-inch touchscreen (up from 7-inch), a new infotainment system, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster (replacing analogue gauges with a 4.2-inch central display), front and rear USB-C charge ports, and enhanced Connected Services functionality including remote air conditioning.

Active safety features have been improved by including blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert – previously limited to the Ascent Sport and above – and safe exit assist to prevent ‘dooring’ other road users.

Front and rear parking sensors and a 360-degree camera system have also been added.

There’s also low-speed emergency braking in forward and reverse when parking, a monitoring camera with an emergency stop function when it detects an unresponsive driver, and improvements to the functionality of the existing autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.

The Ascent will also include LED tail-lights – previously limited to the top-of-the-range SL – and new-look 17-inch alloy wheels.

A 12.3-inch widescreen infotainment system, built-in satellite navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and a wireless phone charger are new additions to the mid-spec Ascent Sport.

It also adds “high-grade” LED headlights, daytime running lights and tail-lights, along with an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

The flagship SL introduces revised 18-inch alloy wheels, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a digital rear-view mirror, a heated steering wheel, rear privacy glass, a rear camera washer, and a Nanoe X air purification system compared to the previous model.

Externally, the Camry features an updated front end with C-shaped daytime running light signature similar to the new C-HR, Prius and Crown Sport, a revised side profile, and claw-shaped tail-lights.

More details about the 2025 Toyota Camry are due to be confirmed closer to its Australian launch in the second half of the year.
