2025 Toyota Camry: Features, Specifications, and Overview

The Toyota Camry is a well-known name in the automotive world, recognized for its relentless reliability, efficiency, and performance in a spacious package. This sedan has become the default choice for executive buyers in the UAE and is a trusted companion for fleet companies.

As Toyota progresses towards achieving zero carbon emissions and Al Futtaim Motors aligns with the UAE’s vision for full carbon neutrality by 2050, as outlined in its Net Zero 2050 strategy, the introduction of the 2025 Toyota Camry promises to elevate comfort, performance, and efficiency to new heights.

Exterior

A first glance at the 2025 Toyota Camry reveals a completely revised façade with a hood that now slopes to conceal a larger grille area. Some Toyota enthusiasts may notice the resemblance to the more upscale Crown.

The front lip remains similar to the outgoing model, featuring a trapezoidal design that houses honeycomb elements on the sides and horizontal slats connecting them. The side profile maintains the unmistakable Camry look with a stubby and high boot, now complemented by boomerang LED tail lamps as a new aesthetic touch. Standard features include LED headlights, daytime running lights, and tail lights.

Interior

With the ninth-generation Camry, Toyota has paid meticulous attention to detail in the interior design. A rich variety of materials and textures welcome passengers, giving off a luxurious feel. Notably, the co-driver side AC vent draws inspiration from the Lexus ES. Leather padding adorns the armrests and central glove box, enhancing the overall aesthetic while masking the basic plastics of previous models.

The Camry also boasts an array of features such as:

• Electric rear-view mirror
• Smart key with push-button start/stop
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• Driving modes: Normal, Eco, and Sport
• Full-fledged EV mode
• Rear AC vents
• Voice agent for audio volume, vehicle systems, and navigation control
• Wireless charging
• Type-A & Type-C USB ports
• Smartphone connectivity

To enhance safety, the Camry comes equipped with a full suite of active safety features, including:

• Pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection and auto-emergency braking
• Adaptive cruise control
• Lane departure assist with automatic steering correction
• Automatic high beams that adjust based on incoming vehicle headlights and taillights

The base grades, E and XLE, feature a 7-inch instrument cluster, while the top-spec GLE trim is equipped with a 12.3” digital instrument cluster.

For entertainment, an 8-inch touchscreen multimedia display comes standard, with an option for a 12.3” unit seamlessly integrated into the dashboard.

Powertrain

The 2025 Camry offers two powertrain options:

1. A 2.5-litre gasoline engine producing 201 hp and 240 Nm of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
2. A fifth-generation hybrid system paired with a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine, yielding a combined output of 227 hp and 221 Nm of torque, utilizing a CVT.

The new Toyota Camry continues to deliver excellent value for money, balancing practicality, build quality, performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability. This latest model enhances these attributes while providing a touch of luxury. However, with increased competition since the last generation's debut, the question remains: will these updates be sufficient to maintain its edge against rivals like the Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia K5?
