If you're in El Monte looking to put the 2026 Camry trims side by side, a visit to Claremont Toyota is in order.
What is the 2026 Camry?
There are no exceptions to the rule with Toyota's Camry midsize sedan: it is a hybrid in every form. The 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid underpins all ten of the trims, with 225 hp on FWD and 232 hp for AWD being what you would anticipate from the drivetrain. And you will find seating for five in any trim.
The choices run to ten in all if the AWD variants are considered in their own right. An LE, SE, Nightshade, XLE or XSE and the AWD versions of each. MSRP for the base LE is $29,600*, while a top spec XSE with AWD will cost $37,525*.
Safety technology is consistent across the lineup. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes as standard on every model, meaning the driver-assist technology is uniform whether you opt for an LE or an XSE. It's no wonder Consumer Reports has put the Camry on its 2026 Top Picks for midsize cars, a designation that takes into account both how the vehicle performs on the road and its history of reliability.
Camry Pricing and Powertrain Snapshot
Under the hood of a 2026 Camry is a 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid, no matter which one you take. The drivetrain will dictate the output, with FWD trims putting out 225 hp and AWD versions 232 hp, beyond that it is down to features and equipment to tell the trims apart.
The Camry's most impressive EPA numbers are to be found on the front-wheel-drive side of the line up. The LE FWD has a combined rating of 51 (52 city/49 highway). Put in an all-wheel drive system and the figures drop some: 50 combined for the LE AWD. With the SE, Nightshade or XLE in AWD form the combined total is 46, the XSE AWD top end being 43.
MSRP by the numbers:
- LE (FWD): $29,600*
- LE AWD: $31,125*
- SE (FWD): $32,100*
- Nightshade (FWD): $33,100*
- SE AWD: $33,625*
- Nightshade AWD: $34,625*
- XLE (FWD): $34,800*
- XSE (FWD): $36,000*
- XLE AWD: $36,325*
- XSE AWD: $37,525*
Competitors can be had for less at the base level, though the comparison isn't quite even. The Hyundai Sonata's $27,450* entry price and the Honda Accord's $28,395* starting point both buy a gas engine, while the Camry's $29,600* base LE is a hybrid standard on every trim. Neither the Sonata nor the Accord offers all-wheel drive in any form, so if AWD matters to you, the Camry is the only one of the three with that option.
Driving the 2026 Camry in El Monte
For driving in El Monte, a midsize hybrid such as the Camry is well suited to the task. It handles the commute into downtown LA or the odd errand at the Civic Center with ease. Should your schedule call for city business and permits at the El Monte Civic Center, the Camry makes the lot and adjacent surface streets easy to deal with, at 193.5 inches in length on a 111.2-inch wheelbase, its proportions are not unwieldy. Claremont Toyota sits off the 10.
Fuel economy matters too in the kind of stop-and-go you find near a transit hub such as El Monte Station, when you're dropping someone off or catching the bus. The LE AWD will show 50 mpg, more than the 46 combined of most of the rest of the AWD line and 43 from the XSE AWD. With its 52 city mpg, the LE means fewer trips to the pump when you're doing low-speed driving around the station.
Weekends are no different. There is 15.1 cu ft in the trunk, enough to stow your coolers and gear for a picnic or some time by the lake at Whittier Narrows without resorting to folding a seat. The five-passenger setup is equally accommodating for family affairs, people and cargo alike, whether you're spending the day at the pool in Zamora Park or heading to the Historical Museum over by the civic center.
