What is the Toyota Camry?
As a five-passenger midsize sedan, the 2026 Camry is fitted with a hybrid powertrain in every trim, a move that sets it apart from such competitors as the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata, which continue to offer gas-only options in addition to their hybrids. The 2026 Nissan Altima also competes here, starting at $27,580*.
You can spec the car in ten different ways. There are five trims to pick from (LE, SE, Nightshade, XLE and XSE) and all are available with front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Go with the all-wheel drive and the system will have 7 more horsepower at its disposal than the front-wheel version.
In terms of size, the figures do not vary from one trim to the next. The sedan sits 56.9 inches tall and 72.4 inches wide on a 111.2-inch wheelbase for an overall length of 193.5 inches. Inside there is 99.9 cubic feet of passenger volume and 15.1 cubic feet of trunk space no matter the trim. It is little wonder then that Kelley Blue Book has made the Camry its 2026 Best Buy pick for a midsize car.

2026 Toyota Camry Powertrain and EPA Ratings: 225-232 hp, 43-51 mpg
2.5L 4-Cylinder Hybrid: 225 hp FWD, 232 hp AWD
The entire lineup is powered by the same 2.5-liter four-cylinder and Toyota's hybrid system. You will find 225 horsepower with front-wheel drive, or 232 if you opt for all-wheel drive, torque is a steady 163 lb-ft regardless of the setup. Since every trim is fitted with this powertrain, there is no need to look for an engine upgrade as you go up the model ladder. (Horsepower and torque are per Official Toyota Specifications.)
EPA ratings are another matter, those will differ by trim and drivetrain. It is a distinction worth making on a run down to Los Angeles from Claremont:
| Configuration | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| LE (FWD) | 52 | 49 | 51 |
| LE AWD | 50 | 49 | 50 |
| SE, Nightshade, XLE, XSE (FWD) | 47 | 45 | 46 |
| SE AWD, Nightshade AWD, XLE AWD | 46 | 46 | 46 |
| XSE AWD | 43 | 43 | 43 |
For efficiency, the LE with front-wheel drive is the one to have, putting in 51 mpg on a combined basis. Go with any of the other four FWD trims and that number drops to 46 mpg. The XSE AWD, which is by far the most thirsty at 43 mpg combined, an 8 mpg difference from the LE FWD. The SE, Nightshade and XLE all come in with all-wheel drive at 46 mpg combined, no better or worse than their front-drive equivalents.
Every trim is fitted with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 as standard so there is no need to pay for a higher trim in order to have the driver-assist package.
