The 2027 Toyota Camry carries over largely unchanged from the all-new 9th-generation model that launched for 2025. Every Camry is now hybrid-only, delivering up to 51 mpg combined on the LE trim while starting at $29,600. No major redesign is expected until a mid-cycle refresh around 2028. For 2027, expect the same five trims, the same 225-232 hp hybrid powertrain, and continued strong sales, with 316,185 units sold in 2025.

Release date: Toyota has not announced a 2027 Camry release date as of October 4, 2026. Redesign: no, 2027 is expected to be a carryover; the current ninth generation launched for 2025.
Is the 2027 Toyota Camry a Redesign?
No. Toyota has not announced a redesign for the 2027 Camry. The current ninth-generation Camry launched for the 2025 model year, announced on April 18, 2024, on the TNGA-K platform. It dropped the gas-only engine and is hybrid-only, with 225 hp in front-wheel drive and 232 hp with all-wheel drive. Toyota added the Nightshade trim for 2026, announced on May 1, 2025, and has published no 2027 changes. Online renderings of a facelift are unofficial. A mid-cycle refresh around 2028 is this site’s expectation, not a Toyota announcement.
What’s New for the 2027 Toyota Camry?
What’s New for the 2027 Toyota Camry: Quick Diagnostic Intelligence
Not much, and that is by design. Toyota completely redesigned the Camry for the 2025 model year, moving to the 9th generation on the TNGA-K platform and dropping the gas-only engine entirely in favor of a hybrid-only lineup. The 2026 model year added the Nightshade trim as the only notable change. Toyota has not announced any confirmed updates for 2027, making it a straight carryover year.
This is common practice for Toyota mid-cycle. Expect the 2027 Camry to arrive at dealerships in late summer or early fall 2026 with the same trims, same powertrain, and possibly a new exterior color option or two. Toyota typically rotates paint colors annually even in carryover years.
Online renderings speculating about a mid-cycle facelift with a revised front fascia and interior have circulated, but these are unofficial fan-made concepts, not Toyota announcements. A genuine refresh is expected around the 2028 model year, which is the more likely point for buyers to watch if they want the next real update.
2027 Toyota Camry Trims and Pricing
The 2027 Camry is expected to carry over the same five-trim lineup as 2026, with pricing likely rising $100-$300 given Toyota’s typical year-over-year adjustment for carryover models. All-wheel drive adds $1,525 to any trim.
| Trim | 2026 MSRP (FWD) | 2026 MSRP (AWD) |
|---|---|---|
| LE | $29,600 | AWD available (see toyota.com) |
| SE | $32,100 | AWD available (see toyota.com) |
| Nightshade | $33,100 | AWD available (see toyota.com) |
| XLE | $34,800 | AWD available (see toyota.com) |
| XSE | $36,000 | AWD available (see toyota.com) |
The LE is the value and efficiency champion, delivering the best fuel economy in the lineup. The XSE offers the sportiest trim with a more aggressive body kit and larger 12.3-inch touchscreen standard. Every trim now comes standard with a hybrid powertrain, so there is no “base” gas engine option to consider.
Engine and Powertrain
Every 2027 Camry uses Toyota’s 2.5-liter Dynamic Force inline-4 engine paired with an electric motor in a hybrid configuration. There is no non-hybrid option, a first for the Camry nameplate.
| Drivetrain | Combined Output | Engine Torque | 0-60 mph |
|---|---|---|---|
| FWD | 225 hp | See Toyota | Not published |
| AWD | 232 hp | See Toyota | Not published |
The AWD system adds a second electric motor at the rear axle, which is why AWD models make slightly more combined horsepower despite an identical gas engine. Power routes through an electronically controlled CVT (eCVT), and Toyota specifies a lithium-ion traction battery for the hybrid system, packaged so the sedan keeps a 15.1 cu ft trunk.
2027 Toyota Camry Hybrid: Is Every Camry a Hybrid?
Yes. Shoppers searching for a “Camry Hybrid” will not find a separate model: since the 2025 redesign, every Camry uses Toyota’s fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System, so the hybrid is the whole lineup rather than a trim. Toyota has not announced 2027 Camry specifications yet, so the figures below are the official 2025-2026 numbers, which apply until Toyota publishes 2027 data.
- Engine: 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired with electric motor generators and an electronically controlled CVT (eCVT).
- Output: 225 net-combined hp with front-wheel drive, 232 net-combined hp with all-wheel drive.
- AWD: Electronic On-Demand AWD uses an electric motor generator on the rear axle instead of a driveshaft. Toyota says the 232 hp AWD hybrid makes 30 hp more than the previous mechanical AWD system.
- Battery: lithium-ion traction battery.
- Efficiency: up to 51 mpg combined (LE FWD) on the current EPA ratings in the table below. EPA has not yet published 2027 Camry ratings.

2027 Toyota Camry Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is the standout feature of the hybrid-only Camry. The LE trim leads the lineup with EPA-estimated 51 mpg combined, among the best of any non-plug-in midsize sedan sold in the US.
| Trim/Drivetrain | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| LE FWD | 52 mpg | 49 mpg | 51 mpg |
| LE AWD | 50 mpg | 49 mpg | 50 mpg |
| SE/XLE FWD | 47 mpg | 45 mpg | 46 mpg |
| SE/XLE AWD | 46 mpg | 46 mpg | 46 mpg |
| XSE FWD | 47 mpg | 45 mpg | 46 mpg |
Higher trims with larger wheels and sportier tuning lose a few mpg compared to the LE, but every configuration still beats most competitors’ gas-only ratings by a wide margin.
Interior, Technology, and Dimensions
All 2027 Camry trims are expected to carry over the same interior and technology suite. Standard equipment across the lineup includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 with pre-collision warning, lane departure alert, and adaptive cruise control. LE and SE trims use an 8-inch center touchscreen, while XLE and XSE step up to a 12.3-inch display.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Length | 192.1 in |
| Width | 72.4 in |
| Height | 56.9 in |
| Wheelbase | 111.2 in |
| Curb weight | 3,450-3,649 lb |
| Trunk volume | 15.1 cu ft |
How the 2027 Camry Compares to Competitors
| Model | Starting MSRP | Hybrid Available? | AWD Available? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Camry | $29,600 | Standard (all trims) | Yes |
| Honda Accord | ~$29,500 | Yes | No |
| Hyundai Sonata | ~$28,545 | Yes | Yes |
| Kia K5 | ~$28,565 | No (US market) | Yes |
| Nissan Altima | ~$28,900 | No | Yes |
| Subaru Legacy | Discontinued after 2025 | No | Standard |
The Camry’s biggest advantage is offering hybrid power and all-wheel drive together, a combination the Accord cannot match since it lacks AWD entirely. The Sonata offers both a hybrid and AWD, so check whether the version you want combines them, while the Camry’s long run as one of America’s best-selling sedans supports its resale value and reliability reputation. Mazda6 was discontinued in the US after the 2021 model year and is no longer a factor in this segment.
When Is the 2027 Toyota Camry Release Date?
Not yet announced. As of October 4, 2026, Toyota’s What’s New for 2027 newsroom page lists several 2027 models (Corolla, Prius, Crown, Grand Highlander, Tundra and others) but not the Camry, and FuelEconomy.gov shows no 2027 Camry ratings yet. Toyota has not confirmed 2027 Camry pricing, specifications or an on-sale date.
Toyota’s recent timing gives a rough guide, not a promise:
| Model year | Announced | Toyota’s stated dealer arrival |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 Camry (redesign) | April 18, 2024 | Late spring 2024 |
| 2026 Camry (Nightshade added) | May 1, 2025 | Fall 2025 |
| 2027 Camry | Not yet announced | Not yet announced |
Because the 2026 model was announced in spring with a fall arrival, the 2027 Camry announcement is already later than last year’s. Until Toyota confirms details, the 2026 Camry on sale now is the official reference for trims, pricing and fuel economy. Check FuelEconomy.gov and the Toyota newsroom for the 2027 listing.
Should You Buy a 2027 Camry or Wait?
Buy now if you want a hybrid-only midsize sedan with class-leading fuel economy and do not want to wait for a redesign. Since 2027 is a carryover year, there is no reason to delay a purchase expecting significant changes. A mid-cycle refresh is rumored for 2028, so buyers specifically wanting a design update should watch that model year instead. For most shoppers, the 2027 Camry offers the same strengths that made the 2025-2026 models one of the best-selling cars in America: efficiency, reliability reputation, and now-standard hybrid power across the entire lineup.
