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 $29,100. 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 dominance as America’s best-selling passenger car, with 317,185 units sold in 2025.

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 | $29,100 | $30,625 |
| SE | $31,600 | $33,125 |
| Nightshade | $32,600 | $34,125 |
| XLE | $34,300 | $35,825 |
| XSE | $35,500 | $37,025 |
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 | 163 lb-ft | ~6.8-6.9 sec |
| AWD | 232 hp | 163 lb-ft | ~6.8-6.9 sec |
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 the hybrid battery is a nickel-metal hydride unit packaged under the rear seat, preserving trunk space.
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 | $29,100 | 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 | ~$30,000 | 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 comes closest as a hybrid-plus-AWD competitor, but the Camry’s 20-plus-year sales streak as America’s best-selling sedan gives it an edge in resale value and long-term reliability reputation. Mazda6 was discontinued in the US after the 2021 model year and is no longer a factor in this segment.
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 the best-selling car in America: efficiency, reliability reputation, and now-standard hybrid power across the entire lineup.
