Heading into the new year, the 2026 Toyota Camry continues its reign as a benchmark car in the midsize sedan segment – especially because it’s successfully transitioned into an all-hybrid lineup. With a starting price of $29,000 going into the new year, there are several Toyota Camry competitors (see rivals below) to take note of, yet the Camry remains an accessible entry point for buyers seeking a reliable car with modern efficiency. The 2026 model is powered by the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System, which uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with electric motors to produce a net combined 225 horsepower in front-wheel-drive (FWD) models and 232 hp in the Electronic On-demand all-wheel-drive (AWD) variants. Toyota engineered this powertrain for maximum efficiency, offering an EPA-estimated combined rating of up to 51 mpg on the entry-level LE trim.
