2026 Toyota Camry Overview

The 2026 Toyota Camry carries forward what started with the 2025 redesign: hybrid-only powertrains, available all-wheel drive on every trim, and IIHS Top Safety Pick+ recognition that puts it at the front of the midsize sedan class. With five distinct trims — LE, SE, the new-for-2026 Nightshade Edition, XLE, and XSE — starting at $29,100 MSRP and delivering up to an EPA-Estimated 51 combined MPG, the Camry remains a category leader in efficiency, technology, and value at North Hollywood Toyota.

What's New for 2026

• Nightshade Edition joins the lineup — Midnight Black Metallic exterior accents, 19-inch satin-black wheels, and gloss-black badging built on the SE's sport-tuned foundation.
• Dark Cosmos, a sultry hazy-blue exterior color, debuts on SE, XLE, and XSE.
• Hybrid powertrain remains standard across the lineup, carried over from the 2025 redesign — Camry no longer offers a non-hybrid option.
• Electronic On-Demand AWD continues as a $1,525 option on every trim — Camry is the only hybrid midsize sedan available with AWD.

Hybrid Performance & Available AWD

Every 2026 Camry pairs Toyota's fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS) with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an electronically controlled CVT. Front-wheel-drive Camrys deliver a net combined 225 horsepower through a pair of electric motors. Choose the available Electronic On-Demand AWD and a rear-mounted third electric motor bumps output to 232 net combined horsepower while adding traction for wet weather and quick lane changes across the 101 or 405.

The Camry's competitive edge in the segment: it's the only hybrid midsize sedan that offers AWD. The Honda Accord Hybrid and Hyundai Sonata Hybrid are both FWD-only. For drivers facing rainy-season commutes through the San Fernando Valley or weekend trips into the mountains, the $1,525 AWD upgrade is a meaningful differentiator.

EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy by Configuration

Trim	FWD (City / Hwy / Combined)	AWD (City / Hwy / Combined)
LE	53 / 50 / 51	51 / 49 / 50
SE	48 / 47 / 47	46 / 46 / 46
Nightshade	48 / 47 / 47	46 / 46 / 46

XSE	47 / 45 / 46	44 / 43 / 44
