The 2027 Toyota Camry is the third model year of the ninth-generation sedan that Toyota redesigned for 2025 as a hybrid-only car. For 2027 the Camry is a carryover rather than a redesign: Toyota has not announced an all-new generation, and the updates center on equipment and pricing. That keeps the 2027 Camry a familiar package, pairing a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system, and it keeps the nameplate focused on the fuel economy that has made Camry America’s best-selling sedan for more than two decades.
What’s New for the 2027 Toyota Camry
Toyota has not issued a dedicated 2027 Camry news release, which is itself a signal that this is a mild model year. The headline change reported for 2027 is a small price increase. According to order-guide data reported by CarsDirect, every Camry trim rises by roughly $100, and the base LE still comes in under $30,000 before destination charges.
- The Nightshade Edition, added for 2026 with 19-inch wheels, gloss-black badging and Midnight Black Metallic trim, carries into 2027.
- The all-hybrid powertrain, the five-grade lineup and the standard safety suite are unchanged from the 2026 car.
- Toyota’s Camry model page continues to list five grades, LE, SE, Nightshade, XLE and XSE, all with hybrid power.
2027 Camry Trims and Pricing
The reported 2027 starting price is $29,700 for the LE, or about $30,795 once the destination fee is added. That is a modest increase over the 2026 car and keeps the Camry more than $4,000 cheaper than the entry Honda Accord Hybrid, according to reports. Toyota has not published official 2027 pricing, so treat these figures as reported rather than confirmed until the company issues its own numbers.
Above the LE, the lineup adds the sportier SE, the blacked-out Nightshade, the premium XLE and the sport-tuned XSE. Toyota’s Camry model page details their equipment, from an eight-inch touchscreen on the LE to a 12.3-inch display, leather-trimmed seats and aluminum sport pedals on the higher grades.
Hybrid Powertrain and Fuel Economy
Every 2027 Camry uses the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5) paired with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission. Toyota rates front-wheel-drive models at 225 net combined horsepower and all-wheel-drive models at 232 horsepower, and it estimates up to 51 mpg combined on the LE front-drive grade, per Toyota’s 2025 Camry announcement. There is no V6 and no gas-only option.
All-Wheel Drive Availability
One of the Camry’s clearest advantages over its hybrid rivals is that all-wheel drive is available on every grade. Toyota’s Electronic On-Demand AWD adds a dedicated rear electric motor that supplies traction when the system detects slip, during hard acceleration or in poor weather. It does not require a mechanical driveshaft running to the rear axle, which helps keep weight and packaging in check.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the Camry offers an eight-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen as standard and a 12.3-inch version on higher trims, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an available nine-speaker JBL audio system, a Qi wireless charging pad and up to five USB ports. Available comfort features include heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power driver’s seat with memory and dual-zone automatic climate control with rear vents.
Safety Features
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard. The suite includes a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Automatic High Beams, Road Sign Assist and Proactive Driving Assist. Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Safe Exit Alert are also included, according to Toyota’s 2026 Camry Nightshade release.
How the 2027 Camry Compares
The Camry competes with the Honda Accord Hybrid, Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and Kia K5. Its hybrid-only approach simplifies the range, and its available AWD is a feature the Accord Hybrid and Sonata Hybrid do not offer. For buyers cross-shopping mainstream sedans, the Camry’s main draw remains its combination of hybrid efficiency, generous standard safety content and Toyota’s long-running reputation for reliability. The Camry nameplate has been in continuous production since it became a standalone model line in 1982.
Our take
The 2027 Camry makes the most sense for buyers who want a no-drama commuter with all-weather traction and don’t care about a manual gearbox or a turbocharged engine. The all-hybrid decision paid off in efficiency and simplicity, but it also means anyone who wanted a cheap gas-only sedan now has to look elsewhere. Our advice: if you already own a 2025 or 2026 Camry, the 2027 is not worth trading for; if you are coming from an older sedan, the all-wheel-drive hybrid is the version to get.
