Is This the Revised 2025 Toyota Camry?
“A new dawn is coming,” or, at least, a new Camry from Toyota. Probably. The automaker issued a cryptic teaser for a car with the question, “Can you guess what’s on the horizon?” And, while there’s no official confirmation that it’s a Camry, the car is the most likely candidate for an overhaul.
The current Camry has been on sale for several years, and while it’s still a popular car, it’s more than past time for a glow-up. Spy photographers have caught heavily camouflaged Camry prototypes testing in recent months, adding to the speculation. Toyota’s teaser shows LED running lights and an overall front fascia shape that resembles the new Prius design.
We expect the new car to offer revised hybrid powertrains, perhaps with the addition of the more powerful options from the Toyota Crown or Highlander. Toyota is also likely to drop the V6 engine option as it edges closer to electrification.
The Camry’s last redesign gave it surprisingly edge styling for such a sedate family hauler, and if the teaser image is of the car, it appears the next-gen car will represent an equally significant step forward in design. The new Prius is easily one of the best-looking cars Toyota makes, and extending that design language to the Camry could greatly broaden its appeal.

And that is awesome too, about Toyotas. Thank you.
I had a Camry earlier this week as a rental, XSE trim so not the bottom base; it was an XSE that appeared to have all the possible options for that time. I have to say, based on what I had for 3 days, a 2023 and I got it with a little over 15k miles on it, Nissan Altimas I have rented (with higher miles) are much more comfortable and much better performing cars than this Camry. Now, this is not commentary about long term reliability or resale values, but I am saying Camry's are not what the press would have us believe. Of course there are those who comment here that will take personal offense what what I've observed and likely attack my intelligence but we have be willing to acknowledge that Toyota lives a lot of hype that isn't necessarily deserved.
I’d skip it and get the Telluride
Can somebody explain to me what the point of these silhouettes are? This doesn't build interest. It's just annoying.
