Every 2026 Toyota Camry is a hybrid. The lineup runs five trims: LE, SE, Nightshade, XLE and XSE. Every one of them can be ordered with front-wheel drive or Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive. Compare fuel economy and equipment by trim below, then tell us which one you want to drive.
Every trim is a hybrid. No gas-only Camry is offered.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes on every trim at no extra cost.
Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive is available across the lineup.
All five trims share the same 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain. The choice comes down to wheels, interior and styling. For a full breakdown with current pricing, see our 2026 Camry trims and pricing guide or our EPA-estimated MPG by trim guide. Ratings below are published by the EPA at fueleconomy.gov.

Every 2026 Camry pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system and an electronically controlled CVT. Front-wheel-drive models produce 225 net-combined horsepower. Add Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive and output rises to 232.
Instead of a driveshaft and transfer case, the Camry puts a separate electric motor generator on the rear axle. It engages on demand when the system senses reduced grip or hard acceleration. That setup is worth 30 more horsepower than the mechanical all-wheel drive on the previous-generation Camry. There is no plug and no charging cable. The lithium-ion battery recharges itself through regenerative braking and the gas engine as you drive. Powertrain figures are published by Toyota.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard across the lineup. Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Safe Exit Alert are standard as well.
| System | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection | Watches for a vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist ahead and can brake if you do not react |
| Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control | Adaptive cruise control, set above 20 mph, that holds a preset distance from the car ahead |
| Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist | Reads lane markings above 30 mph, warns on drift, and adds gentle corrective steering |
| Lane Tracing Assist | Helps keep the car centered in its lane while radar cruise control is running |
| Road Sign Assist | Reads speed limit, stop and yield signs and shows them in the driver display |
| Automatic High Beams | Detects oncoming headlights and taillights ahead, then switches between high and low beams |
| Proactive Driving Assist | Adds light braking and steering support for distance control and cornering |
The IIHS named the 2026 Camry a Top Safety Pick+ under its tougher 2026 criteria. It earned Good ratings in the small overlap front, updated moderate overlap front and updated side tests. NHTSA gives the 2026 Camry a five-star overall safety rating. You can read more about the suite on our Toyota Safety Sense page.
Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.
No. The 2026 Camry is a self-charging hybrid, not a plug-in. The hybrid system recharges its lithium-ion battery on its own using regenerative braking and power from the gas engine while you drive, so there is no charging cable, no wall outlet and no charging stop to plan around.
Every new Camry carries a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Hybrid-related components are covered for 8 years/100,000 miles, and the hybrid battery is covered for 10 years/150,000 miles and transfers to the next owner. ToyotaCare adds two years or 25,000 miles of factory-scheduled maintenance plus two years of unlimited-mileage roadside assistance.

Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive uses a dedicated electric motor generator on the rear axle instead of a mechanical transfer case. Sensors shift torque rearward when the road turns slippery or when you accelerate from a stop, and total system output rises to 232 horsepower. It is available on all five trims.
