2025 Toyota Camry First Drive: Does the Camry’s Reinvention Roll On?

Toyota has a lot riding on the humble Camry. It is, after all, the United States’ bestselling sedan. To keep reigning supreme, the car must continue to deliver on the hallowed pillars of Camryisms: spaciousness, comfort, efficiency. Happily, the all-new 2025 Toyota Camry is all of those things and more.

No, that doesn’t mean a plug-in hybrid yet, but with the base car’s estimated 51 combined mpg, we doubt many will complain about losing the previous-gen Camry’s entry-level 2.5-liter four-cylinder and optional 3.5-liter V-6 gas engines.

That is, if the new high-water mark for the nameplate’s visual and dynamic zest set by the previous-generation Camry, introduced for 2018, failed to catch your attention in the years since. Those expecting to meet a car that functions just fine might be surprised by how much fun the Camry is to drive.
