What is the Camry Hybrid?
The Toyota Camry Hybrid is an efficient four-door and one of the most popular sedans on sale today. With a comfortable and spacious interior, solid build quality and excellent fuel economy, the current Camry Hybrid is a sensible choice for those who need an efficient daily driver. The eighth-generation Camry has been on sale since 2018, and given that so much of Toyota's lineup has been updated or redesigned over the past few years, we wouldn't be surprised if a heavily refreshed or even all-new Camry Hybrid was on the way for 2024.
Photos of camouflaged prototypes have been circulating, too, adding to buzz that a major update is coming for 2024. If it materializes, expect revised interior and exterior styling as well as updated in-car tech. Since the Camry debuted in 2018, Toyota has significantly updated its in-car tech with a much-improved infotainment system. Expect to find the system in a refreshed or redesigned Camry Hybrid as well as an updated suite of driver aids. We hope that Toyota updates the Camry Hybrid's powertrain, too. The recently introduced Toyota Crown features two hybrid powertrains, including one that makes 340 horsepower. Revived Camry TRD, anyone? That said, we haven't heard anything official from Toyota about any changes.
Whatever happens for 2024, the Camry Hybrid has plenty of tough competition. The Honda Accord, the Camry's long-running rival, was fully redesigned for 2023. The Accord makes a strong impression, though its hybrid powertrain isn't as fuel-efficient as the Toyota's. The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is another strong and well-rounded competitor. And if you want a little more utility, the Toyota Prius offers hatchback practicality in a package that's better-looking and better to drive than ever.
