2026 Toyota Camry

Price Range: $29,100 - $37,025

Excellent

The 2026 Toyota Camry got almost 46 mpg in our testing, which is fantastic for a midsize sedan. And it couples that efficiency with a roomy interior, ample standard driver assist features, and just enough driving character to avoid being boring. We think it's a great pick for a midsize sedan.Read full review

What's new

New midlevel Nightshade Edition trim
Part of the ninth Camry generation introduced for 2025

Overview

Written by automotive expert Josh Jacquot

3/9/2026

What's not to like about Toyota's 2026 Camry? This midsize sedan looks good, drives well, comes standard with loads of modern tech and driver assist features, and is available in front- and all-wheel drive. It's also all-hybrid, which means you can get great fuel economy in a family-friendly four-door that's much more spacious than the similarly priced Prius. We wish the front seats were a bit more comfy, and that the engine sounded nicer, but that's a pretty short gripe list against a long, long list of positives.

Edmunds spotlight: Same efficient powertrain, one new trim

The Camry's fundamentals remain unchanged for 2026. Every Camry is powered by a four-cylinder engine augmented with hybrid componentry. In years past, hybrid vehicles were typically pretty slow, but no more. The Camry's hybrid powertrain makes 225 horsepower with front-wheel drive or 232 hp with all-wheel drive. That's certainly enough for everyday driving and no-fuss passes on the highway. Plus, the most efficient Camry earned a 51 mpg combined rating last year from the EPA. The only meaningful change for 2026 is the addition of a new trim level called the Nightshade Edition. Camry Nightshade versions get black exterior trim for the grille, door handles, mirrors and rear spoiler. They also come with black 19-inch wheels and the sport-tuned suspension shared with SE and XSE trims.

Competitors to consider

Sedans might be getting outsold by SUVs, but there are a few good ones to choose from. The Camry consistently ranks high in our ratings, but we also recommend the Honda Accord, Kia K5 and Hyundai Sonata. The Accord and Sonata are also available as hybrids. You might also consider the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla if you're looking to spend less money. The Civic, in particular, is nearly as big as the Camry and is now available as a hybrid. Check out our Expert Rating for all the details on the Camry.

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Clint Simone

Excellent

8.3

out of 10

We drove the 2026 Toyota Camry on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

8.6/10

How does the Toyota Camry drive? We tested the Camry XSE with front-wheel drive. Acceleration is smooth and easy, and there's enough power on tap when you need it for passing, merging and other maneuvers. In our testing, the Camry reached 60 mph in 7.8 seconds, which is slightly quicker than rival Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata hybrids. The brakes are also strong and smooth.

The Camry XSE's sport-tuned suspension and responsive steering make for impressive handling, but we'd expect even the base trim Camry to be secure and stable when whipped through turns. This Camry also feels nicely connected to the road, without the vague, floaty feeling of older versions, yet also able to absorb bumps and dips without issue. Compared to its rivals, the Camry's upright driving position delivers a more elevated feel, with a great view over the hood and directly behind.

This Camry also features Toyota's most advanced, nearly flawless, safety tech. The system can now sense when cars are coming in and out of lanes and can adjust speed accordingly. With the optional Traffic Jam Assist feature, you can also take your hands off the wheel at speeds of up to 25 mph when conditions allow.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Toyota Camry? The Camry's front seats feel a bit too firm, but they are great for back support on long drives. They're generally very comfortable once you settle in on a long trip. Passenger space is solid in both rows, and the car's flat roofline means good headroom all around. Getting in and out is also very easy thanks to the wide door openings. Upright seats help, too, since you don't have to slouch into them. For car seats, LATCH anchors are located under clearly marked flaps and are close to the surface with nothing in the way. The rear bench is also wide and spacious enough that multiple seats should work fine.

The Camry's interior improves a few notches with this current generation. A row of switches and knobs are located underneath the Camry's large touchscreen, and the climate control system works very well with strong fan speeds and a great auto setting. At highway speeds, the Camry remains nice and quiet inside. The only major intrusion comes from the engine, which sounds gritty and unpleasant when you mash the gas.

In-cabin tech

9.1/10

How’s the tech? Most Camry trims come with a large 12.3-inch touchscreen and wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. Overall, device integration is among the best in the industry, including a wireless charging pad that actually seems to work and not just cook your phone. The optional nine-speaker JBL audio system sounds better than Toyota products of the last few years, but it still lags behind some rivals' Bose alternatives.

Buying Tips for the 2026 Toyota Camry for March

Here are some tips for buying and negotiating the best deal on a new or used 2026 Toyota Camry:

Buyers of the 2026 Toyota Camry are currently paying around 6% less than the sticker price on most trims. This can translate to savings of over $1,700 depending on the trim level, so be sure to negotiate based on this data to ensure you're getting a fair deal.
There are no generally available cash rebates on the new Camry, but specific groups such as military personnel and recent college graduates can access a $500 cash rebate. If you qualify, mention this to your dealer for additional savings.
The promotional APR for all loan terms on the new Camry is 4.99%, which is a significant discount from the market rates. For example, this special rate reduces your interest costs by over 2% on a 60-month loan term, so ask your dealer to offer this rate to save money over the life of the loan.
Camrys are selling quickly, with an average of only 9 days on dealer lots. Since the demand is high and inventory moves fast, it might be harder to negotiate large discounts, but leverage any incentives or savings data in your favor when discussing final pricing with dealers.

Storage & cargo

7/10

How’s storage and cargo? On paper, the Camry has less trunk space than its Sonata and Accord rivals. In reality, the 15.1-cubic-foot trunk offers enough to handle a few large suitcases or a sizable grocery run. Small-item storage is fantastic. There are a few different locations to store phones and devices, the door pockets can accommodate large water bottles, and the bin next to the wireless charging pad works great for keys.

Value

7.6/10

Is the Toyota Camry a good value? Toyota's decision to make every Camry a hybrid means there are plenty of trim levels to choose from if you're seeking a hybrid. That's a different approach than Honda, for example, which limits the hybrid Accord to the most expensive trim levels. Overall, we think there's solid value in what you pay and what you get. Toyota's warranty is average, though it does include two years/25,000 miles of complimentary maintenance and two years of roadside assistance.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

MPG

9/10

How’s the fuel economy? Toyota says that a Camry can get 44 to 51 mpg in combined city/highway driving, depending on trim and configuration. That makes the Camry one of the most efficient cars you can buy that's not a plug-in hybrid or full electric. On our standardized evaluation route, we observed 45.9 mpg from our front-wheel-drive XSE test car. That's a bit less than Toyota's 47 mpg estimate and better than what we got from a hybrid Accord.

X factor

9/10

Fun may not be the first thing that comes to mind when driving the Camry, but it's more than competent on a twisty road, and there is enough power to make a pass on the highway without sweating about it. We also like the latest Camry's styling. You might assume all Camrys are boring to drive and own, but not this one.

2026 Toyota Camry trim level differences

For 2026, the Toyota Camry sedan is available in five trim levels: LE, SE, Nightshade Edition, XLE and XSE. All come standard with a hybrid powertrain. Front-wheel-drive Camrys make 225 hp, while all-wheel-drive Camrys get a slight bump to 232 hp. Compare the 2026 Toyota Camry trim levels in-depth.

Which Camry trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you're buying a Camry for value and efficiency, we think the XLE is the sweet spot in the lineup. It comes with the upgraded infotainment system, which offers a 12.3-inch screen but gives up the larger 19-inch wheels in favor of 18-inchers that help preserve ride quality and save fuel.
