2026 Toyota Camry

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.

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.

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.
