2026 Toyota Camry

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.
