Although the 2025 Toyota Camry is said to be on its way into production, very little is known about its development and progress. What we know is that Toyota is still adamant in producing a sedan model despite the world’s current fascination over SUVs and crossovers. The company is somewhat dedicated to the sedan, believing that there is a loyal and dedicated market for it. So, what does Toyota have in store for their new sedan?
Powertrain and Performance
There is no confirmation about the possible powertrain of the vehicle, but it’s possible that this eight gen Camry would be offered as a hybrid only. A lot of auto enthusiasts believe that the powertrain would be inspired from Prius, with its four cylinder naturally aspirated unit with 2.0 liter capacity that is paired up with an electric motor, generating 194 hp. It’s also coming with CVT and front wheel driving system. There is a possibility that an all wheel driving system is offered with a second motor on the rear, delivering 196 hp.
Some people also speculate that Toyota may use the standard all wheel driving system with inline four unit of 2.5 liter capacity for the hybrid layout, delivering 219 hp. Of course, Toyota has some upgraded powertrain layouts. It’s possible that Toyota would be using plug in hybrid unit (from Camry Prime) that can deliver 220 hp. But it would be more even exciting if the new Camry is running on inline four turbocharged unit with 2.4 liter capacity, paired with electric motor and auto 6 speed transmission to deliver 340 hp.
The Possible Rendering Design
There have been several rendering images of the possibly 2025 Toyota Camry; at least what people have expected of the new design. Taking Crown Sport concept as the basic foundation concept, the Camry does look marvelous. Of course, it’s still unclear whether Toyota would be using the same idea and structure for their upcoming design, but if the car isn’t far different from the rendering image, there won’t be any complaint or whatsoever.
The Crown Sport concept has been tweaked a bit (for the design and proportions) so it would fit the current Camry’s body. The rendering image would be coming with (striking) front end and LED headlights with lobster claw design. Expect aggressive (black) grille with glossy black wheels to make the car stands out and looks good.
It’s possible that the upcoming Camry will be coming with the same architecture with GA-K style. There is even a possibility that the wheelbase may be stretched out to accommodate cabin space. On the back, you can still see the ‘inspiration’ design of Crown Sport concept, covering the light bar and LED taillights. The overall decklid shape may be almost the same as the current one, and it’s not really a bad idea.
Technology and Feature
Features and technologies would be one of the biggest main focus for the 2025 model’s development. A lot of people say that new Prius may be used as the basic inspiration for the Camry. If it’s true then you can expect upgraded features for the infotainment display. From 8.0 inch of size, it may be 12.3 inch as the standard feature. You can also expect Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as the standard perks. There would be WiFi hotspot, integrated Amazon Music and Apple Music versions, and satellite radio. There would also be digital instrument cluster with 7.0 inch of size as the standard.
Release Date and Price
Because there is no exact planning for the manufacturing process, the information about the price and the launch date isn’t available either. Considering that it’s designed as the 2025 Toyota Camry, it’s possible that it may launch in 2024 or even the very early of 2025.
