Toyota confirmed that the 2027 Camry is essentially the 2026 Camry: a straight carryover with one clear change, a $700 price increase applied to every trim. The automaker sent a roughly 1,500-word press release that reused last year’s photo gallery to make the point explicit.
Mechanically and visually nothing new arrives for the midsize sedan that has led U.S. passenger-car sales for more than 20 consecutive years. Exterior design, interior packaging, technology content and the hybrid-only powertrain carry over unchanged.
The lineup remains LE and XLE for comfort-focused buyers, and SE, Nightshade and XSE for those wanting a sportier look; the latter three retain a sport-tuned suspension with unique shock absorbers and springs, while LE and XLE keep a comfort-tuned setup. Standard exterior features continue to include Toyota’s hammerhead front face and LED headlights.
Interior options and equipment are also unchanged. Lower trims are fitted with a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8.0-inch touchscreen. XLE and XSE continue to offer dual 12.3-inch displays plus a 10-inch Head-Up Display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging pad and dual-zone climate control remain standard across the range. The SE keeps SofTex-trimmed seats and the XSE retains leather with the manufacturer’s "shooting blade" perforation pattern.
The Camry’s hybrid architecture is the same 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with electric motors; front-wheel-drive models use a dual-motor arrangement and all-wheel-drive models use a tri-motor layout. Toyota’s published figures list the front-wheel-drive hybrid at 225 horsepower (228 metric horsepower), a 0 to 60 mph time of 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 115 mph (185 kph). The all-wheel-drive hybrid is rated at 232 horsepower (235 metric horsepower) with a 0 to 60 mph time of 6.5 seconds and the same 115 mph top speed.
Toyota also pointed to the Camry’s long-running sales strength in the announcement, noting roughly 316,000 units sold in 2015 and reiterating the model’s two-decade streak as America’s best-selling passenger car. The message was straightforward: the company sees no need to alter a package that continues to sell.
The only change for 2027 is a $700 price increase across the range; the base Camry starts at $29,700.
Toyota says the 2027 Camry will reach U.S. dealerships later this fall with that $700 bump applied to every trim.
