The Toyota Camry is synonymous with sales and corporate fleets — the Camry first launched in the 1983 model year, when Toyota launched its fleet program in the U.S. While Camry continues to be a top seller in fleets, it has also been the best-selling sedan in the U.S. every year since 2002.

And for 2024, Camry has been named Fleet Car of the Year by Automotive Fleet. This is the fourth time that a Camry model has won the award; it's first win was in 2019. 

Toyota made the Camry hybrid-only for the 2025 model year. The Camry’s transition to a fully hybrid lineup reflects this overall market shift and fits with Toyota’s strategy of providing multiple pathways to reduce carbon emissions. 

This also includes plug-hybrid electric vehicles and fuel-cell electric vehicles, in addition to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. 

“We are proud to have Camry recognized as Automotive Fleet’s 2024 Car of the Year,” said Kevin Curran, general manager of Toyota Fleet Sales. 

“Earlier this year, we launched the all-new Camry exclusively with a hybrid powertrain, and we are thrilled to hear that our fleet customers are enjoying Camry’s efficiency, quality, and dependability in their fleets.”

2025 Camry: No Power Sacrifice

For the 2025 model year, Toyota pared down Camry’s three engine choices to one: a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine paired with Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system. 

While hybrids have always been known for sipping fuel, they have a reputation for lacking oomph. The new generation of hybrids, across all manufacturers, doesn’t sacrifice power. 

The 2025 Camry's LE FWD grade offers an EPA-rated combined 51 MPG and a combined output of 225 horsepower for the front-wheel-drive version and 232 horsepower for the all-wheel-drive variant. 

Fleets moving from the previous model’s gas engine to the hybrid-only powerplant would realize a savings of at least $1,650 over a three-year lease when driving 15,000 miles a year.

The new Camry also offers available Electronic On-Demand AWD across all four grades: LE, SE, XLE, and XSE, a first for a Toyota hybrid model. 

The AWD system is designed to provide on-demand front and rear torque distribution in conjunction with driving conditions. If the system senses loss of tire grip on a slippery road, the distribution of torque to the rear wheels is then controlled to deliver enough traction to keep the Camry firmly planted.

Technology enhancements include a new 7-inch digital gauge cluster that is standard on lower trims, an upgraded 12.3-inch cluster, and an optional 10-inch Head-Up Display on higher trims. 

On the safety side, Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is now standard. The system has improved pedestrian detection, especially during turns, and better recognition of traffic signs and speed limits. Additionally, for the first time on a Camry, Front Cross-Traffic Alert and Reverse Automatic Braking are available.

Toyota has also introduced Traffic Jam Assist for hands-free driving at low speeds, available via subscription on higher trims. The 2025 model offers an optional surround-view camera and automatic lane change assistance.
