2025 Toyota Camry: Full Rating Results

The 2025 Toyota Camry represents one of the most meaningful redesigns the stalwart midsize sedan has ever seen. Though largely based on the previous-generation Camry, the 2025 model has a sharper design, an overhauled interior, more precise handling and, most importantly, is only available as a hybrid. As with all vehicles that pass through the Edmunds office, we subjected the new Camry to our full evaluation process — which includes instrumented performance testing on a closed test track and driving in the real world on a standardized evaluation loop — to determine where it ranks in its class.

The rating below compares the 2025 Camry against its direct rivals in the midsize sedan category, with section scores contributing to the overall score. Section scores are determined by the value of their subsection scores, which evaluate individual aspects of a vehicle. The overall score and section scores are always published on a vehicle page; subsection scores that provide greater detail are presented here publicly for the first time.

Performance: 8

We tested the Camry XSE with front-wheel drive. Acceleration is smooth and easy during everyday driving, and there’s enough power on tap to get you moving when you need it. At the Edmunds test track, our test Camry sprinted from zero to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds, which is slightly quicker than the hybrid versions of the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata. The brakes are strong and smooth.

We are also impressed with the Camry’s responsive steering and stable handling. Granted, we tested an XSE, which has a sport-tuned suspension, but overall you can expect the Camry to be secure when driving around corners.

Acceleration: 7.5
The Camry sprinted from zero to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds during our testing. That puts it smack in between the hybrid Accord and Sonata Hybrid. It’s a tad quicker than the previous-generation Camry Hybrid, too. In the real world, the 232 horsepower on tap is plenty to get the car up and moving.

Braking: 8
The 60-0 mph panic stop result of 118 feet is dead-on with the Honda Accord hybrid. This is a huge improvement over the old Camry’s 132-foot stop. The pedal is perfectly dialed in for everyday driving, making the Camry super easy to gauge when to slow down and how hard to press the pedal.

Steering: 8
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I prefer the Camry’s steering to the Accord’s. There is a huge difference in the steering weighting between Normal and Sport modes, which I appreciate. It makes me feel more engaged as I’m driving. The car turns in with quick and small inputs — the exact behavior that I want from a front-wheel-drive sedan. It could offer more feedback from the road, though.

Handling: 8
The Camry is surprisingly composed and feels connected to the road. Driving the Accord and Camry back-to-back highlights the Accord’s slight handling edge, but the two are probably closer than they’ve ever been. The Toyota exhibits way less body roll and understeer than the Hyundai Sonata. This is easily the best-driving Camry I’ve ever been in.

Drivability: 8.5
The handover from electric propulsion to combustion engine is smooth as silk. Even with the audio system off, it’s sometimes difficult to hear when the engine kicks on. All of the inputs are relaxed and nothing feels too sensitive. Just a dead-easy car to drive, which is exactly what it should be.

Comfort: 8

The Camry’s front seats are a bit too firm for our liking. However, they do a great job of supporting your back on long trips and are generally very comfortable once you settle in. The climate control system works well with strong fan speed and a great auto setting.

Toyota dialed in the ride comfort just right on this new Camry. It doesn’t feel floaty or disconnected from the road, but it soaks up bumps and dips without issue. The cabin stays nice and quiet, even at highway speeds. The only major noise intrusion comes from the engine, which is gritty and unpleasant to listen to when you mash the gas.

Seating comfort: 7.5
The seats are a bit flat, and the cushioning is a little stiffer than expected. They do offer great back support, however.

Ride comfort: 8
The Camry’s ride is impressive, even though our XSE test vehicle has a sport-tuned suspension. Most of the body motion over bumps is all around the front axle, but even that is minimal. This car is not floaty at all but still soaks up bumps nicely. Seems like the 18-inch wheel offers the perfect amount of sidewall for the job.

Climate control: 8.5
During my test loop, I set the automatic climate control to 72 degrees. I never had to touch it once, which is rare when you’re behind the wheel that long. Heated seats are some of the better that I’ve experienced lately, working quickly to get up to temp.

Noise and vibration: 8
The Camry is noticeably quieter than the Sonata on the highway. It does a great job of keeping most outside intrusions from the cabin — my only complaint is the engine noise at higher speeds. It’s gritty and not very nice to listen to.
