No — the current Camry is a hybrid-only model in the US market. Toyota transitioned the Camry to hybrid-only for the current generation, which means every Camry sold today pairs a 2.5L four-cylinder engine with an electric motor as part of the standard powertrain. The hybrid system is self-charging and does not require a plug, so the refueling experience is identical to a conventional gasoline car.

Does the Toyota Camry come with AWD?

Yes — AWD is available on select Toyota Camry trims, which is uncommon for a mid-size sedan in this segment. The AWD system improves traction on wet and snowy roads without requiring the buyer to step into a crossover or SUV. FWD is the standard configuration on most trims and delivers slightly better fuel economy, while AWD suits buyers in Connecticut who want year-round traction confidence without giving up the sedan driving experience.

What is the difference between the Camry XSE and TRD?

Both the XSE and TRD are sport-oriented Camry trims but take different approaches. The XSE emphasizes sporty appearance with a two-tone exterior option, sport-tuned suspension, and upgraded interior styling. The TRD goes further with TRD-tuned suspension, a sport-tuned exhaust, larger front brakes, a rear spoiler, and a lowered stance. The TRD appeals to buyers who want a more assertive driving character, while the XSE suits those who prioritize a sportier look with enhanced ride and style.

How much trunk space does the Toyota Camry have?

The Toyota Camry offers approximately 15.1 cubic feet of trunk space, which places it near the top of the mid-size sedan segment for cargo volume. That figure accommodates multiple full-size suitcases for travel and handles everyday grocery and errand loads without creative packing. The trunk opening is wide and the load floor is accessible, which makes loading and unloading simpler than many competitors in the same class.

What safety features come standard on the Toyota Camry?

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard on every Toyota Camry trim level. It includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, lane tracing assist, radar cruise control, automatic high beams, and road sign assist. The full safety suite is included regardless of which trim or configuration a buyer selects, not just on upper-tier models.

The Camry Is Now Hybrid-Only — and That Is a Genuine Upgrade

Toyota made a decisive move with the current Camry generation: every model sold in the US is now a hybrid. There is no gas-only version, no trim where the hybrid is an upgrade, and no configuration where buyers choose between efficiency and the standard powertrain. A 2.5L four-cylinder hybrid system producing approximately 225 horsepower in FWD or 232 horsepower with AWD comes with every Camry on the lot as part of the base package.

That transition benefits buyers who were never going to seek out the hybrid trim on their own. The efficiency gains, smoother low-speed power delivery from the electric motor, and quieter cabin at everyday driving speeds are now part of the standard Camry experience rather than reserved for the buyer who specifically checked the hybrid option box.

Fuel economy in the Camry hybrid reaches into the upper 40s on the EPA combined cycle depending on configuration — a figure that makes a noticeable difference in annual fuel costs for buyers who commute regularly or put significant mileage on their daily driver throughout the year.

Visit Girard Toyota in New London, CT to drive the current Camry and experience how the hybrid powertrain changes the day-to-day feel compared to a conventional sedan.

AWD in a Mid-Size Sedan — A Rare Option Worth Knowing About

Mid-size sedans rarely offer AWD, and the Camry's availability of the system on select trims is a meaningful differentiator for Connecticut buyers who have been choosing crossovers partly because they could not get all-wheel traction in a car. The Camry's AWD system works alongside the hybrid powertrain and adds minimal weight without imposing a significant fuel economy penalty compared to the FWD configuration.

For buyers in and around Westbrook who deal with wet coastal roads in fall, winter precipitation from December through March, and occasional icy stretches on inland routes, Camry AWD provides the year-round traction confidence they might otherwise believe requires moving to an SUV. That option keeps sedan buyers who prefer the lower ride height, better highway handling, and more efficient footprint from having to make a format compromise they may not actually want.

FWD standard on most trims for buyers who prioritize the strongest fuel economy output

Buyers who have been driving crossovers primarily for AWD and miss the lower, more planted feel of a sedan will find the Camry AWD worth a direct comparison against the SUV they are currently in before making a final call.

Ask the Girard Toyota team near New London, CT which Camry trims include AWD and whether the traction benefit makes practical sense for your regular driving conditions in and around Westbrook.

The Sporty End of the Camry Lineup

The Camry's long-standing reputation as a sensible family sedan has overshadowed how capable its sport-oriented trims are at delivering a genuinely engaging driving experience. The XSE features sport-tuned suspension, an available two-tone exterior, and upgraded interior styling that shifts the character noticeably away from the quiet, conservative feel of the LE and XLE. The suspension tuning is firm enough to communicate feedback through the seat and steering without making the ride uncomfortable on Connecticut's varied road surfaces.

The TRD steps further with TRD-tuned suspension, a sport-tuned exhaust, larger front brakes, a rear spoiler, and a lowered ride height that gives the car a distinctly different presence on the road. The exhaust note registers under acceleration in a way none of the other Camry trims produce, and the combination of the lower stance and wider front fascia makes the TRD look like a different vehicle from the standard lineup at a glance. The hybrid powertrain remains underneath, so the performance character comes without surrendering the fuel economy the Camry delivers across the range.

TRD: TRD-tuned suspension, sport-tuned exhaust, larger brakes, rear spoiler, and lowered stance
Both sporty trims use the same hybrid powertrain as the rest of the Camry lineup

For buyers who have looked at the Camry before and passed because it felt too reserved, the XSE and TRD represent a meaningfully different version of the same vehicle that is worth a fresh visit and a test drive.

Stop by Girard Toyota in New London, CT to compare the XSE and TRD alongside the standard Camry trims and see how much the character shifts across the lineup.

A Cabin Built for Drivers Who Spend Real Time Behind the Wheel

The Camry's interior is engineered around the reality that most buyers use it as a primary vehicle — which means it is designed to be genuinely pleasant to spend time in rather than simply adequate. Upper trims offer a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a head-up display that projects speed and navigation cues onto the windshield, and available heated and ventilated front seats that earn their value on Connecticut's cold winter mornings and humid summer afternoons alike.

Rear passenger space is a strong point for a mid-size sedan, with legroom that accommodates adult passengers on longer trips rather than just short errands. Approximately 15.1 cubic feet of trunk space places the Camry near the top of its class for cargo volume — enough for multiple full-size suitcases, substantial grocery loads, or the everyday cargo that accumulates in a household's primary vehicle over time.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard across the full Camry lineup and covers pre-collision detection for pedestrians and cyclists, lane tracing assist, radar cruise control, automatic high beams, and road sign assist — a more complete standard safety package than most sedans at this price point carry as base equipment.
