2026 Toyota Camry: Hybrid-Only Excellence at Performance Toyota Bountiful

The 2026 Toyota Camry builds on the momentum of its highly successful ninth-generation redesign, affirming its place as a leader in the mid-size sedan segment. At Performance Toyota Bountiful, we’re proud to showcase a vehicle that has evolved from a dependable family car into a stylish, efficient, and technologically advanced hybrid-only machine. With its refined ride, impressive fuel economy, and a wider range of trims, the 2026 Camry is more compelling than ever for drivers in the Bountiful and Woods Cross areas.

A New Identity: All Hybrid, All the Time

The 2026 Camry continues its hybrid-only journey, a bold move that has paid off in spades. Every model is powered by Toyota’s efficient 5th-generation Hybrid System, which pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a lightweight electric motor. The result is a combined output of 225 horsepower for front-wheel-drive models, providing a smooth and responsive driving experience.

For those seeking all-weather confidence, the available Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive adds a dedicated rear electric motor, boosting the total system output to 232 horsepower and ensuring superior traction and stability.

This commitment to electrification delivers incredible fuel efficiency, with an estimated 51 MPG combined on FWD models and 47 MPG combined for AWD models.

Camry’s Advantage: The hybrid-only approach means every Camry delivers exceptional fuel economy without compromising on performance or driving enjoyment. It’s the perfect balance of efficiency and power for modern drivers.
