2026 Toyota Camry Xle Redesign and Update Plan

Exterior and Interior

There was an opportunity to put the Camry Xle through its paces in some curves up in the hills, but the hugely impressive thing about it was how it removed every sense of effort from driving on the highway. Firstly, it was quiet and composed, zipping along in traffic without a fuss. Second, when a dose of throttle was required to make a merge, catch an exit, or ease around a dawdling truck, the typical drone of a CVT was almost absent.

Toyota says it has returned the fifth-gen hybrid system to rely more on electric torque when acceleration is called for, and it works. If you floor it, there is the typical shiftless surge and a limit to how much power is on offer. For 99 percent of regular driving duties, a Camry Xle owner will only notice that power delivery is more than sufficient, and fill-ups are few and far between.

However, part of the reason to look at a sedan versus a crossover is that the former comes with a lower center of gravity and, thus, better handling. The SE and XSE are no TRDs in total grip, but they are fun to drive when the road gets twisty. The selectable driving modes add weight to the steering – as usual these days, there’s not much feedback. How the hybrid powertrain delivers mid-range torque turns canyon roads into a momentum game. It’s not quite a sports sedan, but it is pleasingly quick.

2026 Toyota Camry Xle Specs

Tech will perform admirably in the new Camry Xle. Each has two type C and one type A USB port out of five. Wireless charging pads are also standard, with one in the front row and one in each of the second rows. However, given its size and placement in the center console, it could not be wide enough to accommodate the most popular smartphones. It will happen eventually since in a few years everything will be an Xle. The greatest way to usher the Camry Xle into the new EVH would be a truly economical, very roomy Xle sedan from Toyota. The new ID7 has essentially taken the role of the Pat sedan in Volkswagen’s lineup, while the Golf is currently in its final generation.

Engine and Performance

Toyota has long named its cars after various types of crowns (the Corolla, for instance, is Latin for “small crown”). If you’re interested in a bit of trivia, a kanmuri is the traditional black-lacquered headgear you may have seen in a Japanese period piece like the filmed-in-B.C. Shōgun. It is from this noble attire that the Camry Xle takes its name.

Possibly, this seems a little high-falutin’ for the beige sedans with the inevitable rear bumper dents cluttering up the average grocery store parking lot. Still, for the 2025 model, it could not be more appropriate. The Camry Xle isn’t a luxury product, but it might as well be one. The upgraded cabin is a vast improvement over the previous generation. It is more conventional-looking but impressive (especially in red leather, which is quite daring). And then there’s how it drives.

First, pour out a 40 oz of high-octane for the departed V6 (not literally, of course, that’d be polluting), as it was one of the best engines that never got any credit. The old Camry Xle TRD was an unexpectedly vigorous hooligan of a thing and will be missed. Sort of. The sportiest of the 2025 Camry Xles, the XSE, is nothing like the TRD. That’s a good thing, as the TRD didn’t fit the Camry Xle mission statement, being a sort of tuner-special trim with a ride that bordered on uncomfortably firm. The XSE is shockingly smooth for a car with 19-inch wheels, even on Southern California’s loud and pitted concrete highways.

2026 Toyota Camry Xle Fuel Economy

the 2026 Cam EV retains the sleek and sophisticated silhouette of its gasoline-powered counterpart but with a distinct electric-inspired twist, the front fascia features a bold aerodynamic Grill design that seamlessly integrates the charging port, lending a futuristic and efficient appearance. 2026 Toyota Camry Xle Release date

2026 Toyota Camry Xle Safety Features

While Toyota may eventually sell a de-contented Camry Xle to appeal to fleet buyers and Uber drivers, the base SE trim is well-equipped. Canadians will appreciate the standard heated seats and steering wheel – impossible to live without once you’ve had them – and with the 8-inch touchscreen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto and a wireless charging pad, you don’t need any more technology than you already carry in your pocket. 2026 Toyota Camry Xle Release date

2026 Toyota Camry Xle Price and Release Date

Standard safety assists include Toyota’s latest driver aids, including collision warning and automated braking, automatic high-beam headlights, and a lane-keeping system. Blind spot detection and cross-traffic alert are also standard. Anyone buying the Camry Xle for long-distance efficiency will appreciate that full-speed automated cruise control is a standard feature. Price for all this stuff? $34,300, about 10 percent more than a base non-hybrid 2024 SE. At $1,600 more than a hybrid LE was in the last generation, it’s not a huge price increase.

An additional $2,000 gets you a moonroof and 18-inch wheels with some other niceties, and $1,650 gets you an all-wheel drive in the SE AWD at $37,950. This is the volume model and has everything you need. The XSE and XLE models offer more sport and luxury, respectively.  2026 Toyota Camry Xle Release date
