2026 Toyota Camry Wagon Specs, Colors, Interior    –  Everyone knows the mid-size sedan segment is dead. Why, in 2023, sales of the Toyota Camry Wagon fell again, just as they had in 2022. Almost 20 years ago, at least in terms of the U.S. market, Toyota sold nearly half a million Camry Wagons every year. For the past five years, sales have been around 300,000. Wait. Isn’t that kind of a big number?

Yes, yes, it is. For all the doom and gloom about the rush to crossovers, Toyota’s Camry Wagon is still a mainstay badge with a strong following. For 2026, the company has refined and polished its offering. Every single Camry Wagon sold will be a hybrid with Toyota’s new fifth-gen system. There’s available all-wheel drive and just four trim levels. The styling has been infused with some of the look of the Prius, and it looks pretty sharp. Underneath, the suspension is reworked with Toyota saying that the SE and XSE grades are specifically tuned for sporty character.

The sportiest of the 2026 Camry Wagons, the XSE, is nothing like the TRD. That’s a good thing, as the TRD didn’t really fit the Camry Wagon mission statement, being a sort of tuner-special trim with a ride that bordered on uncomfortably firm. The XSE is frankly shockingly smooth for a car with 19-inch wheels, even on Southern California’s loud and pitted concrete highways.  2026 Toyota Camry Wagon Specs

There was an opportunity to put the Camry Wagon 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.

Engine and Performance

Electric power comes from a lithium-ion battery pack that feeds power to a 100-kW electric motor in all models and a second 30-kW motor on the rear axle for those with all-wheel-drive. Total power is rated at 225 hp for the front-wheel-drive SE, and 232 hp for the SE AWD and everything above it. Official fuel economy figures are a best of 4.5 L/100 km city and 4.7 L/100 km highway for the front-wheel-drive car with the smallest diameter wheels, and a worst of 5.4 L/100 km city and 5.5 L/100 km highway for the XSE and its 19-inch alloys and 235-mm-wide tires.

There is nothing about this car that requires you to make any adjustment from driving a purely combustion-powered sedan. Fill the 50-litre fuel tank to the brim and you could theoretically drive 1,100 km without stopping in one of the front-drive sedans. The trunk holds 424 L of stuff, the same as the outgoing model. The cabin is spacious and comfortable. It’s a Camry Wagon.  2026 Toyota Camry Wagon Specs

2026 Toyota Camry Wagon Fuel Economy

Toyota says it has retuned the fifth-gen hybrid system to rely more on electric torque when acceleration is called for, and it works. If you really floor it, there is, of course, the typical shiftless surge and a limit to how much power is on offer. For 99 per cent of normal driving duties, the only thing a Camry Wagon owner will notice is 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 centre of gravity and, thus, better handling. The selectable driving modes add weight to the steering – as usual these days, there’s not much feedback. The way the hybrid powertrain delivers mid-range torque turns canyon roads into a momentum game. It’s not quite a sport sedan, but it is pleasingly quick.  2026 Toyota Camry Wagon Specs

2026 Toyota Camry Wagon Safety Features

While Toyota may eventually sell a de-contented Camry Wagon to appeal to fleet buyers and Uber drivers, the base SE trim is very 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 really need any more technology than you’re already carrying around in your pocket.

2026 Toyota Camry Wagon Price and Release Date

Standard safety assists include Toyota’s latest group of 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 Wagon for long-distance efficiency will appreciate that full-speed automated cruise control is a standard feature. Price for all this stuff? $34,300, or about 10 per cent 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 on top of that gets you all-wheel drive in the SE AWD at $37,950. This is the volume model and has everything you actually need. The XSE and XLE models offer a dose more sport and luxury, respectively.   2026 Toyota Camry Wagon Specs
