The ninth-generation (XV80) Toyota Camry has now been launched in Australia, where the D-segment goes on sale solely with a hybrid powertrain, as in Singapore where it went on sale last month. This model has also scored five stars in the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP), where it put in a record showing of 95% in the adult occupant protection category.

Powertrain for the Australian-market Camry is the fifth-generation Hybrid Electric powertrain that produces 231 PS, comprised of a 188 PS/221 Nm 2.5 litre Atkinson-cycle petrol engine with a 136 PS/208 Nm permanent magnet synchronous motor. This powertrain drives the front axle via a continuously variable transmission.

In latest ninth-generation form, the Camry measures 4,920 mm long, 1,840 mm wide, 1,455 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,825 mm, making the new car 35 mm longer overall, and its luggage capacity has increased seven litres to 500 litres.

Standard equipment on the 2025 Camry starting from the base Ascent variant includes 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, DRLs and rear combination lamps, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment unit.
