Should I buy a used Toyota Camry now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −5.58% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −1.24%.

It combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a pair of electric motors to produce 225 horsepower in front-wheel-drive models, while all-wheel drive versions add a third electric motor and bump total output to 232 hp.
• Tech: Toyota equips the more affordable Camry models with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and our test car’s Multimedia Upgrade Package included a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen. The optional Drive Connect subscription adds cloud-based navigation, destination assistance, and an Intelligent Assistant conversational voice recognition system.
