2021 Toyota Camry Hybrid Preview summaryImage

The Toyota Camry Hybrid is a midsize sedan, much like the Honda Accord Hybrid and Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. For 2021, it benefits from a facelift and a new trim option.

Toyota offers the Camry Hybrid in four grades—LE, SE, XLE, and a new-for-2021 XSE grade. The LE and XLE’s comfort-oriented look sports a new front fascia, as does the sportier look for the SE and XSE trims. Inside, Toyota adopted a floating infotainment screen layout, in order to move that information to eye level.

Meanwhile, the powertrain remains unchanged. It consists of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, two electric motors, and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) for 208 system horsepower. There are also Normal, Eco, Sport, and EV driving system modes. Fuel economy is a stellar 51 mpg city, 53 mpg highway, and 52 mpg combined.

The base LE trim comes with17-inch wheels, a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality, satellite radio, Bluetooth, six speakers, bi-LED headlights, keyless access and start, and dual-zone automatic climate control. From there, 18- and 19-inch wheels, a new 9-inch infotainment system, sport suspension, leatherette or leather upholstery, Qi smartphone charging, an 8-way power driver’s seat, heated and cooled front seats, and JBL Audio are all available as you ascend the trim ladder.

All 2021 Camry Hybrid models come with the new Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ system, bundling forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, road sign assist, full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and automatic high beams. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are optional on the LE and SE trim levels, and standard on the XLE and XSE. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) tested the non-hybrid Camry in 2021, awarding it “Top Safety Pick+” honors.

The 2021 Camry Hybrid is a more competent family sedan than ever.
