After making a quiet preview at the Philippine International Motor Show, the next-generation Camry has also arrived at Toyota showrooms in an equally hush-hush manner just in time for Christmas.
The ninth-generation 2025 Camry (XV80) is priced at P 2,671,000 for Precious Metal and Platinum White Pearl Mica and P 2,651,000 for Attitude Black Mica.
Underpinned by the same GA-K platform as the previous Camry along with the same front doors and roofline, it does manage to gain the new “Hammerhead” grille design along with C-shaped headlights and a diamond mesh grille pattern. The same hammerhead design is continued at the rear with a sleek taillight signature and condensed rear end. It rides on standard 18-inch wheels with 235/45R18 tires.
Though the platform is carried over, the powertrain has been updated. The 2025 Camry uses Toyota’s fifth-generation 2.5-liter Toyota Hybrid System. This self-charging hybrid system provides a combined total of 230 horsepower—186 horsepower of which is courtesy of the Atkinson cycle 2.5-liter engine. It comes with a 50-liter fuel tank that equates to close to 1,000-kilometers of range.
Compared to the previous Toyota Hybrid System, this fifth-gen system has a more compact transaxle with smaller and lighter components and a more powerful electric motor with double the number of magnets inside the rotor. It also gets a new lithium-ion battery to replace the current nickel-metal hydride battery, providing a more compact size, lighter weight, and increased output.
Inside, the Camry has a revised dashboard that integrates the center display into the dashboard, flowing into horizontal slats that seamlessly transition to the passenger air vents. The material choice has been upgraded with brown leather and suede trim along with piano black accents. A new front seat design—with 8-way power adjustment and ventilation for both the driver and front passenger—equates to better comfort, while the rear seats also offer power recline in a 40/20/40 split.
Tech-wise, it has all digital gauges (12.3-inch in size) paired with an 12.3-inch touchscreen center display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also standard is a wireless charger as is a plethora of USB ports. In terms of convenience, it comes with tri-zone climate control with rear vents, a push-start system, automatic rain-sensing wipers, a moonroof, a 9-speaker JBL sound system, a power rear sun blind, and more.
Like the Land Cruiser Prado, Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard issue in the 2025 Camry. This suite includes pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, lane tracing assist, and even proactive driving assist. This is on top of 7 SRS airbags, ABS with EBD, blind spot detection, and front and rear proximity sensors.

Nice to see all features are present and accounted for in the PH model at launch. Unfortunately, it is now priced like top-spec truck-based and unibody SUVs.
ReplyDeleteYun price. Is300 na Lang
ReplyDeleteWay overpriced. It's not even the 4wd model.
ReplyDeleteWay too pricey, toyota knows this will be not a volume seller so maybe they priced it high. Whether they buy ilexus or this camry toyota wins. No more accord. Only Germans remain but still expensive
ReplyDeleteA nice beater car for the rich
ReplyDeleteIn order to buy the previous Camry, Toyota dealers required you to pay via in-house financing, add on 5 years of insurance, buy hundreds of thousands worth of useless accessories, plus other extortion tactics. Just as they do with the Land Cruiser and Alphard. I wonder if that practice will still go on with this "new" Camry. The "all-new" Camry (XV80) is just a heavily facelifted version of the old Camry (XV70) that's been around since 2017.
