2025 Toyota Camry: A Grade-By-Grade Guide to Canada's Favorite Sedan
October 31 2024,
The 2025 Toyota Camry marks a bold step forward with its all-hybrid lineup, offering Canadian drivers five distinct grades that blend efficiency, technology, and style. Each grade builds upon the last to create a comprehensive range of options for every type of driver.
The Foundation of Excellence: Camry SE
The front-wheel-drive Camry SE establishes a high baseline for the entire lineup. This entry-level grade comes equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen featuring Toyota Multimedia, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a wireless phone charger. The cabin offers impressive comfort with heated front seats, an 8-way power driver seat with lumbar support, and dual-zone automatic climate control. A sport-tuned suspension and 16-inch alloy wheels provide responsive handling, while the heated leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters adds a touch of sportiness. Safety features include Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, Blind Spot Monitor with Safe Exit Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
Taking It Up a Level: Camry SE Upgrade
Building on the SE's foundation, the SE Upgrade adds several key features that enhance both convenience and comfort. The 18-inch alloy wheels provide a more commanding presence, while the moonroof opens up the cabin. The Smart Key system with smart entry makes daily use more convenient, and the auto-dimming rearview mirror and garage door opener add practical luxury touches. This grade maintains the front-wheel-drive configuration while delivering additional amenities that make everyday driving more enjoyable.
All-Weather Confidence: Camry SE Upgrade AWD
The SE Upgrade AWD takes everything drivers love about the SE Upgrade and adds Toyota's advanced Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive system. This intelligent AWD system delivers 232 horsepower while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency ratings of 5.1/5.1/5.1 L/100 km (city/highway/combined). The system automatically engages when needed, providing additional traction in adverse weather conditions or during dynamic driving situations.
Athletic Luxury: Camry XSE AWD
The XSE AWD grade elevates the Camry's sporty character with distinctive 19-inch alloy wheels and a panoramic moonroof. Inside, heated and ventilated front seats with leather upholstery create a premium environment, complemented by an 8-way power passenger seat. The technology suite expands to include a 10-inch head-up display, 12.3-inch multi-information display, and panoramic view monitor. The nine-speaker JBL Audio system and 12.3-inch touchscreen display with Toyota Multimedia provide enhanced entertainment options. Advanced safety features include Traffic Jam Assist, Front Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Change Assist.
Premium Refinement: Camry XLE AWD
At the top of the lineup, the XLE AWD represents the pinnacle of Camry luxury. While featuring the same advanced technology as the XSE AWD, it adds sophisticated touches like memory settings for the driver seat and side mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, and 18-inch alloy wheels designed specifically for this premium grade. The XLE AWD maintains the electronic all-wheel drive system while focusing on delivering a smooth, refined driving experience that prioritizes comfort without compromising performance.
With its transition to an all-hybrid lineup, the 2025 Toyota Camry offers Canadian drivers an unprecedented combination of efficiency, technology, and choice. From the well-equipped SE to the premium XLE AWD, each grade provides a distinct character while maintaining the quality and reliability that have made the Camry Canada's best-selling mid-size sedan.
