2027 Toyota Camry Performance & MPG
What Is the Horsepower of the 2027 Toyota Camry?
The 2027 Toyota Camry makes 225 net combined horsepower with standard front-wheel drive and 232 net combined horsepower with available Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive, according to Toyota. Every Camry pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system (THS 5) and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT).
Toyota made the Camry exclusively hybrid with the ninth-generation redesign, so there is no gas-only or V6 engine in the lineup. Power from the lithium-ion traction battery works through the electric motor generator to help deliver responsive acceleration.

How Does Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive Work?
Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive is available on all five grades. Per Toyota, it uses an electric motor generator on the rear axle and raises output to 232 net combined horsepower. The system distributes torque between the front and rear axles based on driving conditions. When it detects slippery roads or a loss of tire grip, it can send torque to the rear wheels for added traction. See which other Toyota models offer all-wheel drive.
