The 2025 Toyota Camry emerged in the U.S. market with a hybrid powertrain only, but this does not imply that the vehicle has abandoned traditional powertrains. In the Middle East, for example, it is offered with a traditional gasoline engine alongside the hybrid system.
The car is equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 201 horsepower and 240 Newton-meters of torque, which matches the figures of the previous generation model. This power is 26 horsepower less than the hybrid version in the Middle East, while the traditional engine is connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission rather than a CVT.
Toyota offers the traditional combustion engine version only in countries like the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, where hybrid vehicles are not as prevalent as in some European and American markets. However, the 2025 Toyota Camry is available in Middle Eastern markets with an optional hybrid system, but only with front-wheel drive.
In terms of design, the Toyota Camry in the Middle East has the same features as the American model without any notable external or internal changes. The standard version of the car relies on 16-inch steel wheels, while the higher trims come with 18-inch aluminum wheels. Inside, the base version comes with an 8-inch entertainment system screen, while the higher version features a 12.3-inch screen.
