The last time we heard anything interesting about Toyota's activities in the United States, the Japanese automaker diligently updated the slow-selling GR Supra for the 2025 model year proceeds.
It will come to nationwide dealerships with just the 3.0 and 3.0 Premium models packing up to 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque. Alas, it's not the first or last model entering the roster for the 2025 model year – they also updated part of the Corolla series, and after the 2024 Tacoma plus the returning 2024 Land Cruiser, it's about time to see at work the all-new, first-ever 2025 Toyota Crown Signia in place of the outgoing Venza and the eagerly-awaited 4Runner off-road SUV.
It's clear that Toyota has made a point of taking care of its mid-size models, and we have also seen new apparitions like the 2024 Grand Highlander or the 2024 Lexus GX 550 become popular among the company's enthusiasts. Well, let us not forget about the legendary best-selling Camry. All-new for 2025 (although some also say it's just an enhanced facelift), the mid-size sedan is only offered with its hybrid powertrain and, for the first time, mixes the electrified option with AWD.
The company also says it has numerous "connected technology and features that guarantee to make daily journeys extraordinary," plus enhanced safety features. The ninth iteration has Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system and an inline-four with available AWD, "reimagined styling, an updated infotainment software, and a number of key safety improvements." Most importantly, pricing kicks off at $28,400 and can go up to $34,600, with the Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive system available for an extra $1,525.
Naturally, maybe folks would like to see a family of Camry models that's a little more expansive – and if that can't happen in real life, then the imaginative realm of digital car content creators is ready and willing to make the change for us. More precisely, Vince Burlapp (aka 'vburlapp' on social media) is a prolific virtual artist who loves to dream of all the latest models across the wide-ranging automotive realm, and he recently envisioned an unofficial, hypothetical 2026 Toyota Camry Wagon as the perfectly practical AWD hybrid.
Now the family is growing – besides the real world's mid-size sedan with 225 hp or 232 hp (AWD), the pixel master has also cooked a two-door coupe version of the 2025 Toyota Camry. He knows very well this is merely wishful thinking, but since a Camry Coupe lived during the XV10 generation from the early 1990s, he thought that it wouldn't be a problem to emulate that roster, which included the classic four-door sedan but also a five-door station wagon and the two-door coupe.
Regarding the design, there aren't too many changes to the styling – the CGI expert simply chopped off a couple of doors and probably slimmed down the wheelbase to allow the sportier coupe proportions. The rear is of a classic and classy mid-size coupe, and the only perceivable change to the body is the addition of a sporty black plastic diffuser that also houses a dual exhaust system.
So, what do you think? Should Toyota leave the current Camry as it is and hope for the best? Or should they start expanding the body style roster in a bid to lure more customers away from the current darlings – America's crossovers, SUVs, and trucks?
