Toyota Kirloskar Motor has revised the prices of the ninth-generation Camry in India, marking its first price increase since its December 2024 launch. The hybrid sedan is now priced at ₹48.50 lakh (ex-showroom), reflecting a ₹50,000 hike over its previous ₹48 lakh tag. Customers opting for the Platinum White Pearl exterior shade will pay an additional ₹15,000, bringing its price to ₹48.65 lakh. The updated Camry retains its single "Elegant" variant, offering a 2.5L petrol-hybrid powertrain paired with an e-CVT gearbox. This setup delivers a combined 227 BHP and 220 Nm torque, with Toyota claiming an impressive 25.49 kmpl mileage—a standout in its segment. Enhanced Features & Design The 2025 Camry boasts a sleeker design inspired by the Toyota Crown, featuring angular LED headlights, a honeycomb grille, and revised tail lamps. Inside, it packs a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, reclining rear seats, a 9-speaker JBL audio system, and a head-up display. Safety remains a priority with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (Level 2 ADAS), 9 airbags, and a 360-degree camera. Market Position Positioned as a frugal alternative to luxury sedans like the Audi A4, the Camry’s price revision aligns with its premium offerings, including three driving modes (Eco, Sport, Normal) and a three-zone climate control system. Despite the hike, it remains a compelling choice for buyers seeking hybrid efficiency without compromising on luxury. Source: CarWale, CarandBike, Team-BHP, and Autocar India.
