2027 Toyota Camry Stays Under $30,000 — and Keeps Everything Else, Too
Toyota’s hybrid-only sedan carries over for 2027 with a $100 increase across the board. The LE still undercuts the cheapest Accord Hybrid by more than $4,000.
Toyota has priced the 2027 Camry at $29,700 before destination, and that number is the whole story: the only change buyers will notice on the ninth-generation sedan this year is a $100 increase on every trim. The hybrid-only powertrain, the five-grade lineup, and the standard tech package all carry over unchanged.
That restraint matters because of where the Camry sits. The cheapest Honda Accord Hybrid, the Sport, starts at $33,795, which leaves the Camry LE with a gap of more than $4,000 before either car gets a destination charge. Our Camry vs. Accord Hybrid cost-to-own breakdown already favored the Toyota on sticker; a $100 bump doesn't move that needle.
What $29,700 buys
Every 2027 Camry pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system. Front-drive cars make 225 hp; adding the rear electric motor for all-wheel drive brings that to 232 hp. Toyota's own estimate for the front-drive LE is 51 mpg combined, and all-wheel drive is available on every grade, including the base car.
According to Autoblog's trim-by-trim breakdown, the SE moves to $32,200, the Nightshade to $33,200, the XLE to $34,900, and the XSE to $36,100, with all-wheel drive adding $1,525 at any level. Toyota's release lists only the starting price and says cars reach dealers this fall.
Standard equipment is unchanged: Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8-inch touchscreen, Qi charging, and five USB ports. The XLE and XSE keep their 12.3-inch screens, and a 10-inch head-up display and nine-speaker JBL audio remain options on those two grades.
Why Toyota isn't touching it
The Camry doesn't need a refresh. Through September, Toyota sold 260,684 Camrys in the U.S., up 11.2 percent year over year, according to Toyota Motor North America's sales report. That total beats the RAV4, which fell 29.2 percent to 253,664 units during its model changeover. For now, the sedan is the best-selling vehicle Toyota builds, a point we flagged in our Q3 sales coverage.
The hybrid-only strategy also looks less risky than it did when Toyota made the call for 2025. Electrified models accounted for 55.3 percent of TMNA's sales this year, and the Camry contributes every one of its units to that figure.
The rest of the midsize field is thinning rather than fighting back. Kia trimmed the K5 lineup for 2027 but still prices it under $28,000, which keeps it the budget choice. Honda's answer to the Camry's price is a non-hybrid Accord LX at $28,395, but that car can't match the Toyota's fuel economy.
Grade-by-grade, nothing new
The LE keeps its 16-inch wheels and fabric trim; the XLE adds leather and Dinamica microfiber, 18-inch wheels, and heated front seats. The SE and XSE get sport suspension, mesh grilles, dual exhaust tips, and aluminum pedals, with the XSE on 19-inch wheels and leather. The Nightshade takes the SE recipe and blacks out the badging, wheels, mirror caps, and spoiler, and it is limited to three colors: Ice Cap, Supersonic Red, and Midnight Black Metallic.
All of it is built in Georgetown, Kentucky, and the hybrid battery warranty stays at 10 years or 150,000 miles. Toyota hasn't published a destination charge for 2027 or an EPA figure for the all-wheel-drive grades yet; expect both before deliveries start.
