2027 Toyota Camry Performance & MPG

The 2027 Toyota Camry LE with front-wheel drive carries a manufacturer-estimated 51 MPG combined, according to Toyota’s 2027 Camry announcement. Across the lineup, EPA-estimated combined ratings range from 43 MPG (XSE AWD) to 51 MPG (LE FWD). These are 2026 EPA ratings; Toyota carries the powertrain over unchanged for 2027.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

Every 2027 Camry is a hybrid. A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine works with Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system and a lithium-ion traction battery, which recharges through regenerative braking as you drive. For commuters on Interstate 15 from Murrieta, that efficiency means fewer stops at the pump. To compare trims in person, visit our showroom on Ynez Road or call our sales team at (951) 319-7911.

2027 Camry Hybrid Powertrain Specs

What Type of Transmission Is in the 2027 Toyota Camry?

Every 2027 Camry uses an electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT) tuned for the hybrid system. Instead of stepping through fixed gears, it finds the appropriate ratio to match your throttle input, for smooth and responsive acceleration.

On front-wheel-drive models, power goes to the front wheels. All-wheel-drive models add an electric motor generator on the rear axle that works with the hybrid system. Browse our new Toyota Camry inventory to see what’s in stock.

How Does Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive Work?

Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive is available on all five trims. It uses an electric motor generator on the rear axle and raises output to 232 net combined horsepower. The system adjusts torque between the front and rear based on driving conditions, and when it detects slippery roads or a loss of tire grip, it sends torque to the rear wheels for added traction.

The 2027 Camry starts at $30,995 TSRP, and AWD is available on every trim.

Total Suggested Retail Price (TSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, processing, and handling fees, which are subject to change at any time. TSRP excludes taxes, title, license, dealer-installed options, accessories, fees and charges. TSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.

Ride and Handling

Every Camry uses a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. The SE, Nightshade and XSE add a sport-tuned suspension with specially tuned shock absorbers and springs. An electronically controlled braking system with integrated regenerative braking keeps brake feel consistent, and standard NORMAL, ECO and SPORT drive modes let you tailor how the Camry responds. Details are from Toyota’s 2027 Camry announcement.

Every 2027 Camry also comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, including Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Lane Tracing Assist.

Driver-assist and safety systems are supplemental aids and are not a substitute for safe, attentive driving. Their effectiveness depends on weather, road, and traffic conditions and other factors. Always obey traffic laws and stay attentive to the road. See your owner's manual for system details and limitations.

EPA-Estimated MPG by Trim

Ratings are 2026 EPA estimates from fueleconomy.gov. The 2027 Camry carries the same powertrain, and Toyota lists a manufacturer-estimated 51 MPG combined for the 2027 LE FWD.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

Why Does the Camry LE Get the Highest Estimated MPG?

Wheel size and weight explain most of the gap. The LE rides on 16-inch alloy wheels, the SE and XLE use 18-inch wheels, and the Nightshade and XSE use 19-inch wheels. Higher trims also carry more standard equipment, and curb weight rises from 3,450 lbs on the LE FWD (Cars.com) to 3,682 lbs on the XSE AWD (Edmunds). All-wheel drive adds the rear-axle motor generator, so each AWD trim’s estimated combined MPG is equal to or lower than its FWD version.

Wondering what that extra equipment adds inside? Every trim offers 15.1 cubic feet of trunk space, and the XLE and XSE add leather-trimmed seating and 12.3-inch screens.

Common Questions About 2027 Toyota Camry Performance and Efficiency

Does the 2027 Toyota Camry need an external plug or charging station?

No. The 2027 Camry is a self-charging hybrid that never needs to be plugged in. Its lithium-ion battery recharges through regenerative braking and power from the 2.5-liter engine.

How does Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive work on the 2027 Camry?

An electric motor generator on the rear axle sends torque to the rear wheels when the system detects slippery conditions or a loss of grip. Toyota designed the AWD system to work seamlessly with the fifth-generation hybrid system.

What factory warranty covers the 2027 Camry’s hybrid components?

Every 2027 Camry includes a 36-month/36,000-mile basic warranty, a 60-month/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and an 8-year/100,000-mile hybrid component warranty. The hybrid battery is covered for 10 years/150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
