Toyota has completed manufacturing the first 2025 Camry at its Kentucky facility, marking the start of the Camry’s ninth generation.
The Camry rolled off the assembly line on May 8 at the facility where Toyota employees have assembled more than 11 million Camrys dating back to 1988.
Toyota Kentucky has been the auto company’s North American hub since 1986.
The 2025 Toyota Camry marks a significant change, however, due to its engine. The new Camry will exclusively use the fifth-generation Toyota hybrid system that produces as much as 232 horsepower.
Toyota estimates that its all-hybrid Camry will deliver between 44 and 51 mpg depending on the trim level and powertrain.
The 2025 Toyota Camry will have both front-wheel and all-wheel drive options. The FWD LE will start at a base price of $29,495. The top-of-the-line FWD Camry XSE will start at $35,695.
The AWD LE will start at a base price of $31,020. The top-of-the-line AWD Camry XSE will start at $37,220.
Front-wheel models will have a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors. The combined output will be 225 horsepower. All-wheel drive models will add a third motor that increases the output to 232 horsepower.
“Congratulations once again to Toyota,” Gov. Andy Beshear said in a statement. “Over the decades, Toyota has never wavered in its commitment to its employees and this community.
“Relying on their continuous improvement mindset, they continue to find ways to renew this plant and provide future opportunity and stability for the nearly 10,000 Kentuckians who work here. They are a first-class employer in this community and state.”
Toyota has invested nearly $10 billion in the Kentucky plant since its opening. This includes a $1.3 billion investment early in 2024 so that Toyota could build an all-new, three-row electric SUV. This SUV will be sold in the United States.
