Overview

As the sister model to the next-generation Lexus ES, the 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid is a sleek sedan combining gas and electric power. It majors on tech, with Apple CarPlay and Amazon compatibility, while the starting price checks in below $30,000.

What's New for 2019

Following a comprehensive redesign earlier this year, the 2019 mode is mechanically unchanged. Apple CarPlay is standard for the first time, while the third-generation of Toyota’s Entune multimedia system is also Amazon Alexa compatible.

Choosing Your Toyota Camry Hybrid

The Camry Hybrid continues to stand apart from the rest of Toyota’s flagship sedan range. Every model is powered by a 2.5-liter gas engine augmented by an electric motor for a combined system output of 208 horsepower. Power is fed to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission with sequential manual override – a different system to the eight-speed automatic gearbox fitted to conventionally-powered Camry models.

Unusually, Toyota quotes different fuel economy levels for the base LE model compared to the SE and XLE. The base Camry Hybrid achieves an EPA-estimated 51 miles per gallon city, 53 mpg highway, and 52 combined, compared to 44/47/46 mpg (city/highway/combined) for the upper trims. This may be partially explained by the inclusion of a superior nickel-metal hydride battery in SE and XLE models, whose curb weights are also higher thanks to extra equipment.

Toyota Camry Hybrid

LE

It may have less equipment than its pricier siblings, but the Camry Hybrid LE hardly lacks for standard features. For $29,070 (all prices include the $920 destination fee), the LE offers automatic LED lights, dual-zone climate control, and keyless entry. Safety is taken care of with 10 airbags, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. It’ll even deactivate the battery in the event of a crash. Toyota’s Entune 3.0 audio system includes a seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay as standard.

The main option LE buyers can consider is a $2,690 package which bundles blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a moonroof, an upgraded audio system, wireless smartphone charging, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and HomeLink.

Toyota Camry Hybrid

SE

The Camry Hybrid SE retails for $30,770. It’s distinguished externally by a black front grille with a mesh insert, color-keyed side panels, and a rear spoiler. The 16-inch steel wheels on LE models give way to black-finished 18-inch wheels, while the SE’s exhaust gains dual chrome tips. There’s embossed mesh trim in the cabin, and the front seats are heated. The same $2,690 package is again available.

Toyota Camry Hybrid

XLE

The flagship XLE trim starts at $33,645 and is marked out by LED headlights and taillights, a metallic front grille, a chrome exhaust tip, and silver-finish alloy wheels. Rear passengers will be grateful for the dedicated rear heater vents – part of the XLE’s dual-zone climate control. Safety is improved with blind-spot warning indicators on the outside mirrors, while other standard features include a 10-inch color head-up display, wireless device charging, heated front seats, and ambient cabin lighting.

The Navigation Package with options that costs $2,605 bundles a moonroof, navigation, and an upgraded audio system. The Navigation Package with options that costs $4,570 also includes adaptive headlights, a surround-view camera system, intelligent clearance sonar, and rear cross-traffic automatic emergency braking.

CarsDirect Tip

With a head-up display and wireless charging as standard, the 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE will appeal to technology lovers. The small price premium over SE trim seems worth it, especially since certain driver assistance options are only available on the range-topping model.

The 2019 Camry Hybrid doesn’t quite manage to be exciting, although it’s a step up from a Prius. Instead, it’s sensible, safe, and comfortable – along with extremely economical. In our eyes, that’s a win.

Best Value

The clear winner in the Camry Hybrid lineup is the base LE trim. Of the three Hybrid trims available (LE, SE, and XLE), it’s the only one to use a lithium-ion battery. Oddly, the other two use a heavier nickel-metal-hydride unit, which diminishes efficiency considerably.

The LE trim provides enough luxury for most, anyway. It gets a power driver’s seat, alloy wheels, keyless entry, push-button start, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The wheels are 16-inchers with low-resistance tires on them, but you weren’t buying this car for its handling anyway.

Other than accessories and paint, the only decision left to make is a single package that costs $2,690 and adds a moonroof, some convenience and active safety features, and an upgraded audio system. We’d skip it. It's a significant price increase, and the Camry Hybrid’s standard active safety tech already includes the best features: adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, traffic sign recognition, pedestrian detection, and automatic emergency braking.

This leaves a comfortable cruiser that slides under the $30,000 mark:

  • Model:2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid LE
  • Engine: 2.5-liter four-cylinder / 88-kW electric motor / 1.0-kWh lithium-ion battery
  • Output:208 hp / 163 lb-ft
  • Transmission: Electronic continuously variable transmission (CVT)
  • Drivetrain:Front-wheel drive
  • MPG:51 City / 53 Hwy
  • Options: None
  • Base Price:$29,070 (including the $920 destination fee)
  • Best Value Price:$29,070

Performance

Toyota Camry Hybrid

The real attraction of the hybrid powertrain is its fuel economy, which is exceptional. The Camry Hybrid LE gets an EPA-estimated 52 miles per gallon combined, and even the heavier SE and XLE get a respectable 46 mpg combined. Even better, the system works without frustrating the driver. Switching between gas and electric power is hardly noticeable, and the CVT gearbox is well behaved around town. The ride is soft and comfortable, and the steering is light but precise. This isn’t a car for racing enthusiasts, but it’s a nice way to get around.

While the torque from the electric motor helps, the powertrain still strains to execute passes on the highway. Our larger complaint is the nickel batteries in the upper trims. It boosts capacity to 1.6 kWh, but decreases fuel economy. For commuters whose primary concerns are comfort and efficiency, that’s a real downside.

Style

The Camry’s looks may be polarizing, but we like when automakers take risks, and this one pays off. The exterior is clean and eye-catching, especially with alloy wheels. On the inside, a sweeping dash surrounds the high, seven- or eight-inch infotainment touchscreen. Seats are firm and supportive, and upholstery can be real leather on the higher trims. Standard features are reasonable, and the lineup is highly customizable. Perhaps most impressive is the Camry’s safety ratings – it earned five stars in all of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's categories and a Top Safety Pick Plus award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Cargo capacity is middling, with only 15.1 cubic feet available in the trunk. The infotainment system is mostly good, but the base screen is more reflective than competitors. While Toyota added Apple CarPlay compatibility this year, it dropped Pandora and still lacks Android Auto.

The Best and Worst Things

A better-looking hybrid is a good thing in our book, but we wish the upper trims could keep up the strong fuel economy.

Right For? Wrong For?

Toyota Camry Hybrid

The Camry Hybrid is perfect for commuters who don’t want to advertise their love of wheatgrass juice. It’s comfortable, safe, and economical, but it has the looks of a well-styled sedan. It may not be quite as upscale as the Honda Accord, but it gets better mileage.

Drivers looking for sportiness will be disappointed. The powertrain is sedate, and the suspension leans in the corners. It’s practical and friendly, but it'll never be called exciting.

The Bottom Line

In Hybrid form, the Camry is a hit. Fuel economy in the 50s will ensure that visits to the pump are few and far between, and the cabin will keep passengers comfy and safe. This is the Toyota take on a cruiser: mild-mannered, relaxed, and easy on the wallet. That's a package that's easy to recommend.
