Building on its new all-hybrid generation, Toyota is adding a darker, sportier touch of style to the Camry for the 2026 model year. Toyota Canada has also announced pricing for the model, with a starting price for the base model set at $34,575.
2026 Toyota Camry – What’s New?
Toyota's popular sedan recently made the jump to an exclusively hybrid powertrain with the 2025 generation. This year, the main news is the introduction of a stylishly assertive Nightshade Edition.
Available on the SE Upgrade AWD version, the Nightshade adds exclusive design elements, including 19-inch alloy wheels with a matte bronze finish, a rear spoiler, and black mirrors and emblems.
Otherwise, the all-hybrid platform (fifth-generation system) and the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite, introduced on the 2025 Camry, are back again this year.
