UMW Toyota Motor has launched the 2025 Toyota Camry at the ongoing Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2024. The ninth-gen TNGA-based XV80 D-segment sedan comes in a sole 2.5 HEV hybrid variant priced from RM248,800 (OTR before insurance), fully imported (CBU) from Thailand.
Launched in Thailand last month following the model’s ASEAN debut in Singapore in August, the new Camry carries a 186 PS/221 Nm 2.5 litre Dynamic Force A25A-FXS four-cylinder engine, a 136 PS/208 Nm permanent magnet synchronous motor, a lithium-ion battery and an eCVT for a combined 230 PS and 1,250 km of range.
That bold front is what Toyota calls ‘Hammerhead’ styling, and we can see why. A slim upper grille and a wide lower grille creates a sophisticated and aggressive stance, while aerodynamic air curtains enhance handling stability and reduce turbulence. Rolling stock are 18-inch alloys wrapped in 235/45 Bridgestone Turanzas, and there’s a space-saver spare tyre.
Inside, you’ll find a two-section panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, a 12.3-inch 1,920 x 720 full-colour instrument panel and a head-up display. The steering wheel is power-adjustable for rake and reach, while the driver seat is eight-way power-adjustable and two-way lumbar, and has two memory settings.
You’ll also find nine JBL speakers (including subwoofer) and an amplifier, and there’s voice command as well, which Toyota calls Voice Agent (say Hey Toyota! or OK Toyota!). Also on are tri-zone auto air-con, 15W wireless charging, three USB-C ports, power-reclining rear seats (up to eight degrees), rear and side power sunshades, and of course, a ‘boss switch’ on the side of the front passenger seat.
In terms of safety, there’s seven airbags, panoramic view monitor and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which uses both a camera and millimetre-wave radar sensor. Included is AEB, ACC, lane departure alert, lane tracing assist, road sign assist, auto high beam, safe exit assist, blind spot monitor. You’ll also get a vehicle telematics system, front and rear dashcams and premium solar and security tint.
Available colours are Cement Grey, Platinum White Pearl, Attitude Black, Dark Blue Mica (+RM800), Precious Metal (+RM800), Emotional Red (+RM800). The 2025 Toyota Camry comes with a five-year unlimited mileage warranty and an eight-year unlimited mileage hybrid electric warranty covering the hybrid battery, inverter and power management control unit. Customers can extend the hybrid warranty to 10 years for an extra RM3,500.
