2026 Toyota Camry Pricing & MPG: Best Value?ToyotaAfter switching to hybrid-only powertrains for the 2025 model year as part of a full redesign, the 2026 Toyota Camry lineup now blends the high fuel efficiency of Toyota's latest hybrid technology with the spacious cabin, comfort, durability, and affordability that have made the Camry a top choice among American sedan buyers for decades.Even better, despite the shift to hybrid-only motivation, the 2026 Camry has maintained the value proposition that has helped make it so popular. Prices start at just over $30,000, while its fuel economy can reach as high as 52 mpg thanks to that efficient hybrid powertrain. Here's a closer look at the Camry's pricing, fuel economy, and what buyers can expect from each trim level.ToyotaThe Most Efficient Camry You Can Buy Is Also the Most AffordableToyota offers the 2026 Camry in five trims: LE, SE, the new Nightshade, XLE, and XSE. While every model shares the same 2.5-liter four-cylinder and two-motor hybrid powertrain, fuel economy varies depending on wheel size and whether the vehicle is equipped with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (via a third motor in back).AdvertisementAdvertisementBuyers looking to maximize efficiency will want the LE with front-wheel drive. It's the most fuel-efficient Camry in the lineup, earning EPA ratings of 52/49/51 mpg city/highway/combined. Those figures make it one of the most efficient non-plug-in midsize sedans currently on sale.As the entry-level model, the LE is also the most affordable 2026 Toyota Camry, with a starting price of $30,595. While it doesn't offer the same upscale touches as the range-topping XLE, the LE comes well equipped from the factory. Standard features include 16-inch alloy wheels, push-button start, five USB ports, a wireless charging pad, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen running Toyota's latest infotainment system.2026 Toyota Camry SE TrimToyotaSafety is another strong selling point. Every Camry comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, the automaker's suite of driver assists. It includes features such as a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and lane keep assist, among other active safety systems designed to make everyday driving safer and less stressful.All told, the LE is aimed at buyers who want to keep their costs down without giving up the qualities that have made the Camry so popular for decades. It offers an appealing combination of reliability, efficiency, and value, making it an attractive option for commuters, families, and anyone looking for dependable transportation.2026 Toyota Camry XSE TrimToyotaWhat About the Rest of the Camry Trims?At the other end of the lineup sits the XSE, the most expensive and least fuel-efficient model of the 2026 Toyota Camry lineup. Designed for buyers who want a sportier look and a more engaging driving experience, the XSE trades a bit of efficiency for larger wheels and a more performance-oriented setup.AdvertisementAdvertisementPower still comes from the same hybridized 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 225 hp in front-wheel-drive models and 232 hp when equipped with all-wheel drive. Fuel economy, however, takes a hit. All-wheel-drive XSE models are rated at 43/43/43 mpg city/highway/combined, while front-wheel-drive versions fare a bit better at 47/45/46 mpg.2026 Toyota Camry XSE Trim InteriorToyotaWhile those figures trail the more efficient Camry models, they remain impressive for a midsize sedan with sporty aspirations. More important, the XSE still delivers fuel economy that many hybrid competitors simply can't match, proving that buyers don't have to sacrifice efficiency to get a more stylish and engaging Camry.As expected, the XSE AWD is also the most expensive Camry in the lineup, with prices starting at $38,520. It's undeniably well equipped, but it doesn't deliver the same value-focused proposition as the LE. Instead, the XSE is aimed at buyers who are willing to spend more on additional technology, premium features, and a sportier appearance.One of its biggest advantages is its tech-forward cabin. The XSE comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a matching 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, giving the interior a more modern and upscale feel than the lower trims.2026 Toyota Camry SE Trim InteriorToyotaCombined with its upgraded materials and additional features, the XSE offers a more premium take on the Camry formula, even if it comes at the expense of both affordability and fuel economy. The SE, Nightshade with its blacked-out trim, and XLE all fall between the LE and XSE in price and amenities, allowing buyers to find a middle ground to their liking.Below is a quick look at every 2026 Camry's price and fuel economy:
