My esteemed colleague Ian Wright wrote a piece on why the all-new 2025 Toyota Camry is the most important car on the planet right now. A few months later, it was named our car of the year. His opinion piece is well worth reading, but the main focus is on the new Camry only being available as a hybrid. Despite being a leader in the hybrid space for nearly 30 years, this is a big move for Toyota. By making the top-selling Camry only available as a hybrid, Toyota is effectively stating that its technology is now so good that it’s willing to put its global reputation for affordability and reliability at risk.
