Is there a Toyota Camry with a turbo?

In brief, there isn’t a turbocharged Camry offered in the U.S. market as of the 2024–2025 model years. The Camry lineup relies on naturally aspirated gasoline engines and hybrid powertrains, with a 3.5-liter V6 available in higher trims, but no factory turbo option. Some overseas variants have explored turbocharged setups, but they are not part of the North American lineup.


Current Camry engine lineup in North America


Below is a concise look at the gasoline and hybrid powertrains available for the Camry in the United States today. The lists distinguish between traditional gasoline engines and hybrid systems.


Gasoline engines



  • 2.5-liter Dynamic Force inline-4 gasoline engine — approximately 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque; paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission; available across most non-hybrid trims.

  • 3.5-liter V6 — about 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque; paired with an 8-speed automatic; available in higher trims (XLE, XSE, and certain variants).


In summary, the Camry’s gasoline lineup uses a naturally aspirated four-cylinder or a naturally aspirated V6, with no turbocharged option in the current North American lineup.


Hybrid powertrains



  • 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle inline-4 paired with electric motors — about 208 horsepower system output; uses a hybrid system with an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT); emphasizes efficiency across several trims (LE, SE, XLE, XSE).


The Camry Hybrid blends gasoline and electric propulsion, delivering higher efficiency without a turbocharger.


Market notes


While the U.S. lineup does not include a turbo Camry, some overseas markets and special editions have experimented with turbocharged engines in Camry variants. Those configurations are not part of the standard North American offerings and are relatively uncommon.


What this means for buyers seeking turbo performance


For buyers specifically seeking a turbocharged Camry, the current U.S. lineup does not provide one. If turbo power is a priority, shoppers typically consider other Toyota models, or they may explore aftermarket routes (which carry their own risks and void warranties). The closest factory-performance options in the Camry lineup remain the naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 or the sport-oriented but non-turbo TRD variants.


Summary


The Toyota Camry, in the United States through 2024–2025, does not offer a turbocharged engine. The standard options are a 2.5-liter inline-4, a 3.5-liter V6, and a 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain delivering a combined ~208 horsepower. While turbo Camrys exist in some non-U.S. markets or special configurations, they are not part of the current North American lineup. For turbo enthusiasts, alternatives within Toyota’s broader road-car lineup or future announcements would be the path forward.

Do Toyota Camrys have turbos?


No, most Toyota Camry models do not come with a factory-installed turbocharger, as the primary engine options have historically been naturally aspirated 4-cylinder or V6 engines. However, some specific models, like certain hybrid versions, use a combination of a turbocharged engine and an electric motor for power. Additionally, third-party turbo kits are available for owners who wish to add a turbo to their Camry aftermarket. 

  • Standard engines: The standard engine is a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine, not a turbocharged one. 
  • Hybrid powertrain: Some Camry models, particularly the hybrid versions, use a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine in conjunction with an electric motor. 
  • Aftermarket options: While not a factory option, there are aftermarket turbocharger kits available for both 4-cylinder and V6 engines that can be installed by customers. 



Which Camry has the most horsepower?


The highest horsepower Camry was the 2021 and earlier Camry TRD, which had a 3.5L V6 engine producing 301 horsepower. For the current generation (2025 and beyond), the most powerful model is the 2025 Camry, with a hybrid powertrain offering a maximum of 232 horsepower for all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions.
