What is the cheapest Camry model?
The cheapest Camry model is the Camry L, the base non-hybrid trim in Toyota's midsize sedan lineup. Its MSRP starts in the high $20,000s before destination charges, with the exact price varying by model year and region.
In the current generation, Toyota offers Camry trims from L to XSE, plus hybrid variants. The L sits at the entry point of the lineup, while higher trims add features and options that push the price up. Buyers should also factor in destination charges and local taxes when comparing out-the-door costs.
Current cheapest trim and pricing
The following overview explains why the base Camry L remains the most affordable entry point and what to expect in terms of pricing and features for the 2025 model year.
What you get with the base Camry L
- Base, non-hybrid Camry L configuration with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and CVT
- Front-wheel drive as standard; all-wheel drive is not offered on this trim in most markets
- Standard Toyota Safety Sense driver-assistance features
- Cloth upholstery and a simplified interior compared with higher trims
- Availability of option packages and add-ons that can raise the price
Note: Exact features can vary by model year and market; always check the current spec sheet for your area when shopping.
Bottom line: The Camry L is the entry point for a brand-new Camry, designed for buyers who want the lowest available price and a straightforward setup. If you’re aiming for a hybrid, expect the Hybrid LE to cost more than the non-hybrid base.
Hybrid note: The cheapest Camry Hybrid option is normally the Hybrid LE, which carries a higher starting price due to the hybrid powertrain but can offer better fuel economy over time. If fuel efficiency is a priority, compare the total cost of ownership between the base L and the Hybrid LE.
Shopping tips for price-conscious buyers
