Which Camry has the most horsepower?
In the current Camry lineup, the most horsepower comes from the 3.5-liter V6 engine, which delivers 301 horsepower. This peak output is available in the V6-equipped trims and in the performance-oriented TRD model, making it the horsepower king of the Camry family as of 2024-25.
Powertrain options and horsepower: A quick map
To understand where that 301-horsepower figure sits, note that Camry offers three main powertrain paths: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, a hybrid system that combines the same 2.5-liter engine with electric motors, and the 3.5-liter V6. Here's how horsepower stacks up across these configurations.
How the numbers compare across powertrains
- The 3.5-liter V6 engine (found in most top trims) — 301 hp and about 267 lb-ft of torque. This is the ceiling for Camry horsepower.
- The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (non-hybrid) — 203 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque.
- The Hybrid system (2.5-liter engine plus electric motors) — 208 hp combined.
Note: Horsepower figures can vary slightly by model year and market, but 301 hp remains the peak in the Camry lineup as of 2024-25.
Why horsepower matters to Camry buyers
Choosing between power and efficiency depends on your priorities. If you want the briskest acceleration, the V6 Camry delivers the strongest performance. If daily driving efficiency is paramount, the hybrid option offers a compelling balance of power and fuel economy. The standard four-cylinder keeps costs and fuel use down, but cannot match the V6's 301 hp.
Summary
The Camry's most horsepower comes from the 3.5-liter V6, delivering 301 horsepower in V6-equipped trims and the TRD variant. The non-hybrid four-cylinder tops out around 203 hp, while the hybrid system provides 208 hp combined. For buyers, that means there’s a Camry for those who want a quick sedan and those who prioritize efficiency.
