2026 Toyota Camry Officially Revealed for Indian Market
Toyota Kirloskar Motor has pulled the covers off the 2026 Toyota Camry in India, bringing the ninth-generation premium sedan with sharper styling and enhanced hybrid efficiency.
The executive sedan segment gets a major upgrade as the 2026 Toyota Camry adopts Toyota’s global design language while retaining its strong-hybrid powertrain tailored for Indian conditions.
Deliveries are expected to commence from March 2026, with bookings already open across dealerships.
Prices Start at ₹47.48 Lakh (ex-showroom)
The 2026 Toyota Camry is offered in a single fully-loaded variant strategy post GST reductions on hybrids.

| Camry Hybrid Sprint Edition (if available) | ₹47.62 Lakh | ₹54.02 Lakh | ₹56.10 Lakh |
Prices have dropped by up to ₹1.02 lakh thanks to lower GST on hybrids, making it more competitive against Skoda Superb and upcoming rivals.
Powerful Engine and Class-Leading Mileage
The 2026 Toyota Camry continues with the proven 2.5L Dynamic Force petrol engine paired with 5th-generation Toyota Hybrid System.
Combined output stands at 227 bhp with 221 Nm torque, mated to an e-CVT gearbox.
ARAI-certified mileage is an impressive 25.49 kmpl – best-in-class for any D2-segment sedan in India.

Why It Matters
In a market shifting rapidly toward electrification, the 2026 Toyota Camry reinforces Toyota’s hybrid dominance without forcing buyers into full EVs. With diesel options vanishing from the segment, its 25+ kmpl efficiency directly challenges rising fuel costs.
Expected Impact in Indian Market
The refreshed 2026 Toyota Camry is poised to consolidate its 90%+ share in the premium hybrid sedan space. Annual volumes could cross 3,000 units (up from ~2,200 currently), especially with GST benefits. It will pressure Skoda to sharpen Superb pricing while keeping BYD Seal at bay in the luxury EV transition phase.
Buyer Perspective
For corporate buyers and self-driven owners in Delhi, Mumbai or Bengaluru, the 2026 Toyota Camry finally feels modern yet retains bullet-proof reliability and resale value. At ₹53-56 lakh on-road, it offers superb value against German rivals costing ₹15-20 lakh more for similar space and features. Low running cost (under ₹4/km) and zero compromise on rear-seat luxury make it the smartest chauffeur-driven or family luxury sedan under ₹60 lakh.
