The cabin pictured here is about to become familiar to drivers and passengers everywhere—including, perhaps, you. The redesigned 2025 Toyota Camry's interior deserves as much attention as its newly standard hybrid powertrain. Toyota worked to make the Camry's interior space more comfortable, stylish, and user-friendly. We climbed inside the new sedan to assess those efforts, and this is what you need to know about the 2025 Toyota Camry's interior:
At the Los Angeles Auto Show where the Camry debuted, we explored models in sport-inspired XSE and comfort-oriented XLE specifications, each a step up from the basic SE and LE trim levels that shadow their nicer counterparts' sport- and comfort-themed missions. For the most part, the new Camry's cabin is unpretentiously styled and prioritizes functionality.
Although there's more visual appeal than in the outgoing Camry, the 2025 model retains a predictable, conventional layout. A horizontal strip bisects the digital upper and analog lower halves of the dashboard. Striated piano black trim on the passenger side is present on every Camry. A panel curving into the center console divides the driver and passenger areas, a bit like in the C8 Chevrolet Corvette—and similarly makes reaching controls slightly tricky for whoever's riding shotgun.
Ahead of the armrest, cupholders are connected by an open channel that continues into a rectangular bin beneath the dashboard. Toyota says this is to provide a continuous space for long items or cables to pass through. On both front door panels, pockets taper into a slot that's shaped suitably to hold documents or a wireless device.
As would be expected, tech takes a step up in the new Camry. All have five USB ports: one Type-A and two Type-C in the front row, and one each in the second row. A wireless charging pad is also standard, although its size and location in the center console could be tight for the largest smartphones. In the SE and LE grades, an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen is paired with a 7.0-inch gauge cluster display; both are larger than the 7.0- and 4.2-inch units used previously. Meanwhile, the XSE and XLE trims boast 12.3-inch displays for the infotainment and gauge cluster, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As before, a head-up display and JBL premium audio system are available.
In an era where basic functions are often relegated to fussy digital (on-screen) buttons, Toyota's decision to use many physical controls is a boon. There's a tried-and-true shift knob, and the steering wheel has big, easy-press buttons for driver-assist and vehicle controls.
The XLE and XSE cars we viewed had ventilated front seats, with those toggled to their multiple settings in the dashboard HVAC panel. Toyota was keen to point out that models without ventilated seats won't have blank buttons there, instead using a slightly larger LCD to fill that space. Indeed, there is some nice attention to detail in the Camry. Its air vent knobs have a knurled insert, and the upholstery in each of the up-range models we viewed looked rather premium.
In the XSE, black leather reveals a blue undertone within its geometric perforations. Other surfaces have a blue-gray hue, more interesting than plain black. A bold red and black theme (pictured above) is also offered on the XSE. Meanwhile, the XLE takes a calmer approach, as black or light gray upholstery combines leather with Dinamica faux suede. This version's dashboard and front door panels sport an intriguing embossed checkerboard-pattern fabric, as sage green stitching provides subtle contrast.
Another notable difference between the XSE and XLE models is felt between the front seats of each. The XSE has more pronounced bolstering and firmer padding, while the XLE's cushioning is comparatively open and plush.
In back, the bolstering extends outward to provide a comfortable cushion to lean on. Between the seats is a cushy fold-down armrest. Second-row air vents are standard across the Camry range (the Honda Accord has them only on high-end trims). An available panoramic sunroof adds to an open sensation, but its thick structural crossbar makes it less impressive than other glass roofs.
Final measurements are pending, but Toyota says there's minimal change in the 2025 Camry's interior volume and measurements from before. The new Camry is effectively a heavily refreshed version of the current model, with similar hard points, all but guaranteeing carryover cabin dimensions. That means headroom will measure about 38.3 inches up front and 38.0 inches in back, along with legroom of approximately 42.1 inches in the front row and 38.0 inches for rear passengers. Similarly, trunk space shouldn't change from the 15.1 cubic feet offered by the outgoing model.
Rather than revolution, Toyota made incremental—yet beneficial—improvements inside the new generation of Camry. With its longer list of standard amenities and tech, this Camry's cabin is more user-friendly. Simultaneously, interesting material touches subtly enhance appearances. Nothing about the 2025 Toyota Camry's interior verges on avant-garde, letting its many soon-to-be drivers enjoy the car's simplicity and hybrid fuel economy.
