The headline addition is the new Nightshade Edition, slotting between the SE and XLE with a blacked-out exterior and unique 19-inch satin black wheels. Toyota also added a new color, Dark Cosmos, and refined the SE and XSE's suspension tuning slightly. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 remains standard across the lineup.

Yes. Every 2026 Camry trim, LE through XSE, runs the same 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid system — there's no gas-only version anymore. That shift happened with the 2025 redesign and carries into 2026.

FWD is standard, makes 225 hp, and gets the best fuel economy in the lineup. AWD is available on every trim for about $1,525 more, adds a third electric motor to the rear axle, bumps output to 232 hp, and trades a bit of mpg for real foul-weather traction. If you see genuine winter weather or want extra confidence in the rain, AWD is worth it; otherwise FWD is the more efficient, less expensive choice.

The Nightshade builds on the SE's sport-tuned suspension and adds a comprehensive blacked-out look — gloss-black grille, door handles, mirror caps, and spoiler, plus unique 19-inch satin black wheels instead of the SE's 18-inch wheels. It's mostly a styling upgrade for about $1,000 more than the SE.

The 2026 Camry earned a Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS — the organization's highest distinction, one tier above the Accord's Top Safety Pick rating. Every trim includes Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 standard: forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, and dynamic radar cruise control.

After you buy your Camry from Nalley, online or in person, you have 7 days or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first, to return it, no questions asked. Separately, you also get a 30-day window to exchange it for a different vehicle. See nalleycars.com for full terms.

Every 2026 Camry is a hybrid, so the electric motor and regenerative braking are working in stop-and-go on I-285, GA-400, or the Downtown Connector regardless of which trim you buy. That's a big part of why even the least efficient XSE AWD still returns 43 mpg combined, and the LE FWD reaches up to 51 mpg combined — both well ahead of a typical gas-only midsize sedan in the same traffic.

The Camry's dual-zone automatic climate control includes cabin air filtration designed to help manage pollen, dust, and other particulates — relevant during Georgia's brutal February-through-May pollen stretch. If cabin air quality is a priority, confirm the specific filtration equipment on your trim with a Nalley advisor before you buy.

This is where the Camry's optional AWD genuinely earns its keep. On curvy paved routes — Highway 60 through the Chattahoochee National Forest, the Richard Russell Scenic Highway — an AWD Camry, especially the sport-tuned SE, Nightshade, or XSE, offers real confidence, and meaningfully more margin than the Accord, which doesn't offer AWD at all. It's still a sedan, not an off-roader, so gravel forest roads are outside its comfort zone.

Cobb Parkway's stoplight-to-stoplight retail traffic is exactly the stop-and-restart driving the Camry's hybrid system and regenerative braking are built for. Heading toward Truist Park and the Battery on a game day, the Camry's 15.1-cubic-foot trunk handles tailgate gear reasonably well, though it trails the Accord's 16.7 cubic feet in that specific comparison.

A run down I-16 to Savannah is almost entirely highway miles, and the Camry LE FWD's 49 mpg highway rating is among the best in the segment for that kind of drive. Dynamic radar cruise control comes standard through Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 on every trim, which takes real fatigue out of a four-plus-hour drive.
