The Toyota Camry is the 9th-generation XV80 D-segment sedan, sold in Malaysia as both the 2.5V petrol at RM 221,800 OTR and the 2.5 HEV hybrid at RM 250,354 OTR (Toyota Malaysia January 2026 price list, excluding insurance). Both variants are fully imported (CBU) from Toyota's Gateway plant in Chachoengsao, Thailand, the regional D-segment manufacturing hub for ASEAN. The 9th-gen launched globally in 2024 and reached Malaysia in two stages: the HEV at KLIMS on 4 December 2024, followed by the 2.5V on 23 December 2024. Both come with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 ADAS, dual 12.3-inch displays, a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, and an 8-year hybrid battery warranty on the HEV.

What Changed With the 9th-Gen XV80 Camry?
The XV80 launched globally in 2024 as a refresh of the GA-K TNGA platform from the XV70 rather than a clean-sheet redesign:
- Platform: GA-K TNGA carryover, same wheelbase (2,825 mm) and overall length (4,920 mm) as XV70
- Front styling: new "hammerhead" grille and headlight design borrowed from the Prius and Crown families
- Rear styling: redesigned LED tail-light bar and bumper
- Interior: 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 9-speaker JBL audio system with subwoofer on HEV
- Repositioning: globally, Toyota dropped the petrol-only V6 variants in most markets and made the 9th-gen hybrid-led; Malaysia kept the 2.5V petrol
- ADAS: Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 standard on both variants (PCS with intersection turn detection, DRCC, LDA, LTA, AHB, RSA, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert)
Camry 2.5 HEV: How the Hybrid Drivetrain Works
The 2.5 HEV uses Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system:
- Engine: 2.5L A25A-FXS Atkinson-cycle inline-four, 186 PS / 221 Nm
- Electric motor: 1VM permanent-magnet synchronous, 136 PS / 208 Nm
- Combined system output: 230 PS
- Transmission: e-CVT (planetary gearset, no traditional clutch)
- Battery: Lithium-ion, located under rear seat (no boot intrusion)
- Fuel consumption: 4.0 L/100km claimed; real-world 4.8-5.2 L/100km
- Range: approximately 1,250 km combined cycle (50L tank x 25 km/L)
- 0-100 km/h: 7.2 seconds
- Top speed: 180 km/h (electronically limited)
- Drive modes: Sport, Normal, Econ, EV
The HEV fuel tank is 50 litres (smaller than the 2.5V's 60-litre tank because the battery package takes underfloor space). The hybrid battery is warranted for 8 years or unlimited mileage with a 70% capacity retention guarantee, and the warranty can be extended to 10 years for RM 3,500.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 and Standard Equipment
Both variants ship with the same TSS 3.0 ADAS suite:
- Pre-Collision System (PCS) with pedestrian, cyclist, and motorcyclist detection
- Pre-Collision System with Intersection Turn detection (new in TSS 3.0)
- Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) with full-speed range
- Lane Departure Alert (LDA) with steering assist
- Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)
- Automatic High Beam (AHB)
- Road Sign Assist (RSA)
- Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
- Front and Rear Parking Sensors with auto-brake
HEV-only additions: panoramic sunroof, rear power-recline seats, ventilated front seats, JBL 9-speaker audio with subwoofer, head-up display, digital rear-view mirror. The 2.5V drops these items but keeps the dual 12.3-inch screens, TSS 3.0, wireless CarPlay, and the same exterior styling.
Camry vs Honda Accord: Turbo Sedan vs Hybrid Sedan
The D-segment Japanese head-to-head:
- Price: Camry 2.5V RM 221,800 / Camry HEV RM 250,354 vs Accord 2.0L e:HEV RM 215,100
- Powertrain: Camry 2.5V (204 PS petrol) / Camry HEV (230 PS combined hybrid) vs Accord (204 PS combined hybrid)
- Boot: Camry 524L vs Accord 537L (Accord wins by 13L)
- ADAS: Camry TSS 3.0 vs Accord Honda Sensing 360 (Accord is the latest Honda ADAS generation)
- Hybrid premium: Camry RM 28,554 (HEV vs 2.5V); Accord has no petrol variant
- Resale 3-year: Camry HEV 65-70% vs Accord 55-60%

Camry vs Mercedes-Benz E-Class Entry: Where Does Prestige Tax Start?

- Mercedes-Benz E 200 Avantgarde: RM 355,888 (CKD Pekan)
