In short

The 2026 Toyota Camry in Malaysia is priced at RM 221,800 OTR for the 2.5V petrol and RM 250,354 OTR for the 2.5 HEV hybrid (Toyota Malaysia January 2026 price list, excluding insurance). Both are 9th-gen XV80 models, fully imported (CBU) from Toyota's Gateway plant in Chachoengsao, Thailand. The 2.5V uses a 204 PS naturally-aspirated A25A-FKS engine with an 8-speed automatic; the 2.5 HEV combines a 186 PS Atkinson engine with a 136 PS electric motor for 230 PS combined system output and 4.0 L/100km claimed consumption. Both come with a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, with the HEV adding an 8-year unlimited hybrid battery warranty.

Should you buy?

Yes, if

  • Klang Valley executives wanting D-segment comfort with proven hybrid running costs

    The 2.5 HEV at RM 250,354 OTR delivers 4.0 L/100km claimed consumption, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, 9-speaker JBL audio with subwoofer, and TSS 3.0 ADAS, backed by an 8-year unlimited mileage hybrid battery warranty and UMW Toyota's largest non-national service network

  • Buyers wanting D-segment space and a petrol drivetrain without the hybrid premium

    The 2.5V at RM 221,800 OTR keeps the same body, dual 12.3-inch displays, and TSS 3.0, drops only the panoramic sunroof and rear power-recline, and saves RM 28,554 versus the HEV. For highway-heavy buyers under 14,000 km/year, the petrol is the rational pick

Not if

  • Buyers wanting a turbocharged D-segment sedan at a lower OTR

    Honda Accord 2.0L e:HEV at RM 215,100 undercuts the Camry 2.5V by RM 6,700 with a fresher 11th-gen platform and Honda Sensing 360 (the latest Honda ADAS generation). For badge-neutral D-segment buyers, the Accord is the value pick

  • Buyers cross-shopping European prestige and willing to stretch budget

    Mercedes-Benz E 200 Avantgarde at RM 355,888 OTR adds badge, 48V mild-hybrid drivetrain, AMG Line styling option, and a more premium cabin, though for RM 105,534 more

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.

Toyota Camry Price List in Malaysia 2026

Full 2026 Toyota Camry Malaysia lineup with OTR prices for Peninsular Malaysia:

Pricing notes: The HEV launch price was RM 248,800 in December 2024; the Toyota Malaysia January 2026 price list now shows RM 250,354 OTR (selling price RM 247,533 plus SST).

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:

Camry 2.5 HEV: How the Hybrid Drivetrain Works

The 2.5 HEV uses Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system:

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:

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:

Accord wins on entry price (no petrol so the cheapest D-segment hybrid sedan), boot space, and ADAS generation. Camry wins on hybrid output, panoramic sunroof on HEV, Toyota resale strength, and the choice between petrol and hybrid powertrains. See the Honda Accord price guide for full details.

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

For buyers cross-shopping European prestige:

What the RM 105,534 premium buys: Mercedes badge, MBUX 2nd-gen infotainment, AMG Line styling option, 48V EQ Boost mild-hybrid drivetrain (1.5L turbo), 9G-TRONIC automatic, rear-wheel-drive chassis dynamics, and CKD warranty stack. What the Camry HEV retains for RM 105k less: hybrid efficiency (4.0 vs 5.5 L/100km), JBL audio, panoramic sunroof, 8-year hybrid battery warranty. For pure transport economics, the Camry; for prestige and brand recall, the E-Class.

Camry Resale and Running Cost Outlook

D-segment sedan resale in Malaysia has thinned since the 2010s as SUVs displaced the segment. Indicative retention:

Hybrid demand on the used market keeps the HEV firmer. The 8-year hybrid battery warranty (extendable to 10 years for RM 3,500) protects year 5-8 transactions. Running costs at 18,000 km/year:

Frequently asked questions

How much is a Toyota Camry in Malaysia in 2026?
RM 221,800 OTR for the 2.5V petrol and RM 250,354 OTR for the 2.5 HEV hybrid (Toyota Malaysia January 2026 price list). Both CBU Thailand, excluding insurance. The HEV launch price was RM 248,800 in December 2024; it moved to RM 250,354 by January 2026.
Is the Camry hybrid-only in Malaysia?
No. Unlike Singapore and the US (which dropped petrol for hybrid-only), Malaysia kept the 2.5V petrol. The 2.5 HEV launched 4 December 2024 at KLIMS; the 2.5V followed on 23 December 2024. The RM 28,554 gap between the two variants is the cost of the hybrid powertrain plus the higher equipment tier on the HEV (panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats).
Camry vs Honda Accord: which is better?
Honda Accord 2.0L e:HEV at RM 215,100 OTR undercuts the Camry 2.5V by RM 6,700 and the Camry HEV by RM 35,254. Accord is hybrid-only in Malaysia (no petrol variant), while Camry offers both. Camry wins on combined output (230 PS HEV vs 204 PS Accord), panoramic sunroof on HEV, and Toyota resale strength. Accord wins on price, Honda Sensing 360 ADAS depth, and boot space (537L vs 524L).
Camry vs Mazda 6: is the Mazda 6 still sold?
The Mazda 6 is being wound down globally. Japan production ended mid-2024; the model was pulled from the US (2021) and UK (2023). It's technically still on Mazda Malaysia's lineup but treated as run-out stock. There is no direct successor announced; Mazda is leaning on the CX-range and the upcoming Mazda 6e EV for ASEAN. For new D-segment sedan buyers in 2026, the Camry, Accord, and Mercedes E-Class are the realistic options.
Camry vs Mercedes-Benz E-Class entry?
The cheapest E-Class is the E 200 Avantgarde at RM 355,888 OTR (CKD Pekan), RM 105,534 more than the Camry HEV. The Camry HEV closes most of the equipment gap (panoramic roof, JBL audio, TSS 3.0 ADAS, ventilated seats) but loses on brand, MBUX infotainment, AMG Line option, and rear cabin space. For pure transport economics, the Camry. For European prestige and air suspension on selected variants, the E-Class.
How much is the monthly loan for a Toyota Camry?
At a 9-year hire purchase with 10% down and 3.20% flat rate (Maybank standard car rate), the 2.5V (RM 221,800) works out to around RM 2,512/month and the 2.5 HEV (RM 250,354) to around RM 2,836/month. At 7-year tenure: 2.5V around RM 3,090/month, HEV around RM 3,490/month. The HEV qualifies for green-financing 0.30-0.50% discount at Maybank, Hong Leong, CIMB, and Public Bank. Use the Toyota loan calculator.
Does the Camry hold its value in Malaysia?
D-segment sedan demand has thinned in the Malaysian market, so Camry resale is softer than a decade ago, but still beats most D-segment rivals. Expect 65-70% retention at 3 years and 50-55% at 5 years for the HEV; the 2.5V depreciates slightly faster because hybrid demand on the used market keeps growing. The 8-year hybrid battery warranty protects year 5-8 used transactions.
Why is the Camry CBU, not CKD?
D-segment sedan volumes in Malaysia have dropped below the threshold (around 5,000 units/year) that justifies retooling UMW Toyota's Bukit Raja line. The Camry sold under 1,500 units a year in 2023-2024, against Hilux at 25,000+ and Yaris Cross at 12,000+. CBU Thailand keeps UMW's hybrid CKD investment focused on Yaris Cross HEV and the upcoming Vios HEV instead. The Camry stays profitable as a CBU import because of its higher margin per unit.
