If the Toyota Camry were a rock band, it would be the one that fills stadiums without ever worrying about the latest trends. In 2026, this iconic model continues to resonate with its riffs, offering an enticing leasing deal and an irresistible blend of style, performance, and technology. Get ready to embark on a journey that could redefine your perception of the mid-size sedan.
Leasing offers that stand out
This month, Toyota hits hard with leasing offers for three versions of the Camry: LE, SE, and XSE. Imagine being behind the wheel of a car that knows how to make a statement while remaining accessible. For the base LE model, the lease is set at $299 per month for 39 months, a slight step back from the previous offer of 36 months. This price is based on a down payment of $2,999, excluding taxes and fees, but who cares about those details when you already feel like a rockstar on the road?
For those looking to raise the adrenaline, the sporty SE and XSE versions are available for $329 and $419 per month, respectively. No matter your choice, all contracts include 10,000 miles per year, with a slight additional charge of $0.15 per extra mile. But beware, this offer is not universal; it is only valid in California. So before you whip out your pen to sign, be sure to check the local offers. After all, it would be a shame to miss the performance of your life.
Performance and features that impress
The 2026 Toyota Camry is not just a pretty body. It comes equipped with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder hybrid engine that produces between 225 and 232 horsepower depending on whether it’s front-wheel or all-wheel drive. To give a clearer idea, that’s like having a little tiger under the hood ready to pounce with every acceleration. With an impressive fuel consumption of up to 4.6 L/100 km (51 mpg), the Camry proves that you can combine driving pleasure and energy efficiency without compromise.
The entry-level LE model offers a seven-inch dashboard, fabric seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an eight-inch touchscreen. It’s like having a support group in your car: everything is there to ensure your optimal comfort. But if you aspire to more luxury, the higher trims offer heated and power-adjustable front seats, as well as SofTex that mimics leather and a larger touchscreen. Who said elegance was reserved for limousines?
Final thoughts: a star that still shines
For just $299 per month, the 2026 Camry remains hard to beat in the mid-size sedan world. Its main competitor, the Kia K5, offers leasing starting at $289 per month for a duration of 36 months. Yet, with its modest 191 horsepower, the K5 is like a poorly tuned guitar compared to the perfect harmony represented by the power and efficiency of the Camry. In our personal experience behind the wheel of the various trims, we found that Toyota has managed to democratise hybrid technology in this segment without sacrificing quality or enjoyment.
In short, even if you opt for the LE model, rest assured that you won’t feel short-changed. The Toyota Camry has managed to reinvent itself while retaining its rock’n’roll soul. A remarkable performance for a sedan that continues to win hearts and roads.
