The Toyota Camry has been the best-selling passenger car in the U.S. for the last 23 years. The Camry’s exploits aren’t exclusive to the U.S., with the nameplate recognized around the world for its reliability, fuel efficiency, strong residual value, and comfort.
One detail that differentiates the U.S.-spec model from its global counterparts is the absence of the exclusive “Precious Bronze” exterior shade. During our recent test drive of the 2025 Camry Hybrid in Dubai, the Precious Bronze color stood out, blending with the region’s expansive sand dunes, desert landscape, and sprawling cityscape at dawn and dusk.
We felt that this color brings out the Camry’s body lines and surfacing better than the flatter colors. It presents a premium image, settling in nicely with the golden hues of its environment, with a kind of visual depth you’d expect to see at a Lexus dealership. While combinations of white, gray, silver and black are popular among U.S. shoppers, this shade of bronze could appeal particularly to customers seeking understated luxury.
The U.S.-spec 2026 Toyota Camry has just been announced, and will reach U.S. dealer showrooms in this fall. Aside from the new Nightshade Edition (based on the LE trim) and the Dark Cosmos color, everything else carries over. Pricing will be revealed closer to launch.
It continues with the 2.5-liter fifth-generation hybrid system achieving up to an impressive manufacturer-estimated 51 MPG combined. Toyota Audio Multimedia infotainment system, a fully digital instrument cluster, Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging, USB Type-C ports, a 360-degree camera system, and enhanced comfort options like an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory function round up the features.
