Stock 2018 Toyota Camry models will employ an all-new 2.5-liter four-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine that puts a focus on higher power, higher torque and improved fuel economy. Paired with a Direct-Shift eight-speed automatic transmission, the four-cylinder Toyota Camry is expected to achieve best-in-class fuel-economy ratings. The revamped 2.5-liter Dynamic Force Engine serves as the foundation of the Toyota Camry Hybrid as well, pairing with a high-torque electric motor and a continuously variable transmission to achieve exemplary fuel economy.
Next up in the Toyota Camry engine lineup, you will find an upgraded 3.5-liter V-6 engine that employs Toyota D-4S direct and port fuel injection to amplify power.
