【PCauto】The official images of the 2026 Toyota Camry have been released, and the standout feature is the addition of the new Nightshade Edition.
This version boasts a distinctive darkened design, featuring a midnight black metallic finish on elements, including the front grille, exterior mirrors, door handles, front and rear badges, a sporty ducktail spoiler, and a shark fin antenna, creating a strong sense of sportiness and mystery. Paired with 19-inch black wheels, the overall visual impact of the vehicle is significantly enhanced.
Stepping inside, the 2026 Camry is also impressive. The Nightshade Edition features a blacked-out interior with a "Black Knight" style, where black SofTex seats are accented with white stitching for an elegant touch. Additionally, the inclusion of metal pedal covers, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and paddle shifters further elevates the driving experience and quality.
In terms of powertrain, the entire 2026 Camry lineup is equipped with Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system, combining a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine with an electric motor. The front-wheel-drive models boast a combined output of 225 horsepower, while the all-wheel-drive versions add an electric motor on the rear axle, bringing the total power to 232 horsepower, paired with an E-CVT transmission.
This hybrid system delivers a more linear power output and exceptional acceleration, along with a significant improvement in fuel efficiency. Official data indicate that the front-wheel-drive version achieves just 4.9 liters per 100 kilometers.
Additionally, the application of an electronic on-demand all-wheel-drive (AWD) system allows the 2026 Camry to handle complex road conditions with ease. Compared to mechanical AWD, this system increases power by 30 horsepower and can precisely distribute torque between the front and rear wheels based on road conditions, enhancing the vehicle's handling and stability.
In terms of safety, the 2026 Camry comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 advanced driver assistance system, which includes features such as pre-collision pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, automatic high beams, and road sign recognition to effectively prevent traffic accidents. The vehicle is also equipped with seven airbags and a tire pressure monitoring system, providing comprehensive safety for all occupants.
Moreover, higher trim levels offer an optional Premium Plus Package that includes additional driving assist features, such as traffic jam assist and front cross traffic alert, further enhancing driving safety and convenience.
The 2026 Toyota Camry is expected to go on sale in the U.S. this fall, though pricing details have yet to be announced.

Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?
The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
BYD discloses four patents for variable flux permanent magnet synchronous motors, addressing the efficiency conflict of motors at high and low speeds in automobiles
Traditional permanent magnet synchronous motors can provide strong torque at low speeds, but on highways, the fixed rotor magnetic flux leads to increased back electromotive force, causing a sharp drop in efficiency. This long-standing contradiction in the industry has now found a new solution with the announcement of BYD's latest technology patent.
