They are doing the Civic hatchback too, nice. Been seeing more of those on the road and I quite like the look of their rear.
Huh? The hybrid Camry wasn't available in the US?
I swear I've seen them in Canada.......but maybe I'm thinking of something else

As a clarification, the Camry will now be hybrid-only in the U.S. with no ICE trims going forward
My thread title wasn't clear enough :x
No they are.
But now it's the ONLY option. There's no longer going to be a pure ICE Camry
Oh ok
That's good, I'd love to have a hybrid car but my current Camry is gonna last a long time
A good step towards less emissions, but I wish they'd make Corolla or Camry EVs. But the current Toyota chairman seems to prefer hybrids and doesn't see ICE going away.
2024 Camry hybrid has a starting MSRP of $28,855. I imagine the 2025 model will be around there, maybe $30k.
If honda's ev options don't mature by the next time I need a car I will go for the hybrid civic.
The only issue I see with hybrid cars is the second hand market. Replacing the batteries can be expensive so the days of getting a well maintained Toyota/Honda for cheap at 100k miles and still getting another 100k miles without major repairs are likely going to be a thing of the past.
Issue I have with older EVs as well but these will be a fraction of the cost to replace. Aged lithium batteries are a money timebomb for second hand owners whether hybrid $, plug-in hybrid $$, full electric $$$$.
nice. I wish the hybrid civic had been out when I needed a car last year. Would've been perfect for my 40mile commute.
No. They can't even keep up with the demand for their plugin hybrids now. If they switched to only plug in hybrids they would produce a few thousand Camry's a year.
Aah damn. Well cool that they're doing anything, but I'm more interested in plugin so hopefully they can get more out the door in the future.
While I know that the current Civic is much larger and more premium than my 08, I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around being in such a better place in my life than I was when I got it 13 years ago but somehow another Civic is firmly in the range of what I should be spending on a car. The internal keeping up with the joneses is bad but hard to overcome!
Oh man I'd love a hybrid Camry. It would be my 4th Camry in a line of only Camrys. I think at this point I should just keep the Camry combo up until I can't drive anymore. Then I could say the Camry drove me til the wheels fell off!
For some of those years (2019-2022 model years according to Wikipedia) Honda sold the third-generation Insight. It looks a lot like a Civic and shares some of the same features. They probably didn't need two very similar cars and are moving from the Insight to the Civic hybrid name.
Love our 2016 Civic. I want our next car to be a plug in hybrid civic hatchback (or a full EV civic) so this is one step closer.
So tempted to trade in my 2019 Civic Hatch toward the new hybrid one. Would need to run some math to see how much money gas savings would potentially be... plus I have to consider the high likelihood of dealer markups on the price too. :/
EDIT: Saw the UK Autotrader review of the Civic Hybrid last year and been kinda hoping it would come stateside ever since.

Love my 2022 Civic Hatchback and would certainly consider trading for a Hybrid, though I don't use much gas.
I had my eye on the Hyundai Sonata as the 2024 version looks fantastic, but I have a Civic and I would definitely buy another.
But also I will probably hold on to my Civic until it falls apart because car prices frighten me lol. And it definitely has at least another 7 good years.
