I spent a full week behind the wheel of the 2025 Toyota Camry GLE Hybrid in Dubai, and let me tell you, it’s a comfy, premium sedan with a lot to like. The vehicle I am driving is in Precious Bronze color.
The instant torque from the hybrid makes acceleration snappy, though as a front-wheel drive, cornering’s decent but not thrilling.
I think Toyota has got it right with the Camry. A fuel efficient engine with an EV component that delivers power and range both. Range anxiety is real and I think that is what will drive people towards hybrid electric vehicles.
The 2025 Toyota Camry GLE has got Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, and a six-speaker audio system that’s good, if not mind-blowing.
The ride is enjoyable, there is no engine or road noise but the wind noise creeps in, hinting at so-so cabin insulation. A slight adjustment is much needed. It also has a panoramic sunroof. Which is a nice touch, but maybe an overkill in Dubai’s sun.
Safety’s on point with adaptive cruise control, brake hold, ABS, a rearview camera, and blind spot monitoring.
I’m digging the Camry GLE’s smooth ride and tech. If you are looking for a reliable sedan with all the modern features, this is it.

Fuel Economy
Fuel economy’s solid. It was advertised at 27.1 kilometers per liter, I managed 14.5 in real-world driving, with a 50-liter tank giving good range. I did the school run in slow moving traffic (the car was pretty much on the EV mode) and the mid-night long drive outside of Dubai for some star-gazing near Bab al Shams.I think Toyota has got it right with the Camry.
