Electric cars are slowly but surely becoming more affordable and, in some cases, cheaper than gas-powered alternatives. This holds especially true when it comes to leasing, where we’ve seen several deals where an EV made its combustion counterparts irrelevant from a pricing standpoint, such as the Chevrolet Blazer EV, which is cheaper to lease than the mechanically unrelated Blazer. Now, it’s time for the popular Toyota Camry to be dethroned by the Tesla Model 3, at least price-wise.

Sedans might not be the hottest items in the automotive space right now, but when the best-selling midsize four-door gets a complete makeover and goes hybrid-only, it says a lot about the company making the vehicle and its future buyers. The 2025 Toyota Camry ditches its predecessor’s four- and six-cylinder engines and is only offered with a hybrid powertrain that delivers better power (and way better fuel economy) than the old entry-level engine, for not much more money than what competitors charge for their non-hybrid models.
