The seventh-generation Toyota Camry is the first generation in which the Camry has been available as a gasoline/electric hybrid. The Camry Hybrid utilizes Toyota’s second generation Hybrid Synergy Drive and contains a 4-cylinder engine in conjunction with a 40 HP electric motor. The Camry is currently the third Toyota model to be offered as a hybrid, the others being the Toyota Prius and the Toyota Highlander.

Camry Hybrids were initially built solely in Japan. The majority of production, however, has since shifted to Toyota’s Georgetown, Kentucky plant, which is projected to produce 45,000 of the vehicles per year.[citation needed].

EPA fuel economy estimates for the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid are 40 MPG (City) and 38 MPG (Highway). EPA’s revised method of estimating fuel economy for 2008 and subsequent model years, which now considers the effects of air conditioning, rapid acceleration and cold temperatures, estimates 33 MPG (City) and 34 MPG (Highway).

The seventh generation Camry went on sale in Australia and New Zealand on August 20, 2006. For the first time in 18 years, it is marketed in those countries as a four cylinder model only. The simplified model range consists of the 'Altise', 'Sportivo', 'Ateva', and 'Grande' (in ascending order in terms of price). The Grande model was the first Australian-made Camry to be fitted with rain-sensing wipers, stability control, traction control and Bluetooth connectivity.[citation needed] Stability control was not available across the range until August 2007, where it became standard on all variants. In May 2008, the Grande variant received a change in specifications to the same set of alloy wheels as the 'Sportivo' variant, as opposed to the 'Grande' variant previously.

Although Camry models are only offered with four cylinder engines, the Toyota Aurion, which has side windows, door panels, windscreen and roof panels identical to those in the Camry, is offered with V6 engines.

Toyota Australia produces the Camry for both domestic and export markets such as the UAE and the Middle East in Altona, Victoria. There have plans to negotiate a deal with Toyota to begin the manufacture of right hand drive Toyota Camry hybrids at Altona.

The Toyota Camry, as of 2008, is Australia's best selling locally made vehicle, when taking into account all sales, both domestic and exports.

Toyota Camrys are produced at Georgetown, Kentucky, USA, Aichi, Japan, Melbourne, Australia, and in China (for the Chinese market only). The Camry sold in China shares the front and rear design used for the Australian 6 cylinder 'Aurion'.

On 20 April 2007, Camry manufacturing began at Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. in Lafayette, Indiana USA, with intended production of about 100,000 units per year.

A Camry manufactured in Japan is denoted with a VIN starting with "J", as well as a small hatch on the passenger's side of the front bumper containing equipment that is compatible with Japanese towing systems; US-made models are denoted with a VIN starting with "4".
