I’m 18 and I want to get toyota camry but I don’t know the difference between those two. Is it expensive? If is too much to afford then I will just search for something else. But I want a toyota or infinit model.

if you pop open the hood and it says hybrid….seriously, that’s what you have to do, unless you know how to read VIN numbers and decode them.
if you know the VIN number of the car you want to buy…go online and search under VIN decoders. then look under engine specs.
There are a few ways to tell the difference without looking at the VIN# and/or opening the Hood.
First, from the front, the grille is chrome - the whole grille is chrome. The only other Camry model that has any chrome on the grille is the XLE model and it is only a chrome surrounding the grille.
Second, on the side there are Hybrid badges on the front fenders just in front of the front doors.
From the rear, the taillights are different. In all of the other models, the taillights are red and white, with the part on the trunk lid being red. On the Hybrid models, the tail light portion on the trunk lid is white/clear as well. If you look on the rear deck behind the rear seats, there is a rather large vent that stands up over the rear deck. This is the vent to cool the hybrid batteries and is only found on the Hybrid models.
As for cost, there is a cost premium of between $0 and $5000 depending on what model you’re comparing the hybrid to. The reason I say this is that if you’re looking at a fully equipped Hybrid with navigation and leather with moonroof, it is actually a few hundred dollars less than a comparibly equipped XLE V6 Camry. Even on the more basic model of the Hybrid, the most comparible model is the more basic V6 XLE as well and there is only about a $1500 premium for the Hybrid.
However, most people compare the Hybrid to the 4cyl LE model in which case there is about a $5000 premium. It really isn’t a fair comarison though as you get quite a bit more equipment on the Hybrid that isn’t available on the LE such as the Smart-key start and entry, Climate control and performance more comparible to the V6 engine model of the Camry.
Hope this helps.
