New 2023 Toyota Camry ( Overview ). HIGHS
– Plentiful standard safety tech, fuel-efficient hybrid models, still offers a V-6 in the TRD.
LOWS
– Mundane base four-cylinder engine, iffy material quality in the base models, driving fun is not its thing.
VERDICT
– In a world awash in SUVs the Camry continues to offer the old-school alternative of a competent, comfortable, dependable, economical, low-key midsize family sedan.
Thanks to strong fuel economy, a comfortable interior and good value, the Toyota Camry is one of our higher-ranked midsize sedans. It’s an easy go-to choice. But a lackluster four-cylinder engine and excessive wind and engine noise keep it from being best-in-class.
– Pros
High fuel economy from four-cylinder engine
Plenty of cabin and cargo space
Easy steering and unobstructed visibility make it easy to drive
Comprehensive suite of driver safety aids comes standard
– Cons
Four-cylinder engine sounds unrefined
Elevated levels of wind and road noise at highway speeds
– What’s new
SE Nightshade model gets new 19-inch bronze wheels
Part of the eighth Camry generation introduced for 2018
Since its introduction to the U.S. market, way back in 1983, the Toyota Camry has been one of the most popular and successful sedans in its class. The latest-generation Camry is roomy, comfortable, sharp-looking and pleasant — if not overly exciting — to drive. It’s also one of the few vehicles in its class to offer all-wheel drive, which is a boon to those who live in snowy climes but don’t want to get behind the wheel of an SUV.
