Toyota Camry is a midsize sedan that has been in production since 1982, becoming one of the best-selling cars in the world due to its reliability, comfort, and efficiency. Over multiple generations, it has evolved to offer improved performance, safety, and technology while maintaining a strong reputation for dependability.
The fifth generation (2001–2006) introduced a more modern and aerodynamic design with improved interior space. It offered engine options including a 2.4-liter inline-four, replacing the previous generation's 2.2-liter engine, and a 3.0-liter or 3.3-liter V6, with the latter being a new addition to the lineup. This generation focused on ride comfort and fuel efficiency, making it a popular choice among midsize sedan buyers.
The sixth generation (2006–2011) brought a more aggressive exterior design and technological advancements. It retained the 2.4-liter inline-four engine from the previous generation but introduced a more powerful 3.5-liter V6, replacing the older 3.0 and 3.3-liter V6 options. The hybrid version was also introduced, combining the 2.4-liter engine with an electric motor for enhanced fuel efficiency. Improved safety features and infotainment options made this generation stand out.
The seventh generation (2011–2017) introduced a more refined design and enhanced fuel efficiency. The base 2.4-liter engine was replaced with a new 2.5-liter inline-four, providing better performance and efficiency. The 3.5-liter V6 remained, while the hybrid system was updated with the new 2.5-liter engine, offering improved fuel economy and lower emissions.
The eighth generation (2017–present) was built on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, improving handling, rigidity, and overall driving dynamics. Engine options remained similar, with the 2.5-liter inline-four receiving refinements for better efficiency and performance. The 3.5-liter V6 carried over with slight improvements, while the hybrid system saw further enhancements for better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
In user reviews, the Toyota Camry is praised for its smooth ride, spacious and comfortable interior, and strong fuel efficiency, particularly in hybrid models. Owners appreciate its reliability and low maintenance costs. However, some criticisms include a conservative design, infotainment system usability, and less engaging driving dynamics compared to sportier rivals.
