2024 Toyota Camry

The Toyota Camry is a front-wheel-drive midsize sedan and one of the longest-running nameplates in the US market. Since the late 1990s it has been a perennial sales leader among passenger cars, competing with the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, and Hyundai Sonata. Across the 1997-2026 model years covered here, the Camry spans six generations, evolving from a conservatively styled family car with four-cylinder and V6 engines into a sportier-looking sedan that, as of the 2025 redesign, is sold exclusively as a hybrid.

The Camry's reputation rests on reliability, low running costs, and strong resale value rather than driving excitement, though later generations added firmer chassis tuning and more expressive styling. It appeals to a broad range of buyers: families and commuters wanting a dependable daily driver, used-car shoppers seeking longevity on a budget, and hybrid buyers prioritizing fuel economy. US-market Camrys have been assembled primarily at Toyota's Georgetown, Kentucky plant, and the deep supply of used examples makes it one of the easiest sedans to shop across model years.

The 2024 model: Built on Toyota's TNGA-K platform, the XV70 sat lower and adopted much sportier styling and handling than earlier Camrys. Powertrains included a 2.5-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder, a 301-hp 3.5-liter V6, and a more efficient hybrid, with Toyota Safety Sense driver-assist features standard. All-wheel drive returned as an option on four-cylinder models for 2020.
