Thanks to strong fuel economy, a comfortable interior and good value, the 2023 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.

2023 Toyota Camry Review

by the Edmunds Experts

4/28/2022

What's new

SE Nightshade model gets new 19-inch bronze wheels
Part of the eighth Camry generation introduced for 2018

What is the Camry?

If you really don't know what the Toyota Camry is, let us be the first to officially welcome you to Earth! For everyone else, the Camry is far and away the most popular midsize sedan on the market. It's not hard to see why. The 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.

The 2023 Camry marks the sixth year of production since this generation debuted in 2018. Toyota's sedans and crossovers generally follow a five-year life cycle, so the 2023 Camry could go one of two ways. The most likely outcome is that Toyota will carry forward the current model for the 2023 model year with almost zero changes. But we also see an opportunity for Toyota to unveil a fully redesigned Camry over the next couple of years, and the 2023 version is as likely as any to receive a complete overhaul. Stay tuned to this space as we learn more about the 2023 Camry. However, if you're in the market now for a well-regarded family sedan, head over to our 2022 Toyota Camry page to check for inventory in your area.

Edmunds says

With this generation getting a little dusty, it might be time for Toyota to pull the wraps off a redesigned Camry. Check back to see if the Toyota Camry will be all-new for 2023.

It's nice, but not $40k nice.

2023 Toyota Camry XSE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

I like the car, but I'm also a bit underwhelmed for the price. I've had it for a month now. Pros: I got the XSE V6. The engine is relatively powerful, it handles pretty well. Feels very sure-footed and turns on a dime. It's comfortable, roomy, the infotainment system isn't the best on the market but it's good and the screen is easy to read. Android Auto is unfortunately not wireless, …

2023 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

Known for reliability and excellent resale, we selected a 2023 Camry LE AWD, with certainly enough modern conveniences, to keep us well satisfied, keeping it comfortably affordable. The driving pleasure and roadability is a strong attribute. The interior comfort is superior. Fuel consumption has exceeded the sticker ratings in our use. Looking very attractive in our circle drive. A …

It's just ok and underwhelming overall

2023 Toyota Camry SE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

I recently purchased a brand new Toyota Camry SE. I am a bit disappointed given the cost of the car. Let's start with the positives. It is a powerful car, but this is only really noticeable at higher speeds. It is large and there is plenty of space inside. It looks nice on the outside compared to older model Camry's, in my opinion. The seats are really comfortable. My car has … leather-like upgraded seats, which provides a more premium look. Now, for the downsides. This car is slow to accelerate. I have to really press the gas pedal to go, which is very irritating. I have driven Honda Civic's that were faster to accelerate and were more responsive. Cars are constantly passing me when I am driving on the road. My foot started to actually ache a little bit from having to constantly push harder on the gas pedal than I am used to. I really hate driving this car unfortunately. It feels more powerful when you are already at a high rate of speed, but I spend a lot of time driving around town. The SE model is also too bumpy for my liking. I prefer a smooth ride, and this isn't it, but that is probably my fault (for purchasing an SE vs. an LE model). The engine is also really loud. Friends and family have mentioned this when they heard me starting my car, and I heard it too (from the outside) when I started my car and got out. It sounds like an old car from the outside when the engine is running. I was surprised to find out that my car does not have a push button start. For a car at ~$30k MSRP, you would expect that in this day and age. I have to use the regular key. I didn't think it would be an issue but after doing research and realizing that this is a standard feature on many cars, I wish this was standard for this model. It is also inconvenient. The drivers side seat adjustments are electric, but that isn't the case on the passenger side. Sound system is awful. I don't have JBL premium/upgraded sound in my car, but I still expected decent sound quality. I guess not. The sound system was also glitchy after an upgrade. My car doesn't have many safety features, including features that are standard in some lower cost cars. There were a couple of times when I started the car and it wouldn't start all the way (and my car is brand new). I had to start it again and it was fine, but it was just strange overall. Never had this issue with any prior cars. I like this car overall, but I don't love it. Some of this may be due to the lack of features/options included with my car (ie. no push button start, few safety features, no sunroof, etc.). There are too many alternative options in the market, including slightly used cars that are the same price but a lot more luxurious and more fun to drive. If this car was less expensive, I would let some of this go. But at this price point, I think I regret the purchase.

Horrible Vehicle

2023 Toyota Camry XSE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

Please do yourself a favor & don’t buy this car. Ever since I purchased this vehicle brand new, a knocking noise in the rear has been happening (only on a full tank of gas). I have been to my local dealership several times for this issue. After the first diagnostic, they decided to replace the fuel tank. But, the noise still continued. After another diagnostic, they claimed that it is a …
