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.

Overview

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.

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, but the 2023 Camry will soldier on essentially unchanged. The only real upgrade for this year applies to the SE Nightshade Edition, which sees the 18-inch black wheels replaced by 19-inch bronze-painted alloys.
Naturally, there are other options should you not go the Camry route. The Honda Accord continues to be the Camry's biggest rival, and the Hyundai Sonata and Kia K5 bring plenty of value and style to the table. To see if the Toyota Camry is worthy of being your next sedan, check out our Expert Rating below.
What's it like to live with?
We bought a 2018 Toyota Camry in the sporty SE trim and tested it for more than a year. Read our long-term Toyota Camry test, where we covered what it was like to live with, from seat comfort to driving impressions to fuel economy and more. Note that the 2023 Camry differs slightly from that 2018 model, which did not have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration, but our general impressions still apply.

Good
7.7
out of 10
We drove the 2023 Toyota Camry on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
7.5/10
How does the Camry drive? We tested the four-cylinder Camry SE. Toyota has optimized it to get high fuel economy, but the trade-off is rather sluggish acceleration off the line. Our test car accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in an unimpressive 8.2 seconds, though it feels a little zestier than that in the real world. The transmission helps make up for this a bit with reasonably good response and quick shifting. With eight speeds, there's always a gear for the occasion, but expect two-gear downshifts when you dip into gas as it tries to make do with the available engine power.
The Camry SE benefits from a slightly sportier suspension, which lends a more hunkered-down feel. It's not set up for truly aggressive driving, but it'll handle anything the average driver is bound to throw at it on a daily basis. The brakes are also easy to control with a light and responsive pedal, and the Camry's stopping performance is about average for the segment.

The brakes are also easy to control with a light and responsive pedal, and the Camry's stopping performance is about average for the segment.
Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Camry? Big, comfortable seats and a smooth ride mean the Camry will suit a wide range of drivers even on long trips. Add in a powerful, easy-to-use climate control system that can cool the cabin effectively, even in triple-digit temperatures, and the Camry provides a pleasant cabin environment for anyone along for the ride.
Its biggest flaw here is that the Camry lets in too much outside noise. You'll hear a prominent engine buzz when you're accelerating and noticeable wind and road noise at freeway speeds. The Camry is definitely noisier than average for a midsize sedan.

Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The Camry's cabin won't wow you with its opulence but instead nails the fundamentals across the board. Highlights include an airy cabin that is easy to get in and out of. It's also spacious for both front and rear occupants and has great outward visibility. An optional 360-degree camera system makes it even easier to navigate cramped parking lots.
The user interface presents no mysteries, with large, clear gauges and simple, well-labeled buttons. They are relatively intuitive even for tech-averse drivers. The radio volume and tuning knobs are small but easy for the driver to reach, though the passenger might have to stretch a bit to use them.

The radio volume and tuning knobs are small but easy for the driver to reach, though the passenger might have to stretch a bit to use them.
Technology
8/10
How’s the tech? The Camry's smartphone integration includes standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa. Both the standard 7-inch and optional 9-inch infotainment touchscreens are easy to read and operate. Built-in navigation is offered on higher trims if you want it. Three USB ports and the option to add a wireless charger should provide plenty of charge for all occupants on the road.
All Camrys come with Toyota's Safety Sense 2.5+. It's an impressive suite of standard driver assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and lane keeping assist. Previously, some of these systems have been too sensitive for our liking, but they've been refined for 2021 and work much better.

Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? As midsize sedans go, the Camry's stuff-hauling credentials are pretty solid. The 15.1-cubic-foot trunk area is large for the class. It also has a wide opening with a low liftover height. The 60/40-split back seat is easy to fold down via trunk-mounted release handles if you need to fit longer items.
There is a good amount of concealed cabin storage too. There's a sliding compartment underneath the wireless charger, a moderately sized center armrest bin, and a small storage cubby on the far left-hand side of the dash. Camry buyers with kids will appreciate the ample backseat room for car seat access and the easily accessible anchors.

Camry buyers with kids will appreciate the ample backseat room for car seat access and the easily accessible anchors.
Fuel Economy
8/10
How’s the fuel economy? The four-cylinder Camry SE's EPA fuel economy rating is among the best in its class at 32 mpg combined (28 city/39 highway). We measured 33.7 mpg on our standardized 115-mile evaluation drive route that provides a mix of city and highway driving. Edmunds also tested a Camry SE of this generation for more than 33,000 miles and observed an average of 29.8 mpg.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Camry a good value? The Camry is an easy-to-use, dependable and fuel-efficient vehicle at the expense of some excitement. It isn't as feature-driven as the Hyundai Sonata or as luxurious as the Mazda 6, but its design and variety of textures manage to be attractive without sacrificing functionality.
Toyota's warranties and after-care support are pretty typical, with three-year/36,000-mile basic and five-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage. That's nowhere near what Hyundai and Kia offer, but most other brands are in the same boat.

Wildcard
7.5/10
The Camry doesn't disappoint, especially in SE trim. It won't replace a real sport sedan, but its pleasing driving dynamics are certainly welcome in this class of car. And with relatively aggressive styling, the Camry at least tries to shrug off the image that midsize sedans don't have to be boring.
2023 Toyota Camry trim level differences
The Toyota Camry is a midsize sedan available in six trim levels: LE, SE, SE Nightshade, XSE, XLE and TRD. A four-cylinder engine and an optional V6 are offered. You can also get all-wheel drive with the four-cylinder. Standard feature highlights include:
Which Camry trim does Edmunds recommend?
We suggest going with the SE trim level, it offers a pleasing balance of value and performance but doesn't sacrifice comfort or efficiency. It also opens up nice-to-have options including a panoramic sunroof and a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert.

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 … rather sporty looking car. 3rd Toyota product in last 7 years or so.
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, … but that was an easy fix with a $50 "Carlinkit 5.0" device from Amazon. The car looks very nice compared to older Camrys. Interior materials are decent and it all seems to be built fairly well.
Cons:
No rattles that I've noticed but lots of road and wind noise, unacceptable for a $40k car IMO. The transmission can't make up its mind and makes weird gear choices sometimes. The stereo sounds like crap, and this even is with the JBL option. Very boomy and undefined even after tweaking the EQ settings. The speakers in my old 2004 were far more impressive and clean, even if they lacked bass. I'd think half-decent speakers in a new car would be a standard thing by now, especially with the upgraded audio option, I guess not.
Conclusion:
It's a good car (not great, just good), despite some annoyances and nitpicks. However, I'm not sure if they're really nitpicks when you're spending this much money. I can't help but think maybe I should have gotten a slightly used BMW or Audi for the same price instead. It would have been a much more refined overall experience. I'm actually half-thinking about selling it now to do that before it depreciates in price too much.
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.

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 … “totally normal” noise for the 2023 model. In other words, they gave up & don’t want to fix it. I have a really hard time believing that a brand new car makes a loud knocking noise. Basically, the car is under warranty & Toyota refuses to fix this on-going issue. Moving on, the interior constantly rattles. All sorts of squeaking + rattling noises can be heard while driving. Overall, the interior feels extremely cheap. Lastly, the heated seats barely work. On the highest setting possible, they get warm at most. I honestly can’t even feel the heated seats on the middle/low setting. In conclusion, this is a very disappointing vehicle & an absolute nightmare since day 1 of ownership. I learned my lesson, I will never purchase a Toyota product again. I understand that it is just a Camry, but at the end of the day, this is nearly a $40,000 car brand new. They definitely don’t build them like they used to. STAY AWAY.
