- It's obvious that the updated Toyota Camry became more stylish but Toyota also aimed to improve handling and quietness. Engines remain the same, including the super-efficient hybrid.

I want one since it's time to turn in my 1997 Toyota Camry that has given me 17 years of carefree driving.
I drive a black on black 2015 Camry XSE V6 that I bought last year & I absolutely love it to death! It has 10k miles with no problems so far & still feels brand new & also still has the new car smell. My mom may buy a Camry today, but the XLE 4-cylinder in the predawn gray mica exterior with the gray leather interior.
I got a 2015 xle black camry with tints and a sun roof I absolutely love it,my mom has an 2011 camry se so yeah we love camrys
@@dallascowboysnumberonefan4863 Do you still have it? My brother bought my Camry as I upgraded to a 2016 Lexus GS350 F-Sport three years ago. My mom still has her Camry now with 64k miles & has been flawless so far as expected.
Good for you. When it comes to reliable and practical cars, it’s hard to top the Toyota Camry.
I just bought the 2015 Camry XSE. I had to buy one, because I was that impressed. I traded in my wife's 2012 Camry S.E.. I stayed with the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder, since it is quite fast. This new Camry still gets 38 mpg at 70 with A/C, but the car is more quiet, and while cornering hard, the car does not lean...I like that. This really is competition for the BMW 5 series on a road course, because it handles that well! While other manufacturers are using those cheap CVT/scooter belt-drive transmissions, Toyota uses the excellent 6-speed "real" automatic transmission. With that 6-speed, the car is always in its power band, just like a true sports-sedan should be. I can't say enough about this new Camry. My wife decided she wanted the Camry in red, ....women! I would've chosen silver or white. At least she got the black leather interior.
The look reminds me of the previous generation Sonata. The big grill looks like the Sonata hybrid especially.
Looks nice though.
The Camry is the best vehicle if comfort is your priority. It's like your parents, who never makes you exciting to think about, plan a trip to visit or be with, but who will always provide you with true caring and all the most natural and comfortable accommodations. For me, this is the perfect vehicle to own.
Comfort, reliability, quality, resale value, and so on and so forth.
Chris Zhang Read the Consumer Reports latest review on the 2015 Subaru Legacy which they rated #1. My 3 kids chose the Legacy over the Camry and Accord for rear seat comfort and space. I like the Subaru Legacy too!
John Perez That doesn't make them better than a Camry, it merely suggest your influence over their automotive tastes. In fact, Subaru's quality and reliability have never been their strong suit. But I do agree Toyota's aren't what they used to be.
I still own the red 1985 Corolla GT-S my brother bought new and, after 276K miles, it still has the original engine with the original P/S pump and radiator. Even the original paint is still shiny and smooth, prompting most onlookers to ask if it's been repainted. Now that's something that can't be said of modern cars.
Kids or rear passenger cars don't decide what makes a better car; however, you also need to consider the rear passengers' comfort on short and long drives; otherwise, these cars don't deserve the "family" sedan designation.
1980s-1990s Toyota are known for their long term reliability and Spartan interior. I compared the water pump that I pulled from the 2007 Camry; the fins for the replacement water pump was thicker than the original Toyota. This is indicative of the cost and weight-saving measures (at the expense of quality).
Too bad the driver seat isn't comfortable, I felt like my back went out after a long ride!
Wow, the profile looks a lot like the 07-12 Lexus ES. Toyota has stepped up their game with this Camry for sure.
I love my 2016 Camry SE. Toyota still makes the best cars
No they don't
@@issavibez394how ? At the dealership now about to walk out with one
how about x drive or 4 wheel drive or 4matic for better drive???????
I bought a 2015 Camry when it had 7,450 miles on it. I have had it for 6 years now and have NEVER had an issue with it. It now has around 39,000 miles and still drives like a new vehicle.
Consumer Reports rated the 2016 Toyota Camry Best Midsize Car! The solid Camry delivers year after year of outstanding reliability, which when combined with impressive crash-test results, make it a near-perfect sedan and one of our 10 Top Picks. With just under 28,000 I'm very happy with my 2016 Camry SE! By the way the 2018 Camry in the Best Midsize Car again!
i just got me a 2015 camry se i love my car its awesome especially on curves jejeje
I know this is old, planning on buying one, again. how's yours holding up? thx you
He was referring to what car editors thank about the camry which is dull. The v6 is quick but in reality the camry is behind as far as styling goes They need to go in a different direction and get more daring with the styling.
I wish the camry could come in AWD :( Colorado snow wins my 2007 camry fwd sucks in the snow.
I do like the big buttons and knobs. Easy to use.
The Toyota Camry is one of the best vehicles that gives you a little bit of everything - reliability, safety, decent fuel economy, and comfort rolled into one package.
Well, the main reason why the Camry 4 Cylinder lacks a little in fuel efficiency is that they actually use a real reliable 6 speed automatic. I'd rather give up some fuel economy for a much more reliable car with a smooth shifting transmission. I'm purchasing a Camry SE next year when my lease on my Focus is up with that GARBAGE Dual Clutch Automatic.
+Robert Schneider EXACTLY!
Exactly my point of view as well
The new styling is nice, however, I don't care for the gaping-hole-look of the front end.
I would paint the black strip in the SE's grille the same color as the body to split the grille in half, making for a more traditional looking front end. Throw in Toyota's impeccable reliability and build quality along with the new updates and you have a winning combination.
Reminds me of the 2013 Lexus ES
Pity the center console is still so wide, it is unnecessarily constraining for tall drivers.
The Camry has become a rental queen just like the Altima, Malibu, Sonota, Optima, 200, and Avenger. Toyota includes those fleet sales in its "best seller" claim, which isn't fair when nearly all Accords are retail sales.
That plastic piece behind the rear door windows look very odd to me. Tacked on.
It may look better with tinted windows, as it will elongate the look of the greenhouse.
elton john I totally agree with you. That plastic piece looks hideous. The camry designers make the car look more and more ugly each year. Uhhh!!!
elton john It looks better when the car is Black. I bought one in Black & it blends in better.
A 2015 Subaru Legacy with the 4 cylinder Boxer engine gets 26 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway with Lineartronic CVT and Symmetrical AWD. Since the Subaru Legacy is celebrating 25 years in the market, it made it a lot better than the previous generation. It also handles better thanks to the low center of gravity. On higher trim levels with leather, you can get heated rear seats, something the Camry or Accord can't brag about and second generation EyeSight system.
Should I get a 2015 Legacy, or the 2015 Camry LE? I know that the Camry LE has a genuine 6-speed automatic transmission, but it only supports a 4-cylinder and front-wheel-drive. But I know that the Subaru has all-wheel-drive, and it pumps more horsepower than the Camry, but it is smaller and feels like a Toyota Yaris, uses a "fake" automatic transmission, and is more expensive than the Camry, so which one?
Get the 2015 Legacy, because it has a smooth ride and handles like a Mazda6. The Lineartronic CVT isn't that slow, because after having a 2014 Forester, the transmission surges with power from 0 mph, so it doesn't feel slow. The interior is much better inside. The Camry is comfortable on all trim levels, except SE and XSE models, but the SE and XSE are not too sporty like Mazda6 or Legacy in driving dynamics.
Tim Joseph Also, I'm just a regular everyday driver, so when I think of picking the right car, I think of a Camry due to its reliability.
Tim Joseph Oh! But is the car itself reliable like a Toyota?
I mean both are reliable vehicles because the engines are from Japan. The Camry is not a bad car, but when everyone else has one, it becomes boring. I do know a lot of people in my church and my friends who drive or own Camrys. I know Toyota made the Camry's styling as evolutionary. Both use 0W-20 synthetic oil, especially the Accord.
Thinking about buying one myself
Then go for either the XSE or XLE (The top trims) cause you get a lot more features for not much more money such as Dual Zone Auto Climate Control, Power Passenger Seat, Rear Seat Vents, HD Radio, Heated Front Seats, Premium JBL Audio, Standard Navigation App that you download from your phone, as well as a much nicer interior. None of those features are available on the LE & SE. I recommend just skipping the LE & SE. Sadly most people buy those versions. I have a 2015 XSE V6 & my parents have a 2017 XLE 4-cylinder. Much, much nicer than the LE & SE. Trust me it's worth it!
DisneyMusicVideos
I'm definitely going for the xse model. I like the sportier look.
Awesome!
It depends on who you are. If your not the type of person who has many people in the car, then the rear climate control isn't for you. Same goes in regards to the tech.
Moving to the Avalon.
Everyone who reviews the 2015 Camry mentions the roof hasn't changed. They all say it's a boring car but it's a top seller car reviews are no longer original when it comes to Toyota's now days. You can't tell if they like it or hate it.
I bought a new 2005 Camry (perhaps the last made in Japan model year). It is okay, but I don't think I buy another Camry for a while. I am very happy with my 2009 Jetta and 2011 Tiguan. And I should say that I have not seen any reliability issues with my VWs. I think when time comes to replace my Camry in a year or two, the replacement could be another VW.
I have 2003 Corolla and it's working like a donkey :)
I bought 2013 Camry. It's just boring. I wish I could have bought an used VW CC
Tho Le If "boring" to you means not having to relive over and over again the anxiety of having to get your car fixed, then I'd say go for the CC, guaranteed to provide the "excitement" that you crave.
Tho Le what trim did you buy? If you bought the base of course its going to be boring. Drive a fully loaded se v6, that not boring at all.
It is not the base, but it is not fully loaded either. I always go for the middle.
I wish they consider returning Toyota Solara.
I rode in one they kinda cool front wheel drive
Questionable whether it really looks better. The spindle front end just isn't a nice look and when you have cars like the Fusion and the 6 in the segment, well....
The really worrying thing is that the fuel economy numbers haven't changed. For a long time that has been one of Toyota's main claims to fame but now they are 3-5 mpg behind the top competitors? That's really resting on your laurels.
+Maestro_T I like the styling of this better than the Fusion and Mazda 6
Binder Dundat Lucky you, because that would make buying it easier, and buying a Toyota over a Ford is the smart thing to do, after all.
The front looks like the Hyundai Genesis Coupé/Veloster. It's tragic that the defacto trailblazer brand of the 2000's now picks up scraps of leftover designs from a once second-rate budget brand.
......I am still going to get a Challenger..
Despite all of your negative comments, it has been the most selling car in the US and it will be forever. The Mazda 6 is better in every aspects such as looks, fuel economy, drive....Why have people just blind picked the Camry? People don't do test drive at all? IMO, 0% APR is the answer.
camry will outlast mazda by far and will have a way better resale value
***** your entitled to your own opinion but i can garantee you a camry will have a way better resale value
***** only time will tell on the reliability
Tho Le Honda typically outsells the Camry for consumer sales. However, Camry outsells any other brand because they include corporate sales (e.g., car rental companies) in their figures.
wot.motortrend.com/1410_september_midsize_sales_honda_accord_beats_toyota_camry_again.html
Part of it is better deals. When you sell in the volumes that Camry does, you can offer greater discounts than a company like Mazda who sells much fewer cars. Many consumers are attracted to bottom line price over driving excitement.
I bought a 2015 Camry LE, but it definately does not have as smooth and vibration free a ride as the 2015 Hyundai Sonata and it's 4 cyl engine makes unrefined whiney sounds at lower speeds. Also it's seats are harder than Sonatas. The Ford Fusion is the smoothest, quietest riding car in this segment and also had the most comfortable seats, but it's mechanical reliability is poor compared to the Asians.
That award for smoothest and quietest goes to the Chevy Malibu but most reliable and fuel efficient go to Camry and accord as far as most fuel efficient Altima Mazda 6 which is pretty reliable but noisy and not as smooth riding the Altima is not as reliable as it once was the Chrysler 200 efficient but troublesome and all around piece of crap Subaru Legacy is very very nice and will also run forever and fuel economy is not bad for an all wheel drive sedan the best mid sized sedans to get Camry legacy or accord if you don't care about resale value Hyundai Sonata the Kia Optima is nice too but it has a punishing ride and more road noise
Good review Darion, I'm considering a Camry or RAV4, I thought about a Subaru Forester, but I don't want a CVT tranny. Also the Toyota's still use multi port injection, instead of direct injection which has problems with carbon buildup on the intake valves.
Toyota has become the new "GM" car company. Cars that are styled by committee, engines and transmissions that aren't competitive. Case in point, the Honda Accords, have a torque converter in front of the CVT transmission. Therefore, it performs similar to a conventional transmission, and better gas mileage on the highway. The Altima, doesn't come close. I have a Accord Sport, w/6-spd. manual transmission. The CVT gets better gas mileage, but over a second slower that the manual. I'm sure that the Camry will sell tons of cars, but, the August car totals for the Accord, was the highest of all mid-size cars. If Toyota doesn't make changes to it's engines, and transmissions, the styling won't be enough to keep it is first place.
+Kenia Armstrong I contracted for GM during the 70s and 80s and I can tell you without a word of a lie, Toyota is NOT the new "GM" car company. Not by a long shot. This is a company that is managed in an excellent manner, with fantastic design teams and has a reputation in the business world that is second to none. Toyota did not become the world's largest auto manufacturer by accident. Ford Motor Company would die to be a shadow of Toyota. Their former boss actually admired Toyota.
I had no problems with the last design but i do have MAJOR problems with toyota still using 8 year old engines -.-
Hmm but they are rock solid engines with proven track record. I know the other players have new engines but they are new out of the box with no track record.
My dad's old 2007 lexus es 350 had major engine problems during the last few months of the lease so not exactly rock solid.
krauser979 like what?
It just stalled randomly near the end of the lease and hesitated really bad when trying to accelerate
*****
Sounds like a dirty Mass Air Flow Sensor, he probably never changed his air filter
Almost 35k for a camry? (Scratching my head)....
Decent but at 35k I'd seriously put up a few thousand more for an entry level luxury vehicle instead.
Get this car BUT only in a v6. Best v6 on the market when it comes to smoothness and unbelievable amount of power
True... That same old Toyota V6 might be old but not obsolete as yet. They are silky smooth (they are in my 2007 Sienna and Venza 2010). You can barely tell the engine running. My complain is about the interior fit and finish workmanship.
For the Camry (2002-2006 models), you could get an LE or SE with a V6. Now Toyota now only supports a 4-cylinder for the LE and SE trims, and an available V6 for XSE and XLE trims. Before, all the Camry XLE (1992, 2006), the XLE came standard with the V6. Actually, 1989 Toyota Camry(s) are still able to drive (guaranteed with rustproofing, may start up rarely without rustproofing).
No thanks.
Just got rid of my 08 Accord V6. Got 12 mpg. I now have a 15 Camry LE 4 cyl. Way better gas mileage.
Sound insulation does not make a car better to *drive*. It makes a car better to ride in.
Chassis, shocks, struts, steering feedback, etc, etc, etc... *THAT* makes a car better to *DRIVE*.
Please don't confuse the issue.
My 2013 Camry with that exact engine and transmission gets 38 mpgs, and its not a hybrid. That is at 70 mph with the air-conditioning on. Where do you get your information? You get that info from Nissan and Honda? LOL. Come on!
It's ok but it looks like the Lexus ES 250/350 and no sir I don't believe it's sporty it looks kinda but no
This guy reminds me of Bruce, the effeminate granola on Family Guy.
Set my moms new toyota on fire in the woods now we have a 2014 mazda 6 ,haha
It might be a better car than the old model but it still looks really bland.
I disagree with the styling changes, I have a 2012 SE, and it is much better looking than this suppository.
THIS CAR IS NOT NEW. The exterior styling has already been the look of another toyota in japan for some years now.
No thanks, I'm sticking to my 1996 camry, love my car! By far the 3rd gen is the best car toyota made along with the 1st & 2bd, but the 3rd is a dying breed. Then they flopped, money got to their egos & now they have crap. They don't make camrys like they used too.
***** I think id buy a Honda Accord first. To me the Camry is tied with the VW Passat.
Camry is way better than a pasat. Camry's last long if you have the 4-cylinder which I have in mine. The v6 versions from I what I heard from other camry owners suck! Nothing against pasat, just camry's are built tough I guess.
Chazz Kustomz I don't doubt that for a second. I know very well Japanese cars are the best around. I just mean id have more fun and happiness owning a Passat. It's more me and my personality. Sure it might cost more to maintain in the long haul but its worth it. Basically I'm saying its good enough. Better than a Ford or GM at least hehe. "better" is more how you look at it, to me the Passat is a better car than the Camry because I would be happy and excited about owning it, while a Camry is boring and basic transport. If I bought Japanese id go for the Accord first. On the car and driver 10 best list for over 25 years I think. Plus I believe Honda to be a more respectable company than Toyota in terms of recent recalls and safety issues. Nothing against Toyota though, I still think they are good they have just slipped up ad are having to rebuild their reputation. I wouldn't mind a Camry or an Avalon.
***** I actually liked the 2007-2011 ones more than the 2002-2006 but hey its everyone's own opinion. I pretty much liked all Accords, in fact the 2008-2012 8th gen was almost my first car.
***** Omg yes my friends mom has a 2011 and you can literally pull apart the dashboard lol. Im happy they fixed it in 2012 and on. Maybe id just pay more to have a brand new LE model from this new 2015+ gen.
Looks like my dad’s car
I drive a '12 XLE. Lease is up next August. I will NOT be buying one of the new models. Ugly!
I bought many Toyota cars and they always reliable (no complain there)...however, when I bought the Venza in 2010 I found the interior is so cheaply made that it changes my whole perspective on Toyota as a quality car. I traded it in without two years of ownership because I cannot stand the rattles and squeaks emitted from the interior of the Venza. No longer looking at Toyota the same way gain. So sad, Toyota is not what they used to be...
I just got a 2014.5 Camry last week ...
***** Toyota has sadly not revamped the Venza yet that it makes me think that they may no longer continue its production.
The rattles could have been fixed and cost you a lot less than taking the loss on trading the car especially if they knew you hated it, the Venza along with all crossovers are ugly and unless you got the XLE Venza you got what you paid for
interior looks like a ford fusion
I really think its front is ugly. I am not a picky guy, I think almost all the mid-size class cars are amazing and beautiful, Accord, Mazda, Fusion, Altima etc.. But never Camery!!! Can people just stop buying Camery so that Toyota really realize they should hire some cool designers!!
+Qiulei Guo Is it past your bed time?
Looks liks they took Lexus USA grill and slapped on ***** emblems.
So, basically, not impressed at all. Better choices out there.
it doesnt matter what new camry looks like, the car just prints money for toyota. which is quite sad cause there are better looking cars out there
Hyundai and Kia are the new Toyota. Toyota is the new Hyundai and Kia. 😂
Styling sucks. Not happy about the loss of content either. Seems to be behind the times in terms of features
Am I the only person who sees the camry always copying Acura TSX look. The 2007-2011 camry looks like the 2003 - 2008 tsx, the 2012 -2014 camry looks like a 2009 - 2014 tsx even the rims looked the same camry se and tsx sport models. Now they are copying the TLX in the front lights and the 2011 sonata in the back lights. WTH Toyota?
once again consumer reports tres to ignore hyundai sonata when obviosly toyota did the third year early make over with the new sonata in mind~ consumer report you are nolonger reliable source but a joke
I'm very disappointed in new Toyotas.
Their build quality is not what it used to be.
I agree, but it's still better than most. Given their past, I would be willing to take that chance versus many of the new comers (as well as all the usual players) with questionable history.
Mr Ol Skül
O ya, even with a lower quality, they're still better than Hyundai ex.
Honda is a joke now.
I agree. I bought new back in 2007. Figured it will save me lots of money since many of my friends have Camry's from 90's and early 00's, still running, in good shape. I still have the car, it's using more oil than gas! If it wasn't for this issue, which is pretty major, it would have been a good since nothing else ever went wrong with it. They used Ok materials on the inside, but the way it was put together is just awful. Gaps everywhere, stuff sticking out, front pillars all loose, rattling, etc. I don't know. If i was to buy another car, it would be Honda, most likely Accord. Toyota did same thing GM, they got too big, cocky and money hungry. Started making shitty cars, lost trust from smart people who moved on to better quality products. Now they are trying to come back. I guess it's in human nature to not learns from mistakes, our own or others.
yea but about of manufactures arent what they use to be. Toyota is still among the best and their lexus division is way past other brands
Sanic I don't think Honda's a joke. Sure, they're having issues with their infotainment systems, and does many carmakers.
I refuse to let go of my 2003 Honda Pilot (which was driven for over 45,000 miles on the European autobahns) plus my wife and I love our 2012 CR-V.
I sold my 2007 Camry a few weeks ago. Sure, it was "reliable," but I had to replace the alternator and water pump at 52,000 miles. My brother still has his Toyota 2WD pickup with its original water pump, and it has at least 225,000 miles!
A little less hideous now
The 2015 -2017 Toyota Camry is by far one of the worse designs I have EVER seen on a Camry. What were thwy thinking? Yes, its a reliable car but is certainly NOT attractive at all. I dont mind driving a reliable car, however, it ALSO have to look great too. I had an option to purchase a 2015 Toyota Camry, with NO miles, and a 2012 Toyota Venza with 26k miles, and even though the Camry was cheaper, I STILL chose the Venza. Had NO regrets!!
Unreliable
Kind of ugly if you ask me
I bet you too.
Choose the right color and it becomes tolerable.
Iooks a little better and interesting, but doesn't have the appeal of a Fusion or Mazda 6. Then again Camry drivers are not interested in driving dynamics and looks. So good job I guess.
+DevPack How do you know that Camry drivers aren't interested in looks or driving dynamics. It could very well be, and actually is a fact, that a lot of people really like the design of the Camry and enjoy it's ride. Perhaps one of the reasons it sells in such huge numbers.
Binder Dundat yes cause its not sporty...its floaty and comfortable which many people like.
Why would you look for "sporty" characteristics in this type of car? This is a family car and a car designed for people who desire a well made vehicle that works flawlessly and has an enviable track record. With regards to looks...........I think it looks miles better than the Mazda 6 and every bit as good as the Fusion.
Someone people enjoy having a car that is fun to drive without having to pay a lot of money
Yes, but you're missing the point. More people desire a comfortable, smooth and reliable vehicle and that's what the Camry is and what is was designed to be. So why dump on the Camry because it doesn't have the characteristics you're looking for. There are cheaper cars with more sporty characteristics. For example........the Mazda 3, the Mazda CX-3 and some models of the Civic. Why is that such a hard concept to grasp?
Another no personality Toyota for people who have none themselves.
It's for people who work for a living and want to get comfortably from point A to point B, not for posers who hope mommy will help with the next month's payment on WRX.
Why is the mpg 4mpg less than the Mazda 6 or Altima? Surely Toyota is not behind the technology curve, what gives? Anybody know the answer?
***** Hubris. Toyota has been suffering from it for a while. Honda has bouts of it too.
Car styles change all the time. The important thing is safety , reliability and longevity .The toyota camry has the bases covered. Personality has nothing to do with the car you drive.
It still looks blah.
Best killing machine selling every year you mean.. Talk about safety people!!!! Talk about how it's became noise maker after 2 years max
In my book it's still ugly.
Just more of the same blah, if you ask me.
never on my list. ugly always
Still the car people buy who know nothing about cars.
As bad as the last one.
