How it scores for you10 scores
A 5-star-safe, hybrid-frugal 40-mpg commuter that trades driving engagement for smooth comfort, though steering complaints nag an otherwise dependable sedan.
Reliability70

Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 7 recalls were serious. About 13% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +8 points for its wider reputation.

Safety100

5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 4, side 5, rollover 4).

Running costs81

About $1,700 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 81% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility59

15.4 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 59% of other sedans we track.

Passenger space63

Roomy midsize sedan cabin with generous rear legroom and seating for five; 15.4 cu ft trunk is competitive for the class.

Driving fun38

Camry XV50 prioritizes comfort over engagement. FWD only, modest 178 hp on the hybrid, numb steering and soft dynamics make it competent but unexciting to drive.

Tech45

Mid-cycle Camry offered basic Entune infotainment and available features, but this era lacked advanced driver aids as standard, making tech roughly segment-typical for its years.

Comfort62

Toyota tuned the Camry for a smooth, quiet ride with supportive seats and easy ergonomics, a longtime strength that lands it comfortably above average.

Value retention70

SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.

Capability0

No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
