The Toyota Camry is the car people buy when they want transportation to be the one thing in life that never causes trouble. It arrived in the United States in 1983 as a sensible front-drive sedan and spent the next four decades becoming the definition of the American family car, topping the passenger-car sales charts for most of the 2000s and 2010s. Its secret was never excitement. It was ten-year, 200,000-mile dependability delivered with a comfortable ride and resale value that made accountants smile.
Generations came and went, mostly growing a little larger and a little more refined each time. The 2018 redesign surprised critics with sharper styling and genuinely good handling, and the TRD trim even toyed with sportiness. Then came the bigger shift: the current generation, launched for the 2025 model year, dropped conventional engines in North America and became a hybrid-only sedan, with all-wheel drive available. Fuel economy in the 40s, and past 50 mpg in the thriftiest trims, now comes standard without ever plugging in.
While Ford, Chevrolet and others abandoned the midsize sedan, the Camry stayed, sharing the shrinking segment with the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5 and Nissan Altima. It is built in Georgetown, Kentucky, and sold widely across Asia, the Middle East and Australia. Recent model years have mostly brought price and package tweaks, a sign of how thoroughly Toyota believes it got this one right. Expect news on recalls, pricing, owner mileage reports, comparison tests and the sedan's enduring place in a crossover world.
America's favorite midsize sedan for decades, now hybrid-only, the quietly dependable car that outlived the crossover stampede and kept selling.
