Thinking of leasing a Toyota Camry?

The U.S. News Best Price Program saves users an average of $1,824 off the MSRP, and a lower price equals lower monthly lease payments. That means you could see a savings of $90 a month on a 36-month lease.

Drive & Performance 6.8/10

The 2024 Toyota Camry performs admirably for a family sedan. Steering is accurate, nicely weighted and predictable, which makes the Toyota an easy daily driver. Handling is composed, but we wouldn't call it sporty. The Camry's ride quality is smooth, which will please driver and passengers alike, especially on long hauls. Brake performance is good overall: The Camry provides light and easy brake pedal modulation and quick, secure stops.

The Camry is available with two engines. The base version is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 203 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque, and you can opt for a 3.5-liter V6 with 301 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. Both variants come with front-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is available on all models except for the TRD. Both of the Camry's engines provide adequate get-up-and-go for most driving situations. The base four-cylinder isn't especially quick, but it pulls the Toyota off the line from a standstill quickly enough and allows for drama-free passing and merging on the freeway. The engine can get a little noisy at high revs, but that's the only big complaint. The optional V6 is markedly more muscular and injects a welcome bit of sportiness into the Camry. Both engines come with a smooth and quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission.

Fuel Economy 10.0/10

The 2024 Camry gets good fuel economy estimates for the midsize car class. Models with the base four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive get an EPA-estimated 27 to 28 mpg in the city and 38 to 39 mpg on the highway, and versions with all-wheel drive get 25/34 mpg city/highway. V6-powered models earn 22 mpg in the city and 31 to 33 mpg on the highway.

Interior 7.3/10

The 2024 Camry has a solidly built and attractive interior, though it doesn't feel as fresh as what you'll find in some of its newer rivals. There are also some visible hard plastics scattered about, but this is pretty common for the segment. Upper-trim models can feel positively upmarket and comparable to an entry-level luxury sedan. The Camry seats five people. The front row is spacious and comfortable, and the seats provide a nice balance of cushioning and support. Visibility is good all around, as well. The back seats can accommodate two adults with minimal fuss, though three people could be a squeeze. The Toyota's low roofline might make tall occupants feel cramped, but second-row legroom is pretty good for the class.

The Camry falls short of segment rivals when it comes to cargo space. Its trunk provides 15.1 cubic feet of room, which is below average for a midsize car. That said, it can easily haul a pair of large suitcases or a sizable load of groceries. The trunk also has a low lift height, which makes loading and unloading heavy items less of a chore.

Value 8.9/10

The 2024 Toyota Camry has a below-average value rating for the midsize car class. We determine value based on the vehicle's estimated total cost of ownership, along with the vehicle's MSRP for its base and top trims.

Safety 9.6/10

The 2024 Camry gets mostly good ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Camry comes standard with a decent number of driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist.

For installing child safety seats, there are two complete sets of LATCH connectors for the rear outboard seats. There's also a tether anchor for the rear middle seat, and you can borrow lower anchors from either outboard seat when they're not in use. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave this LATCH system the highest rating of Good+. The "+" indicates that it's among the easiest and most versatile to use.

Quality and Reliability 88.0/100

The 2024 Toyota Camry has a predicted reliability score of 88 out of 100. A J.D. Power predicted reliability score of 91-100 is considered the Best, 81-90 is Great, 70-80 is Average and 0-69 is Fair and considered below average.

Critics’ Rating 7.6/10

The 2024 Toyota Camry receives a critics' rating that is average for the class. This rating, which is driven by our qualitative research, represents the overall tone and recommendation level that the automotive press places on a car.

Pricing

How Much Is a 2024 Toyota Camry?

The 2024 Toyota Camry starts at $26,420 for the base LE model, which comes with equipment like a power-adjustable driver's seat and adaptive cruise control. The SE (base MSRP: $27,960) gains features such as synthetic leather upholstery and sportier styling, while the XLE (base MSRP: $31,170) gets amenities like leather upholstery and a larger touch screen. The XSE is priced from $31,720. This model retains the XLE's features and also gets the SE's more aggressive-looking exterior. The TRD trim starts at $33,485 and comes standard with a V6 engine and larger brakes, among other sport-focused features.

Which Is the Best Toyota Camry Model to Buy?

We recommend stepping up to the upmarket XLE model. Although this trim is markedly pricier than the base LE, we think the extra cash required is justified. In addition to the LE's solid set of standard features, the XLE comes with niceties such as leather upholstery, heated front seats, wireless device charging, a larger touch screen and blind-spot monitoring.

U.S. News Expert Review

John Vincent is the Senior Editor and Correspondent/Vehicle Testing for U.S. News Best Cars. He aims to help car shoppers find the right vehicle at the right price. 

Despite buyer preferences shifting to SUVs, midsize cars are still popular in America’s automotive marketplace. Long a strong seller, today’s eighth-generation Toyota Camry deserves a look if you’re in the market for a midsize sedan. I’ve driven several models of the current-generation Camry, and while I’m generally impressed, I think there’s room for improvement in a few areas. Designed more to satisfy than delight, the Camry does just about everything well, with few weaknesses to be found. The Toyota sedan’s archrival is the Honda Accord, which was recently redesigned and is, in my opinion, the best Accord yet. Oft-overlooked are the Kia K5 and Hyundai Sonata — both excellent vehicles with far better warranty coverage than the Toyota. This model year marks the current-gen Camry's final year, and the next-generation Camry has already made its debut.

What We Like

Compared to previous Camrys, the current model has a more dynamic, almost sporty look, taking on a lower, longer and wider stance than ever. The look hides its rather basic sedan layout, like putting sprinkles on vanilla ice cream. I find the Camry’s cabin comfortable in both rows, though I wouldn’t try to put three adults across the back seat, and the rear headroom is compromised a bit by the sedan’s low roofline. I feel the Camry is a good car for shoppers trying to avoid the complexity found in many new vehicles. Yes, there’s an infotainment touch screen, but there are also easy-to-use physical controls for many vehicle functions. Toyota pioneered the idea that advanced driver-assistance and safety technology should be standard, and they still equip the Camry with a host of standard features.

What We Don’t Like

The Camry’s cabin is starting to get the dated feel that many cars get late in their product cycles. Its mix of lateral and curvy design feels stale, especially in lower trims with their multitude of hard plastic materials. The standard 7-inch infotainment screen isn’t as crisp as newer models and is small by today’s standards, though a better 9-inch system is available. One new bit of technology that Toyota touts as a safety feature is Curve Speed Management, which slows the car as you approach a corner. However, it’s far too aggressive and unpredictable, especially when you’re on the freeway. It’s so annoying that I feel many drivers will just shut it off and won’t have any benefit when it would be helpful.

How It Drove

While it’s not a powerhouse when fitted with its base engine, there’s nothing to complain about the Camry for daily driving. Sure, it makes a racket when you romp on the gas pedal, but that’s expected of most four-cylinder vehicles. It is paired with an excellent eight-speed automatic transmission, which feels more refined than the continuously variable transmissions found in some rivals. Four-cylinder Camrys are available with all-wheel drive, making them an excellent all-season alternative to the Subaru Legacy. I think the Camry’s ride is composed and predictable, making it a superb highway cruiser. However, the Camry I like the most is the least Camry-like model in the lineup. The sporty Camry TRD simply doesn’t make sense on paper, but it’s a whole lot of fun to drive. It features a 301-horsepower V6 and significant suspension upgrades, turning the car into a quick, yet stealthy, road warrior. If you want a V6 Camry, though, you need to buy one now, as the 2025 model won’t have the option.

Is the 2024 Toyota Camry a Good Car?

Yes, the 2024 Camry is a very good car. It has two sufficiently powerful engine options, a well-built interior, lots of standard features and agreeable ride-and-handling dynamics. It also comes with an easy-to-operate infotainment system. This Toyota's cabin can become noisy at high speeds, however, and its trunk is on the small side.

All told, the Camry is a well-rounded and sensible choice in the midsize car class. It's well worth considering if you need a solidly built car and don't care much about athleticism. The Honda Accord is a good alternative if you want a more fun-to-drive car, and the Accord also comes with a more upscale interior, more cargo space and a similar set of standard features. It does have a notably higher base MSRP than the Toyota, however. The Kia K5 and Hyundai Sonata both have lower starting prices than the Camry and come jam-packed with standard features. They also provide solid gas mileage and smooth rides. Like the Camry, neither are especially entertaining to drive, and the Sonata feels particularly dull behind the wheel.

2024 Toyota Camry Versus the Competition

Toyota Camry vs. Honda Accord

The Honda Accord is the Camry's perennial rival in the midsize car segment, and both sedans have their pros and cons. The Accord has a higher base MSRP than the Camry, but it also provides more engaging handling dynamics, a nicer interior, more rear-row legroom and a larger trunk. On the other hand, the Toyota is available with all-wheel drive and a V6 engine, neither of which are offered on the Toyota. Both also come standard with plenty of driver-assistance features. The Camry and Accord are both capable and comfortable, but the Honda is the better overall vehicle.

Toyota Camry vs. Kia K5

The Kia K5 is a relatively new vehicle in the class, but it gives the Camry a run for its money. The sleek Kia comes with a fresher-looking interior, more cargo room and a few more standard features than the Toyota. Like the Camry, it also provides a smooth ride and an easy-to-use infotainment system. That said, the K5 is a bit short on second-row headroom, and the optional upgraded infotainment system isn't as intuitive as the standard setup. Overall, both the K5 and Camry are very good sedans. Your choice will likely come down to personal preference.
