The Toyota Camry, a perennial contender in the midsize sedan segment, returns for 2024 with some minor updates. But can it maintain its edge against increasingly competitive rivals? Let’s take a closer look and see if the Camry remains a compelling choice for those seeking a comfortable, refined sedan.
Design:
The Camry’s exterior design evolves subtly for 2024, with a revised grille and sharper headlights for a more dynamic look. It’s not a radical departure, but it keeps the Camry from appearing outdated. The interior continues to prioritize comfort and ergonomics, offering ample space for passengers and a well-organized layout. Material quality is generally good, with higher trims boasting leather upholstery and soft-touch plastics. While some competitors might offer more adventurous design elements, the Camry’s focus is on function and classic appeal.
Performance:
The 2024 Camry retains its familiar engine lineup. The base 2.5-liter four-cylinder provides adequate power for most driving situations, while the optional 3.5-liter V6 delivers more spirited performance. Both engines pair with an smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy remains impressive, with the four-cylinder achieving up to 32 mpg combined and the V6 reaching 28 mpg combined. A hybrid powertrain option is also available, boasting excellent fuel efficiency of up to 52 mpg combined.
Technology:
The Camry comes equipped with a standard 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system that is user-friendly and responsive. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are included, along with a suite of standard safety features like automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning. Higher trims offer additional features like a head-up display, navigation, and a premium JBL sound system. While the technology package is comprehensive, some rivals might offer more cutting-edge options or a more intuitive user interface.

Verdict:
The 2024 Toyota Camry remains a strong contender in the midsize sedan segment, offering a comfortable ride, good fuel economy, and a reputation for reliability. However, its conservative design, lack of performance options in lower trims, and slightly dated technology might not appeal to everyone. If you prioritize cutting-edge features, a sportier driving experience, or all-wheel-drive capability, other options might be worth considering. Ultimately, the 2024 Camry caters to a specific audience seeking a refined, reliable, and comfortable sedan – and within that niche, it delivers admirably.
