Recalls & safety
Recall history hasn't been loaded for this model year yet.
Whether a recall is still open on a specific car depends on its VIN. Check it free at NHTSA's VIN lookup (nhtsa.gov/recalls), or ask the seller for proof the repair was done.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Roomy, quiet, comfortable cabin with a large trunk and straightforward ergonomics.
- Efficient powertrains including a frugal hybrid option; runs on regular fuel with real-world 30+ mpg, keeping running costs low.
- Outstanding reliability and resale: RepairPal rates the Camry 4.0/5.0, 3rd of 24 midsize cars, with a low average annual repair cost around $388.
- Toyota Safety Sense driver assists (automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, radar cruise) are standard across the lineup.
Cons
- Firmer ride and more road noise on the sport-tuned SE and XSE trims.
- Infotainment and interior tech feel dated next to newer rivals on the earlier cars.
- The Direct Shift 8-speed automatic can shift abruptly or hesitate at low speed, mostly a software-calibration trait rather than hardware failure.

2021-2023 cars held unusually high used values due to pandemic-era supply shortages, so comparisons to original MSRP read differently for these years.
