Pros & Cons

Here are the pros & cons of the 2023 Toyota Camry:

Pros:

  • Consistent and high safety rating
  • Expanded color options
  • Unobstructed visibility
  • Large interior and cargo space for a midsize sedan
  • High fuel economy/mpg rating for four-cylinder and hybrid models

Cons:

  • The base model is not as attractive as the Nightshade Edition, which includes an extra cost factor
  • Complaints about small touchscreen decreasing road awareness
  • No new or innovative infotainment or technology options
  • Complaints of wind and noise levels within the car’s interior
  • Performance

The performance of the 2023 Toyota Camry is comparable to other midsize sedans within the same price range, with the standard four-cylinder or hybrid models giving great fuel economy with a slow sendoff. The inability to accelerate like a sports model is expected from high-mileage cars such as the Camry.

In a test drive of the 2023 Toyota Camry SE, a regular driver reached 0 to 60 in around 8.2 seconds. Test drivers noted that the brakes are not jerky or heavy in the way some other sedans have been, with a sudden brake being achieved quite easily for a non-sport model.

Interior & Comfort

The interior’s standard features are cloth seats, LED lighting, and soft-touch interior surfaces. The soft-touch interior surfaces are scratch and stain-resistant. Reviewers likened the interior to other Toyota Camrys in the eighth generation. The Camry has relaxed, comfortable seating and movability features.

Safety

The 2023 Toyota Camry safety rating has not had an official release, but early reports show that the safety rating is consistent with the 2022 Toyota Camry. The 2022 and 2023 models are similar in construction, road test, and early consumer reports.

The 2022 model received top ratings from various test reports. Due to the vehicle structure remaining consistent in the 2023 model, these safety reports should carry over from the previous model.

The Standard Safety Sense 2.5+ comes standard in all new Camry models and includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and rear-seat airbags (located on the side.) Automatic high-beam assist and lane-keep assist are also part of the safety package.

Technology & Infotainment

The technology of the 2023 Toyota Camry is consistent with other midsize sedans within the same price range. The standard technology features of the 2023 model include a 7-inch touchscreen that is compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and BlueTooth compatibility and an automatic trial period for satellite radio.
