What Is the 2024 Toyota Camry?
The Toyota Camry is a five-seat mid-size sedan with a sterling reputation for reliability, value and safety. It’s also great on gas whether it’s equipped with its base 203-horsepower four-cylinder or an optional 208-hp hybrid four-cylinder powertrain. For car shoppers willing to trade some fuel economy for stronger acceleration, there’s also an available 302-hp V-6 that gives the stoic Camry a satisfying jolt of performance. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available with the gas four-cylinder engine. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as are a number of active-safety features such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure steering assist, automatic high-beam headlights and adaptive cruise control. Camry competitors include the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata and Kia K5.
What’s New on the 2024 Toyota Camry?
A revamped, hybrid-only Camry is coming for the 2025 model year, so the only notable change to the 2024 Camry is that Amazon Alexa capability has been dropped from the infotainment system.

Should I Buy the 2024 Toyota Camry?
The Camry remains a solid, sensible choice for a mainstream mid-size sedan, and it’s at least a bit more dynamic to look at and drive than it once was. Fuel economy with the base four-cylinder and hybrid powertrains is excellent, but the straight-line speed of the V-6 makes it a tempting option. Available AWD is a bonus you won’t find on the rival Honda Accord, but a key caveat is that the Camry’s competition — including the Accord — are newer and feel more modern. Toyota’s rock-solid family car is starting to show its age; its last major redesign was back in 2018.
