Which should you buy, 2021 or 2022? Few significant changes for 2022 might make a 2021 Camry a better buy to avoid the price increase. That’s especially true if you’re shopping for one of the lower trims, which have the largest increases. If a hybrid with the SE Nightshade trim is your choice, though, it will have to be a 2022.

Little changes are in store for Toyota’s venerable Camry family sedan for 2022. The SE Hybrid now gains a Nightshade Edition, which features 18-inch black-alloy wheels along with blacked-out window trim, badging, exterior mirrors and more. Changes elsewhere in the lineup are minor, with some shuffling of standard equipment, as well as new wheel and front-end designs.
