What’s New for the 2024 Toyota Camry?
The 2024 Toyota Camry comes to the market with no significant changes compared to last year’s model. The only difference between the two is that Amazon Alexa integration is no longer available. Notably, Toyota is likely about to launch either an all-new Camry or a heavily refreshed Camry in 2025. Hopefully, Toyota will add a plug-in hybrid variant.

2024 Toyota Camry Powertrain
Toyota offers the Camry with three different powertrains to choose from. Standard on every trim level save for the TRD is a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. It makes just 203 horsepower and 182 lb-ft of torque.
To put that into perspective, that’s 46 horsepower and 20 lb-ft of torque than the Camry made 20 years ago. Progress isn’t about power for the Camry though. Today, it gets up to 28 mpg in the city and 38 on the highway. This engine puts that power to the ground through an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Front-wheel drive is standard but AWD is available.
Next up in the lineup is a hybrid powertrain which is available on every trim except the TRD and comes with an electrified version of the same engine but with a total system output of 208 horsepower. It is only available as a front-wheel drive car and gets the power there through a continuously variable transmission. It gets up to 51 mpg in the city and 53 on the highway. That’s downright spectacular considering the size of the Camry.
Finally, the Camry TRD is only available with a 301-hp V6, an eight-speed automatic, and front-wheel drive. As we said last year and the year before that, this engine deserves all-wheel drive because it simply overpowers the front tires too easily. Part of that is fun but when one really wants to drive passionately, the Camry drivetrain simply isn’t as sharp as we’d like. Thankfully, fuel economy for the V6 isn’t too bad with figures of 22 mpg in the city and 32 on the highway. Notably, XSE and XLE buyers can both select the V6 should they prefer it.
2024 Toyota Camry Interior
The cabin of the Camry has a lot going on and that’s true regardless of trim level. The dash appears to have three main sections that combine swooping curves with hard straight lines. We’re not totally sure that it’s as pleasing to the eye as it is simply eye-catching. Nevertheless, it’s a modern look that also benefits from tight panel gaps. Higher-end trims like the XSE and XLE feature nice materials like real leather and faux-wood. Lower-end trims feel inexpensive with interiors full of plastic panels.
Seating is no cause for alarm though as the Camry offers spacious headroom and legroom in each row. The front seats are highly adjustable so that just about anyone can find a comfortable driving position. Toyota includes a bevy of clever storage options inside the cabin. Behind the 60/40 split-folding rear seat is a trunk with just over 15 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s true of both the standard Camry and the hybrid as the battery sits beneath the rear seats instead of in the trunk.
2024 Toyota Camry Technology Features
Toyota employs a lot of modern technology in every Camry regardless of trim level. The standard infotainment system measures in at 7 inches but a larger 9-inch unit is also available. Both use Toyota’s Entune 3.0 interface which is snappy, easy to use, and featureful enough that we think most buyers will like it. That said, we see room for improvement when it comes to graphics and feature depth.
Buyers who prefer a third-party interface will appreciate that the Camry’s infotainment system works with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. On top of those benefits, Toyota includes a number of physical knobs and switches for important controls. That makes it much easier to make quick adjustments to numerous settings while keeping a focus on the road.
In terms of safety, the Camry looks great on paper too. Neither the IIHS nor the NHTSA have released any safety data on the Camry but it was a Top Safety Pick+ winner in 2023. On top of that, it comes with adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking.

2024 Toyota Camry Overall Value
The Camry continues to be a solid value as inflation and other prices continue to rise. It’s not going to wow anybody with its styling, performance, or fuel economy but its ability to hold its own on all of those fronts is rare in the car world. The cabin is comfortable, the safety tech is excellent, and we imagine it’ll be a reliable ride for decades to come.

As this generation of the Camry fades away I’ll always wish that Toyota had employed AWD on the V6 models. It’s proven to be wildly fun and capable on the GR Corolla so it would’ve been a welcome addition to the Camry. Beyond that, it’s hard to argue with a sedan that offers all that the Camry does for the price it’s set at.
