2023 Toyota Camry Review - Cooler Than You Expect

Updated Apr 22, 2022

You must have seen various Toyota Camry reviews from many car reviewers all over the markets. It’s easy to understand, especially when the Toyota Camry has always been one of the strongest players in the sedan market. Not only continuing the legacy from its older generations, but Toyota also pushes the 2023 Toyota Camry to level up the game with its first-ever electrification setup, again redefining the Japanese audacity and uniqueness.

How’s the new Camry in its updated avatar? It’s cooler than what you expect. Check it out in our 2023 Toyota Camry Review.

2023 Toyota Camry review: Exterior

First aspect in our Toyota Camry review is the exterior. As the Toyota Camry has been an absolute stunner, it’s not a bad thing that the 2023 Toyota Camry sees almost no change in terms of look. The difference lies in the sportier upfront with a more refined grille and bumper finished in a shade of high-gloss black along with revamped 18-inch alloys. The body lines look aggressive enough to give the sedan a more premium look on the city way. The hybrid sedan still maintains its coat of elegance mixed with sportiness on the outside as its previous version gives Toyota quite a thumbs-up. Frankly, however, if the 2023 Toyota Camry stands shoulder-by-shoulder with the outgoing one, it’s hard to tell them apart.

2023 Toyota Camry Review: Interior

When it comes to the Toyota Camry interior, the changes are also subtle like its appearance. There’s a new 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, along with USB and Bluetooth connections.

The new leather upholstery levels up the premium touch. The newly-designed digital control panel on the rear armrest should be the main highlight inside the Camry’s cabin. With it, rear passengers now can adjust the rear seats, AC and even the doors without any effort.

2023 Toyota Camry Review: Engine

All the misses in the 2023 Toyota Camry have been fully compensated for the engine parts. Gone is the 2.5-litre EFI engine. The Camry is now only available with a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder paired with an electric motor, making the new Camry the only midsize hybrid sedan in the market.

The Toyota Camry engine churns out purely 178 PS of power at 5700 rpm and 221 Nm at 3600 - 5200 rpm while the electric motor develops an additional 88 PS against 202 Nm of torque. In total, the Toyota Camry Hybrid can generate a maximum power of 211 PS. Gone is the 8-speed automatic transmission, the Camry is now available with an E-CVT unit with a front-wheel-drive system.

2023 Toyota Camry Review: Safety and Technology

Last but not least, the safety and technology is a must thing to consider when we do the Toyota Camry review. The Toyota Camry comes with all essentials when it comes to tech and safety. There are a host of airbags, ABS, EBD, brake assists, ESC, traction control among other safety assistance.
