2023 Toyota Camry SE

When you step into a 2023 Camry, there's a sense that Toyota has tuned for a balance: comfort, reliability, modern tech, and enough performance that older drivers or younger ones don't feel underpowered. Its the kind of car that doesn't call attention by being flashy, but once you drive it, you notice how well everything fits together.

What You Get

Under the hood, most Camry models come standard with a 2.5liter four cylinder engine, producing around 203 horsepower and about 184 lbfeet of torque. That engine is smooth, competent, and good for daily driving commuting, errands, highway cruising. For those who want more oomph, there are higher trims with a V6 (about 301 hp) that deliver stronger acceleration and more punch when you ask for it. And there's a hybrid version too, blending electric and gas power to get much better fuel efficiency.

Fuel economy is one of the Camrys strong suits. The nonhybrid 4cylinder versions often hit about 28 mpg city and 39 mpg highway, which is excellent for a midsize sedan. The hybrid models do even better. If you're driving mostly in the city or stopping and going, the hybrids really shine.

Inside, the Camry is roomy enough for five, with decent space up front and in the back. The materials are good: soft touches in places that matter, solid build quality, and a quiet cabin, especially on highway speeds. The ride is generally comfortable, absorbing bumps well without feeling floaty. The newer interior tech: large touchscreens (depending on trim), Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and safety features like adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, and lane keeping are either standard or available.

What Its Like in Use

Driving a Camry feels easy. You dont have to wring it out to make passing or merging work; the power delivery is smooth. With fourcylinder models, theres enough acceleration for everyday use without feeling overwhelmed. The V6 adds a more aggressive note and noticeably better acceleration, if that matters to you. If you pick the AWD version (which is available on many trims now), it adds grip for wet or slippery roads, but does cost a little more and adds some weight.

On the downside: because the Camry is not a small car, some maneuvering in tight parking lots or narrow streets takes more care. Also, the hybrid models, while excellent on gas savings, tend to cost more upfront and might need slightly more maintenance on things related to the hybrid system over time (though Toyota has generally good reputation for reliability). The V6 models use more fuel. If you run one hard, youll notice the fuel bills.
