2023 Toyota Camry VIN Lookup

Two engines are available for the Camry: a 203-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder or a 301-hp 3.5-liter V6. The base engine delivers smooth if unexceptional acceleration—Toyota optimized for efficiency rather than excitement. The capable eight-speed automatic transmission makes the most of the available power with quick, well-timed shifts. Handling prioritizes comfort over sportiness, with light steering and suspension tuning to soak up imperfections. Ride quality stands out as a real highlight, pampering occupants from bumps and cracks. Quiet cruising manners complement the supple ride. The available V6 gives a welcome jolt of power, but even then, handling lacks agility. Brakes perform well, with most models needing around 120 feet to stop from 60 mph.

Considering its generous equipment and renowned reputation, Camry pricing compares favorably against the competition. The LE starts at $26,320, already featuring dual-zone climate control, simulated leather upholstery, an 8-way power driver’s seat and a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Stepping up to the $31,620 XSE adds amenities like leather, navigation and a 9-inch touchscreen. EPA estimates check in at 28/39 mpg city/highway for four-cylinder models, while the V6 manages 22/33 mpg. Initial quality reports indicate the Camry avoids most reliability gremlins down the line.

The Camry’s conservative styling forgoes flash in the name of broad appeal, but lacks the flair of some competitors. Nicer cabin materials in upper trims impart a quasi-luxury vibe, but cheaper hard plastics dominate lower-end models. Controls follow consistent Toyota logic with emphasis on ergonomics over style—ideal for the technophobic. Both available touchscreens work well, and offer features like integrated navigation, satellite radio, and device charging. The optional JBL audio system provides crisp, powerful sound. Open sightlines, lots of adjustment, and ample room suit drivers of all sizes.

Plush, ample seats cosset occupants, with heating and ventilation available. Good head and legroom accommodates tall riders, though a swooping roofline hampers rear access. Outward visibility gives drivers confidence to place this sizable sedan in tight spaces. Sound insulation could improve—road, wind and engine noise intrude at speed. On the plus side,absorbent suspension soaks up harsh surfaces for serene highway cruising. Rear seats fold to expand the 15 cubic-foot trunk, competitive if not class-leading. Cabin storage pleases overall, with a deep console bin, in-door pockets and small item trays. Car seat installation is simple, but lower anchors get obstructed.

Crash test agencies awarded the Camry top scores, cementing its reputation as one the safest options in any class. Both IIHS and NHTSA testing certifies strong collision protection, earning a Top Safety Pick + award. Unusually, adaptive cruise control, auto emergency braking, blind spot monitoring and other driver assists come standard—items often reserved for premium vehicles. Initial quality surveys thus far show Camrys avoiding most mechanical issues down the line. Toyota protects the sedan with 3-year/36,000 mile basic and 5-year/60,000 mile powertrain warranties.
