Expert Rating

Toyota Camry (2019 to 2021)

Not a current model

    Summary

    The Toyota Camry was a large family/executive saloon that launched in 2019, replacing the Toyota Avensis. Unlike the Avensis, the Camry was not available in an estate body style. All versions of the Camry sold in the UK were powered by a petrol-electric hybrid engine.

    The Camry received generally good reviews from the UK motoring media, although the overall scores we have collected to date place it near the bottom of its class with an Expert Rating of 64%. This is ahead of the Ford Mondeo, but just behind the Vauxhall Insignia – and well behind the Volkswagen Passat or more expensive models from the likes of Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

    Despite the relatively low scores, the Toyota Camry was particularly praised for being comfortable, quiet, efficient and practical. The main criticism was related to its driving experience, which was described as “lacklustre” compared to rivals.

    After little more than two years on sale, the Camry was withdrawn from UK sale in late 2021. A replacement is not expected as Toyota, like most car companies, is concentrating on SUVs for its larger vehicles.
