2023 Toyota Camry Hybrid Review: Persistence
Time for a bit of word association. Reliable mid-size sedan? A lot of folks will answer the Toyota Camry before any other. Indeed, since 1979, year of its introduction in Canada, the model has been the best-selling midsize sedan in the world with nearly 20 million units sold.
Since its last redesign in 2018, not much has changed for the Toyota Camry. For 2023 a Nightshade package with the SE trim has been added to the catalog. This adorns the car with black rear spoiler, mirror caps and door handles for a more aggressive look. You also get 19-inch bronze wheels that go nicely with the three available colour choices, Midnight Black Metallic, White and Reservoir Blue. For an extra $2,300 on the SE trim, you can "dress up" your Camry as a sports car.
The Camry Hybrid uses a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that develops 176 hp and 163 lb-ft of torque. Two electric motors bring total output to 208 hp aided by a continuously variable automatic transmission . Non-hybrid Camrys are also available with AWD, but this transmission choice is not offered on hybrid versions.The interior of the 2023 Camry is nothing revolutionary, but it's well laid out, inviting and comfortable.
What caught our attention the most were the 19-inch bronze wheels instead of the 18-inch wheels of the traditional SE version. It seems a bit off-base to offer bronze wheels to a clientele that tends to the 45-and-up crowd. Black wheels like on the XSE would have been more appropriate. For our money, this option group can be left unchecked and the Camry's final result will be preserved.
The 2023 Camry SE Hybrid is also equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ technology, which includes a number of safety features like pedestrian and cyclist detection. This safety system also offers exit warning, blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert and rear emergency braking.
