Product Overview
Toyota Camry Mk8 (chassis code XV70) is a mid-size sedan in production from 2017. It is available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.5 liters.
Unlike its competitors, the Mk8 Camry still uses naturally-aspirated petrol engines renowned for their reliability. Hybrid is broadly available, while select markets also have access to the petrol-only drivetrain.
Compared to the Mk7 Camry, the Mk8 has a vastly different front-end styling, though the car is rather similar in chassis design.

External Reviews
autocar[1]
Reviewer score 59% (normalized by Neofiliac)Inside, it's large, comfortable, all of the things you expect of a Camry and some things you wouldn’t. There’s also lots of high-strength steel in the body, apparently meaning the A-pillars are thin and the body stiff. The battery for the hybrid system fits beneath the back seats, as does the fuel tank. It won't arrive in the UK until next spring, so Toyota is still to decide on the pricing.
Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Powerful internal combustion engine
- Comfortable ride
Cons
- Not as dynamic as the D-segment

Reviewer score 47% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Toyota Camry is the Japanese manufacturer's answer to large family cars like the Skoda Superb, Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport and Volkswagen Passat. The big saloon majors in comfort and rides very nicely, while standard equipment is so good that you don't need to venture beyond the entry-level model. Poor infotainment holds it back in this department, however.
Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Good standard equipment
Cons
- Poor infotainment
- Lack of standard equipment

Reviewer score 51% (normalized by Neofiliac)The 2.5-litre engine, the motor, the generator and the gears are very compact, allowing a low bonnet. In the back there's a fantastic amount of legroom, and decent headroom. It can fit three adults in the back, and the boot capacity of 524 litres will make light work of their suitcases and cabin bags. Safety kit fitted as standard includes adaptive cruise control and a lane-departure warning system that will help steer you out of trouble.
Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Good standard equipment
- Decent infotainment system
Cons
- Comes with a CVT
- No Apple CarPlay

Reviewer score 67% (normalized by Neofiliac)In daily commuting, the Camry is smooth and easy to drive. The spoiler and the quad exhaust tips are nice touches, but those fake vents have got to go. Adaptive cruise control works in stop-and-go traffic, thank goodness. The eight-way power front seats are as comfortable as they are supportive.
Pros
- Powerful V6 engine
- Comfortable to drive
- Lots of driver assistance tech
Cons
- Lackluster infotainment tech
- No Android Auto

Reviewer score 82% (normalized by Neofiliac)Toyota still offers a potent 3.5-liter V6 engine in the Camry. Power is rated at 301 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive and a smooth, eight-speed automatic transmission come standard. The new TNGA platform results in a 30-percent increase in torsional rigidity.
Pros
- Gorgeous styling
- Excellent safety ratings
- Comfortable to drive
Cons
- Lack of safety features

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)the-line XLE we tested starts at $32,730 and layers on 18-inch silver machine-finish alloy wheels, LED headlights and daytime running lights. Tech additions on the XLE include an 8-inch in-dash touch screen, a 7-inch instrument panel display with customizable settings. The Camry Hybrid's 208 combined horsepower provides good acceleration, but the eCVT audibly complains when pushed.
Pros
- Excellent fuel economy
- High-quality interior
- Competitively priced
Cons
- Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are no longer available
- Alternatives offer more range
