2019 Toyota Camry: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026
The 2019 Toyota Camry is a light-update year, not a redesign. The headline change is standard Apple CarPlay on every trim.
About the 2019 Toyota Camry
8th generation (2018-2024), second model year after the redesign.
Toyota positioned the Camry as a midsize sedan that blends everyday dependability with more style and driving appeal than older Camrys were known for. The big themes were safety, comfort, strong fuel economy, and a wider personality spread than before: basic trims for straightforward commuting, sport trims with sharper looks, premium trims with more comfort, and hybrid versions for shoppers who wanted high mpg without giving up sedan practicality.
The 2019 Camry ranges from the straightforward L and comfort-focused LE to the sportier SE and XSE, while the XLE emphasizes a more upscale cabin. Standout features include 18-inch wheels and a rear spoiler on the SE, leather seats and an 8-inch touchscreen on the XLE, and a sport-tuned suspension with 19-inch wheels on the XSE.
What changed, by category
Tech
Apple CarPlay becomes standard across the entire lineup. Premium audio changes from standard to optional on the LE and SE, and the head-up display changes from standard to optional on the XSE.
