2022 Toyota Camry: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2022 Toyota Camry is the addition of the SE Hybrid Nightshade Edition. Otherwise, this is a light-update year, with added comfort equipment for gas-powered LE and SE models rather than a redesign.
About the 2022 Toyota Camry
8th generation (2018-2024), second year after the 2021 styling and tech update.
Toyota positions the Camry as a midsize sedan with unusually wide choice for this class: comfort-focused trims, sport-themed trims, a fuel-saving hybrid lineup, available AWD on select gas models, and a V6/TRD performance branch. For most shoppers, the Camry’s appeal is simple daily usability with strong safety tech, a roomy cabin, and Toyota’s long-standing reputation for durability, while still offering more variety than many rival family sedans.
The 2022 Camry ranges from the practical LE to the comfort-focused XLE, the sportier XSE, and the performance-oriented TRD. Notable features include a 9-inch touchscreen and heated leather seats on XLE, while TRD uses a 301-horsepower V6, a firmer suspension, and unique aerodynamic body pieces.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The SE Nightshade Edition gained a hybrid version, bringing the dark Nightshade appearance package to the Camry Hybrid lineup for the first time.

What owners are saying about the 2022 Toyota Camry.
4.3
2022 Toyota Camry
(549 reviews)
“Economic choice that looks good, modern, and moves good enough for a bustling city.”
“What I am missing in this car - automatic driver's seat goes back to allow for easier exiting, entering. Also, lights behind more of the indicators - gas, trunk release, so you can see them in the dark. Ability to turn off sound of lane departure when you want.”
