“Overall, the Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE was an excellent choice. It is quiet with minimal road noise, has very smooth acceleration, exhibits very good control, and is sure-footed. It is a gas miser.”
2023 Toyota Camry: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Toyota Camry is a light update rather than a redesign. The main change is a refreshed SE Nightshade Edition with matte-bronze wheels and darker exterior details.
About the 2023 Toyota Camry
8th generation (2018-2024), sixth model year; a late-cycle update year centered on the refreshed SE Nightshade Edition.
Toyota positions the Camry as a dependable midsize sedan with unusually broad choice: fuel-saving hybrid versions, available AWD on four-cylinder models, comfort-focused trims, sport-styled trims, and a V6 performance option. Its core appeal is everyday usability backed by strong safety content, easy-to-live-with controls, solid fuel economy, and Toyota’s reputation for quality and value. Against rivals, the Camry stands out for offering more personalities within one model range instead of pushing every buyer into the same formula.
The lineup ranges from the comfort-focused LE to the sportier SE, upscale XLE and XSE, and the more focused TRD. Notable versions include the XLE with leather-trimmed heated seats and a 9-inch touchscreen, while the TRD pairs a 301-hp V6 with firmer suspension, larger brakes, a sport exhaust, and a bold body kit.

The touchscreen monitor becomes standard on the TRD for 2023.
