　　Kurt Niebuhr has worked in the automotive industry since 2005. A automotive photographer by trade, Kurt is now one of zzdcar' high-performance test drivers. He's driven and photographed hundreds, if not thousands, of vehicles all over the world, so Kurt's library of automotive experiences would certainly make for a good book. When not dreaming about getting his racing license or trying to buy out-of-date film for his cameras, Kurt can usually be found cursing at his 1966 Mustang.

　　The Camry might be the most recognizable among Toyota's lineup of household name vehicles. The 2024 Toyota Camry is a popular midsize sedan available with traditional gas and hybrid engine options. We love the Camry for its spacious interior with plenty of room for passengers in both rows, as well as the generous trunk size. It's not exactly a firework to drive, but the Camry is one of the few sedans in the class to offer all-wheel drive, making it a better option for buyers in cold climates.

　　This will be the last year for the current generation Camry. A full redesign is expected for the 2025 model year. Some shoppers might be tempted to wait, which makes sense. But this 2024 Camry is still a solid pick for a midsize sedan even though it's getting dated compared to the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata. Check out our test team's Expert Rating to get a complete rundown of the car's hits and misses.

Performance

7.5/10

　　How does the Camry drive? We tested the four-cylinder Camry SE. Toyota has optimized it to get high fuel economy, but the trade-off is rather sluggish acceleration off the line. Our test car accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in an unimpressive 8.2 seconds, though it feels a little zestier than that in the real world. The transmission helps make up for this a bit with reasonably good response and quick shifting. With eight speeds, there's always a gear for the occasion, but expect two-gear downshifts when you dip into gas as it tries to make do with the available engine power.

　　The Camry SE benefits from a slightly sportier suspension, which lends a more hunkered-down feel. It's not set up for truly aggressive driving, but it'll handle anything the average driver is bound to throw at it on a daily basis. The brakes are also easy to control with a light and responsive pedal, and the Camry's stopping performance is about average for the segment.

　　

Comfort

7.5/10

　　How comfortable is the Camry? Big, comfortable seats and a smooth ride mean the Camry will suit a wide range of drivers even on long trips. Add in a powerful, easy-to-use climate control system that can cool the cabin effectively, even in triple-digit temperatures, and the Camry provides a pleasant cabin environment for anyone along for the ride.

　　Its biggest flaw here is that the Camry lets in too much outside noise. You'll hear a prominent engine buzz when you're accelerating and noticeable wind and road noise at freeway speeds. The Camry is definitely noisier than average for a midsize sedan.
