What do we learn from the 2024 Toyota Camry’s list of pros?

Across these four experts, we see several mentions of the V6 engine’s power. This powertrain gives Camry drivers a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. This power is sent to the front wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. This is a huge step up from the 202 horsepower delivered by the smaller 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine.

Two expert opinions discuss the impressive list of safety features. These features are part of the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ suite, which gives owners:

• Adaptive cruise control
• Lane keep assist
• Lane departure warning
• Automatic emergency braking
• Road sign recognition
• Automatic high-beam headlights

Higher trims add the benefits of blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts.

What do we learn from the 2024 Camry’s list of cons?

The current Camry is due for a new generation, especially if Toyota intends to keep up with Honda’s Accord. The Camry is a little dull and boring, which comes with the midsize sedan territory, but it also seems too loud and cramped compared to other sedans.

Compared to the Honda Accord and Kia K5, the Toyota Camry has the smallest trunk and tightest front leg space.

	2024 Toyota Camry	2024 Honda Accord	2024 Kia K5
Trunk Space	15.1 cu-ft	16.7 cu-ft	16.0 cu-ft
Front Legroom	42.1 inches	42.3 inches	46.1 inches
Rear Legroom	38.0 inches	40.8 inches	35.2 inches

Overall, the 2024 Toyota Camry is exactly what you expect. It’s a reliable, safe, and useful midsize sedan that works great for families of five or fewer members. The TRD model adds a bit of pep with the V6 engine, but most versions provide the expected level of practical driving.
