(November 15, 2021) PLANO, Texas — The 2022 Toyota Camry continues to take the midsize sedan and evolve it for the better. Whether it’s giving adventures a confidence boost with AWD, enhancing daily commutes with the efficient and dynamic hybrid or the pulse raising TRD, there’s a Camry fit for every lifestyle. With its most diverse lineup ever, Camry is on track to retain America’s No. 1 Selling Passenger Car title for the 20th consecutive year.

Customers can take their style further in the new SE Hybrid Nightshade, featuring 18-inch black wheels, black shark fin antenna, window trim, badging, door handles and mirror caps. All Camry models for 2022 also get a dose of tech and luxury with a floating multimedia screen in 7-inch or 9-inch sizes, plus a herringbone seat pattern on the XLE grade. Distinctive front ends lend unique looks among the various Camry grades.

All told, the 2022 Camry offers 18 different choices in the midsize sedan segment today. Those choices include:

    •    Three V6 grades – XLE, XSE and TRD
    •    Five 4-cyl. FWD grades – LE, XLE, SE, SE Nightshade and XSE
    •    Five 4-cyl. AWD grades – LE, XLE, SE, SE Nightshade and XSE
    •    Five hybrid grades – LE, XLE, SE, SE Nightshade (new) and XSE

The wide array of choices plus Camry’s alluring, coupe-inspired design and renowned Toyota quality and value are reasons why Camry maintains leadership in the midsize sedan category. Camry holds its status as America’s favorite midsize sedan for 20 years running and is one of the longest-running nameplates in the auto industry.

A bold look up front distinguishes the comfort-oriented LE and XLE grades from the sport-oriented SE and XSE for 2022. The front fascia for the Camry LE and XLE grades shows a more defined lower intake area. The gas version of the LE grade also features a 17-inch alloy wheel design, while the XLE features an 18-inch alloy wheel. The SE and XSE grades show off a bolder lower fascia shape featuring a honeycomb style grille and side vent inserts, plus side vent accents. On hybrid models, the Toyota Hybrid badging will be included on trunk lid only.

Accentuating the design, the 2022 Camry augments its exterior paint palette with previous TRD exclusive Ice Edge, replacing Galactic Aqua, and a new exclusive color for the Camry TRD, two-tone Cavalry Blue with Midnight Black Metallic roof. The XSE grades continue to offer the two-tone body and roof color combinations of Supersonic Red, Wind Chill Pearl or Celestial Silver Metallic paired with a Midnight Black Metallic roof and rear spoiler.

The performance-tuned Camry TRD, which debuted for 2020, keeps its exclusive, aero-enhanced design. The 2022 Camry TRD comes standard with Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, plus heated exterior mirrors. Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert remain standalone options on LE, SE and SE Nightshade grades. XSE and XLE grades already have those features as standard.

Toyota is a pioneering force in the adoption of Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) ever since it made the advanced safety features standard across many of its model lineup for 2017, five years ahead of the voluntary commitment by many OEMs with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to make it standard on virtually all light vehicles. For 2022, the Camry comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ (TSS 2.5+) safety system.

TSS 2.5+ includes a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD). TSS 2.5+ capabilities’ make it possible for the system to help detect not only the vehicle ahead but also a preceding bicyclist in daytime and even a preceding pedestrian in low-light conditions. TSS 2.5+ also enhances the PCS w/PD system with intersection support.

At intersections, the system may detect an oncoming vehicle or pedestrian when performing a left-hand turn and may provide audio/visual alerts and automatic braking in certain conditions. Additional PCS functions include emergency steering assist, which is designed to stabilize the driver’s emergency steering maneuvers within their lane while avoiding a preceding pedestrian, bicyclist or vehicle.
