The Toyota Camry has been a driver favorite for years, so it’s no surprise to see that the 2020 Toyota Camry is as beloved as any previous model. This reliable family sedan continues to please with upgraded safety features, excellent fuel economy, and racier designs that make it a joy to drive!
Because of the Changes
There have been some big changes in 2020, and they’re all too good to believe! Toyota knows its iconic ride is a standard favorite for parents of small families and those looking for rock-solid reliability, but they’ve now put some extra effort into performance by turning over some of the design to the Toyota Racing Development team.
That means some more interesting styling, re-tuned dampers with stiffer springs for a lower ride, upgraded brakes and a TRD-specific exhaust, more aerodynamics in the designs, and stronger bracing throughout.
Because of the Performance
While the standard engine (a 4-cylinder with 8-speed automatic transmission that also comes in a hybrid version) is fun to drive, you’ll really appreciate the V-6 available on the XLE and XSE trims. This 301-hp monster has responsive handling with steering that feels strong on the curves and light at slow-speed tight corners (like in the parking lot). The brakes are not too soft, either.
Because of the Fuel Economy
No one loves seeing their paycheck splash out at the gas pump, and the entire line of 2020 Camrys performs well in this regard. Obviously, the hybrid is going to get you great overall economy at 44mpg, but amazingly, the SE with its fuel-sipping 4-cylinders will actually get you 45mpg. In fact, a lot of testers are saying the SE is the most economical non-hybrid car they’ve ever seen.
Because of the Safety
Safety features are standard on the best vehicles these days, so it’s no surprise that Toyota is leading the way with this vehicle, which has always been one of their safest anyway. The anti-roll bars are stronger now for greater protection even if the worst should happen.
All trims come with adaptive cruise controls, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, forward-collision warning, and automatic emergency braking standard–you don’t have to pay extra for these features as you do with some other manufacturers. The NHTSA gives the Camry a five-star rating, and the IIHS calls the Camry a top pick for safety (as they do nearly every year).
Because of the Comfort and Features
It goes without saying that the higher trims are going to be more luxurious, but you get the same spacious comfort no matter which trim you choose. There’s enough cargo space for all the kids’ stuff, and with the rear seat folded down, even we were shocked by how much could fit in there. If you are leery of the hybrid because you know older models put the space-hogging battery in the trunk, don’t worry: they’ve been moved to under the seats in the rear.
