2022 Camry Performance

The Camry ranges from unenthusiastic commuter to genuine thrill ride depending on which model you pick, as well as having hybrid options for those who are more eco-conscious. In the gas lineup, LE models boast a soft, well-mannered demeanor with a 2.5-liter delivering a class-competitive 203 horsepower. At 7.3-seconds to 60 mph, the Camry keeps up with the Honda Accord's turbocharged 1.5-liter engine and bests the naturally-aspirated four-pot in the Mazda 6. Honda and Mazda both have more powerful engine options that will outshine the Camry's base engine, but none of them offer enough power to take on Toyota's mighty V6. The 3.5-liter unit launches the TRD sedan from 0 to 60 mph in around 5.8 seconds according to independent testing, and the XLE gets the job done in around six seconds. The TRD also has a top speed of 135 mph. The base engine performs with more than enough dedication for the daily commute to work and back, or as a runaround. But if you're after something more exciting, the V6 takes the cake. Passing in traffic is far more rewarding, though you'll pay a penalty at the pumps. And if a fuel budget is your main concern, the hybrid lineup brings some fuel economy savings to the table. It brings a combined 208 hp to the table and still managed similar sprint times to the base LE, but with vastly improved gas mileage as the trade-off.

Engine and Transmission

When you're choosing your Camry, you have the choice between three powertrains. LE, SE, and XLE models all get a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine, though horsepower and torque figures vary slightly according to drivetrain choice. LE and SE models produce 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque when FWD-equipped, and 202 hp and 182 lb-ft when AWD-equipped. The same concept applies to the XSE, but figures vary slightly. In FWD guise, the XSE makes 206 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. In AWD guise, it produces 205 hp and 185 lb-ft. These figures are better than the Accord's base engine, which manages 192 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque, and the Mazda 6's least powerful offering which delivers 187 hp and 186 lb-ft. The larger 3.5-liter V6 affords the Camry significantly more power and torque, delivering outputs of 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft. Both the base gas engine and the more powerful V6 are coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission that delivers intuitive and smooth shifts, though we have found the V6 to be better suited to the transmission's ratios. Hybrid models feature a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid setup that makes a combined 208 hp, regulated by an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission, and sent to the front wheels, only.

2022 Camry Gas Mileage

The fuel economy of your Camry depends on whether you opt for the base engine, hybrid, or the V6. There's plenty of variation in terms of gas mileage throughout the Camry range, but the most frugal choice would be the hybrid in base guise. The Camry Hybrid LE earns brilliant 51/53/52 mpg, while the other hybrid models manage 44/47/46 mpg. Gas models are naturally heavier on juice. The LE trim with the 2.5-liter engine returns EPA estimates of 28/39/32 mpg city/highway/combined. The Honda Accord's 1.5-liter turbo only just beats these figures with EPA estimates of 30/38/33 mpg. Returning the heaviest EPA estimates of the lot is the TRD, with figures of 22/31/25 mpg, which are still impressive for such a potent engine. Fuel tank capacity on FWD models is 15.8 gallons, while AWD models have 14.4 gallons. Hybrids get only 13.2 gallons. On a full tank, lower gas trims with FWD can manage around 500 miles of range on the combined cycle while the V6 allows for around 395 miles. Hybrids will get 686 miles in the base trim.
