The new engine and transmission system have brought a youthful and more personality design, improved convenience, and enhanced driving experience to the Toyota Camry 2022. This rejuvenated model has become more comprehensive, posing a challenge to competitors in the same segment.
The Toyota Camry – an iconic sedan model
As a symbol of the Toyota brand globally, the Camry is considered the Toyota Corolla’s elder sibling. Launching in Japan in 1980 and the US in 1983, the Toyota Camry has always been a reliable and durable model, catering to the needs of the majority of customers.
For over 20 years, except for 2011, the Toyota Camry has consistently held the title of the best-selling car in the US. It has sold over 18 million vehicles globally in the past four decades across 7 generations. With a stable annual sales figure in the six digits, the Toyota Camry remains a standard sedan model.
In Vietnam, the Toyota Camry is considered a symbol of luxury, high-end, and power, even earning the title “Minister’s car” in the eyes of consumers.
So how has Toyota maintained Camry’s pioneering position for decades? Let’s delve into the latest generation, the Toyota Camry 2022, which embodies the spirit of “No more boring cars” and find the answer.
Youthful and eye-catching design
With the aim of creating more interesting products and bringing enthusiasm and excitement to drivers, the 7th generation Camry 2022 adopts a youthful and aggressive exterior design. The trapezoidal-shaped chrome-plated front grille and front bumper give depth to the Toyota logo, making the face of the car more prominent. The widened “mouth” below the front bumper and embossed lines on the bonnet accentuate the Camry’s personality and aggressiveness.
The bi-LED headlights, accompanied by slim J-shaped daytime running lights, make the “eyes” of the Camry 2022 stand out, adding soul and improving driving visibility at night. Placing the side mirrors below the doors reduces blind spots and enhances the car’s athletic appearance, resembling European-American sedans.
Chrome trim around the window edges reminds of the Camry’s high-end position. The 18-inch two-color alloy wheels with a multi-spoke design are eye-catching, adding youthfulness and making the car stand out. The gently molded rear trunk lid and modern curved brake lights create a sporty style for the rear end.
These small changes rejuvenate the overall appearance of the 2022 Camry. The excitement starts at first sight, when encountering the neatly parked sedan on the street. Let’s step inside to discover more.
Luxurious, convenient, modern interior
The spacious interior of the Camry offers comfort and practicality. Whether in the front or rear seats, passengers can recline comfortably with plenty of headroom and shoulder width, perfect for long journeys without fatigue.
The wood grain mockup around the center console, gear lever, and electronic parking brake buttons adds luxury and sophistication. The sunroof makes the interior space more airy and receives ample sunlight. The automatic air conditioning with three separate climate zones for the driver, passenger, and rear seat passengers ensures each person’s comfort.
The Toyota Camry 2022 boasts a full range of “playful” features. The 9-inch touch screen entertainment center above the dashboard integrates wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless charging. The 9 JBL speaker audio system satisfies passengers’ entertainment needs.
The driver’s seat reflects the spirit of “No more boring cars.” The head-up display on the windshield personalizes the vehicle’s operation information display based on the driver’s preferences. The classic design of the tachometer and speedometer, complemented by a multifunction information display, allows convenient monitoring of the vehicle’s operating status, especially safety features within the TSS technology package.
Behind the steering wheel, paddle shifters provide the excitement of a rejuvenated sedan. The Camry also offers three driving modes: Eco/Normal/Sport, catering to young entrepreneurs who prefer driving themselves. The 2022 Camry is equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense safety technology package, with buttons conveniently positioned on both sides of the steering wheel.
Great attention has been paid to the rear seats, originally designed for true masters. Hidden touch panel cluster controls for temperature, electric blinds, power-tilt/recline, and audio options emphasize the rear seat passengers’ control over everything around them. The Toyota Camry is the only model in its segment equipped with this “empowered” control system.
The Toyota Camry 2022 offers abundant amenities, making it a comprehensive choice. The sporty elements attract young potential customers, while the fully equipped and comfortable luxury model appeals to rear seat passengers.
Enhanced driving experience
The 2022 Camry is equipped with the latest Dynamic Force generation engine. The engine provides more efficient fuel consumption and improved power by optimizing various aspects. The M20A-FKS engine paired with the Direct Shift CVT transmission delivers 170 horsepower and 206 Nm of torque. The Camry offers smooth acceleration, ensuring comfort without jerking.
Moreover, the 2.5L engine provides enhanced power for drivers. The highest premium version features the 2.5L engine along with leading Hybrid technology, offering the most comfortable and fuel-efficient operation while achieving superior performance compared to models using traditional engines.
Aside from the new generation Dynamic Force engine, the 2022 Camry is equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense safety technology package. This system ensures safe operation, minimizing the possibility of collisions, especially in complex conditions such as urban traffic or unfavorable weather conditions.
In summary, the Camry’s leading position and business success in the D-segment sedan segment are well-deserved. The 2022 Camry embodies a rejuvenated spirit, offering a sporty driving experience and prioritizing passenger safety. With a starting price of 1.05 billion VND, the Toyota Camry 2022 provides a worthwhile and comprehensive choice, competing with its rivals with a more youthful and personalized approach.

Honda Accord: 40 Years of Automotive Excellence
Looking at the Vietnamese car market right now and humorously comparing it, we will see Camry as a well-behaved young girl, not outstanding in every aspect but easily becoming the choice of the “other half”. Teana, on the other hand, is like a dignified and tranquil woman, full of courage. Meanwhile, Mazda6 is like a hot girl, quickly attracting and captivating anyone’s gaze from the first encounter. As for Accord – with the elegance and experiences of a U30 lady, even though she is always praised by everyone, she hides something “difficult to deal with” in the minds of the majority.
