The market for family sedans has been greatly affected by the popularity of SUVs and pickup trucks, but there are still some sedan models that continue to sell well, such as the Toyota Camry. In fact, the Camry is currently the 5th best-selling car in the US market and the top-selling passenger car in 2022.

To keep up with its appeal, Toyota has introduced the new generation of the Camry at the ongoing Los Angeles Auto Show 2023. While the sedan doesn’t undergo a complete transformation, it does evolve in a different direction.

Exterior Design of Toyota Camry 2024

The design of the Toyota Camry 2024 shows clear influence from the new generation Prius and Crown. This can be seen especially in the front area of the car, which features a design inspired by a hammerhead shark. The sedan adopts the new design language of the Toyota brand, with a narrow upper grille integrated with a radar housing for advanced ADAS driving assistance features. The headlights are smaller, and there’s a new “V” shaped LED daytime running light strip.

On the front bumper, Toyota has added a large-sized grille with a hexagonal honeycomb pattern for the sporty XSE version or horizontal slats for the regular version. The car also features new vertical air vents on the corners.

These details have been improved to fit the new generation, and the XSE version also features additional air diffusers and dual exhaust outlets below the rear bumper.
