7th Gen Camry

The modern Toyota Camry is the best yet. Used Toyota Camry buyers will love its premium fuel economy, high-tech infotainment gear, and world-class safety. Inside, the Camry is more luxurious than ever. Once again, the Camry feels roomier than previous models. Up front, it’s easy to find an optimal position behind the wheel. The rear seatbacks recline at the perfect angle for long-term comfort. Tech innovations, including the Entune infotainment system, keep you connected on the go. Smartphone integration makes it easy to make hands-free calls or stream Internet radio stations.

Under the hood, the Toyota Camry’s 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is more powerful than ever, serving up 178 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. If you’re in need of more kick, shop around for the 3.5-liter V6, which churns out 268 horses and 248 pound-feet of torque. Thanks to the new electric-assisted steering, the Camry feels sharp and controlled in any situation.

Safety has come a long way over the years, and the seventh-generation Toyota Camry is a major competitor in this category. In government crash tests, it earned a perfect five-star rating for overall protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Camry its top score of “Good.” For the 2013 model year, the Camry introduced high-tech gear, like blind-spot monitoring, designed to scan your surroundings and alert you to immediate danger.
