2018 Toyota Camry - Review and Road Test
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 08. 2024
- The Toyota Camry might be a hot seller but it’s not the most thrilling midsize sedan. With the 8th-generation model Toyota aimed to infuse emotion into their mainstream Camry sedan by cranking up its style quotient. Nonetheless, this new, edgier Camry has been carefully engineered to not alienate Toyota loyalists. Offering strong value, a robust standard safety roster, excellent resale values, and a range of efficient engines, including a fuel-sipping hybrid model, the 2018 Camry is poised to be the best Camry yet. Join Kelley Blue Book’s Micah Muzio as he puts the latest Toyota Camry to the test.

I'm already seeing these daily, it's a great car! 10 years later it'll still be worth more than $5K and will be problem free!
LexusReyes well I don't give my personal information to strangers.
Mopar unreliable If there is anything to assume it would be that. 20 years of agreeable records dictate my comment.
Mopar unreliable well if it’s not your business then why you commenting.
It depends on who makes the "assumptions", sir.
You actually need to speak to individuals who make living either repairing all car makers' models, preferably speaking to them off their work site in a casual setting and manner, like a buddy to to a buddy, and with those who have no reason to be biased, with them just using first hand experience, straight facts and numbers, and/or those who have had an UNDISPUTED and UNBIASED reputation of reviewing car brands and models which, I concede, are very hard to come by these days, as money talks. However, there aren't impossible to search for and find, if one puts in an effort.
Toyota and, LEXUS in particular, have dominated the reliability, the resale value, the level of depreciation and dependability for so long, that it can hardly be any longer based on assumptions.
The case in point, my beloved LEXUS Team have installed top notch electronics into their models ever since 1989, and lo and behold, electronics have held up more than fine over the decades.
Keep it in mind, sir, that the Japanese take true and, quite frankly, almost unprecedented pride in making cars, which they build with great quality, care and ridiculously close attention to detail, the masterpiece and the pinnacle of craftsmanship and artisanship called LS 500 comes to mind, and that if something does go wrong on any model, they will promptly identify the problem and fix it, as we have witnessed before.
For sure! They never die, just requires brakes, tires and oil!
Yep I just purchased the 2018 Camry SE in gray mica, its definitely a winner! Got the technology and convenience packages, and every time I drive it, I'm amazed!
Do you still have it? How Is it holding? I'm planning of buying one to just want to get feedback
Me walking into a dealership to get this car: "Here comes the weekend!"
😂😂😂
Best in class, I don't expect anything less from Toyota.
Toyota and Lexus are my two fav!!
HodsBroo Agreed :)
#ToyotasRock
Here in NYC if you drive any camry you'll be mistaken for a cab driver.
Cab? The last generation was short on rear passenger headroom and this is even worse. I'll wait for a Sienna taxi next time I'm in NYC.
Also in NYC, people will question why you bought a Camry instead of a BMW, Cadillac, etc. Or just think you're from out of town.
Maximus Orion does that include the XSE trim?
@@razor3106 BMW, Caddy, Audi, MB are ALL garbage before the warranty runs out ! LMAO
Those new Accords with direct injection turbo engines will all blow up in 5 years because most people don't even know how to maintain their cars, and no those engines will require more than just a routine oil change when it hits 30k miles. People who say the current Accord is better have NO CLUE about cars.
Some say accord turbo are reliable. But i prefer a natural aspirated v6
The 2018 Toyota Camry is the first family sedan with a base engine making over 200hp, which is impressive for a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine. Over 25 years ago, a Toyota Camry with a V6 engine made around 200 hp.
A 25 year old Camry V6 had 185 HP.
Such a excellent car! Average space, Beautiful interior, Fun car. I'm glad he reviewed this 2018 camry! 😁🏎
Why not use the SE for review, most people will purchase that trim level.

It is nice to wake up in Christmas day, open CZcams and find a KBB new funny video with Micah. Happy Holidays.
Excellent video and review!
" Here comes the weeeekend 👋👋" Hilarious.
I rented a 2018 Camry for 6 days and, with the exception of good gas mileage, I thought it was awful. I’m 5’11 and 190.
A few issues I had:
-Every time I got in I hit my head on the rearview mirror.
-The contoured seats made it difficult to get in and out.
-If you need to retrieve an item from the front passenger floor, you’ll need to either get out and walk around to the other side, or get up on your knees on the drivers seat to reach down.
-The window ledge is too high to comfortably support your elbow and forearm.
-You feel like you’re sitting in a 50 gallon drum just with more padding.
-If you’re in an accident they’ll have to use the “jaws of life” to extricate you. Hell, I almost had to call the rescue squad to get me out when I stopped for gas.
-The doors are eight feet long. You will hit every car you park next to and every gas pump you stop at.
-Because the doors are eight feet long, you have to close them halfway before you get in, otherwise you won’t be able to reach the door handle.
-You have to be a yoga master to reach back for the seatbelt since they put it about a foot behind the drivers head. Try touching your left shoulder blade with your right hand while touching your right forearm to your left ear. I did this 8 times a day for 6 days. Now I’m addicted to opioids.
Look, I’ve rented some crappy cars over the years and I’m not proud of it, but this Camry sucked the joy out of my life for almost a week.
When the rental agency asked if I wanted their insurance I think they were talking about the mental therapy sessions I’d need when I returned it.
I should have said yes 😞
Jesus. Anything else?? 😂
try an accord
Great review! Bought my ‘18 in July ‘23. Drives very smooth! It is VERY low to the ground, so weak knees are not encouraged! Great gas mileage. Plenty of room everywhere. The trunk is deep and holds tons! My second Camry ever.
I really liked the 2012-2014 model Camry but the refresh in 2015 wasn't the most attractive in my opinion. However, this new version makes me want to upgrade from my 14.5 model.
Bad Drivers of Maryland I have 14.5 also! I like that it’s smooth but it shifts so rough when it’s cold and downshifts hard when I hit the gas hard on the highway. Other than that I love it :( does yours have any of those quirks?
LOVE my 2014.5 SE... i upgraded from a 2013, definitely felt the difference.. my sister has a 2015, interior looks wonderful.. exterior... meh, not so much.. but these 2018s man... gosh, i love them! as for your shifting issue.. have you tried to switch the gas you use? i notice my car shifts rough when i use gas other than Shell... (or maybe it's all in my head.. i am partial to Shell gas)
I agree with you. The 2012-2014 SE was great looking.
So the BEST JUST GOT BETTER...
Junky DIY guy Lol 😂
Junky DIY guy the best at what?
If you're talking about the Accord, then yes
Are you talking about Accord, yeah?
If yes, I agrre
Junky DIY guy ... I agree the Honda Accord is the best and just got better
Toyota has always given more reliable vehicles. Honda Fan boys might want to research "Honda Complaints" vs "Toyota Complaints". You will see Honda has double the complaints while they have 1/10 the number of Toyota's. Bottom line, Toyota is Luxury and Honda is Speed, you choose. PS. Toyota is heavier, better safety and quieter drive.
Both cars have always been known for reliability and functionality. The reason why someone would choose one over the other would be a matter of taste, merely.
I personally prefer the Accord, it just feels better to drive and to me it looks better, but the Camry is not a car that raises many complaints.
Lol Toyota is not luxurious. Sure it has luxury features but so do most cars nowadays. That's not why people buy Toyota's
Best Christmas present yet! Nothing better than a KBB review.
Also Did Micah sound a little congested to anyone else? Get better soon dude (provided you're sick).
Im Here for Micah, was good brother
Anykinds Matthew Cheers!!
This new Camry is a huge step up compared to it's predecessor well done Toyota 👌👍👍
Hey Merry Christmas Kelly blue book in the whole staff you guys have been putting out some awesome content the entire year with great jokes and commentary once again great job
Awesome video and great humor (here comes the weekend!)
Here comes the weeeeekendd!
Vivek Promo2 cringe
hilarious
Friday!!!
Lmfao
Okay that RC truck jumping the slope of the folding seats was so random 🤣🤣
Only idiots buy a car for Apple play or Android. We want dependability!!
MrRedskins0021 I couldn’t agree more with you so sick of hearing about car play and android auto. I have an xle model and bought it because of dependability not all just for technology.
ya'll haven't tried apple play then, us who are complaining about the lack of apple play have it right now.
Unknown Entity oh yes I’ve tried it my wife’s 2017 Malibu has it so I’m very familiar with it. I have entune in my 2017 Camry xle I love it it does everything CarPlay does I’m very happy with it.
agreed! i have a 2014.5 SE with Nav/Entune.. i can read/send texts from the head unit, my Nav gives WAY better directions than my Google Maps, and of course i can play music from my phone through bluetooth.. maybe i am missing something here, but isn't that what Apple Play and Android Auto do? Oh, and i am controlling all of this through my steering wheel.. maybe people should just consider getting a higher trim Camry if you want those conveniences.... oh, but way.. most of these YT trolls can't even afford base trim Camry's or Accords.. they are just here to troll...
Phrench Vanilla I agree they're bums
Micah does the funniest but serious car reviews out there. But how many takes did it take to say the “weekend” jokes without cracking up?
Merry Christmas to Micah, and the Gang over at Edmunds who i’ve been using for all things automotive since 1990’s. Hope you’re feeling better Micah.
It is christmas 😆😆 Been waiting for this video
who knew KBB reviews would be so good and funny!
2018 camry sales are up 33% where all the midsize sedans are down 10% for accord, 17% fusion, 20% mazda6 and ............kia optima hyundai sonata ...............are down atleast 30% or more. ford fusion are consistently dropping 10% every year this year was a major drop by 22%. ford decided to discontinue ford fusion and continue in suv's only.
I have the XSE V6 in Pearl and Black roof with the Red Leather interior, 19 inch rims, Love it!!! Wish you did the review on the. The sport model Instead of the LE model. The sport models do have sport tuned suspension and some other things that really make it a deferent car. Test drive both and you can tell them apart from there handling too.
my parents have an XLE in Blizzard Pearl with black leather interior... i love it except for the fact that the front doesn't look as aggressive as the other models, and it doesn't have the black grill-like streak under the outer sides of the tail lights. My mom always drives it in Eco mode and I always ask her to do sport mode..
Nice! I have the mode settings as well. Sport mode definitely is more fun to drive in! However it does use more fuel as it titans of the power steering and revs high. Around the city with all the starts and stops is where eco mode really can save some fuel. But on the freeway or a Mountain Pass Road the sport mode is definitely my choice. Worth the little extra fuel consumption.
I pay about $300 Canadian a month in fuel on mine averaging a combined 9.8 L per 100kms (so far I’ve done 9,000kms on it) when your the one paying for the car and the gas it’s nice to save a little sometimes haha.
As they say, drive a fast car slow!
Miguel Medina unfortunately it will not let me phots photos here to CZcams but check out my public Facebook and Instagram pages for photos and videos of my cars. Facebook: Matthew Boudot Instagrams: matthewboudot
I agree. It's a thrilling ride when you're in sports mode on the highway! If I were in the car and I didn't know what model or brand, a Camry definitely wouldn't be my first guess!
Matthew Boudot you went crazy lol
Thank you kbb for finally doing a review on the new Camry even though it took you all forever.
Drove LE model today and what I noticed it's pretty smooth ... they changed the way to set up side mirrors from circle button to switch-stick ( no no on road it's not easy and intuitive), rear window is mush smaller than in my 2017 SE model and because of high headrests on back seats you'll see much less when you look in a middle mirror( 👎)lane assistant works very good and fast( 👌),
No CD and I don't even talk about CD changer which I had in my 2011 XLE model (👎👎👎), scout gps looks good but I gonna try it tomorrow and gonna add comment about it, side mirrors more Square at ends than 2016-2017 models which I really love(👌👌👌)... that's all which I noticed for few first hours of driving...
you say there is no CD player but i have a CD player in my XSE🤔, so maybe it’s in the higher trims.
I was actually considering switching from Accord to Camry. But when i went to test drive a Camry V6 i was told that there was an issue with the fuel lines, so i couldn’t drive one at that time. So for those calling out Accord issues, there’s one you can call your local Toyota dealership about.
I have an 18 Camry...7 k miles in...best Camry ever (previously had a 17, 14 and 2011). thanks
Thank you for sharing and the appreciation
No mention about ride quality, steering feel, driving position, seat quality, interior materials? I was expecting more info.
couple weeks ago fixed my friend 2012 Camry she hit the front bumper really light but what a surprise two screws one on each side, 4 under holding the water splash shield and like 6 plastic clips hold the grill and bumper top people said that audis or vw are a pain but they are well built on my opinion I like the camry
I looked at a 2018 Camry today and was disappointed. The center console wrapped around me in a way that made me feel trapped. That would really take some getting used to.
Lol this was entertaining! “Here comes the weekend!”
They should review the honda pilot that is in almost every parking or city driving shot. Must be one of the producer's
"won't torpedo your fiance over the long haul." I drive a C300, and that's why I am here..
LOL! We are living the same life. 2013 C350 over here
I won't lie, I was smiling while watching this.
Been waiting for a long time for this
Base Camry boots are smaller because they get a full-size spare wheel - I had trouble in working that out as well. (At least that's the case on Australian models.)
Hahaha here comes the weeeekendddd! Love it man keep ‘em coming
These cars just don't die!
Is the Camry in the video an le? To me the sev6 models look much better
Señor Loco I love the XSE v6 W red interior. The red interior is 😍gorgeous😍
What problem you have with the post office?
That intro was hilarious I loved it🤣🤣
The most best/reliable/dependable/typical cab driver/predictable/responsible/high school/college/soccer mom or dad choice in it's class! Hands down!
Here's comes the weekend!!! 🤣🙃🤹 So hilarious! I use to have the 1990 Camry and the 2010 both literally gave me the best 300k time of my life on both cars !
I would get one for my future kids but not for me hahahaha time for a Real mid life crisis sports car lmao 😂
Great review. It was fun to watch.
I still think the 2012-2014 SE V6 was one of the best looking Camrys ever made
Agreed.
Ditto
The best car in its segment.
EDDY SENG in what segment... not the midsize one. 2018 Mazda6 shits all over this thing
@@mbenton6 but not in sales, lol
@@hurleylee5754 people buying Toyota don't test drive other cars. The camry is an impulse buy. If they test drove the mazda 6 they would not have bought the camry. People are robots they buy camry and accords not knowing that mazda beat toyota and honda for the number two spot. Now going for lexus
@@mbenton6 or they just don't like Mazda. Loyalty to the brand too is a key effect. Reliability also.
@@hurleylee5754 mazda has beat toyota fir the # 2 spot but people don't care to do research. Its hard to sway loyal people
Hey KBB guys! May you please give your opinions on and do a review on both the 2018 Toyota Sequoia Platinum and 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser? It would be amazing and extremely helpful. Thanks!
We'll do our best! In the meantime, you can check out reviews of the Sequoia and Land Cruiser on our website 😁
2018 Sequoia: www.kbb.com/toyota/sequoia/2018/
2018 Land Cruiser: www.kbb.com/toyota/land-cruiser/2018/
I'm so happy with my 2018 Camry LE, I bought it just when they were coming to dealers, and what makes me more happy is that the first batch, and my Camry is japan made, it really looks sexy in black, and i love its size, i upgraded from a 2007 corolla so obviously a lot of tech that i was once not used to, so im somewhat ok without the carplay.
Shahzeb Noorani The Honda Accord LX is better still in my opinion
I also purchased a new 2018 Camry LE for $24,000 Venice ,Florida . Now 30,000 miles. The engine and transmission are a great match. 203 hp-8 speed shiftable Tran. I use that everyday. Great for having more control. The interior works well for me with its clearer appearance. I also had no problem linking my LG phone to the Bluetooth. I also ride with 30 psi tire pressure in summer for a better ride , that the 16 inch tires with the LE give me. Paying more money (SE) for a harsher ride , made no sense to me. I am very happy with my car.
I see these in traffic all the time. It really bothers me how small the brake lights are.
The Altima needs a makeover
I just saw spy shots of the 2019 Altima's interior. It's going to be nice similar to the Accord and Mazda6 in a way! www.google.com/search?q=2019+nissan+altima&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiYt_e116bYAhVLUd8KHRkfBGkQ_AUICygC&biw=1920&bih=963
Nissan's are trash now, ask a mechanic that is a friend and he will say don't buy a Nissan, ask a mechanic that is not your friend and he will say buy a Nissan. Beware DONT BUY NISSAN.
My car is not even Hybrid but needs on average just 55mpg...
So yeah 😂
Diesel? Here in Europe you cant drive those to city center lol
"Most Camrys will come with the standard 4 cyclinder" Most reviews from the typical youtubers have been either the V6 or the Hybrid. Can't find a high quality review of the new Dynamic Force engine which most buyers will actually buy.
I have heard rough shifting with the 8 speed transmission. Any truth to that?
I think you guys should do a compare video on mid-sized family sedans in their sporty trims to see if those vehicles can live up their sporty performance or is the sport just for aesthetics..
Michaaahhh! Marry crimmus and Happy holidays to you and yours brother!
Ike Phipps Back atcha!!!
Really wish Toyota would suck it up and start accepting that Apple CarPlay is the market trend. I was in the market for a fuel efficient, comfortable commuter car and was considering the Camry but opted for a higher trim Civic instead for this reason alone. Before anyone goes off on these being two different classes of vehicles the Civic has gotten quite large, the Camry posts similar mpg numbers with the four cylinder, and the LE trim was within spitting distance price-wise of a Civic EX-L with Sensing.
Windgrace I really don't know what Toyota's problem is Android auto/car play. From what I've gathered, they're concerned about security? Yea right, then they offer that scout gps thing which is basically like Android auto which mirrors your phone, so what tf is their issue?
Yeah I don't get it.
I agree. But I don't understand buying a car just for those 2 features. What were you guys doing before AA and AC came out?
That's not really an excuse for Toyota to not offer the latest tech that consumers by and large want in their vehicle in 2017. Your statement could apply for any car tech. People were fine without niceties like adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring, but the market now demands those features and that's why automakers are starting to integrate those features as standard. Toyota is just being stubborn about AA/AC.
Phone plugged in to charge sitting on lap for directions from google maps.
It's not so much as buying a car just for android auto or carplay, but when new cars are so competitive, it's often the small stuff that you decide on. Android auto and Carplay just make sense. Why the hell should we rely on an auto manufacturer to do what smartphone manufacturers already do 10 times better?
Merry christmas!
Awesome video! This generation Camry is so far apart from the previous year.
Everybody complains about lack of AndroidAuto/CarPlay, but they're unusable for me because I sometimes like to stream audio through my web browser (not allowed through AA) or CZcams or even just a 3rd-party app. Literally every car from one with an old-school radio with an AUX port to the latest system with AA/CP are not appreciably different to me.
Are there really so few other people who listen to audio stream this way that lack of smartphone integration is even worth mentioning?
No mention of th Mazda6 ?
Why did I get Paul Rudd vibes while watching this review 😂
Excellent video and review! Can you do crosstrek 2018
Thanks for your feedback, Pierre! We'll add the Crosstrek to our list 👍🏼
I love this new Camry...HOWEVER, it still lacks many features of its competitors. This new Camry got some things correct, but still lacks features like memory seats, heated AND cooled seats, heated steering wheel, and no AA/AC like most of its competitors have. I really don't care for AA/AC though. I used it before and it's nice and all but i don't consider that a deal breaker in my opinion. I'm hoping Toyota will fix this and make it even more competitive!
Hello from Colombia, here we love toyota, there are a lot of Land cruiser.
In the long run which car is better between Honda Accord 1.5 or Toyota Camry 4 cylinders? Which one has better resell price?
nice videography and editing
Thanks, Jacob!
Thought it was a great car when I bought it. Then quickly figured out that the safety features malfunction constantly and you have no map app unless you pay for it.
Micah Muzio should start reviewing smartphones as every review he spends a disproportionate amount of time on Apple CarPlay and android auto where it is turning into an obsession even in vehicles where it’s not fitted
New cars are great tell the newness wear off and the payment persist. The best car is the one that never lets you down.
"More direct throttle response"? I dont think so, this thing has a 3/4 of a sec delay in taking off from a stop.
I love the XSE trim 😍. I think the accord ties with the Camry xle but the XSE trim looks better than the accord. With the two tone roof and red interior
Accord did it again. Great review. Accord is the winner
Great videos thank you
Thanks for your support, Joe!
The Camry exterior styling is very nice, the inside is ok but nothing to knock my socks off. Compared to my 2014 Altima SV is not that much bigger in interior space. Visibility is good; however, the chrome trim around the a/c vents tend to create a visual distortion in the side view mirror. Power is good once you really step on the peddle, nice acceleration for 206 horsepower. I have more leg room in the front of the Altima than I do in the Camry, but more leg room in the rear of the Camry. I'm not a fan of the car driving for me, so the first time the car tried to correct the lane change when i didn't use the turn signal it took me by surprise, same when it slows down because of cars in front of you.............I can do without that.
V6 if you wanna make a scene leaving the post office hahaha
so confusing he mentions high end trims but then says its only available in other models.
You can tell when this guy's having a bad day. Suddenly, his jokes stop being funny.
Whoa about time
Sounds like Mr. Muzio had a touch of laryngitis. Excellent review as always, though.
Omar S Indeed but I’m recovering. Thanks for the kind words!
Glad to hear you're on the mend!
A beautiful gem
I agree with Motor Trend.
"Toyota built a better Camry, but Honda built a better car." (Paraphrased slightly)
Either way you can't go wrong with either one. For me personally, I'll have the Accord.
So, you really want a car with gills? I remember your first impression of the new Camry design at the auto show. You said nothing, but made all kinds of strained facial expressions showing shock and dismay over Toyota's design choices. Is ugly really the new beauty? Is hideous now considered sporty? Is repugnant, over-the-top Liberace/Las Vegas glitter style interior design truly a automotive asset? Is Toyota so powerful that reviewers don't want to offend the hand that feeds them?
Christopher Calder The trick with design is that our reaction to it changes over time. Cars that inspire immediate love often lack staying power while some designs slowly grow on us. With time I’ve made my peace with the new Camry.
More importantly, my opinion isn’t that critical. You guys can make up your own mind. I’m usually more opinionated about design during auto show videos because that’s my first impression but for full reviews we’ve all seen the shape. I try to be more restrained in my aesthetic criticism.
True that, only a grille a krill swilling baleen whale could love!
I hate how Toyota gave you the LE to review Instead of one of the fully loaded V6 models
There are few cars in the US that you could stick a Batman logo onto and pretend it's the Batmobile, and this is one of them. This car, the Lexus lc 500, and the other Lexus coupes could all legitmately be Batmobiles. They just look that good....
Excellent review guys! Honda Accord really put a damper on the new Camry
Blake Swan except in sales lol
I love the XSE sport look but the XLE just doesnt give that executive look that honda accord has.
Excellent excellent review.......
you need to do more reviews. i wish you were my neighbor, summer bbq parties in my backyard would be awesome!
Camry has aged so much since the Accord released..
Everyone saying the Accord is better should look up Honda’s latest electrical issues. We just settled out of court because our Accord was a complete lemon. Just keep that in mind.
Shea Ellington source?
Shea Ellington liar
And keep in mind that the new Toyota 8-Speed transmission has issues. Look at some the reviews on Edmunds what people are saying about their Siennas equipped with the 8-speed!
Honda has been having transmission issues too. CR has been warning people not to lump Toyota and Hondas reliability together since Honda is clearly a step down.
Shea Ellington source?
Regarding the infotainment system: all new 2019 Camrys have apple CarPlay.
Mark Knight and 2020 models have android auto
The 2018 Camry can get a free CarPlay upgrade now
