2016 Toyota Camry Exterior

The 2016 Camry boasts exterior options like a distinctive sport mesh front grille, LED headlights and daytime running lights, gloss-black-finish or machined-finish 18-inch alloy wheels, and a dual chrome-tipped exhaust. The combination results in a surprisingly dashing sedan that’s arguably more attractive than its competitors. It’s hard to be stylish in some sedans, but the Camry’s sleek style makes it much easier.

2016 Toyota Camry Performance       

The 2016 Toyota Camry is available with three engine choices. The base 2.5-liter four-cylinder motor is good for 178 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque, and is mated to a six-speed electronically controlled automatic overdrive transmission which sends power to the front wheels. This engine is standard in all non-hybrid models.

The second engine option is a beefy 3.5-liter V6, which pumps out 268 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque. This engine is available on the XLE and XSE models.

Finally, all three hybrid models are powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid motor which gets 200 horsepower, and comes with EV and ECO modes. The hybrid engine is mated to an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (CVT).

2016 Toyota Camry Efficiency

The base four-cylinder engine yields a respectable 25 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway for a combined rating of 28 mpg. Choosing the V6 will knock those numbers down to 21/31/25 mpg city/highway/combined.

If you want to really save money at the pump, the best option is (unsurprisingly) the hybrid engine. In the Hybrid LE model, it gets 43 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, and 41 mpg combined. Opting for the Hybrid SE or Hybrid XLE means slightly lower, though nonetheless still impressive numbers of 40/38/40 mpg city/highway/combined.

2016 Toyota Camry Interior

Inside the 2016 Toyota Camry awaits a peaceful haven that’ll keep you calm, comfortable, and entertained while on the road. Front sport seats with bolsters are available, either in sport or Ultrasuede trim. The Camry SE and XSE offer paddle shifters for a sportier ride, and each model’s center stack allows driver and passenger to easily navigate the infotainment system without losing focus on the road.

The 2016 Camry is also much larger on the inside than you would expect. Rear-seat legroom can be as much as 38.9 inches, meaning even tall back-seat passengers won’t find much to complain about. Additionally, the Camry offers 15.4 cubic feet of cargo space—by no means comparable to a hatchback or crossover, but on par with competitors like the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima.
