Look & feel
The Toyota Camry is one of the Japanese carmaker's biggest-selling models. As such, when an all-new model arrives it’s major news. That’s precisely what has happened, as the new 2007 model arrives in showrooms.
In terms of design, the 2007 Toyota Camry looks more sophisticated than its predecessors, and it also introduced a more aerodynamic aesthetic that suggested Toyota finally recognized that its big sedan should look as good as it performs. OK, it’s still no Ferrari (or even Alfa Romeo come to that), but for a big car, the 2007 Camry is sleek enough to not stand out from the crowd.
The interior was also overhauled, although some questioned if Toyota had abandoned the high quality—and highly durable—finish you’d expect of one of its flagship cars.
Performance
A sports car, the Camry is not. But hey, what did you expect? Instead, the 2007 Toyota Camry was designed to offer relaxing, smooth performance while also being able to hold it together if you found a suitably interesting road. All models are front-wheel drive.
Key to this are the engines. Both 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder units are available, and they offer reasonable performance and quiet manners if all you’re interested in is cruising. If you want a manual gearbox, you’ll have to stick to a 4-cylinder engine; the base-model, known as the CE, can be found with a 2.4-liter inline-4 that produces 158 horsepower and 161 pound-feet of torque.
All trims above the CE can be had with the 4-cylinder or a more powerful V6. This 3.5-liter DOHC power plant provides 268 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque. This engine utilizes Toyota's Dual Variable Valve Timing + intelligence system to harness maximum engine potential, increase fuel economy, and lower emissions. It came with a 6-speed automatic transmission, whereas the only automatic available on the 4-cylinder engine is a five-speed unit.
2007 is the first year Toyota offers the Camry as a hybrid. This combines the 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder engine with an electric motor and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (CVT). The system is branded as Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive.
Form & function
The body style is limited to 4-door sedan only, although that doesn't harm practicality too much. This is the largest Camry there’s ever been. Expect generous room in the rear seats (XLE models even come with reclining rear seats), although the trunk isn’t a match for what you’ll find in many SUVs. Note, the trunk of the Camry Hybrid is smaller still due to the space taken up by the hybrid system’s battery. Up front, there’s plenty of storage spaces and no risk of grazing elbows with your passenger.
The 2007 Camry is available in four trim levels and the hybrid version. The base model, the CE, comes well equipped with power windows and cruise control. The LE is the second tier, adding features like an eight-way power driver’s seat and keyless entry. The SE is the sport version, adding a firmer suspension, a three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, blue Optitron meters, side rocker panel moldings, fog lamps, and aluminum alloy wheels. The XLE comes standard with dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth technology, a power moonroof, and those reclining back seats.
Technology
Just as Mercedes-Benz uses the S-Class to show off its latest technology, so Toyota often debuts its most cutting-edge features on the Camry. Such features include a power moonroof, Bluetooth phone connectivity, and dual-zone climate control.
If you want more luxury and technology from your sedan, it might also be worth looking at the 2007 Lexus ES 350, which shares its underpinnings and engine with the 2007 Camry.
Safety
The Toyota Camry will certainly be remembered as a safe car at the time of its launch. Crucially, it comes with seven airbags and electronic stability control. And there’s anti-lock brakes and electronic brake-force distribution to help prevent that accident from happening in the first place.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rated the 2007 Camry as Good in front overlap, side, and roof-strength tests. The Camry received a Moderate rating for head restraints and seats. The National Highly Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) rated the 2007 Toyota Camry with five stars for frontal and side crash protection, and with four stars for rollover protection.
It might be worth noting that Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) isn't fitted as standard to every 2007 Toyota Camry, but is offered as an optional extra.
Cost-effectiveness
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2007 Toyota Camry have mixed feelings. Many appreciated its reliability, fuel efficiency, and spacious interior, making it a great family car. However, several drivers expressed dissatisfaction with its acceleration and handling, finding it underpowered compared to other vehicles. While the Camry offers good value for money and a comfortable ride, some owners also mentioned the interior quality could be improved."
Just what the daughter needed a reliable car for her and her children
March 4, 2026Excellent reliability. Great gas mileage and comfortable ride. Easy to maintain
July 20, 2021Great car overall! I love the low operating costs. Drives nice and has plenty of room for passengers as well as a large trunk space. The 2 front air bags and 4 side curtain air bags are a nice safety feature.

April 22, 2015This is an all around great vehicle. I think it is one of the best sedans on the market however, I am a big Toyota fan. Very reliable, great on gas, stylish and I always feel SAFE in this vehicle.
March 12, 2012Excellent quality vehicle with lots of cool features. Great JBL audio quality with 6CD. Passenger side climate control. Nice interior with teak colors. Driving was far more smoother than I thought. Sometimes you won't even feel the speed. Recommend this car to anyone.
December 12, 2008This year v6 engine in the CAMRY is near bullet proof. We have 5 in our family and the run super. Great cars for beginners.
February 17, 2023Performance: Good acceleration and handling, but braking is a little slow. Build Quality: No repairs needed Gas mileage: Averages about 25 in city, about 30 on highway. Wish Toyota made Camrys in manual, but SE is much more fun to drive than base.
October 19, 2009I wanted a practical car that would be fun to drive and this Camry has not disappointed. It has all the trappings and comforts of a family sedan but when I tromp on the accelerator, I have to hold on tight because this V6 really rocks. Gas mileage hasn't been quite as good as advertised but overall I am averaging over 20 mph. The ride is quiet and comfortable and the handling, while not crisp, is solid and predictable. A much cheaper and exciting alternative to the Lexus ES 350, which I also considered buying.
January 23, 20082007 Camry SE, 6-disc JBL audio surround sound, sports pedals, 18'' alloy wheels with Michelen High Performance tires, blackout sports grille, chrome tipped exhaust, exterior: black, interior: ash/black sports interior, spacious trunk, airbags: knees for driver, side impact driver and passager front & back seats, moonroof
January 7, 2008What is there to not like about this car excellent gas mileage, nice power easy to handle. Interior is very comfortable leather power seats, power windows, power locks, roomy, nice radio just a very enjoyable car. I would highly recommend this car.
