As America’s best-selling passenger car for seven years running, it’d be easy to assume that no changes were necessary for the Toyota Camry in 2010. Instead, Toyota saw fit to increase power and displacement on their base engine, add an extra gear to both of their base transmissions, and make subtle styling changes to the front end. The four-door, front-wheel-drive, midsize Camry gets a freshly designed grille and front bumper with a larger intake, larger headlamps, and redesigned taillamps. Additionally, all models receive new wheels or wheel covers, tying both ends together.
Replacing the outgoing 2.4-liter, 158-hp inline four is a 2.5-liter that first saw duty in the RAV4. Power increases to 169 hp for the Base, LE, and XLE trims, while the sportier SE trim gets 179 hp. Further, the five-speed transmissions have been dropped for a standard six-speed manual in the Base, LE, and SE trims, and a standard six-speed automatic in the XLE, with both transmissions available as options on all trims. This means an increase in fuel efficiency despite the power increase, to 22/32 mpg for the automatic and 22/33 for the manual.
A 3.5-liter V6 is available as on option on Base, LE, XLE, and SE trims. It produces 268 hp, comes with a six-speed automatic, and gets 19/28 mpg. The Hybrid trim comes with 2009’s 2.4-liter gas/electric hybrid engine, which qualifies the Camry as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV), one of only a few vehicles with that designation. EPA estimates for the Hybrid come in at 33/34. The Hybrid also receives a redesigned meter cluster and a new fabric for the upholstery, a combination of silk protein and synthetic fiber called Fraichir.
Also new for 2010 are standard Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control on all non-hybrid trims.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2010 Toyota Camry appreciate its reliability, comfort, and fuel efficiency. Many drivers feel safe in the car and enjoy its smooth handling. However, some have noted that the interior lacks modern features and that the power could be better for an exciting drive. Despite this, most agree that it's a solid choice for everyday use."
I like the car's features, with the exception of paint color and engine size. Looking for a lighter color and V6. This auto is a fair value.

February 22, 2021Great ride great safety rating great features and at a great value and great fuel economy
February 26, 2021Bought this car used and so far, we have been very happy with it. At an average of 32 mpg, it gives us great gas mileage for a mid-sized sedan. Some would call it full size. I use synthetic oil and it seems to be beneficial. Excellent handling and the tires are well mated with the car. Had to accelerate suddenly to avoid an accident in Arkansas and the car responded well. The car also handled very well in the mid-western snow storm of Christmas 2012, while driving through Illinois. I purchased the warranty with it and was glad I did as the rear seal developed a leak - covered by the warranty. If not, it would have cost me $1200 to have it fixed. Otherwise, the regular 5000 mile interval oil changes are pretty reasonable.
September 1, 2014I think this car is very safe and I feel confident when riding in it.I recommend it to anyone- especially if you have small children. Glad to have air bags. Looking forward to future improvements.Get one for yourself! It is also good for kids graduating from high school or college
July 9, 2014There are zero complaints about this vehicle. It is great on gas mileage, looks great, handles incredibly and is one of the most comfortable to ride in sedan! The engine is in fantastic condition and it had very low miles.
March 25, 2014A good looking reliable car that it fun to drive. Handles well, has some get up and go, plenty of room, comfortable seats, stereo sounds great, ac and heater work perfect, all in all a great car for anyone who enjoys driving.
May 20, 2013I have driven the car for three years and 40K miles and it has been a pleasure to drive. I have driven this car across country and back and it was very responsive to every situation and very comfortable. Great car.
September 23, 2012Performance: Good acceleration braking and handling. Not very sporty though. Build Quality is good. Appearance is pretty good for its class. Gas mileage is amazing and maintenance is very affordable. It is fun to drive but not for a performance car fanatic.
