How much does the 2019 Toyota Camry cost?

Prices have softened 2.12% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,858 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2019 Toyota Camry a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Toyota Camry earns a 4.8/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 10/10.

Drivers consistently praise its reliability, comfortable ride, and fuel efficiency, and many also like its smooth handling and stylish design. The expert review reinforces that appeal for shoppers who want a family sedan with a more engaging personality, especially if you value a distinctive look and a V6 option.

The trade-offs are that it can feel smaller than some rivals, with fewer expected features than some shoppers may want, and the interior materials and cargo space are not class-leading. Even so, the Camry’s mix of style, safety, and value makes it a strong fit if you want a practical sedan with a little more character than usual.

The market also looks reasonably healthy, with 30.2% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2019 Toyota Camry reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to reliability, trouble-free ownership, and confidence in the car over time, with many drivers describing it as dependable for daily use. The expert review also emphasizes its reputation for a trouble-free ownership experience and its value-focused ownership story.

You also get a free scheduled maintenance plan, which helps reduce early ownership costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure the specific car you choose has been maintained well and hasn’t picked up avoidable wear.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Toyota Camry?

At 53.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has had bodywork or shows uneven panel gaps, tire wear, or interior wear that doesn’t match the mileage. Focus on condition first, because the Camry’s value proposition depends heavily on finding a clean example that still feels well cared for.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes L, LE, XLE, SE, and XSE, and the base setup can leave you wanting more features. The review points you toward LE as the minimum sensible choice, while XLE is the upscale pick if you want the most polished feel.
• Powertrain: You can choose a 203-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder or an available 301-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. The V6 adds real punch and makes the car feel much quicker, while the 4-cylinder is the better everyday value.
• Safety package: Every 2019 Camry has Toyota Safety Sense with adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. The suite is standard, but it is not the newer 2.0 version.
• Infotainment: The Camry uses Entune 3.0 with Apple CarPlay, a 6-month/2GB WiFi Connect subscription, wireless smartphone charging, and a 10-inch head-up display. Android Auto is not included.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert review cites 26 mpg in combined driving for the V6 test car.

Which 2019 Toyota Camry trim should I buy?

The 2019 Toyota Camry is offered in 5 trim levels: L, LE, XLE, SE, and XSE.

Here's the short version:

• L: This is the most basic way into the Camry, but the review makes clear that you should expect fewer features here than in the better-equipped trims. It makes sense only if your priority is the lowest possible entry price.
• LE: This is the best-value trim. The review specifically recommends starting here for the standard 2.5-liter engine, making it the smartest balance of price and everyday equipment.
• XLE: This is the upscale choice if you want a more premium feel without chasing the sportiest setup. It is the reviewer’s favorite among the trims.
• SE: This trim leans into the sportier side of the Camry’s personality and is a good fit if you want sharper styling and a more athletic vibe.
• XSE: This is the most expressive trim and pairs especially well with the V6 if you want the quickest, most entertaining Camry experience.

Toyota Safety Sense is standard across the lineup, but the review notes that lower trims use standard headlights that score Acceptable rather than Good.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Toyota Camry?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile deals.

• Deal availability: 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,858 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.12% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 53.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,941, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Toyota Camry's resale value?

The current average of $18,811 sits slightly below last year's $19,219.

That softer pricing suggests the Camry is currently more buyer-friendly than it was a year ago, which can help you if you are shopping now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim rather than assuming the market will reward every example equally.

The Camry still has a strong value story because shoppers tend to respond well to its reputation for reliability and ownership satisfaction. Well-kept examples should remain easier to move than neglected ones, especially if they have desirable equipment and a clean history.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Toyota Camry safe?

The 2019 Toyota Camry earns five-star ratings in every NHTSA assessment, including rollover resistance, and it also earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS.

It earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense is standard and includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. The system is comprehensive, but it is not the newer 2.0 version, and lower trims use headlights that IIHS rates Acceptable instead of Good.

Should I buy a 2019 Toyota Camry or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 53.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.12% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It combines standout safety with a free scheduled maintenance plan and a rare available V6.

Consider the 2018 if:

• At $17,813, the 2018 costs less than the current year's $18,811 average.
• It emphasizes dependable daily transportation with sporty styling and strong owner praise.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $20,533, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $18,811 average.
• It adds all-wheel drive and a sportier TRD version with a V6.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price, safety, and personality, the 2019 is the right place to start. If you are especially price-sensitive, the 2018 can save you money while keeping much of the Camry formula intact. If you want newer features and are willing to pay more, the 2020 is the better step up.
