2023 Toyota Camry Highlights: What We Love About This Iconic Sedan

Since we’re your trusted local dealer, you know that we have the Toyota Camry for sale here at Romeoville Toyota. Since this iconic sedan evolves with each new model year, you might not know about all of the great features that the 2023 Camry has to offer. This versatile car is great for commuters, families, road trippers, and just about anyone else who wants a reliable car that’s loaded with style and the latest technology.

With so many great features across its many trim levels, it would take a while to get into every little detail, so let’s just take a look at the highlights. There’s plenty to cover here, from looks and comfort features to powertrains and driver-assistance tech. These are the things that really make the Camry stand out and hold its own against the many other options drivers have to choose from.

Sleek Styling

Just looking at the Camry, it’s easy to see that it’s a stylish car. Its sleek body is both aerodynamic and easy on the eyes. Standard LED headlights are bright, and the lamps themselves are nicely shaped. Available chrome accents contrast your body color of choice, and a dark gray front grille creates a nice two-toned look. Whether you want to impress the family member or colleague you’re picking up from O’Hare airport or just take pride in the appearance of your car, the Camry’s style is sure to satisfy.

Stylish Nightshade Package

If you want to take the styling to the next level, you can opt for the SE Nightshade Edition. This package enhances the looks of the SE trim with paint colors Midnight Black, Ice Cap, and, new for 2023, Reservoir Blue. Accents like the front grille, rear spoiler, headlight and taillight trim, mirror caps, and badges are blacked out, creating a cohesive look that complements the car’s design. New for the 2023 model year, the package gains a set of matte bronze-finished alloy wheels, which add a touch of classic elegance. With a car as popular as the Camry, exclusive styling packages like this can help drivers stand out from the pack.

Comprehensive Driver-Assistance Tech

The Camry comes standard with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technology across all trim levels, so you don’t have to pay extra to get Toyota Safety Sense. The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection uses a camera and radar to detect an imminent collision with another vehicle or a pedestrian. If you don’t react to the visual and audio warnings, then the system can brake automatically in order to mitigate the collision or avoid it altogether.

Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist helps to keep you in your lane on the freeway by using a combination of warnings and gentle automatic corrective steering. Automatic High Beams give you one less thing to worry about while driving at night. Instead of having to manually turn the high beams on and off to avoid blinding oncoming traffic, you can let the system do it automatically, as it senses the light levels from headlights and taillights around you. Road Sign Assist detects traffic signs using an intelligent camera and shows them on your display, so you’ll be extra aware of speed limit signs, stop signs, Do Not Enter signs, and more.

Fuel-Efficient Hybrid Options

The Prius isn’t the only Toyota that offers a fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain. The Camry can be had as a hybrid at several trim levels, including the LE, SE, SE Nightshade, XLE, and XSE. The non-hybrid Camry already has pretty good fuel economy. While the average 2022 vehicle gets 27 MPG, according to the EPA, a non-hybrid Camry LE/SE gets a combined rating of 32 MPG. However, the Camry Hybrid LE blows that out of the water with an impressive combined rating of 52 MPG. With a total range of 686 miles, you can drive from our dealership to Cincinnati and back without ever having to stop for gas.

TRD

If you’re an enthusiast more interested in performance than efficiency, you can opt for a model that’s part of the legendary Toyota Racing Development line. Under the hood, you’ll find a 301-horsepower 3.5L V6 that makes the car peppy and fun to drive. The Camry TRD handles like a dream with specially-tuned shocks that enhance body control, steering precision, and agility. It also has exclusive coil springs that give the car a lower center of gravity and thicker underbody braces that increase torsional rigidity. On top of its performance chops, the TRD also has bold styling, including red pinstripes, a red TRD badge, and an eye-catching rear spoiler.

Inviting Interior

The Camry’s driver-centric design puts all of the controls within easy reach of the driver, with many buttons conveniently built right into the steering wheel so you can change music settings, answer calls, switch between driving modes, and more without ever taking your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel. On the dashboard, the large touchscreen is paired with several other tactile buttons and knobs, so you have a variety of ways to interact with the car’s interface.

While the driver comes first and foremost, passengers will be plenty comfortable in both the front and back rows. For one thing, the spacious interior provides everyone with legroom, headroom, and elbow room, so you can stretch out and get comfortable whether you’re driving to Chicago or Cleveland. Available individual rear-seat vents and heated and ventilated front seats make it easy to control the temperature so that everyone can stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Speaking of winter, the available Cold Weather Package is a must-have for our cold northern climate. If you ever get caught driving in a snowstorm, you’ll be thankful to have not only a top-notch climate control system but also a heated seat and a heated steering wheel to warm you up all over. The package also comes with heated side view mirrors that prevent frost from blocking your view.

The Camry Has Something for Everyone

The Chicago area is home to a diverse range of drivers, and the Camry has something to offer all of them. Whether you live in a suburb or a busy urban center, whether you have a short daily commute or often need to drive long distances, whether you’re looking for an affordable car or a luxurious and stylish ride, you can get a Camry that suits your needs. There’s a reason that this capable and reliable model is such a popular passenger car: it’s a quality vehicle that comes with plenty of useful features that turn every drive into an elevated experience.
