Should You Buy the 2025 Toyota Camry?

Good, but not the best Camry year. This model year earns a good reliability standing, close to average among 2025 sedans and in the middle of the nine scored Camry years. Both the 2024 and the 2026 rate better. Independent repair-cost data puts yearly repairs at $388, well under the $526 typical for its class.

Owner complaints are few, 6 in total, and one involved a crash. The ones that stand out are braking failures reported at roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles and air bags that did not deploy, reported anywhere from 500 to 10,000 miles. Federal records also list four recalls, covering the hybrid propulsion system, back over prevention, seat belts, and equipment.

Before buying, confirm with a Toyota dealer that every recall has been completed on the exact car. Ask for brake service records, especially if the car is near 7,000 miles or past it. The 2024 rates better and has a longer track record. The 2026 also rates better, but its empty complaint record mostly reflects less time on the road.

Compared to the 2026 Toyota Camry, which scored 12 points higher. See also the 2024 Toyota Camry for an earlier comparison.
