2017 Toyota Camry: What's Changed

CARS.COM

  • Most significant changes: Entune Audio Plus multimedia system with navigation and a JBL sound system and wireless charging for Qi-compatible smartphones are standard on XLE and XSE trims
  • Price change: Unchanged from 2016
  • On sale: Mid-June
  • Which should you buy, 2016 or 2017? 2016, unless wireless phone charging and an upgraded audio system are musts.

The best-selling passenger car in the U.S. is suffering the same fate as other sedans: Sales are down this year as more buyers gravitate to SUVs, so Toyota is doing what it can to help the Camry.

That means no price increases on 2017 Camry models. There are no styling or mechanical changes for 2017, either; the only additions are a high-end Entune multimedia system and wireless smartphone charging to XLE and XSE models. With wireless charging, Qi-compatible phones can be charged by placing the phone on a pad in the center console.

Though that might attract some, the better deals are on the 2016s and plenty are still available at this time. Toyota is offering rebates up to $2,000 and zero-percent financing for as long as 72 months on the 2016s. It will probably be a few months before similar deals are offered on the 2017s.

The lineup remains the same with 2.5-liter four-cylinder versions of the LE, SE, XSE and XLE trim levels and a 3.5-liter V-6 available in the XLE and XSE. The Camry has a starting price of $23,905, including an $835 destination fee.

The Camry Hybrid, which teams the 2.5-liter engine with an electric motor and a nickel-metal-hydride battery, returns in LE, SE and XLE trim. The Camry Hybrid starts at $27,625, including an $835 destination fee.
