The 2022 New Camry, a facelift model of the 8th generation Camry, features improved safety and convenience specifications compared to the previous model, and Toyota Korea explained that a hybrid XSE trim has been added.


The 2022 New Camry is characterized by changes in the front design for each trim.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) with curve deceleration function is also supported.


Additionally, the XLE and XSE trims are equipped with Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). Furthermore, the applied 9-inch floating display supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
