ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Toyota Camry?
The 2022 Toyota Camry AWD holds a Safety Index of 93/100, matching the 2021 model's score exactly and sustaining the Exceptional band for a second consecutive year. That flat year-over-year movement tells a specific story: the 2022 earned the same near-perfect crash-protection sub-score of 70 out of 70 and the full 10 out of 10 for avoidance technology, but the defect record sub-score of 13 out of 20 keeps the composite from reaching the index ceiling. That 13-point defect record reflects the one active recall, the occupant classification sensor campaign, which drags the defect component below its maximum. The five-star sweep across all NHTSA crash-test dimensions is the headline strength of this model year, and the standard fitment of forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control on this trim means the avoidance-technology score required no optional upgrades to achieve its maximum. The 56 filed complaints, including 12 alleged crash events and 9 alleged injuries, are unverified allegations and do not alter the index score, but the concentration of reports around Air Bags and Forward Collision Avoidance is worth monitoring as this vehicle ages in the used market.
