NHTSA // CRASH-TESTED
2023 Toyota Camry
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Toyota Camry has been the best-selling midsize sedan in America for decades, and the 2019-2025 generation continues to anchor that reputation. Built as a four-door family sedan aimed squarely at mainstream buyers who want a sensible, well-rounded vehicle, the Camry competes in one of the most scrutinized segments on the road. At MotorCaliber, we look past the popularity contest and focus entirely on what the safety data actually says.
Despite a strong crash-test showing, the 2023 Toyota Camry carries a park-outside or stop-driving recall, so read the recall section first. Its 5-star rollover rating stands out for families and child-seat buyers. It has 2 recalls on record, reflected in the score.
- families prioritizing rollover safety
- new and teen drivers who want standard crash-avoidance tech
- urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
Reviewers generally regard the Camry as one of the most polished and well-rounded entries in the midsize sedan segment, praising its composed ride, refined cabin, and broad trim-level range. Most professional assessments position it as a benchmark choice for buyers who prioritize a predictable, capable everyday vehicle over driving excitement.
