Blue 2018 Toyota Camry In Motion

The Toyota Camry 2018 model is one of the most dependable cars out there today. According to CarEdge, the Camry still holds about half its original value after five years. It would be higher, but many used Camrys come from rental lots, which drives the median resale price down.

What is the Toyota Camry 2018 price?

The 2018 Toyota Camry MSRP ranges between $18,260 for a base L and $35,100 for an XSE V6.

  • Owner Reviews: 4.63 stars
  • Expert Reviews: 4.7 stars

When it comes to the price of a car, the question is less “what does it cost?” and more “is it worth it?” In the case of the 2018 Toyota Camry, the answer is yes. Just make sure that if you buy used, it wasn’t a rental car.

Here are your options:

Toyota Camry 2018 Trim Levels and Options

L

The base L trim starts at $18,260. Front-wheel drive, 8-speed automatic, an impressive 29/41 MPG city/highway, and a 2.5L I 4-cylinder engine that’ll get you 203 horsepower and 184 ft. lbs. of torque.

A Camry is thought to be a modest choice, but with those specs, you shouldn’t have any problem with hills and moderately tough driving conditions.

Standard features are basic, but not disappointing: Two LCD monitors in the front with a seven-inch touchscreen, 6-way manual adjust bucket seats up front, cruise with steering control. Nothing amazing, but nothing missing, either.

Packages include the $303 Preferred Accessory Package with carpeted floor mats, cargo net and a first aid kit, and the $373 Four Season Floor Mat Package with all-weather floor liners.

Hybrid LE

Starting at $23,322 the Hybrid LE has generally the same mechanical specs as the L, but with a 1-speed CVT transmission, and it gets 51/53 MPG thanks to being a hybrid.

The Hybrid LE comes with push-button start and proximity key, Entune internet access. A $1,080 Audio Package gets you a ton of audio features like eight-inch touch screen with voice recognition, HD radio, and three-year Safety and Service Connect.

You can also add a power tilt/slide sunroof/moonroof for $900.

XSE V6

The $35,100 XSE V6 comes with a 3.5L V6 DOHC 24 valve engine producing a hefty 301 horsepower and 267 ft. lbs. of torque. Pretty tough for a Camry.

The sunroof comes standard with this one, and you’ll get a nice perforated leather seat trim, an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat, and some extra chrome and metal-look trim throughout.

Other upgrades include perimeter alarm, proximity key and push-button start, and a HomeLink garage door transmitter. The XSE V6 offers a few bonuses over the lower trims, but you’re mainly paying extra for that V6 engine.

Some options and packages include the following:

  • All-weather floor liners ($250)
  • Door sill protectors and rear bumper applique ($268)
  • Preferred Accessory Package ($303)
  • Four Season Floor Mat Package ($373)

Built to Last?

Just like a Fiat, a Camry is actually built to last, but so many people buy retired rental cars and assume the problem is with the make and model, and not how it was used. So, read the Vehicle History and find out how your car got its reputation.
