2022 Camry: Making Use of a Large Cabin

Red Camry InteriorWhile many favor crossovers in the Toyota lineup, such as the RAV4, because of the interior space, sedans like the Toyota Camry offer more than enough room for passengers and cargo. No matter the row you sit in, you’ll quickly be able to get comfortable.

Legroom in the front measures 42.1 inches and headroom for the first-row occupants comes in at 38.3 inches. In the second-row seats, both the headroom and legroom are a plentiful 38 inches.

Here’s what you can expect in terms of hip room and shoulder room for the 2022 model:

  • 55.4 inches of front hip room
  • 54.7 inches of rear hip room
  • 57.7 inches of front shoulder room
  • 55.7 inches of rear shoulder room

The total passenger volume supports five passengers and measures in at 100.4 cubic feet. Plus, with 15.1 cubic feet of cargo room in the trunk, the Camry works equally well as a daily commuter or a road trip option.

2022 Camry: Choosing Your Favorite Version

Toyota Camry in the darkThere are 13 unique versions of the 2022 Toyota Camry. From altering the styling to the in-cabin technology, each trim features a unique personality. In terms of performance, you can also choose between a hybrid and non-hybrid motors.

The base LE trim touts a 7-inch touchscreen while the LE Hybrid comes with four drives modes—EV, Eco, Normal, and Sport. The SE and the SE Hybrid trims can both be recognized by their 18-inch black machined-finish alloy wheels. The SE Nightshade Edition and the SE Hybrid Nightshade Edition take things a step further with a black front grille with sport mesh insert.

Choosing the XLE and the XLE Hybrid introduces a 9-inch touchscreen and a set of leather-trimmed, multi-stage heated front seats. The XSE and the XSE Hybrid feel slightly different behind the wheel compared to other trims, thanks to their sport-tuned suspension.
