Being one of the premium midsize sedans, the car gets a lot of premium features across its variants. However, the base S variant does not get a sunroof, while the top-of-the-line trim gets a panoramic sunroof. The base variant also gets only a manual AC system, while all the other trims feature an automatic climate. As for safety, the base variant gets just two airbags, while all the other variants get different side and curtain airbags as well.
The S trim rides on 16-inch steel wheels, while the SE gets 17-inch alloys. The top trims get bigger 18-inch alloys. The base variant even gets fabric seats and standard steering covers, while the SE gets a leather-trimmed steering wheel. Further, the 40th Anniversary and Sport even get leather seats.
Which Toyota Camry variant should you buy?
The 2023 Toyota Camry charges a premium for its top models, while the base is no less too. So, AED 98,900 for a variant that offers manual AC, small steel wheels, and just two airbags doesn’t seem a great value for money. Instead, it would be of greater value if buyers added a few thousand bucks to get at least the SE or higher trims.
