Predicted Resale Value After 5 Years of Ownership: 40.9%
For years we’ve told folks they can’t go wrong with a Camry. Sound advice, especially now that the Toyota Camry has snatched the title of Best Midsize Car in the 2021 KBB Best Resale Value Awards.
What makes the Camry such a resale star? Most notably, the Kentucky-built sedan is as reliable as an anvil, and you can still get one powered by an honest V6 (as opposed to a turbocharged 4-cylinder). Also significant: You can order a 2021 Camry with all-wheel drive (AWD), which means this comfortable 5-seater can be enjoyed in snowy climes. The 2021 Toyota Camry also comes with a thorough safety suite that includes automatic emergency braking and radar cruise control.
From our Expert Review: “Compared to the Honda Accord, the Camry still isn’t quite as nimble, but it’s close. And as it’s long been, we think the Camry is slightly more plush riding than its Honda archrival. We are also fans of the Camry’s precise steering feel and smooth 8-speed automatic transmission, which you can also shift via paddles in some models.
“The standard 4-cylinder engine that powers the majority of Camrys will suffice for most buyers and has a satisfying blend of performance and efficiency. The optional V6 making over 300 horsepower can easily chirp the front tires.”
Continues our Review: “For 2021, Toyota has dropped the L trim, leaving the LE, SE, XSE, and XLE. The SE and XSE are the sportier pair, and the Camry TRD returns as the performance-oriented Camry. As the new entry model, the Camry LE is a solid value and comes with an 8-way power driver’s seat, 60/40-split/folding rear seats, an alarm system, and 17-inch alloy wheels.”
