The 2016 Toyota Camry has a ton of models to choose from

The 2016 Camry has you covered with a whopping 10 different trim levels to choose from according to Kelley Blue Book (KBB), including the base Camry LE, Hybrid LE, SE, Hybrid SE, SE Special Edition, XLE, Hybrid XLE, XLE V6, XSE, and XSE V6.

While all of these trim designations may make your head spin, these trim names are typical in the Toyota lineup, with the LE model acting as the base model, the SE adding some small upgrades, the XLE adding some small sporty touches in the interior with some suspension upgrades. Meanwhile, the XSE offers luxury options typically only found in more expensive vehicles like a power sunroof, a larger touchscreen, and a push-button start.

Excellent fuel economy

Regardless of the 2016 Camry trim you choose, you are set up to get excellent fuel economy. Car and Driver report that the base LE Camry with a four-cylinder engine achieves an EPA-estimated 25 mpg city and 35 mpg highway.

If you opt for the Toyota Camry Hybrid, you can expect a fuel economy rating of 43 mpg city and 39 mpg highway, which is very impressive for such a large car. If you are looking for some V6 performance, you can still expect great fuel economy, which is only slightly lower for this powertrain, which is rated at 21 mpg city and 31 mpg highway.

The 2016 Toyota Camry is safe, affordable transportation

While the 2016 Toyota Camry may not be as visually stunning as the brand new models, they are just as safe, with the 2016 Toyota Camry receiving all “good” ratings in every category from the IIHS, and all four and five-star crash test ratings from the NHTSA.

According to Consumer Reports, you can expect to pay between $15,100 and $18,200 for a used 2016 Camry, depending on the trim level, mileage, and condition.

With a ton of impressive features, great fuel economy, and unbeatable longevity, the 2016 Toyota Camry may be the perfect car for you under the $20,000 price point.
