CAMRY XV20

About the Camry XV20

The XV20 Camry refined the formula to near-perfection between 1996 and 2001. Toyota rounded every edge, softened every surface, and created a sedan so inoffensive that it became invisible — which was exactly the point. The 2.2 four-cylinder was efficient, the 3.0 V6 was smooth, and the interior was assembled with obsessive consistency. Consumer Reports made it a perennial top pick. The XV20 was not a car people fell in love with; it was a car people trusted completely. That trust sold over two million units in the US alone.
