Toyota Camry Hybrid Reliability by Year

Every Camry Hybrid model year from 2006 to 2025, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Mid-Size Passenger Car of the same year.

Scored separately as its own vehicle: Camry (2004–2024).

The short answer

Best model year
2016
#1 of 47 that year
Year to avoid
2007
#56 of 56 that year
Latest scored
2025
#9 of 18

Across 17 scored model years the Camry Hybrid sits close to its class average on both counts. The spread between years is what matters: 2016 is its strongest, 2007 its weakest.

Every model year, scored

Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Mid-Size Passenger Car sold that same model year.

The line held a middling position through 2009, then moved to strong from 2010 on. Recent years have been slipping. This 2025 car falls in a strong stretch.

What tends to break

All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.

Every Camry Hybrid model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Mid-Size Passenger Car of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.

Across the last three model years (2020–2025), the trouble concentrates in one place: structure & body. That system draws issue reports more often than the same system on the average Mid-Size Passenger Car of its year — which changes what you should be inspecting before you buy.

Where does this data come from?

Failure reports filed with NHTSA — submitted by vehicle owners and repair shops alike — weighted against US sales volumes so a high-volume model is not penalised for selling well, then benchmarked within segment and model year.

How this was built. Scores derive from failure reports filed with NHTSA — submitted by vehicle owners and repair shops alike — weighted against US sales volumes and benchmarked within segment and model year. We measure two separate things: Fix Frequency — how often a vehicle needs fixing — and Fix Severity — how costly those fixes are. These figures describe a model line, not the specific vehicle in front of you; trim, mileage and service history still decide an individual car.
