The Camry TRD starts at $33,285, including $1,025 for destination.
This 2021 Toyota Camry TRD pictured here will cost you $34,312. From the middle of the rev range to the 6,800rpm redline, though, the V6 pulls forcefully and sounds sweet, emitting a surprisingly good midrange growl through a TRD cat-back exhaust.
Throttle response is snappy at tip-in and low-end torque is acceptable, though certainly not as muscular as force-induced I4s in rival cars. As competitors have abandoned six-pot engines in favor of turbocharged fours, I applaud Toyota's decision to stick with a six for its seamless and linear power delivery. Motivation comes from a silky 3.5-liter V6 pumping out 301 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. Adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning and road sign assist are also included. Forward-collision warning can now pick up bicyclists and is better at detecting pedestrians in low-light situations.
On the active safety front, the TRD gains standard blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert for 2021 in addition to an improved Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 Plus package. Unfortunately, the system has a noticeable delay when changing between menus. Buttons and knobs flanking the screen enable easy access to the commonly used menus and stereo adjustments, while the touchscreen's layout is easy to navigate. Like every 2021 Camry, the TRD receives a new floating touchscreen infotainment display that puts the controls a tad closer to passengers, and helps decrease glare on the relatively small 7-inch screen. Trunk space measures in at a roomy 15.1 cubic feet but carrying longer items in the TRD will be difficult since the second-row seat backs do not fold down because of a V-brace installed behind for added body stiffening. Unfortunately, people in the back will have to make do without climate vents, a center armrest or power points. Passenger space in both rows is generous and there are numerous slots and cubbies to stash stuff up front. The materials are nice with most major surfaces wrapped and switched, while the hard plastics are nicely finished. The rest of the Camry's interior is on par with everything in the midsize sedan class.
