Model profile

Model history and generations

Production years and key changes

Most Camrys reaching Europe today fall into three generations. The XV50 (2011–2017) introduced a stiffer platform and a sharper mid-cycle refresh in 2015. The XV70 (2017–2024), built on Toyota's TNGA-K architecture, is the volume seller on the US used market: lower, wider, with a fully independent rear suspension and, from 2020, optional all-wheel drive.

Powertrain and equipment

Engines, drivetrain and trims

What is under the hood

The bread-and-butter engine is the 2.5-litre four-cylinder — the 2AR-FE in earlier cars and the direct-injection A25A-FKS (Dynamic Force) in the XV70, producing roughly 200–206 hp.

Trims and body styles

The Camry is a four-door sedan throughout this period (the two-door Solara is a separate, older model). US trims run L, LE, SE, XLE and XSE, with the sporty TRD V6 added in 2020.

Vehicle selection

North American market and suitability

What the US market offers

Supply is excellent. Three-to-eight-year-old Camrys with 40,000 to 120,000 miles are everywhere, and because so many were fleet or commuter cars, service histories tend to be consistent.

Who this import is for

Import a used Toyota Camry from the USA if you want a large, comfortable, genuinely durable sedan with strong parts availability and low running anxiety.

Pre-purchase review

Model-specific inspection points

Reliability: trouble spots to check

The Camry earns its reputation, but no car is faultless. On the 2AR-FE four-cylinder, watch for occasional oil consumption and, on higher-mileage cars, a slightly noisy water pump. Early XV50 automatics could feel hesitant at low speed; a software update addressed much of it. The V6 is robust, though the timing components and water pump are the main long-interval jobs.

Germany and Europe

Differences, adaptation and registration

US vs. Europe differences

US Camrys run amber rear turn signals in many years, lack a rear fog lamp, and use SAE headlight aiming and units not homologated for Europe.

From modifications to registration

To pass the individual approval, a US Camry typically needs European-spec headlights or approved conversion, a rear fog lamp fitted and wired, and confirmation of the odometer reading in kilometres for the documents.

USCar Trader services

Inspection, purchase processing and escrow

As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.

  • Vehicle profile and history: The profile can show the VIN, US title status and available history records. No data source guarantees that every earlier event was reported.
  • Optional CARFAX report: Additional reported maintenance or service entries can be included. The report is not a complete service book or proof of every interval.
  • On-site inspection / USCT AutoCheck: USCar Trader can arrange a separately booked vehicle inspection. Agreed visible and accessible areas are documented. Road or functional tests require suitable access and seller approval; the visual review is not a lift inspection or workshop diagnosis.
  • Purchase processing and escrow: After approval, USCar Trader can coordinate seller contact, negotiation, contract and the escrow and import service. Fees, payment route and responsibilities are recorded in advance.
  • Recalls: Open safety recalls can be checked by VIN through the NHTSA recall search; they do not describe overall condition.

Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.

Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.

Questions and answers

Common questions about importing this model

Is it worth importing a used Toyota Camry from the USA?

If you want the V6 or a specific well-kept example, yes — the US used market offers depth and configurations Europe never sold in volume.

Does this vehicle automatically qualify for a 0% import-duty rate?

No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.

How is import VAT treated when importing a Toyota Camry?

Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.

Which Camry engine is most sought after?

The 3.5-litre V6, especially the 301 hp 2GR-FKS in the XV70 and the TRD variant, because no comparable European Camry exists.

Are US Camrys reliable enough to import?

Toyota Camry reliability is among the best in the class; the main variable is how well the individual car was maintained, which is why history checks matter.

What has to change for TUEV approval?

Usually headlights, a rear fog lamp and documentation adjustments such as odometer in kilometres; the exact list depends on model year.

How long does the whole import take?

Ocean freight and clearance typically span several weeks; the timeline depends on shipping schedules and the inspection appointment.

Can you check the car before I buy?

The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
