Assessment Summary
The 2022 Camry Ascent demonstrates strong long-term durability in its petrol and hybrid drivetrain, backed by Toyota’s extensive inline-4 reliability history. The engine’s proven reliability is complemented by a broad Australian service network and the efficient, refined performance of the Dynamic Force design. The automatic transmission is a well-established, dependable part of Toyota’s reliability platform, with updates in earlier production helping to address shifting concerns. Real-world ownership notes point to infotainment reliability challenges, including screen freezes and intermittent connectivity. Some early transmission software/shift-logic issues have been reported, though these are typically mitigated by updates and routine maintenance. The same engine design can show intake-valve buildup risks and occasional oil consumption if maintenance intervals are not followed, which emphasizes the importance of regular servicing. Taken together, the Camry Ascent offers solid long-term durability with predictable maintenance needs, while electronics and certain powertrain details warrant attentive upkeep.
