Assessment Summary
The 2022 Camry Ascent Hybrid relies on Toyota's mature Hybrid Dynamic Force powertrain, which has established long-running reliability in hybrid applications. The e-CVT transmission in the hybrid system is generally reliable when serviced regularly, with emphasis on CVT fluid changes and hybrid system inspections. Real-world ownership highlights include smooth, quiet operation, strong fuel economy, and a spacious, durable cabin, all contributing to a favorable longevity when maintenance guidelines are followed. Notable reliability weaknesses include occasional transmission symptoms such as shudder, hesitation, or whining, and some electronics-related issues like connectivity dropouts, infotainment responsiveness, and recurring ADAS/camera calibration recalls affecting daily usability. With regular maintenance per Toyota guidelines, the model's reliability is expected to be durable over time, though owners should be mindful of servicing the CVT and hybrid system to sustain performance.
