Reliability Score
Assessment Summary
The Toyota Camry Ascent 2025 presents strong mechanical reliability (engine and transmission) consistent with Toyota’s reputation for durable powertrains. The engine and transmission scores are high, supported by Toyota’s history of durable 2.5L engines and reliable eCVT/assist hybrids. Electronics and infotainment reliability show more variability due to software/firmware and display-related recalls/issues. While these are notable, they do not dominate the ownership experience and do not indicate widespread mechanical reliability failures. Recall activity in 2025 for gauge/display and fuel-system components signals proactive safety/regulatory actions and not systemic failure of core propulsion components. This contributes to the moderate confidence level rather than boosting the score beyond what durable mechanical reliability would justify.
