2007 Toyota Camry: Come Sit in the Backseat

2007 Toyota Camry LE V6 backseat - E. Riches

Our long-term 2007 Toyota Camry's backseat hasn't gotten much attention on the blog to date, but just as in past Camrys, it's comfortable and functional for everyday family use. Sitting in the back of our LE V6 long-termer feels almost exactly like sitting in this 2002 four-cylinder LE model we tested several years back -- the bench feels a little too low (for a long-legged adult like myself), but there's plenty of legroom behind the front chairs.

During the '07 redesign, Camry gained exactly 1/2-inch of rear legroom...

Hip room is basically unchanged, but Toyota's midsize sedan lost 1/2-inch of rear headroom -- which probably explains why the bench itself had to remain low. And even with this provision, head space isn't abundant in the '07 model.

You might also notice that our new Camry lacks the door-mounted juicebox holders present in the '02 model (and visible in the photo above). Evidently, focus group participants didn't think those holders were as clever as our editors did at the time.
