Toyota Camry SL 2026 Review Shows Strong Australian Sales and Premium Pricing
The 2026 Toyota Camry SL, the highest‑spec trim of Toyota's long‑standing sedan, is priced at AUD 53,990 before on‑road costs. It has become Australia’s best‑selling vehicle in the shrinking sedan segment, with more than 6,000 units sold in 2026, driven largely by ride‑share operators such as Uber and taxi fleets.
In addition to its practical upgrades in power and efficiency, the SL trim offers a spacious, comfortable interior that reviewers describe as bordering on luxurious. The Camry faces a narrowed field of rivals, including the electric Tesla Model 3, BYD Seal (both BEV and plug‑in hybrid versions), the Honda Accord e:HEV RS, the Hyundai Sonata N Line, and Toyota’s own Lexus ES.
Despite fierce competition, the Camry maintains a sales uptick year‑on‑year, outpacing the Tesla Model 3 by a few hundred units per month and beating other midsize sedans in the Australian market.
