Small overlap front: driver-side
Rating applies to 2015-17 models
Tested vehicle: 2014 Toyota Camry LE 4-door
The Toyota Camry was redesigned for the 2012 model year. Beginning with 2014 models built after December 2013, the front structure was modified to improve occupant protection in small overlap frontal crashes. (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.)
Beginning with 2015 models, the side curtain airbags were lengthened to further improve occupant protection in this same type of crash. Assessment of side airbag coverage is determined by the Institute based on a test of a 2015 model Camry conducted by Toyota. All other assessments, ratings, and vehicle specifications are based on an Institute test of a 2014 model Camry built after the front structure was modified.

Action shot taken during the Institute's small overlap frontal crash test.

The dummy's position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained reasonably well in the Institute's test.

Except for door hinge pillar deformation and parking brake pedal movement (pedal not visible), intrusion into the driver's space was reasonably well controlled, and risk of injuries to the dummy's legs and feet was low (Institute test car shown).
