Which car manufacturer produces the 'Camry'?

The story behind the answer

The car manufacturer that produces the Camry is Toyota.

Toyota launched the Camry in 1982 as a compact car, and the model has remained in production through multiple generations. Early Camrys were relatively narrow, but from the 1990s the model grew into the mid-size category in many markets. Toyota positioned it as a practical family sedan, emphasizing comfort, reliability, and broad international availability.

The name Camry comes from the Japanese word kanmuri, meaning “crown.” This follows Toyota’s longstanding use of crown-related names, including the Toyota Crown and the Corona. The Camry has been sold under related names in some markets, including Toyota Vista in Japan and Daihatsu Altis in Japan and other Asian markets.

A common mistake is to identify the Camry with Honda, Nissan, or Ford because those companies make competing family sedans. The Camry is a Toyota model, while the Corolla is Toyota’s smaller, closely related global model. Depending on the market and generation, Camrys have been offered with gasoline, hybrid, front-wheel-drive, and some all-wheel-drive configurations.
