What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2017 Toyota Camry 5 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 5-star median for the 18 comparable 2017 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 11.1% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 24 MPG combined, the 2017 Toyota Camry ranks 15th of 25 midsize cars EPA rated for 2017 — 1 MPG short of the 25 MPG median for that group.
That places it in the lower third of its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $2,550, $25 less than the $2,575 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $12,750, a $125 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 363 grams per mile — about 5.4 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
