What are the dimensions of the back seat of a Toyota Camry?

Back-seat dimensions aren’t a single figure for the Camry; space is described with several measurements such as rear legroom, headroom, shoulder room, and seat width. For the current Camry, expect about 38 inches of rear legroom, roughly 38–39 inches of rear headroom, and around 55–56 inches of rear shoulder room.

This article explains what each measurement means, why it matters for passenger comfort, and where to find the exact numbers for a specific model year and trim.

What the measurements mean

The back seat space is described using several dimensions. Each one helps you understand how comfortable rear passengers will be, depending on their height, seating position, and whether you have child seats or adults sharing the seat. The key metrics are listed below.

• Rear legroom: the distance between the back of the front seat and the rear seat cushion, indicating how much space there is for knees and legs.


• Rear headroom: the vertical clearance for passengers seated in the rear, affected by roofline and seat position.


• Rear shoulder room: the width across the seating area for rear passengers, which affects how easily three adults can sit side by side.


• Rear seat width: the actual seating area width, useful for assessing comfort for wider seating or three-across arrangements.

These measurements together describe how spacious the back seat feels for different passengers and configurations.

Current Camry generation (2024–present) numbers

Below are typical official figures for the latest Camry generation. Exact values can vary by trim and year, so consult the specific spec sheet for your vehicle to confirm.

• Rear legroom: about 38.0 inches (964 mm)


• Rear headroom: about 38.0–38.5 inches (965–978 mm)


• Rear shoulder room: approximately 55.5–55.7 inches (1410–1415 mm)


• Rear seat width: roughly 53.0 inches (1346 mm)

Keep in mind that features such as panoramic sunroofs, seat adjustments, and folding configurations can affect perceived space. Car seats, child seats, and seat recline can also impact how much room feels available in practice.

How the numbers vary by generation

Camry rear-seat space has remained broadly similar across generations, with refinements that affect comfort and usability. If you’re comparing older Camrys, the figures can differ by a small margin and may not align exactly with the latest generation’s specs. Always check the exact year and trim you’re evaluating.

Recent generations (approx. 2018–present)

In the current and recent generations, Toyota has aimed to maximize rear legroom and comfort without compromising trunk space. Typical figures fall in the ranges listed above, with minor variations by trim and optional features such as rear panoramic roofs or different seat cushions.

Earlier generations

Earlier Camry models tended to show similar overall rear-space figures, but some years offered slightly less rear legroom or shoulder room depending on body style, roofline, and interior packaging. If you’re shopping used, verify the exact measurements for the year and trim you’re considering.

Summary

In summary, the Toyota Camry’s back-seat space is characterized by several interrelated dimensions rather than a single number. For the current model (2024–present), expect roughly 38 inches of rear legroom, about 38–39 inches of rear headroom, and around 55–56 inches of rear shoulder room, with a rear-seat width near 53 inches. These figures can vary slightly by year and trim, so always check the official spec sheet or the vehicle’s manual for your exact vehicle.

Why is Toyota discontinuing the Camry?

Toyota is not discontinuing the Camry globally, but is ending sales in Japan due to low domestic demand, a shift toward SUVs in that market, and the overlap with the Toyota Crown. The Camry will continue to be produced for other major markets, including North America, where it remains popular. 
Reasons for discontinuing the Camry in Japan

• Low domestic sales: The Camry was selling poorly in Japan, with only 6,000 units sold in 2022, making up a small fraction of its global sales. 
• Shift in consumer preference: Japanese consumers have increasingly favored SUVs and crossovers over sedans, a trend that hurt sales. 
• Market overlap with the Crown: The Crown, which Toyota has reinvented as a quasi-crossover, fills a similar market role as the Camry, leading Toyota to focus on that model in Japan. 

The Camry's future in other markets

• Continued global production: The Camry will continue to be produced for other markets where it is popular, such as the United States. 
• Strong sales in North America: The Camry remains a strong seller in the U.S., which is one of its largest markets. 
• New generation: A new generation of the Camry is planned for markets outside of Japan.
