It originally was launched as the Toyota Celica Camry in 1980 for the Japanese home market. This model was essentially a Toyota Carina with a Celica front. In 1982, the Camry became an independent model line, and was a mid-sized four-door and five-door sedan. There were limited exports, predominantly to right-hand-drive markets. At this point, Camry was positioned above the Carina and Corona, two other mid-sized models made by Toyota.

The third-generation model débuted in 1986, and included a station wagon (though no hatchback). At this point, it was still regarded as a mid-sized car.

The fourth-generation Camry ( 1991, in the US as a 1992 model year car) that was exported is regarded as the first to break into the large-car market, or what Toyota billed at the time as "world-sized". A three-litre version was added. However, in Japan, the 1991 Camry was a different vehicle, which shared its doors and fenders with the exported model, but was limited to the 1,700 mm width required to fit into a lower tax bracket (the 'number 5' bracket). The wider export model was called the Toyota Specter in its home market.

From this point, until 2002, the Camry sold in Japan became different to the one sold elsewhere and retained the 1,700 mm width.

For 1996, the fifth-generation Camry continued the same theme. In the United States, a coupé model called the Solara was added.

In 2002, the latest Toyota Camry was released as a larger sedan (taking styling cues from the successful CorollaSee also Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno Toyota Corolla Manufacturer:Toyota Production: 1960s to date Class: Sedan Performance Body Styles:3-door hatchback5-door hatchback4-door sedan5-door station wagon5-door minivan2-door coupe Similar models: Mazda 323 Hon and Solara coupé) only, with no station wagon counterpart. The Japanese models were brought in line with the export ones, sharing the wider 1,795 mm width.
