No other German car manufacturers can give Toyota bulletproof reliability .. way to go Toyota
Mind you, this the highest selling Toyota car in USA. Even in Middle East, people simply love Toyota brand & Camry in particular. Unfortunately Indians do fall for German luxury cars. For me, the looks could have been more aggressive.

In USA it is two segments below German cars. Why it won't sell in Europe, South America and China? People go for Germans bcz of solid build quality and performance. In USA it costs less than 25 lakhs. In India you can get a Passat or superb for less money or Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar or Volvo sedans.
warlike tiger but german cars are very very unreliable cars. i live in australia and toyota beats all simple because it never breakdown. german cars are better to drive but they are very very expensive to repair. toyota is the most reliable brand in whole world.
@@dhaliwal089 Toyata has the highest recall rate. Now they also started using electronic assists to keep up with Germans and Hyundai which means they will start breaking down.
It’s not about Indians falling for German cars. It’s Toyota’s pricing of their cars in India.
The only reason the Camry is so famous in the United States is because it’s a gateway entry sedan. It’s priced cheap, and a daily driver and almost everyone, - taxis , noveau drivers & those on a budget would either purchase this or the Civic.
People's who prefer durability, comfort and technology invest ( buy ) in Toyota , last's for ages . A moving asset.
Obviously toyota.....because it means reliablity, and sturdiness.
A shame that the cost of the vehicle has shot up by 20% when the government should be supporting full hybrid vehicles. Definitely the smartest purchase, far superior than a C class or 3 series.
Such a bullet proof reliability...no other brand can offer such a luxury car with low maintenance cost...
One of the best and reliable car money can buy. Toyota is known for making quality products. I own a Toyota Camry and drives smooth as silk even after 13 years. Low maintenance is another key factor to buy this car.
Camry is good or accord
Insane price in India lol, this car costed me 30k AUD in Australia I.e 15 lacs if converted to INR
43% tax nothing to do thats why 37L in India
@@sathyanarayanans7449 this is a very ordinary car here and widely used.
I have been driving this car as a taxi for over a year in Australia, I can say it has been the best car I've ever driven uptil now.
Japanese cars are way more reliable and fail proof than german cars. Toyota engines are best in class and never fail.
No only toyota is reliable

False. VW focuses more on safety and mileage too. I drive a polo and I don’t think any other car has better braking system than a Polo. VW metal is quite hard.
@@rushabranawat anectodal
@@rushabranawat but toyotas tas are used in war zones around the world but gean cars aren't used. Why?
These units have proven their endurance by taking taxi duties in the middleeast. I've heared from cabbies that they hardly switch off engine, tyre change every 25 days etc. Yes, they run 24x7. I've seen myself outgoing model running strong after munching well over 500k in less than 3 years. Hands down option unless Toyota took shortcuts on Indian units.
baghyaraj m that's true,
I drive a 2015 cmry it has 180k miles on it and still drives as new, hands down best sendan
I don't this badge doesn't have the cloud.. well it might not have the luxury element.. bt what this Toyota badge has, none of audi, bmw or merc has that.. the bulletproof reliability.. thumbs up for Toyota & best of luck for camry..
Abir Kumar Bardhan exactly
When you are paying that much money there are many things matter firsr other than reliability. The cars won't break down, some electronics break, but they have been improved.
I would never buy useless Easily Worn out Germans over Japenese... Because Toyota is name of reliability and commuting not toy like MERC and bm
@@unclsam6798 i would go with non hybrid Camry theay are pretty reliable vehicles Or Lexus It is Toyota underneath... Of course you're paying money for luxury name..... Like Merc or bm(which are pretty unreliable machines and just toys in my frank opinion)
The down side to buying a Camry is the resale value. Sell this car in a couple of years an you are looking at a big loss, unlike the other german/swedish rivals, this doesnt retain value. Indianism maxed out! Unfortunate but it is what it is!
It is so wise choice to not include turbo charge it is Very long lasting engline and known for Reliability
A very pleasant commentary and an excellent review. He didn't mention how Toyota has a much better reputation for realibilty than the German marques.
I'm imagining the heat of India and hoping the climate control works well?
I'd choose the Skoda Superb or Volkswagen Passat rather than Camry.
Also, No Android Auto or Apple carplay in a Premium Sedan? Why do company take the customers for granted?
Comparing the cheaper Skoda Octavia RS with this Camry, the Skoda shines!
What points are you comparing ? Octavia RS stands absolutely no chance against Camry in terms of any practical performance. They both are of two different segments. Speaking of infotainment...yes it's a shame Toyota couldn't get it straight but it equalises it with better insensitives for the passenger backseat which cars in that segment don't do normally.
Bavant Malraj you have to sacrifice bulletproof reliability in Skoda
its hybrid though
Of course if you're into toys..... Germans make great cars but hey They are unreliable complicated vehicles
Because Camry owner would be the one who spent his time on back seat as Passenger as owner would have driver..... In india specific this is driver's car and company target those customers... And in 9 out of 10 it is the case
Toyota updated it well. Waiting for comparison videos
Request you to do a comparison between Skoda superb vs Toyota Camry.. waiting for your response ..
that is shot in ramoji film city in hyderabad
I am so happy because we are the part of Toyota family
The car now looks like the NASCAR Toyota Camry! Love it!!!!
Looks Superb stabilty control during speed.
Hi bro, Nice car review , it's excelent car , i really love this car , tq for this car review , jai Toyota 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I’m using this Car Camry 2018 in USA . Awesome one :)
XSE V6?
Everything is so nice.
Except the central console .
It's an eyesore .
The skoda has such a classy and elegant one.
But apart from that it is a beast
best car of world the toyota
i just love this brand😍
Hi Gaven another very good review from you.The way u speak about it is phenomenal, car is practical easy to drive,it's a car for those who like to drive around as well as driven around.after ur Urus review I like this review very much.Keep Rocking,keep doing what ur doing Always ROCKSSS....🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍
German cars … superb for 1-2 years , Toyota - Japanese manufactured making sure the car is highly reliable and run for years.
That’s Ramoji Film City...
It's looking much more elegant 😘
This car definitely beats the Audi A4, BMW 3-series and the Mercedes C-Class as far as VFM goes. Indian government has put so much taxes on the luxury brands that it's practically stupid to buy the entry level cars from Merc, BMW and Audi. I will definitely buy a car from this segment if not the Camry.
camry is the best car in the segment i have ever seen in my life
Toyota Camry 😘😍👏💐
Skoda Superb is still the best car in this segment, classy, luxurious and elegant
The thing is the Camry is more of a futuristic sedan now than an elegant premium saloon. It has got lot of potential and the looks are sharp, but the problem is that at a price of 40 lakh, it really doesn’t outshine the German competitors. The government needs to cut down on hybrid tax and actually provide a rebate. Indian government needs to learn a thing or two from the Middle East. If the Camry comes down to 30-33 lakhs it would be a perfect fit.
Skoda superb is arguably still the best car of the segment
That chrome strip on the front grill seems like a moustacehe.
Most of Taxis in Dubai UAE 🇦🇪 are Camrys but still they are popular in Middle East not only in US
What about it's performance on water logged road?
It does undercut the price of the Germans... But.. It's a Toyota... It will easily outlast any of the German luxury cars by a great mile.
Just wow.. Quite beautiful than older boring camrys.. From outside and inside.. But what about the sports version with red interior? I saw that in other review by a foreign youtuber( this ain't your dad's camary)
You must have seen the North American-spec 2018 Toyota Camry XSE 3.5L V6 (301 HP). Far better than the one we get in India.
Cant beat the toyota... But between the toyotas... Comes the corolla♥️
After fortuner and inova toyota finaly comes with something great..❤️
waiting for Toyota Corolla Altis facelift
But yeah it was gr8 😍😍
Toyota is for Reliability always. German cars stand for their driving dynamics and high luxury
Another level 🔥
A superb vs camry comparison would be wonderful
Please review the new 2019 Range Rover evogue I am already drooling for it though I know it’s not yet launched in India
Does it have Android auto and apple carplay
Last accord hybrid was really good but sadly did not sell much
toyata is for trust , quality which no other brand can provide
How much does it run on electric?
I live in nz and have driven the Camry quite a few times while traveling out of town and renting a car. It's a good car to cruise around in the city..but is horrible on curvy roads and just feels like a big boat....think that had got to do a lot with its suspensions....
Nice review Gavin bro 👍👍, I seriously waiting to see you to review on the All new India bound Honda Civic, on Feb/march.....
Cheers man! Hopefully I'll get the chance to do that one :)
The Non-hybrid version will be the best option if the price is less.
2019 you don't get that i guess
Non-hybrid versions are available, not in India. If you ain't that guy who is not fuel-conscious, get the 3.5L V6 which produces 301 HP.
I have this car. Toyota is simply the best.It starts from 37 lakhs.
where can I get this Camry old model spares
I saw this shoot in ramoji film city i was there
I must see how you review on the new BMW X4 😍🔥
Here you go : ruclips.net/video/i0thPsaP0WY/видео.html
I didn't get a chance to drive it, but my colleague Shapur came away quite impressed.
Am I the only one to get little Lexus feel from this car's exterior?!!!🤔
Yes
Zeel Surani Lexus are expensive Toyotas so..
After 30 lakh mark there are SUVs like Fortuner, Endeavour, Kodiaq. So I think people will go for those. And if they absolutely want a sedan there are options like Audi A3, Mercedes CLA, Volvo S60.
I have heard that BMWs and Audi's spend more time in service center than on roads. And if a person wants to buy a sedan why would he or she buy an SUV even if the price is the same?
So what is the MPG? Or kilometres Per litre?
Will it give competition to accord?
Karnataka registered test drive car in Ramoji Film City.. Interesting..
There have a lot of instances of airbags not inflating in Toyota cars in India be it the etios, fortuner or innova. So much banter about reliability of the brand here. I'd say the airbag not being reliable is a huge concern.
Do the front or back seats have massagers??
& does it also have a bath tub and a flat bed too ?
Is it a rear wheel drive
Great car
if it had a better screen and a way cheaper diesel engine, this would sell like hot cakes. the shape & exterior are really eye catching.
Is this place Ramoji Film City?
Pls compare it with superb
I'm buying this car very soon..
Awesome
toyota camry vs skoda superb
Superb wins bcz of performance, build quality, dsg gearbox and top end diesel costs 6 lakhs less with more features.
Camry
No no
2019 Toyota Avalon Limited V6 vs 2019 Nissan Maxima Platinum w/ Reserve Package vs 2019 Kia Cadenza SX-L vs Skoda Superb
@@unclsam6798 but cvt is more reliable than a dsg/dct rest everything you wrote is on point.
where is this location in karnataka. exact location
is that place ramoji film city Hyderabad ?
I'd buy this over any entry level luxury car brand like Audi and merc but new 3-series is just better
My favourite car
It will do wonder to those owner who want low fuel expenses and luxury along with it. Toyota is known for it's reliability. But Price is a problem. If we ignore it. Then it is a car to go for it.
But it's nice you get good featured
Where is this location?
I might prefer the 3.5l XSE V6 which has 301 hp that rockets off the line from 0-60 in 5.7 sec
Unfortunately India does not get that engine 🙄
It also rockets off the fuel full indication to low in just few seconds.LoL
Do India have roads for such a speed? Only few expressways and people don't drive sane.
tiago xe option or wagon r vxi
Location is Ramoji Film City
I would like Toyota to step up the infotainment system
Apple carplay option in camry is available in many countries why not india
Ismail S.M because it's India
Adding that feature will push the car's price to 50 lksh...
The bumper grill looks like the car has teeth braces 🙄
🤣🤣
Haha
@@harjeev98 you're right! And that's why I booked a silver variant and believe me it's gorgeous.
What Toyota offers no other German car brands can that's Reliability and value for money...
What is the price??
People in India do not know how awesome the camry is! or perhaps its too expensive in india.
This is the best taxi car here in the USA for a reason. Don't hate new Camry I damn sure you regret later. This is well priced as well. This car has a bulletproof 2.5 NA engine Toyota is perfecting this engine for more than 10 years combined with the world-class hybrid power plant. NYC TAXI CAMRY'S DRIVEN 360-500 km/day in and around the NYC for 365 days straight no problem. Don't get me wrong I like and having German cars in my garage but Toyota hybrids are in for someone in future(They will definitely smart about their life)
Is this car is you? read below
* When you need 1000kms from one tank fill up
* Parts are very cheap to buy if it breaks (but I doubt it) and hybrid battery is good for 500,000 km proven in the USA
* No maintenance needed for 500,000 km(except oil changes, timing belt replacement, and brake pads) this cost nothing compare german cars
* Tell me a car manufactures in the world that thinks like Toyota. Every other car manufacturers in the world want their cars to break down at a certain point so that you can buy their new car.
Twist The Wrist are you an Indian in USA?
How can I join autocar india
I am sure this camry sales gonna increase if the toyota modify few interior things like removing plastic buttons,updating media player.
Good car well done Toyota
This car and Toyota Corolla are used as a standard taxi car in UAE.
I am from India and in the country which I stay uses Camry i4 2.0 as a taxi
Can we expect a comparison between Toyota Camry and Skoda Superb
Cost of manufacturing a Camry is 20k USD, and priced 80k USD, it's a loot.
this car looks good...but wait for all new accord which looks stunning...both of them are available in middle-east a long ago.
Is this a DCT
