"No exposed exhausts because why would you dirty up a clean design!" Finally! Now those are wise words considering too many other reviewers moan about a rear design without exposed exhausts, like it's such a power trip that is the last cue to a satisfying automative design. LOL. Ironically, the driver display reminds you to "sit up!" considering you have to slouch in the rear seat just to avoid the ceiling from hitting your head. Haha!!! I agree with you that blue hue is such a gem! 😝Stellar review as always M.
Regarding the front LED DRL accent lights, there is no difference between the XLE and XSE. They both feature the same standard setup: white during the day, amber at night, and amber when they’re employed as blinking turn signals (day or night). The SE and LE do not receive these LED DRLs, nor do they receive the XLE’s and XSE’s dual projection LED headlights. The two lower trims also do not receive the rear LED tail lights that come standard on the two upper trims.
Awesome review boys 👏🙌 I’ve test driven one here in Aussieland and was super impressed which I never thought I would say that about a Camry. Unfortunately we don’t get that gorgeous Ocean gem colour here 😢 however I will be ordering one in Jasper red this year some time. Keep up the excellent work and sending you Aussie positive vibes and love 🇦🇺❤️
I’ve only had that problem once in the 2 months I’ve owned it. Popped up yesterday. Not sure why but it has soon updated while driving and after hit “forget this device” I paired my phone again and it worked no problem. That issue went away. 2025 LE. Not sure about other models. Possibly a firmware issue. I’d ask Toyota about that.
I’ve experienced that when using the remote start from the Toyota app. I have to turn the car off and then back on again to get it to sync. If you register your phone as a digital key and you also have the key fob with you, that can also confuse the CarPlay sync.
Im driving the previous camry hybrid version. I hate all the warning beeps. It takes me a while to figure out why its so angry all the time. Is the annoying warning beep still there?
I drove from LA to Vegas and had no beeps on dynamic cruise control while using 10am/2pm hand placement. I dunno if you were driving locally with more traffic which is not ideal?
Beeps when I open door. Beeps when I put a stuffed toy in the backseat. Lane assist beeps especially after snow and icy roads. Its useful when RCTA beeps when I back up but the RCTA bright light is on all the time so I turned it off. Its the same high pitched loud Beep for a dozen conditions. They need to change the beep to a calm voice explaining the issue. Or a soft sound that gets louder with danger.
At least you’re getting a lot for that $. 45-50 mpg, AWD and a decently powerful drivetrain? Handsome styling, state of the art infotainment with big screens…Lots of luxury features and Toyota reliability. There’s a reason this car is a legend.
Sorry but that grill is cheap looking compared to my 2020. I noticed that the 2026 is eventually going back to the 2020 looking grill. As with everything they are making things cheaper but costing more, personally I prefer all fuel cars, at least give me an option
It looks worse than the 8th gen, the interior has more shiny black plastic, the rear door panels are cheaper than before, and no more of their silky smooth 3.5L V6 My 2020 XSE v6 is a lot better than this new one

Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! Camry or Accord?
CAMRY without a question
The latest gen Camry is very very good, I can't wait to see if they can replicate their magic to the new gen RAV4
@@Jiggysaw yeah very anxious to see what’s coming with the new Rav
I have the xse in underground. Great car. Did alot od research to pick this over the accord or sonata. Glad I got it.

Cheaper out on XSE by eliminating the memory seats and rain sensing wipers on the XLE.
makes sense
My xse was still 41k.

Yup me too. you have to go to settings and do it. Its kinda annoying. The Bluetooth is fine though, suprsingly.
That's an issue. Try wired?

Gotten expensive this car
Every car has lol. Civic and Corolla are priced at what Camry and Honda were 10 years ago

You're right. 2024's xse grille looks more robust than 2025's one piece grille
I would rather buy a Murano 2025 for more luxury more features more fun with few grands up.
