Some of us still want sedans. Not an SUV guy
Renting an LE this week, getting 51mpg in 3 days of driving. Drives very smooth and gives a nice shove from the electric motor when merging or passing.
I think is cool you can drive a base trim and feel like it's a huge penalty. You get the same shove regardless. Maybe even a little more.
I'm not a big fan to Toyota, but in their defense, I rent a lot a vehicles when traveling to film, and the Camry I got in one of my rentals, was the only vehicle that had no issues with any of the safety features. The Ranger I got in NC was flat out dangerous if I tried to use lane keep or adaptive cruise. Lane keep tried to jerk me back into the lane when I had to swerve to keep from getting sideswiped from someone changing lanes into my lane on the freeway. Jerked me back so hard it almost went into a tailspin. Adaptive cruise would come up on someone and nearly rear end them before it would slam on the brakes, it would drop back and rinse and repeat. The Chevy Impala I had in Texas, blew a fuse while driving at night and I had no tail lights while driving on the 2 lane FM roads (in Texas FM is a paved farm road). Until I got pulled over I had no idea I had no tail lights as there was no warning that they weren't on. All I knew is that every time a truck would come up on me they would nearly rear end me before they changed lanes and passed me. People drive really fast in Texas. The Jeep Grand Cherokee I had in Mississippi only had auto headlights for the brights, and if I was on any road that had even the slightest bit of light, I couldn't use the brights.
I despise lane assist...shit will get u killed..trying to vibrate u back in order. I need it all turned off.
I've started driving a sedan since last year after years of SUVs. And man it's a treat to look at. And rides better and better mpg
What a great father son team!
The base model without those huge garish wheels and trying to be something the car is not in a sport sedan it’s a comfort sedan the LE is perfect and much better mileage, quieter ride, smaller wheels and smoother ride is the main thing thing for me
I absolutely agree. For the first time in my car-buying life I'd for sure go for the base model, for the better mileage and smoother ride. I was really looking forward to finding an LE as my new car but sadly, that front end is a deal killer. I live in the suburbs, with occasional trips into the city where tight parallel parking on the street is common, and simple bumps by other drivers into my front end is gonna do a number on that lattice grille, and probably pretty darn quickly, too. And then I'll end up hating the car.
I bought an LE FWD with conv and cold weather packages. I agree with everything you said except quiet ride. It has a lot of road noise very un-Camry like. I hope switching out the goodyears in a year will improve it. I had a 21 LE hybrid for work and the engine is noticeably quieter now but I do notice bumps a bit more, slightly less soft suspension. I can hyper-mill this thing and get over 60mpg if I drive like grandma.
@@glassrockpurple154Definitely switching out the Goodyears for something like a Michelin will greatly reduce that road noise. I noticed that Toyota shipped out camrys with just about every brand of tire available. Most tire experts will tell you the Goodyears are probably the noisiest of the major brands. My SE has Hankooks. When reviews were all showing the more expensive Continental pro-contacts. 'Not a deal-breaker I still thought it was BS. We have a 22 Civic sport touring. And every single one of those cars were all shipped with the same tires being shown in the reviews.
Conti pro contacts.
Got my 2025 Camry LE with convenience package for 29k OTD:)
congrats on the new car - a good choice IMHO
@@seanh2390 thanks
before tax?
@@alextyshkevich8210 OTD means out the door. That means it includes everything
which state did you purchase in?
Do you wanna know why the hood is heavy? It deadens the vibrations and helps the road noise. Now the elite way is to use twin latches like BMW and some of the Lexus, but this is much cheaper solution and it works.
I recently bought a 2025 Camry LE. Love the car. Easy to drive it in a way to exceed the sticker mpg. Plenty of acceleration, feels as quick as my last car, a 305hp V6 Impala.
Damn that's actually a really good looking car. The red leather is nice
LOL I love how they go between the ' No head room in the back here Tommy, to.... ' I love this color combo ' in record time....
What’s laughable, their objectiveness?
a station wagon would be nice, for better cargo space like rav4, but better mpg
I never thought I would use the words Camry and gorgeous in the same sentence, I always thought of them as reliable and boring appliances just meant to take you from point A to point B, but this new Camry really has styling inside and out, and the hybrid efficiency is a real plus. Might consider getting one in the future
Interior is great. The front? I like the previous design better
Gloss black in the interior should be ilegal
Toyota needs to revamp their design team
my mazda 3 has that and its a scratch magnet nightmare i agree!
@mileskt9232 my 2023 grand cherokee also it looks terrible
Toyota's eCVT is bullet proof with a real first gear
There’s no first gear. You’re thinking the corolla non hybrid with the CVT
Wrong. The hybrid uses a planetary gear type CVT--the same design that they have used in the Prius for 20 years-plus.
The new Toyota eCVT is different. The electric motor takes over the first gear. It makes the car faster and quieter
Planetary gears. Nothing like your Nissan CVT. Way more reliable. Toyota actually sells the design to ford for the hybrid maverick
Roman is 100% right. Everything he said is spot on except "no one is buying sedans". Toyota sells 220,000 Camrys and and almost the same number of Corollas. Honda sells tons of Civics and Accords. Add the Germans and Koreans there's a Million sedans still being sold every year. Granted, far fewer than before but a million sedans isn't "nobody buying. ...It must suck to be so tall tho.
Yeah that’s a rather embarrassing statement he made is he unaware of sales numbers for Camry’s and Corolla‘s and accords and civics and the Hyundai and Kia sedans as well?
Yep. Even Ford is second guessing their decision to discontinue selling sedans.
He was correct because Toyota used to sell 500000 Camrys a year and half that number in rav4’s now it has reversed. The total number of SUV’s is way more than sedans not even close. But there still is a market for Camry’s etc. and that is why Toyota and make them, profit is profit. The big three’s were garbage that is why they don’t sell anymore
@@raymikes1234I agree
@@raymikes1234 Yes your statement is correct but he was extreme he said no one’s buying sedans yet hundreds of thousands still being sold is not a correct statement saying no one by sedans lol
Where is the Camry Prime? 40 miles of all electric range would be awesome...
Previous 8th Gen 2.5 was a fuel miser which could easily get over 40mpg on the highway. Even the 301hp V6 TRD could sniff 34mpg highway. RIP fully ICE Camry.
Lexus es350 with the 3.5L could get low 30s mpg at 80mph. It was around town that fuel mileage took a big hit. The hybrids do a lot better in stop and go driving.
@@OttoTetrazzini admissions from the EPA mandate is a big reason for doing all hybrid also
I’ve gotten as much as 41mpg on the highway in my 2020 v6 Camry XSE
@@jonathanratliff4780I’d say it’s the ONLY reason. The Prius is the logical choice for consumers needing the ultimate fuel efficient vehicle.
@@naveenthemachineYou must be doing some serious hypermiling. I imagine I could get near that if I kept cruise at 65mph in ECO mode - and hid behind a semi trailer.
34mpg is still phenomenal for cars that are comfortable daily drivers that also pull low 14s in the 1/4 mile and - when maintained- will run easily to 300k miles.
MPG penalty is more of a function of wheel size vs FWD/AWD. The 2025 Toyota Camry LE AWD has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 51 mpg city, 49 mpg highway, and 50 mpg combined
There is only a 1 combined mpg penalty in the LE trim for AWD
The bigger 18 inch wheels kills the mpg
@@mrnarason - Only safe to drive with 16” wheels on Michigan Moon cratered roads
I personally like sedans!!! Less expensive is better for my wallet. High 40's just kills my budget.
Good lookin sedan. It would be my choice with the awd.
I just got an SE for 33k, fantastic car, 44-45 mpg commuting, 47 on long trips.
Best looking mid size sedan & best in class
I totally agree with Roman. If I will buy 2025 Camry I will put my money for an LE (With Convenience package) Because the goal of having a Camry is the value for money. You are getting the most reliable car and very efficient and the LE this year has a lot to offer compared to previous years. If I have 40k to spend on a car I will not buy Camry. No point of spending hat much money on Camry I will rather buy very low mileage certified used Mercedes C class for example. because if I can afford to use 40k (do not forget you will also add taxes) I don't really care much about fuel efficiency because you already paid the difference :-)
Did Tommy say he was 6’ tall? I thought he said in older videos that he was 6’1”, is he shrinking? 😄
Almost 45K for a Camry is insane. Now the Camry is super reliable, and looks okay even though the last gen XSE looks better I think.
Base price in $28,400.
@@user-vx7vi3vq1c yes but you want get any thing special or find one for that price either
In my country xse will be 60-65k!!!😢😢
Just bought one! Thanks for the help!!
Exterior nice but interior looks cramp, don't mind hybrid powertrain but prefer FWD for better mpg.
Nice sedan and decent price, thank you Roman and Tommy
As someone that has owned 7 Honda’s including 3 Accords the current Camry looks much better than the Honda.
More dad jokes from the Dad-a base? Keep those coming!
Picked up an xse for 37ish, and its been great so far
Just signed a deposit on an LE that's still in factory. Gotta wait till October
IM BUYING ONE LORD WILLING
As soon as my '20 Tacoma is paid off, which is soon I am going to be buying a new Camry. It will be a lower trim but with my (recently changed) 70 mile round trip commute, and my age I see both my Tacoma and my eventual Camry being the last vehicles I buy in my life, outside of random cheap fun bash it and scrap rigs.
My 07 v6 Camry was a bit much. Crazy torque steer, I am ready for a nice cruiser at 50mpg.
I still love the 02-06 camry better tho im not a fan of sedans
That grill gives me the heebie-jeebies 😂
In my opinion the Honda Accord is less cramped and put together better.
But it's so ugly
@@jcw5007 Looks are subjective. But I totally agree the out side is ugly. Looks like a late model Ford sedan very plain. But The interior is top-notch one of the best in its class in my opinion.
With 53 mpg highway and a fuel cell or 2, this thing could have an interesting Cannonball time
Thank you,Tommy & Roman for another great review. The Camry is even more compelling to buy now, with the AWD available thru all models as you said. That, combined with great gas mpg is nearly unbeatable in an ice car.
For the life of me, I don’t know what is the great attraction of SUV’s and CUV’s over cars. More room for people and things, presumably, but there’s a great imbalance now. Corvette, Cadillac, and Mustang coupe are all the domestic cars still available now?! I long for the days when coupes, convertibles, and sedans ruled. Most likely, the trend will change once again, but how long will that take?
Thanks again, gentlemen.
How do you figure the Camry is the sedan with the best MPG? There are others that do better. Maybe you meant in it's size class? Lots of smaller cars with better mileage.
Good looking car with amazing gas mileage BUT I saw the 2025 parked side-by-side with a 2024 and the only difference is I could see were the front nose cap and the tail lights. The rest of the body appeared to be identical. To me that seems more like a refresh than a new model. While the price has increased, Toyota is cutting back such as no hood struts on such a heavy metal hood which I believe in the past was aluminum. Also, I noticed that on the trunk they no longer even attempt to cover up the wiring going to the hinges as they did in the previous generation. Not a fan of the microfiber interior trim. I'm fine with microfiber on a towel I use to clean my car personally, I think they could have chosen some better material or fabric.
Nice redesign. Not sure why the XSE does not even offer a memory driver’s seat but the XLE does….
Love that interior exterior colour combination.
The new Camry are not bad I’ll definitely pick it over the Accord 😀
I would not even consider 43K for a Camry. Or Accord. I would pay 34 OTD for a nicely equipped SE.
I remember the Panasonic shaver I bought 5 years ago
I got a nicely equipped SE model with two option packages for $31K.
If they would have kept it around 35k it would probably attract more buyers. Being a car that’s over 40k you have way too many other options for vehicles including SUVs that most buyers would rather seat themselves in🤷♂️
top trim always been the 40k range where have been? if you want value you go their base or mid range
A70 Supra vibe on the front end between the headlights.
I'm more excited about the Honda Civic hatchback hybrid. Can't wait to see how that stacks up to this.
I agree buy the LE model, That is what I have and love it.
With a name like Camry ; it will never be aggressive.
I have the same problem, the roof is too low and my head slam the side of the thick side of the sun roof. (Driver seat)
I've yet to sit in a base model w/o the sun roof - hoping for more head clearance.
Eric in Montréal.
The best looking color is in heavy metal- with gray interior. Buy the SE without the dumb sky roof, all the extra techno stuff, and you probably don't need the AWD. The LE 16 inch rims that you can't upgrade is a problem.
Yeah, I wish the LE came with 17"s. The 16s just look a bit small for a full sized sedan.
"Heavy hood," eh? I have a 2019 RAV4 Limited AWD, bought right in the beginning of the generation -- before the hybrid models were even available in the US. And it is "aluminum intensive." Aluminum hood. Aluminum front fenders. Aluminum in other body panels. Composite tailgate. So, I decided to look up "curb weights." My RAV4 is supposedly 3,620 lbs. Let's look at a more equivalent 2025 Camry model -- the XLE AWD. 3649 lbs. "Camry heavier than a RAV4." Yes, of course, "it's got a battery in it." But still. Oh, while we're here, how about the length? 2025 Camry is MORE THAN A FOOT longer than my 2019 RAV4. "Gosh, I can't buy a new Camry because it won't even FIT in my tiny little ancient garage."
Y’all need to do a mpg loop 100 mile loop on that thing and see what it gets
I wish they would make a stationwagon.....all the people that drive a lot would love that. VW draped the Jetta sportwagen. Toyota there are plenty of SUVS how about cool wagon
Working on that engine will be a nightmare
*Amazing video, you work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires*
Waking up every 14th of each month to $210,000 it’s a blessing to I and my family… Big gratitude to Ann Marie strunk 🙌
Hello , I am very interested. As you know, there are tons of investments out there and without solid knowledge, I can't decide what is best. Can you explain further how you invest and earn?
Same, I operate a wide- range of Investments with help from My Financial Adviser. My advice is to get a professional who will help you, plan and enhance your management skills. For the record, working with Ann Marie strunk, has been an amazing experience.
Hello how do you make such monthly?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🤦♀️ of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God
I'm favoured, $90K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America,, all thanks to Ann Marie strunk 😊🎉
I prefer the all gasoline version (2.5L or the 3.5L) but hey, at least this seems to be one of the "new" Toyota models that does not yet have engine, supercharger / transmission recall problems. Very well designed & put together for a new full size, fuel efficient family hauler.
The all gas versions have way more issues especially transmission issues. That is a boomer thing though
@@richards8872 Camry trannys have been pretty much bulletproof. Their hybrid eCVTs have been pretty decent too.
Quoting Roman: "Do you prefer the Toyota badge on your sedan or the Honda badge? They're very similar." Well, Toyota offers AWD and Honda doesn't. That's a big difference and would sway my decision. Offering AWD with the hybrid powertrain is a smart move on Toyota's part. You can get AWD on the Corolla Hybrid, Prius, Camry Hybrid, and Crown. Honda doesn't offer AWD on any version of their sedans, which have dwindled down to just the Civic and Accord. (When did the Insight and Clarity go away?)
Looking forward to seeing the slip test.
Too bad Honda can’t figure out AWD with the Accord.
Doesn’t need it. A fwd accord outhandles an AWD Camry
4 exhaust tips, a sporty display and a red interior do not compensate for FWD, CVT and I4 turbo.
If you're that concerned about fuel economy, just get an EV. Instant torque, higher HP and zero maintenance. If you want a traditional ICE engine with more punch, good 2017 and earlier sedans with a V6 are still available, just allow for maintenance and repairs.
*2 exhaust tips. The 2025 refresh removed the quad exhaust probably because it’s hybrid only
would never pay $45K (tax included) for a camry regardless of the trim levels. with inflation, I would only spend $25K so i'll wait for a certified one for 2025! Pretty happy with a 2016 LE right now (bought in 2019 for $15K drive out price with 40K miles).
44mpg and 50mpg don't seem different but you'd go over 60 more miles on a full tank of gas .
I live in New Jersey, which has scorching temperatures, so unfortunately, I need ventilated seats.
I would have liked to see your dad in the front seat. How is the head room for tall people? I'm 6'2" and concerned if it will be comfortable or not.
With car prices as awful as they are now, 43k doesn't sound horrible for a near-luxury car like this specific Camry. But I'd probably go with a Sonata hybrid
Good review!
Actually it has a 13gallon tank X 6 more mpg/gallon = 78 more miles.
those wheels are beautiful
The civic hybrid is competition with hatch option and more torque.
If car manufacturers would raise the seats/ground clearance in these low slung vehicles, they would certainly grant egress/ingress for older Americans. A more commanding view of the road as well. I know the Crown has more ground clearance but it is very expensive. I think the view of the road and seat height are the main reasons for the sedan's demise.
My 2018 BMW 328 diesel gets 50+ mpg....diesel will always be the fuel efficiency answer. I also have HUD.
The most important part of the car - the badging. Get that wrong and you might as well be walking.
The new front end is horrendous! It used to look so much better.
Much more aggressive generation? Previous generation was more aggressive look in front end. 2025 Xse model options, red sets and 2 tone paint would be only reason for not choosing SE Model. The solid color all around vs black grill which se has is step down in look imo.
The tires looks flat already! 😐
The new Camry looks ugly as hell
I think the weighted hood is for reducing engine noise......🙄
It'll probably be reliable, but Toyotas are boring to drive with mediocre build quality. The Accord is better in just about every aspect one can consider. As for the price, we are now to the point of normalizing nearly $44k for a midsize, non-luxury, family sedan? That's wild.
Agreed.
There are no boring cars just boring drivers 😉
You need to drive some of the current sport (SE, XSE) grades of the Corolla or Camry sedans and you’d change your mind. They are NOT the same cars from even 5 years ago. Also come from a 3 series. Won’t come close to BMW handling or passion, but it’s also a third of the price and is very good for what it is. Totally agree with you on the price points though. Also agree on Hondas but the ‘23+ Accords are ugly as sin. Civics are massively better looking, which is sad because the last gen Accord was a very good looking car.
@@msport4769 nope. They still don’t drive great. If you want German car handling get a Honda
I typically don’t like Asian designs: Japanese & Korean cars. This is actually a nice exterior form from Toyota.
That XSE front grille is ... too much ... to each his own, I guess. The Barbie dolls will enjoy the ride when the sun fades the red interior to pink. Long before the fading though, the red would become exhausting in short order. Other than those personal issues ... the LE/SE options are a better financial purchase as noted by others.
wow a little overpriced that's insane for a Camry
POOR REAR VISIBILITY-----but gorgeous looks all-around. Kinda disappointed that it's less dynamic than the Accord Hybird. Oh, and it's 3700 lbs. for the AWD :(
Any news about a plugin Camry?
Hey. An inexpensive excellent car.
675 mile range and refuels in 4 minutes.
Make it look like a luxus and charge $10k more for it !
I didn't know Tucker Carlson did car reviews.
can you sell me that wheel 😂😂😂😂 they removed my wheel option right before build date, and delivered my car yesterday without those 😭😭😭 love it anyway tho
As much as I like the redesign, I'm not going pay the Toyota tax for a mid sized car.
People will pay 50k for a low rider from Toyota????🤯🤯🤯

I’m not a Kia/Hyundai fan at all and do agree that Toyota and Honda make better cars. However you can’t ignore Toyota’s big recall on their TTV6 and the problems you’re starting to hear with the new Tacoma. Definitely agree with you but wanted to point out that not every manufacturer is perfect. Hyundai/Kia is just subpar😂
On PBS’s Motorweek, host John Davis was always excited when a car had “an aggressive front end,”which usually made me laugh. What benefit does the owner derive from having an aggressive-looking car? What exactly makes the car aggressive looking?
Why did they have to Hyundai the front headlights
I’ve driven this car alongside the Accord, and the Accord offers better driving dynamics with a more refined powertrain. I don’t have a preference for one brand over the other, but I ended up choosing the Accord. After about 600 miles, it’s averaging 49 MPG.
I don't care how much better the interior is, they botched that exterior
