I have a 2024 Camry SE with the 2.5L and 8 speed transmission. Traveling from St. Augustine to just outside Orlando I averaged 45 mpg traveling around 70mph on the interstate. Around town I only get around 26mpg but on an interstate with a steady speed the car punches above the EPA ratings. I am very impressed.
We bought one of those 2024 VW Jettas that you reviewed. It was $20300 out the door . My wife and daughter love the peppy little 1.5 liter turbo and we have gotten 40-41 per gallon on the highway.
I have a 2020 Hybrid LE gets 48 easy. Currently at 205,000 miles. Soild cars only drawbacks is the seats 💺 suck on long drives and I do alot of driving. Going to upgrade to XLE next month or ES depending on availability.
I got 58 in a base model LE on a trip to St. George and back last week. 759 miles. So yes, the fuel economy is off the charts. Your test wasn't a good representation.
if the new Camry gets 40 mpg at 4000 ft and not broken in, I think it will easily get 46 mpg. I have a 2020 Camry Hybrid LE and it easily gets 48;mpg in the winter and 52 in warmer weather. I’ve owned 4 Toyota Hybrids and their mileage improves more than most vehicles when broken in.
I get what the EPA says, and even a little bit more around town. It’s probably because of the elevation that you’re at and that the car isn’t broken in.
Ben; you have to be in ECO drive mode to see the numbers it is rated for. Your instrument cluster isn’t showing that you are in the correct mode for the high fuel rating. I drive for Toyota and have driven a ‘25 LE Camry. It is rated at 51 mpg and get’s every bit of that and more easily.
There’s a knack to driving a hybrid. I have a ‘24 Camry LE hybrid (which is rated a little higher than the SE) with 4500 miles. I don’t “hyper-mile”…but driven conservatively, I haven’t had a tank less than 50mpg yet. Around town (combined city/freeway) I usually get around 55-60.
The last gen Camry easily beat its EPA estimates, the new Camry hybrid design is significantly more efficient, so I have no doubt it will get better than the EPA estimates. It also doesn’t look like the vehicle is broken in. Toyotas 4th and 5th gen hybrid system, learns your driving style and terrain and then adapts to it to give you the best mpg, so brand new you won’t get the high mpgs until you break it in. That’s how it went with my 2021 Toyota Venza
Change your new oil at 2000 miles. That's enough break in for the engine to start giving you the right mpg and an early oil change gets rid of any metal shavings from the break in. Only use full synthetic at the right weight.
I test drove that new Hybrid Camry (I was just curious) In my view, I find my TRD Camry to be far more superior. The car salesman even suggested that I trade my TRD to that Hybrid Camry. I laughed and I firmly declined. Are you kidding me😆
A bit too much accel between short stop sign/lights and a bit too late on breaking messes up mpg, and watching your speeds in parking lot and first light you accel more than me and break more than me. Hard acceleration merging will really kill the mpg on a short trip. I had 2017 Cruise and got 42 mpg highway doing 57 miles per hour, even reaching 48 mpg using cruise control on long flat stretches while getting 34 city with very smooth accel and braking. My sister bought my car and immediately only got 37 highway and 25 city. I can't ride with her, my niece, or my oldest brother as they all act like it is a race between stop lights and signs giving me motion sickness and a rollercoaster ride feeling. I have had several vehicles make it 90,000 miles before needing brakes while my sister is getting her 3rd set at that time.
People need to be educated on driving hybrids to get the best out of them as you drive them completely different to a petrol or diesel car, you need to drive smoothly and only accelerate hard once the engine kicks in to get up to the required road speed and then just use very light throttle to maintain speed, also you need to anticipate far ahead and lift off the accelerator long before the junction and get the best out of the regeneration, far to many car journalists or you tube reviewers floor the accelerator and brake last second and then slate the car for getting poor fuel economy, I'm on my second Corolla hybrid and average 70 mpg UK and have achieved 80 on several occasions by driving the way I described
He needs to drive in the northeast. Most cars have problems before 70k miles because of potholes but do better in better roads. Even semi trucks do horribly in the northeast and require more maintenance. Tires, wheels and wheel hubs, suspension, creaks and sounds from the interior.
At this elevation level it did great i'm sure between the 2 systems the mpg felt it but your feel kept up decently... My last 23 altima use to get 26 city 43 highway w/o any special tech at the lower elevation levels, just simple 4cyl no auto start /stop version ... but I gotta admit going from the 95ft elevation to the almost 1,900 ft couple times a week mpg drops below 38 very easy and you can feel rpm stays up as vehicle slows down a lot ...
I rented a 2025 camry in Virginia Beach near sea level and the ave was 53 mpg over its 6000 miles of driving by all those people who rented it before me. I also drive a 21 Sienna that has yielded an ave of 40 mpg over 47k miles. A hybrid with its 2 or 3 electric motors provides higher mpg in slow traffic with battery power without using the engine. 0:03
I ordered white black leather.. imo will last longer look newer alot longer than red... pearl and white look. The same except more cost for pearl ..and if u ever get accident pearl is harder to match which I seen cars driving around slightly off
Vacillating between a new SE with the good stuff added or wait and see if the Civic is any good. The Accord looks off IMO. Two days later. I just wanted to look at them. Why did it follow me home. I actually drove it. I got almost $2500 off MSRP

Purchased a 2024 Corolla hybrid rated at 54 mpg but I drove like I’d drive my Mercedes and was only getting 47Mpg. Owners of hybrid cars start not living life! They have to be slow on a gas pedal 😂
mosy people would have filled the fuel tank, drove it and tallied the miles traveled, refilled the tank and done the math, rather than rely on the powertrain module to calculate it, I guess I grew up with vehicles that didnt have trip computers
Great fuel economy test Ben! How is the hybrid braking feel? Does it have the braking feel of a gasoline car or does it have that weird spongey feel of.a hybrid car?
@@BenHardyCars Thank you amigo! Don't let the haters get you down, some people here will support a certain carmaker no matter what but I appreciate you doing this fuel economy test. I've been a loyal subscriber for many years now and that ain't gonna change!!
Every Honda and Toyota I have ever owned has gotten better mpg than the rating. Do you own a hybrid? There is a technique to driving one. My 22 Honda insight is rated at 50 mpg combined and I have averaged 58.5 mpg over 37k miles. The LE is rated at 52 mpg. We have a 2018 Camry hybrid and I can get over 50mpg in it, with no issues. The 2018 was rated about the same as this one and it was the xle without the lithium battery. I have lost all respect for you! You have no idea what you are doing! Blah , blah,blah !
It’s the lithium Ion batteries. They need a little temperature to them before they’re working optimally. They suck on short drives, but they’re amazing on longer trips.
@brokeboy87 it's true that they are better suited for highway driving, but all hybrids will benefit from city driving because of the stop and go nature.
Toyotas' EPA are most likely not correct info. 2017 NX hybrid, Warm weather without A/C averaged 33mpg combined. In Winter, 26-28 mpg with heater on. EPA 30-33hwy. Have to really easy on gas and try hard with EV only most of driving then could achieve possible
Wow this guy is really insane many points wrong 😅 1. You didn't drive enough. 2. Most of your driving of highway. 3. Please remember that in hybrid brake regenerated energy change the battery. And so on.......... A friend in the city get 48 to 51 every day. He is so happy. Next time make your homework before any car review.
The new camry is junk. Less ground clearance. Less head room. Still using bulbs on the cheap models. I like toyota but they hate sedans. I am looking at the legacy.

Same with my 22 Camry on the highway. Very impressed since it’s an ICE only vehicle
Is it best to use the cruise contronl on the highway?. I drive from Tampa to Sumter County daily. Just bought a 2025
@@justrich9873I use cruise in my Venza to maintain good mpg. It really helps.
Engine hasn't even been broken in yet. After about 2K miles, fuel economy should increase quite a bit.
heard that too after around 1800 miles it comes to the announced digits
Put the crack pipe down bro! Break in has nothing to do with the fuel mileage.
@@Ljbuddy12break in period absolutely affects mpg. Also short trips and driving on local roads will skew the numbers as well
What a load this review is.
I have 1000 miles on my Camry se 2025 in nyc I’m doing 51 mpg so it depends on how you drive and it have AWD
We bought one of those 2024 VW Jettas that you reviewed. It was $20300 out the door . My wife and daughter love the peppy little 1.5 liter turbo and we have gotten 40-41 per gallon on the highway.
Was that with a trade in?
Impressive price for a brand new car. Enjoy : )
We have two Camry hybrids. The 2021 LE gets around 50 MPG and 2023 SE gets around 46 MPG. Very nice driving cars.

I’m currently getting 50mpg in my 23 Venza. This guy obviously doesn’t know Toyotas hybrids.
Sometimes, there is a discrepancy between the car and the pump. 40 mpg is still a good number, but it's not impressive in the hybrid world.
I get what the EPA says, and even a little bit more around town. It’s probably because of the elevation that you’re at and that the car isn’t broken in.
"it's very smooth" DUDE! THE CAR IS BRAND NEW AND YOU'RE GOING 22MPH! WERE YOU EXPECTING SOMETHING DIFFERENT? IF SO, EXPLAIN!
No seriously every new car is smooth
Feel better now? Glad you got that out of your system.
I have over 600 miles driven on my 2025 Camry and its right at 45 MPG. Same model tested.
How many miles to a full tank do you get and how much is it to fill the tank?
Ben; you have to be in ECO drive mode to see the numbers it is rated for. Your instrument cluster isn’t showing that you are in the correct mode for the high fuel rating. I drive for Toyota and have driven a ‘25 LE Camry. It is rated at 51 mpg and get’s every bit of that and more easily.

You have to wait for it to break in for the MPGs to go up…. Most ppl throughout their ownership of the car get more mpgs than advertised

I believe EPA fuel economy tests only average 48 mph so the highway number is typically not accurate. It’s how Daily Motor starts all his mpg tests.

should do 45 at sea level after you put 30,000 mile s on it..

I like the 2024 V6 TRD Camry personally.
It seems like you’ve gone anti-Toyota before it’s even broken in.
