2018 Camry XSE V6 0-136mph. Car is electronically limited to 135mph but was accelerating hard enough to balloon past limiter to 136mph. Car has a lot more mph once limiter can be disabled only mod to car is STE Performance muffler deletes. Video of muffler deletes can be found on link below.
• 2018 Toyota Camry XSE ...
The 8spd gearbox really holds the 0-60 back. However the 3.5L V6 is really good - great to see Toyota continue to sell it despite declining demand in the wake of SUV fever
its the wheelspin, not the transmission.
@@jxmar_ its not, its the wheelspin. Wheelspin kills speed. If he had TC on he would have a better 0-60 time. Look at videos where TC is enabled, its much faster and it doesnt shift early (it shifted early because it was at redline before the wheels could get grip. The car thought it was going faster than it really was).
Also, look at the gear ratios of the 8 speed, its on par with other 8 speeds in the industry.
No it doesn’t.. it’s crazy how nobody in these comments seems to understand a thing about ratios or finals drives but okay. The 8 speed is better in every way
@@bpearr8266actually the previous generation of v6 camry had better ratio despite the fact that it had 6 gears. I don't know why they give it 2 more gears with worse ratio?!! From what I know more gears=better ratio
@@n_u001 if wheelspin is the issue then clearly the transmission ratios are too short, in this case 1st gear is definitely too short. Giving it another 5-10 mph of room in 1st will not only help keep the wheels from spinning, but also it'll be further in the power band better when hitting 2nd.
I feel like it would be way faster with shorter gears. To me it looks like it slows down alot after shifting but the top end of the engine is pretty strong.
The new Avalon has shorter gears and it’s slower.
The space between 1-2 and 2-3 is what is killing acceleration.
The RPM’s should NEVER drop below 5,000rpm in an 8 speed auto.
All of the power this engine makes is felt after 5,500 RPM. So really, it’s a pretty big ass loss in power after every shift.
Charlie The Avalon is slower because its heavier. The shorter gearing would make the Camry much faster. Also since this is naturally aspirated it makes power on the high end so the gearing should be shorter anyways
Raafid K the avalon’s only like 200 pounds heavier.
Shorter gears help only the turbo vehicles as it keeps the boost pressure high. On an NA engine where the powerband flatlines around 4000-5500 there is zero reason to not use the entire power band and not waste time on shifts.
@@singular9 You have no idea what you are talking about. The gearing has nothing to do with boost pressure. If anything if you have shorter gears in a turbo car you will actually be out of boost more often as you will shift earlier. Having short gears in a turbo car, one that generally has a broad torque curve which most factory turbo cars have is actually going to be slower. Modern na engines like to rev out to get the most power so what you are saying is flipped. You want to be revving out this toyota v6. Look at peak hp rpms, not peak tq rpm values.
That 0-60 was slow but then it just kept going like damn alright
Moist Chungus the 1-2 shift just kills the 0-60 times. But she is great on the highway. The car pulls as hard at 130 as it does at 60. I can’t wait to find a way to recover the limiter because it has way mph in it.
It still hits 60 in a little over 6 seconds which is still quicker than most cars on the road. It just seems slow when it shifts into second because of how the tranny is set up. 2nd gear is way too tall especially considering its an 8 speed.
92ASC 6 seconds ain't bad but I have a bias for the taurus sho
Moist Chungus SHOs are quick, but they don't even compete with the Camry, especially not a SHO. The Avalon would be a more direct competitor, but Toyota doesn't make a high-performance version like Ford does.
92ASC
Ford isn’t going to be making any sedans at all within the next two years
You just saved me a great deal of time waiting for Car and Driver to review this car
Toyota makes the best sounding v6 in the business. I have personal experience with this engine from driving my mom's 2016 Lexus ES. 0-60 is a bit delayed at a certain point but it just keeps pulling and pulling. You wouldn't think that a FWD car could do that. There is a bit of torque steer though. I wish Toyota would offer an AWD or RWD version of the ES to fix that problem when trying to put the power down. But overall it's an amazing engine.
I wish camry V6 would added supercharged & awd version. So it'd run the same like Dodge charger RT
Toyota needs to make there first 5 gears a closer ratio and then move the last 3 a bit taller for over drive gears.
If anyone was wondering the song name is คืนหลอน ซ่อนทาง
By zebraman555 and the cover says “Night Drive” with a Zebra
This thing don’t stop damn
These Camrys do the bogging around 2nd gear but you have to realize 33 mpg is great but 37 mpg is astounding for this size of engine when cruising on the highway. Not too many V6 engines can get nearly 40 MPG when cruising on the highway😎😎 except for the V6 Accord with VCM It shuts off 3 cylinders to sip fuel
It’s just the torque converter doing it’s thing. No bogging
I just raced one of these with my 15 Xse v6. It was close but ultimately the 7th gen is geared better 0-60 and the 8th gen struggled to close the early gap! Both are very cool and surprisingly fast cars. The 8th gen looks better though!
it's weird why it delayed so much at 30 mph shifting to 2nd gear.
Assen Spassov yeah the trans shifts way too slowly into second. I think it’s to save the trans when it under hard power but I wish it shifted faster
manphantom666 Yeah now there’s a recall so i have to take mine up to the dealership.
Gearing is terrible on this and my 18 2.5 le smh more agressive 1-5 gears atleast would have helped out so much.. this seems so slow compared to v6 accord or 10spd 2.0t ... dont get me wrong love my camry just wish they performed better... my 8spd only sometimes kicks down under wot... 200 hp was enough for alot of other cars to accelerate much better... shoot my 2015 sonata eco is better on gas and would mop the floor with camry 4cyl
1320vids i got the 2012 Camry Se 4 cyl , that shit goes , 6 speed auto , it’s peppy , gonna get throttle body spacer , already have drop in filter , and gonna install a performance mass air flow sensor .. should really improve performance
Assen Spassov it's very simple. There's too much wheel spin in first gear so it hits the red line and then shifts into second but at that speed it's already going too fast to shift back into first. Compare to the Sienna that I drive sometime with the 8-speed automatic big ears on here how much longer
Weird gearing from factory but okay.
The trd Camry's have much better gearing and can hit 60 in 5.6 sec
@@noahhedrick1156 the gearing is the exact same. They come with summer tires.
@@noahhedrick1156 same gearing and speed. Google it. This and the TRD are the same with the same motor and trans, TRD has better tires and other handling aspects but not much of a difference when it comes to a straight line
The gearing isn't weird, this is how NA engines should be tuned...
@@singular9 no, the car doesn’t have enough power to make use with its awful gearing. NA cars work better with small gears to keep them in the power band. Turbo cars with the broad torque curve can handle wide gearing better.
The problem with this car is long gears. Short gears will make this move a lot faster
They should tune it like they did the awd sienna.
@@occckid123 yes!!
The gears are perfectly tuned, the faster you go the shorter the gears get which is exactly what these n/a v6s need
Pulls nice over 60
Wtf? The 1 to 2 shift is such a huge ratio gap. Thought it skipped straight to 3rd at first.
This is a 2018 Camry, I want to say that Toyota had a software update for the 1-2 shift
Damn that 2nd gear ratio
it looked more like it shifted to 4th gear looking at how the rpm dropped to 3900~
Why are people complaining about the 1-2 shift? Isn’t it obvious that the wheels were spinning in 1st and then regained traction during the shift to 2nd?
Finn Mcmissile No, it didn’t skip any shifts. 1-2 happens at 33mph, 2-3 happens at 59. Ist gear is 5.25:1, 2nd gear is 3.03:1, do the math, set up a proportion and you see that it shifted in sequence. 33 * 5.25 / 3.03 = 59. So yes it definitely shifted sequentially without skipping. The math doesn’t lie.
My Chrysler 200 v6 keeps it in first.
It’s all about how you tune it. This car is shitty as hell
Toyota straight-up nerfed the Camry so it wouldn't shit on Lexus. Should be easily smoking the last gen's numbers, but here it is somehow the same speed if not slower despite having more power and more gears.
😍😍😍 wow it sounds like a 2JZ
Not even close
Julius SD IS300... Uh... yeahhh 🤦🏾♂️😒
Not really. V6's sound very different to Straight-6's. I get what you're trying to say though.
Naw
no, not even close to the GE either lolz
it would be faster if it didn't break loose all the time at launch. Anyways a very nice car and sounds great. I could argue it sounds better than the Honda accord V6.
The Ricer Mechanics it does🤣
It's FWD, not much you can do about that when you have a high powered engine there. The torque steer is ridiculous on these things.
Not bad for a run in 6F outdoor temps. Thanks for posting.
alexis700 ur an absolute knob the colder the air the better it’s denser, so this thing should be at max potential engine wise with such cold air, however the temperature could also be the reason the tires aren’t getting traction
went to 30 mph in like 1 second, insane
They geared it for fuel economy and it still manages to be decent.
2nd gear sounds so weird like it shift’s down to low
The tires lost grip and the car shifted early
It didn’t catch a grip until 2nd gear came along
That car has hella fucking top end
I believe the weird and ridiculously tall second gear is there to give the car a better fuel consumption/less pollution at 15-30 mph traffic. This speed (15-30 mph) makes up about 60% of the EPA cycle for city driving, so if a manufacturer wants to get the best possible EPA result for city driving they want to gear the car in such a way that the car can idle at the most efficient rpm at between 15 and 30 mph. Apparently Toyota decided the best way to do this was to make second gear super tall in relation to first. Not good for racing at the lights, but good for the EPA rating.
Second gear isn’t that tall, the final drive is what stretches the gears out
Please do an exhaust exterior sound video with fly-by’s and take offs etc. since you seem to be the only one on RUclips with an exhaust on the V6 and one of a handful to have a modified exhaust on any 2018 Camry in general.
SaN AnToNiO-Saints Fan I have the car at the STE Performance right now and they are developing a mid pipe so they can offer a full car back. I have a few videos of the car from the outside with just the muffler deletes but in the videos the exhaust is still quite enough that you can’t really tell there is anything done to it. I asked STE Performance to do a longer video of some in car and flybys once it’s finished since their video editing is way better then mine.
SaN AnToNiO-Saints Fan find me on Instagram and I message me, I can send you the couple of short videos I have of the exhaust from outside. @jharrington117
boosted117 I requested to follow you, my user name says tony tiger 27.

Did not expect the pickup to be that slow. 0-60 on this is what 7 sec if I counted correctly.
ruclips.net/video/s_srA3KzE8Y/видео.html
Needs a tune so it shifts faster in second so the wheels dont spin as much
A tune wouldn't fix this. This is intentional, first gear is so quick there is no time to lock up the torque converter, this is why the shift to second "seems" slow, but its not. Its an auto with a torque converter, the engine never stops sending power, so disregard the "needle" on the tac as its only an indicator, the shift itself rarely takes more than .1 seconds, if you had ears, you could hear the shift lol
This V6 should be able to do much more. The gen6 Camry V6 with a 6-speed auto can hit 145mph top speed.
Abel Diaz if it weren’t for the limiter it definitely would do a lot more. With the gearing it has and as hard as it was accelerating at 130+ I wouldn’t doubt this car would go 160 or more without a limiter.
@@boosted117 dunno bout 160 or more given a 370z is drag limited at 160mph. I wouldn't be too surprised if it did 150 though with a very long stretch of road.
You guys do know it has a limiter... all Camry's have been limited at 136
David Seitz well I've rented some corolla's and camry's and they have a limit of 115 in sport mode.
Ricer Garage every Camry I've owned was between 134-136 and I've owned a 1997, 2002, 2007, 2012 and a 2017
David Seitz u owned all v6?
@@whiteboysixty5 my 2000 v6 xle hit 140mph so i guess there was no limiter for that year
Hate to tell y’all but I hit 140 in my SE lmao that’s a damn lie if my 4 cylinder car out ran a XSE V6
3500 rpm at 133 miles per hour lol
ProVishGaming Looks like it still had one more gear to go
From the looks this engine can reach 150 mph easily
Dang I was hoping these would be quicker than my 2015 Accord V6. I was thinking of trading it in
Michael Atwood you should trade it in It was slow because of the wheel spin.
I still don’t understand why Toyota put 8 speed on this then spaced the ratios like a 4 speed. The older 6 speed auto in 2007 Camry V6 has WAY better gear spacing despite having 2 less gear ratios.
Nice! Can’t wait for the TRD option to come out so I can cop one!
Shunsui Kyoraku usless there no additional horsepower to it
2nd gear is ridiculously long. couldn't live with this configuration.
@Rod Redline My issue doesn't have to do with traction control (albeit maybe it made it worse, but is same with every car), it's the gearing. This is like a 1-2 shift from a 4 speed auto from the 80s. No amount of tuning will ever cure it either.
Okay everyone in here is acting stupid...
The very OBVIOUS reason as to why the 1st to 2nd gear change was crappy was because of wheel spin.
Automatic transmissions shift whenever they get to the redline
So if the wheels are spinning, the tranny will shift early which will result in a slower 0-60 time.
Camry need AWD and better gearing
And no wonder why the 2.0T Accords and VCT Altimas are quicker. Their long gearing kills a lot of their acceleration times.
This doesn't look any faster than the 2012 V6 SE we had.
He spun 1st and transmission kept the car in 2nd after take off. Hate when auto trans does that lol
Even with that. 60 and up also look the same. I even timed it with my old video.
It’s 6 degrees F and still isn’t impressive.
CP100 It really isnt you're totally right.. my friend was bragging saying he beat the new 2018 camry v6 and wanted to race me now, but i own the 07 camry v6 and im like dude you dont understand there is a huge difference in power between the cars. You could almost compare the v6 to the 4 cylinder it has when ti comes to 0- 60.
TooHighhUup you would spank him
An I4 Camry can kill ANY other stock 4cyld right now! I work with several dealerships to sale different cars and tested out the LE (4cyl) and XSE (V6). This is no longer an old lady car this is a gearhead car! It's a sleeper! The four-banger paired with that 8 speed (You never really reach 8th gear) is the best match ever. . As soon as you push it it really feels like its ready to race anything. Its light as Fuk around corners and reactive. The V6 is a beast! Again if you ever reach 8th gear you're doing about 100 mph at 2500 RPM. Seriously, your flying and saving gas at the same Dmn time. Don't knock the new gen Camry if you dont OWN one. They are low key sleepers.
It can't. The 2019 Nissan Altima 2.5 is faster.
ruclips.net/video/s_srA3KzE8Y/видео.html
You're talking as if a camry is the end all sports sedan when it's not even close. Sure the new one handles better than the previous gens but it's not sports sedan level. The old gen v6 camry has nearly identical acceleration. Honestly that was more of a sleeper than today's sharper looking camry.
my beater 2000 camry with a 2.2 liter 5sfe hit 115 😂. If fuel cut/governor was removed it would have 120/125 in it
I had a 94 Celica with that engine 😃 yup it topped out at like 120 ish.
Play at 2x
Is this much faster than a 2018 Camry le?
is it possible to take the dash of this car and put it in the 2015 camry?
the only difference with the V6 is that the initial start is faster compared to other trims, that’s about it. SE trim will do just fine 👌🏾
Yeah until your on a hilly road. Lol
@SUPER SAIYAN. LOL Sounds like a comment from a donut head with a thin wallet. 3.5 V6 300 hp vs 206 hp for 4 cylinder. V6 Torque and hp is ~ 47% greater throughout rev range. Car with V6 and driver is only 8% heavier. V6 is smoother and quieter and at normal cruising or normal acceleration is barely working. It would outlast any 4 cylinder. Only downside to V6 is you go through more tires and fuel.
Jesus christ that 2nd gear drops to below 4k thats ridiculous
The gearing made the 2nd shift sound better
So many folks complaining about the 5.8ish 0-60 time… How fast does it need to accelerate from a dead stop? Never mind that a 0-60 sprint is arbitrary as hell and very bad on your vehicle. Never mind that you should never be in a situation in which you need to sprint to 60mph as fast a possible. Never mind that it’s 0-70 is faster than a vehicle who can sprint to 60mph slightly faster. Never mind that it’s exclusively a FWD configuration and weighs almost 2 tons with a driver sitting in it. Never mind that FWD cars are going to be this limited anyway (especially this heavy) without putting non-daily-able ultra wide grippy wheels/tires that completely sacrifice maneuverability, steering, and look ugly as hell.
Jeebus Chrism…
8 speed and such wide gearing?
@@charlesjackson1700 nah, bmw 8 speed autos have much shorter 1-4 gear ratios and still sit at 2k rpm at 80 mph, perfect for fuel economy. this is just poor design.
I think Toyota need to put the 6 speed again 😅😅, the old Camry 2008 I think hits 0-60 faster but I don’t know after that, even the 2016-2017 models with the 6 speed auto I think is faster 0-60 😅😅😅, the problem is the 8 speed
What do you think would be the top speed without the limiter?
9914life not sure but I will find out once I can figure out how to remove the speed limiter. Considering how hard it was pulling at 130 and the fact that it was only in 5 gear my guess is definitely north of 150 maybe even north of 160.
@@boosted117 definitely above 160
can’t wait to buy one depreciated at rock bottom in 3-5 years
lmao it has longer gears than a V10 S8. Why would you make second gear so long? Especially since this is kind of a sporty version of the car, giving it ridiculously long gears wont make it very sporty if the engine gets out of optimal rev at shifts. But other than that Im digging this camry.
Hey man you from Lancaster County? I've seen a camery like yours around denver and berks area.
Ab Yang I’m about an hour from there just outside of Allentown.
Can you pls make a video how to do a lunch control in this car?
I've done it in a TRD but I don't exactly know how to get a launch control in a XSE
can you do a 0-80 with traction and stability control off and in manual mode and sport mode
have you found a tuner/piggyback to disable governor? if so, which?
Jeff Hazar not as of yet I have not. OrangeVirus Tuning offers software to tuning these cars but I haven’t found out yet what all can actually be modified with it.
Ha top speed hasn't really changed. I had a 98 camry top out at 130mph. New ones sure look like they could go much faster
They can, it is limited only
Oh yes they can easily do 160
hm idk why it seems the gears are longer on this one but when i was on mpgomatic’s channel his 0-60 the gears were pretty fast.
The Saurus yeah I’m not really sure either. While the car runs good up to 60 it could be a little faster. The gearing is really killing its 0-60. I posted this video of it up to the limiter since no one else has because this car really shines at higher speeds. It’s crazy the stuff this car hangs on highway rolls.

It can hit 160 without the limiter!!
The tires seem to lose traction at 34 mph
Lorraine Smutzler it breaks traction way too easy at low speed. It was pretty cold which didn’t help though
Toyota has always shipped their vehicles with some of the most mediocre tires out there.
its limited to preserve the engine. if there was no limiter you would have alot of reliability complaints of engine failure from people going above 136 mph.
Where do you get that nonsense? It is about liability and safety. They cannot allow the max. speed to exceed the rating of the tires installed when it leaves the factory.
@@kannermw your mom
Sounds really good but man that gearing is really weighing down the V6. Pretty sure my Accord is faster because of that alone.
The new Accord 10 speed beats the Camry 0-60 because of its very smart gearing.
The Camry does pull away from the Accord on its upper RPM’s, but it quits pulling after every shift.
So really, it’s going to come down to whoever gets the jump and best traction.
Both cars are beasts, just simply in different ways
@@Michael-hz2pl I have a V6 Accord not the new one lol
they clock this one at 5.5-5.8 seconds for 0-60. may look slower but it isn’t. there was wheel spin through first gear.

That second gear.... yikes.
The Camry has non turbo V6 and V4 engine options.. While the Accord offers two small turbo V4 options. The Camry engines will outlast the turbo engines. Turbo engines require Premium fuel, prone to problems and more oil change intervals.
ELPJM09 what the hell is a V4?
I wonder what would that look like on a car
Dion Adesh Juco lmao😂😂
wrong, turbo engines have ECUs designed to pull back on timing to reduce knock, and if equipped with octane sensors, they won't have knock issues in the first place. only problem is you lose power and efficiency. They're not prone to more problems other than replacing the turbo every 100k-200k miles, and they have the same or longer oil change intervals due to recent breakthroughs in oil engineering.
um that’s some bad shifting
Yo no cap my 99 v6 could probably give this thing a run for its money
2.0 turbo 235hp 350nm
why is the top speed only 136 but it says 160 on the speedometer.
Some cars either won't bottom out the speedometer because A: it's electronically limited from doing so, or B: it simply doesn't have enough power.
Take my 3rd gen camry with the 2.2 for example. Stock AF it pulls decently under 70-80mph, but even though the speedometer goes to 140mph, you'll have a hard time pushing it faster than 110, 111, 112 on flat ground.
Another fun fact: the 2004 generation Volvo XC70 has the power, the gearing, and the aerodynamics to reach the 160mph top speed on the gauge cluster, but it's electronically limited to 119mph. Ask me how I know lol
After reaching 34 mph it goes back 29 mph?

I think my 2017 V6 is faster, it has a 6-speed transmission.
juan vidal
In perfect traction scenarios, it has the same 0-60 time as the 2007-2017 V6 models

I feel like the Sienna shifts faster...
the shifts are fast, go by ear not by needle on the tac. The needle doesn't move all that fast.
Geared way to tall
lol from 6500 rpms in 1st to 3800 in 2nd gear? that is a 8 speed acting like a 4 speed
RUclips Paul I know😩. I still for the life of me can’t figure out why they geared it like that. Don’t get me wrong it awesome for cruising at higher speeds, it only turns 2k rpm while cruising at 100mph. But why they geared it to the moon is beyond me, it’s as if it has four regular gears and four overdrives.
There are many cars that are faster 0-60 than this Camry, but slower 60-100+
I'd gladly put my 2017 Ford Fusion Sport against this in any type of drag race or pull. I really thought the Camry would be quicker than this.
Celeb Stats AWD and twin turbo V6 should rape this from a dig. But start timing your 80mph+ stuff and the Camry closes the gap. This is actually quicker 80-100 then the considerably more powerful fusion sport. No matters though, my Hellcat from my other dyno video will destroy them both.
You can't cherry pick small intervals. The Fusion sport shifts into 4th at around 80-82 MPH whereas you are in the meat of your powerband. Run them from 60 to 110 and I bet on my Fusion though I admit it would be closer than from a dig where you would get killed. More to the point if I were to cherry pick an interval I would pick 30- to 60 where your car looks like it is stuck in the mud. Which btw is super disappointing because that is an interval you don't want to suck in day to day driving. But hey, no car is perfect. In the Fusion Sport if I start a pull at 40mph, I can only catch 3rd gear even in sport mode, and second gear would run to nearly 50 if I could catch it. It makes a big difference.
As for the Hellcat comment, who cares?! I was comparing two cars that compete directly with each other with similar MSRPs , though the Fusion is discounted much more heavily and is therefore much more affordable.
Though I do gladly concede the point that the Fusion Sport should be faster than it is with a twin turbo v6 and all wheel drive, but the transmission is really second rate.
Lastly, I stand by my original comment, I truly thought the Camry would be quicker than this. I thought it would be sub 14 second car. I like the Camry, I wanted the Camry to be awesome, but I bought the Ford because the Camry looks more like a paper tiger than it should be and it costs a lot more.
Celeb Stats Plus with a simple tune the Ford Fusion Sport can go to 60 in around 3.5s.
Did you do this in ECO mode or SPORT mode?
