A little insight, Japanese manufacturers, North America studios included, purposely copy design features to ensure Japanese styling remains familiar and to their home country. Ford and Chevy would be made fun of for doing the same 😂
Only thing I don't like is the pricing. A fully loaded XSE AWD is over $40k. I get all cars are getting more expensive, but to me $40k is a little steep

Yeah I think this does a bad job of following the Prius. But Honda also bungled the new Accord by making it look like a 2015 VW. But both sell on their efficiency and reliability over looks. Sports sedan fans can get the Civic, Integra, and Corolla.
You also need to know how to drive a hybrid for best fuel economy. For example once you get up to speed, let off the throttle, and then ease back on and it’ll try to use the electric motor instead of holding the engine on. There’s a bunch of ways to get super close if not exceed mpg estimates
@@JackyLi that’s a big one, it’ll save a lot. If it’s a traditional hybrid, only use regenerative braking when going down a hill, since most systems are just engine braking, you’ll just keep your revs too high to engage strictly electric power. Obviously climate controls play a big part too. I’ve got a 2016 Prius as a daily and I routinely get around 56 mpg by normal driving, unless there’s some twisty’s, because the Prius is vastly underpowerded but damn it kinda handles like a champ
Im not that impressed with the new carmy. Doesnt seem like they changed exteriro wise. Plus everything looks cheap and sounds cheap. 50mpg is really impressive, but this car does not really have anything else going for it.
I think the most important thing is that Toyota patched up their previous mistakes. The gauge cluster is clear and easy to use, as is the larger infotainment screen. The hybrid engine sounds less raspy and there's additional sound insulation. They just patched up the car so it can keep selling for another generation.
The last generation Camry felt very cheap inside, and the non hybrid 2.5L and 8 speed automatic was not a good powertrain. This 2025 seems like a nice upgrade.
2:34 What in the world made that guy in truck wait for a whole minute at a dead end for you to leave 😂 Ahh, I see. It was another reviewer. Really just thought the dude was extremely numb skulled.
Honda's hybrid setup is supposed to be sporty and fun, and since it only uses the engine as a generator it might feel more torquey. Interesting that Honda took out adaptive dampers right as Toyota adds them to the top trim.
It's kind of nice to see a good new interior with easy access to drive modes, brake hold button, infotainment built into dash like the good old days, physical buttons for climate, and paddle shifters on a nice chunky steering wheel. I like it!!

@@bashirdahir88 keep on believing that, fanboy. I hope you do exactly what i did and waste 45k on junk and then experience to full dosage of a toyota dealerships crappy warranty service.
I'm a 2012 Lexus CT200H owner and am Getting 38 mpg on average. crazy to see how far Toyota has come in their hybrid advances. this Camry looks really neat and seems like a blast to drive.
They should also put it in the outback and legacy it would sell....and I think legacy gets a new update in 2026 so they could possibly add the hybrid then.....and maybe add some Toyota design language into it as well.... they're partners now so It would make sense if they shared chassis as well..
They really did a great job with the interior, but that's really it. The exterior isn't bad by any means, but I prefer the 8th gen. In regards to the powertrain, they turned it back into a boring appliance and it's really sad to see. A slow NA 4 cyl hybrid with a CVT. Can't get anymore boring than that. Just thankful I finally found a 2024 XSE V6 before it was too late. Looks like I'll be driving this one until I either die or the wheels fall off with the way the industry is going. About the only hope I have is they bring back the TRD or just make a GR version that is truly special like they just did with the Corolla. AWD Twin Turbo V6 Camry GR? 🤔
Giant front grill is ugly as hell.. beside toyota dealers want so much markup on their cars. It's just ridiculous in Southern California what the expect you to pay over MSRP... People should refuse to buy cars with markup. There are plenty of other good options.
Not much other good options in this segment. Accord is nice but has some missing features, and the Sonata and K5 has Hyundais unreliability issues. Altima is good for a cheap option but it is sluggish. Malibu is very outdated and ranks low in crash safety tests. As for the Legacy, no one buys them lol.
@@filetofish7688I bought a 24 legacy and it's great AWD standard without a complicated hybrid system....just a simple Boxer 4 and it's nice to drive.....
Pressed? I’m simply addressing one of the points he made in his video. I drove every variant of Camry, all trims, gas and hybrid, and it was obvious as to which model offered the quietest, plushest ride. The fact that that model was also the most affordable trim, with the best fuel mileage by far, was icing on the cake.
It's nice that Toyota is focusing more on driving enjoyment, but a little disappointing they are cutting back on noise insulation...the quiet ride has always been one of the nicest things about Toyota's.
I think it depends on where you drive. Hybrids don't have an advantage when doing highway commutes, and if you live somewhere with cheap electricity, EVs could net you savings. Especially with the low prices of used Model 3s.
The new Corolla has loud tires too...I found out when I replaced them with some no names from discount and the car was noticably quieter. Factory tires are for mpg I guess...
I'm a Camry guy for life. They are simple, easy to drive, look great and live forever.
Are you a fan of all the tech they now have? I know a lot of Toyota fans liked the simplicity of them.
It's just a name. They can slap the name on anything.

It is personal preference , i think the new accord's interior look horrendous compared to the new carmy.
Had a horrible experience with my 2018 tacoma. I no longer trust toyota.
Toyota is always nummer one lasts forever
@@bashirdahir88 keep on believing that, fanboy. I hope you do exactly what i did and waste 45k on junk and then experience to full dosage of a toyota dealerships crappy warranty service.
Can you share your experience with me? What happened to your tacoma
Tremendous video as always. But I will say $35,000 for this is borderline lunacy. Car prices in general are crazy now
Shiny black plastic on passenger side dash reflects too much light.
They lost the fake vents in back! 🎉🎉🎉
I was surprised with interior/exterior design, really didn't like it. Then I learned it was designed by American team, and now I know why it's so ugly
Honda has some catch up to do especially on infotainment and some minor interior quality items
I'm a 2012 Lexus CT200H owner and am Getting 38 mpg on average. crazy to see how far Toyota has come in their hybrid advances. this Camry looks really neat and seems like a blast to drive.
Subaru should put this hybrid in the new 2025 Forester. I'll then upgrade my 2018 XT Touring for it.
They should also put it in the outback and legacy it would sell....and I think legacy gets a new update in 2026 so they could possibly add the hybrid then.....and maybe add some Toyota design language into it as well.... they're partners now so It would make sense if they shared chassis as well..
The seiko is very Toyota
No more v6, huge L
There are no V6 midsize cars at all now.... unless you wanna go luxury but that's gonna cost twice the price of a Camry or Accord....
how can you trust this guy's reviews? we all know auto-makers pay RUclips channels to review cars, and this guy advertises $1500 Seiko watches 🤡
Trunk button is on the far right side of the lid.
They really did a great job with the interior, but that's really it. The exterior isn't bad by any means, but I prefer the 8th gen. In regards to the powertrain, they turned it back into a boring appliance and it's really sad to see. A slow NA 4 cyl hybrid with a CVT. Can't get anymore boring than that. Just thankful I finally found a 2024 XSE V6 before it was too late. Looks like I'll be driving this one until I either die or the wheels fall off with the way the industry is going. About the only hope I have is they bring back the TRD or just make a GR version that is truly special like they just did with the Corolla. AWD Twin Turbo V6 Camry GR? 🤔
Finally, the video I've been waiting for!
Giant front grill is ugly as hell.. beside toyota dealers want so much markup on their cars. It's just ridiculous in Southern California what the expect you to pay over MSRP... People should refuse to buy cars with markup. There are plenty of other good options.
Not much other good options in this segment. Accord is nice but has some missing features, and the Sonata and K5 has Hyundais unreliability issues. Altima is good for a cheap option but it is sluggish. Malibu is very outdated and ranks low in crash safety tests. As for the Legacy, no one buys them lol.
@@filetofish7688I bought a 24 legacy and it's great AWD standard without a complicated hybrid system....just a simple Boxer 4 and it's nice to drive.....
@@truckercowboyed2638 More power to you. I live in Florida so AWD isn’t necessary for me at all but might be where you live.
I need one they look 🔥
Pressed? I’m simply addressing one of the points he made in his video. I drove every variant of Camry, all trims, gas and hybrid, and it was obvious as to which model offered the quietest, plushest ride. The fact that that model was also the most affordable trim, with the best fuel mileage by far, was icing on the cake.
Isolation is too bad
The trunk release is near the "Y" of the camery badge on the trunk.
Can't wait to see what Lexus brings with the new ES
I always loved the Toyota Cam-ray.
Seriously, who the heck drives on those windy roads over 50 MPH?!
It's nice that Toyota is focusing more on driving enjoyment, but a little disappointing they are cutting back on noise insulation...the quiet ride has always been one of the nicest things about Toyota's.
Toyota is never quiet 😂. Mazda is more quiet tho.
@@tonyleung2442 They certainly used to be quiet, but I haven't bought one or even been in one for a while.
More likely to do with no sidewall on the tires than lack of insulation.
@@EssenceofPureFlavor The same complaint was brought up on the LE with 16" rims.
Closing the doors and especially the hood sound horrible!
I like how you chose the SE version out of all the other trims. It's probably going to be the best seller and best value. Most likely my new car!
use headphones, the road noise/ tire noise is actually pretty loud!
wow, im really excited to watch this video. I love Toyota
Wow, the road noise seems awful
Thank you for driving the model I'm most interested in as a fellow Michigander.
2:33 the hood shut sounds like a gong though.
Will you open it 5x a day that nice "hood shut sound" is necessary?
expensive
$32k is expensive?
@@jml9550 Yes!
@@supremeetnel7707 wow. $32k really?
@@jml9550 Can you buy a car for 32k cash right now? no finance. 32k in hand?
@@jml9550 can you buy a 32k car cash right now
People really hate that they like a Toyota better than their car
honda better
Another reviewer released the trunk from under the R and Y. It would be weird if this trim doesnt have that.
Nice seiko. Strong recommend to buy seiko watches. Reliable as toyota:)
I love the Toyota Camry 2020 ❤but can’t afford and it’s an 2023 😮😢
Same car with new interior, lights and bumper.
Dang, if I didn't already have my Tesla Model Y, I would have easily been captivated by this Toyota Camry. 50MPG is pretty damn good.
Love that seiko!!!
Are you able to turn that chime down or off? holy god
I don't know if i want this or the 24 Hyundai Sonata Limited Hybrid. Can u make a review on that sometime?
Why would anyone buy an EV when a Camry gets up to 50MPGs these days?
I think it depends on where you drive. Hybrids don't have an advantage when doing highway commutes, and if you live somewhere with cheap electricity, EVs could net you savings. Especially with the low prices of used Model 3s.
I was Toyota for life until they went exclusively Hybrid.
there's still other models without the hybrids?
I hate this new door chime. They first put it in the 2023 Toyota Corolla. It sounds horrible.
That road noise. Gotta replace those tires before the delivery. Lol
The new Corolla has loud tires too...I found out when I replaced them with some no names from discount and the car was noticably quieter. Factory tires are for mpg I guess...
It’s over for us V6ers. RIP Accord and Camry.
Get a proper sports car then
The road noise is not the tire issue but lacking nois insulation.
Interior still outdated compared to Buick Cadillac BMW. Toyota do better.
I’m glad I bought a new ‘24 with the 6 cylinder engine and a real 8 speed transmission before they were all gone.
This or Accord?
