As someone who officially owns a 2021 Camry XSE, it's a great car. Especially if you can get the XSE V6 version because the performance makes this car so fun to drive. I recently added a Borla S-Type cat-back exhaust system and OMG, it really brings out the V6 sportiness of this car. Oh and by the way, the quad tip should be single tip because the outer tip on both sides of the exhaust system is fake. Go up to next time in person and look at the outer tips. They are literally welded on to the other tip with no openings. It's purely non functional and for looks only. I was quite disappointed when I found out which led me to the entire exhaust change out. And for the better because I'm getting a lot of compliments saying my cars sounds like a Lotus, or a GT-R even. Not bad right? But anyways...... Honda Accords are excellent cars too but they took a different approach. They did away with their V6 option and opted for a turbo charged inline 4cy motor. Very responsive by the way, but I chose the Camry for its legendary reputation status. I mean, Camry holds the record for best selling mid size sedan for a reason right? Plus, the Camry looks so damn aggressive and sexy!!! I like the rework and the mild alteration for the 2021 version. The Accord has a classic and conservative type look to them. Mercedes like, but that's not me. Again, it comes down to personal preference as far as looks goes. I mainly got it because it was affordable for the performance you're getting. I mean 301 HP and 267 ft-lb of torque??? What moderately priced car today even has that!?!?
When I was car shopping I had the accord touring 2.0 on the list. But the 3.5L v6 in the Camry was just that amazing and so smooth. Oh and the Camry looks great especially in silver black roof w red interior. I own the 2020 version which I’m glad I do. I feel the 2021 Camry they ruined it. They smoked parts of the taillights for 2021 and changed the rims
I almost got an XSE--but instead got a Mazda CX-30 premium Plus turbo.I like having AWD and sitting up high.I have a camry as a rental right now and it is actually a great car--but I got a better deal on the MAzda and the sound system and interior in the mazda is better and the Turbo 4 is running the same times as a TRD.I also plan on getting an exhaust.I sold a KIA stinger AWD and made almost 9k over what I paid.The camry and Mazda came out on top for my 35k limit.Also the mazda dealer was also a Hyundai dealer and they gave me the 10 year 100k warranty on the CX-30 which i could not believe so it was a no brainer after that.

If you drive an accord hybrid, you’re still driving Toyota’s hybrid battery because they are the first to mass produce the hybrid battery and share it with other manufacturers.
The Camry is the best mid sized sedan to get right now and the lineups for the 2021 models do not disappoint since Toyota offers so many different configurations to choose from. From 4cyl to 6cyl to AWD to TRD to Hybrid to luxury to etc and etc and etc, it’s tough to make a decision. I personally don’t like 4cyl cars but if you must get one, get the AWD or the hybrid version. Otherwise, go V6 all the way which is what I eventually did. Car enthusiast will most likely go for the TRD version if available. They’re limited and hard to come by so most opt for the XSE V6 model. The TRD version doesn’t have all the luxury features but has a beefed up suspension and exhaust. THAT IS IT. But for $32k, it’s worth it to some people. XSE models comes with sport tuned suspension regardless of engine size but their suspension don’t match the TRD’s upgraded suspension. They’re different and much better. Overall driving impression is pretty much spot in the video review. The car plants firmly, smooth steering, very smooth steering, and responsive. I have the XSE V6 version and it’s firm with reduced lean at higher speeds. If you don’t think about it, you’d swear you’re in a smaller compact car like a Civic or Corolla because it handles so well. To make it easier on which car to buy, it comes down to two things: gas saving and performance. Either you’re going to opt for the hybrid XSE 4cyl or the XSE V6 model. Everything in between you can live without. That’s basically it. Then it’s what you can afford lol.

Again, Kelly Blue Book left out the Nissans (Altima/Maxima) from Camry's set of competitors. I wonder if KBB intentionally ignores Nissan products; if yes, why?!
Nissans don't really stand up to the competition, for a while now. The company is trying to change that, but having a bad CVT transmission doesn't help which ruins the whole driving experience. Toyota already feels outdated, and Nissan even more so.
@@ShafinRehman Exactly. Kia/Hyundai Optima/K5 and Sonata rightful belongs in the top 5-6 among the best Midsize sedans on the planet instead of Nissan.
It is 2023 and I wrecked my 2006 Camry on Christmas Eve in the afternoon. It had 191,700 miles on it and was still going strong. I had to replace my 2006 so I shopped around and found a 2021 with 49,400 miles on it. I cut a deal and am now driving it and getting ready to go over to my local mechanic who will give it a through inspection of tires, brakes, mechanical and related safety features. I am a hard negotiator but I cut a great deal on this beauty. It is black, in like new condition and drives very well.
Love the Camry, just bought a silver XSE and its fireeeee. One complaint, I wish Toyota would offer the premium audio standard on the XSE instead of an option bc the base system is kinda trash for a $33K car...
Sooo I can kind of explain why it only drifts between the lines. LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) only works when your DRCC (Dynamic Radar Cruise Control) is on AND active. Any other time, it just defaults to standard old lane-departure warning with steering assist. I use LTA and DRCC as much as possible in my 2021 Camry Hybrid. It works amazing! Follows lane lines very well. I've only had it get confused once on the highway, and was able to correct it almost instantly. Just light pressure on the steering wheel is enough for the car to almost drive itself!
It used to be mid-size, then every generation it grows bigger (along with the entire segment). Not just that, the compact segment is also growing bigger, so they have to introduce a new sub-compact segment to fill the gap. (Just like the sub-compact SUV nad sub-compact trucks). It's always easier to get people to buy the slightly bigger, slightly more expensive redesigns than to convince them to commit to the "next step up". But after a few generations you have this.
SE models have stiffer suspension and cost more. My choice for buying a Camry is comfort , drivability, Quality. 2018 LE was my choice. 203 Hp 8 speed shiftable . Three years later, I still enjoy driving my car. Negative comment,in the LE the front turn signals are to far in the center .
I love my 2020 Camry XSE v6, but your comment🤣🤦♂️ The Camry is the best in class. Said no one ever The Camry is mediocre and uncompetitive said every automotive journalist
@@naveenthemachine well，99.9% comsumers just need the reliable car that can take them to the destnation，they don’t need superior handling. People who complain that Camry is mediocre are the 0.1%anyways
Sadly, AWD isn't available on V6 models. It's the same pattern with Nissan and KIA maintain in their "performance" versions of the Altima and the K5. The reason? It's simple, the "take rate" for mainstream midsize versions of "performance" sedans is simply too low to make it worthwhile to offer it. Only about 5% of all Camrys sold in the US come with the V6 engine. The same pattern holds for other brands and since neither the Altima nor the K5 approach the total sales volume of the Camry offering AWD in the "high" performance models makes even less sense. I've not seriously considered a Camry despite the fact that the current generation introduced in 2018 is a significant improvement over prior generations in terms of handling. However when I recently had a vehicle in for service I rented a hybrid Camry for a day and was impressed. Smooth, relatively peppy, and very comfortable. I can understand why non-enthusiasts would find it a fine daily driver.
Also why enthusiasts look at the Camry as if it’s so bad it should be disregarded as the Japanese Malibu and it should eventually be wiped off the earth since it’s uncompetitive
Only misstep is that cheap filler plastic piece they put where the center air vents used to be. Could have used that opportunity to lower the dash a bit. But ig that would be too expensive...
I drove an SE version. My expectations were high considering all the gushing that many always give this car. I was thoroughly disappointed and wondered why everyone is always falling over themselves praising this car. I was very disappointed. It was loud inside, closing the doors sounded like I was slamming a tin can shut. The handling was a bit clumsy. The 4 cyl motor felt rougher than others I ha driven. The dashboard / infotainment was dated. Overall it felt unrefined. There are so many other good options out there. They must sell a lot of these based on perception only and without exploring all the other solid alternatives available today. Don't get hung up on the Toyota name and test drive something else before settling.
@@ThatCarGuy2 I have actually driven two of them. I drove a brand new LE version on a test drive. The SE was a rental. I found the same characteristics in both. Maybe you're one of those people that I was referring to.
I have 2018 (the same generation ) and I would disagree with the back seat space. for a Camry I think it's kinda small, with the way that I am sitting, a little layed back, my knees are digging into the seat when in the back, and I'm 5'-11". My buddy has camry as well and they kinda struggle with 2 child seats.
I like Toyota’s interface too with the large split screen for the Home Screen but I think just about everyone else on here will laugh so hard at you for that comment.
@@sammyjammy6647 Not sure what you're asking ? However I will answer it with this. I bought new Hondas for 15 years.. I had a 2019 EXL 2.0 that I sold last year and got a Camry. I had trouble with the turbo on my car leaking intermediately. Also some glitches with the infotainment center.. I sold it and bought a new Camry 2020. Previously I had never had any issues with my Hondas.. I always liked Honda and Toyota. Since I started having issues with the Honda so I went to Toyota.. It has been great and I have had it for a year and 2 months now. Turbo engines are not as reliable as naturally aspired engines.. I never keep a card much past 60k.. if I have trouble with a car starting around 3 or 4K I get annoyed like I did when I used to buy GM cars and got rid of them... I still like Honda's however their reliability has slipped from previous years.
As a former Camry Owner, its is no longer in the affordable price category. I consider it now a lower end 'luxury' car." Still this '21 Camry looks great. Just be nice if it was a little more cheaper. I got the 18 Kia Optima/K5 almost 2 years and it almost as good as the Camry. Thanks to Lyn and Guest Co-Host Mike for this good review. Since My Brother in Law's 2003 Avalon might soon need to be retired hitting 250,000 miles, I give him this video clip for him to check out as he loves Toyotas.
@@DoctorSkillz At the expense of driving a fairly soulless appliance. At least this generation doesn't look as dumpy and unattractive as they have in the past, but I still never understood people who lease or buy brand new Camry's because they're "reliable", unless they intend to keep it for 10+ years for that reliability advantage to come into play, which many people don't.
@@Stressless2023 People are holding onto their cars longer and longer, we'll beyond the common warranty period. Moreover, time is money. Have you had to take your car in for service? I can guarantee the entire experience is needlessly time consuming.
@@DoctorSkillz I definitely agree that plenty of people buy their vehicles new and keep them well beyond the warranty period (I've owned my 2006 Acura TL for 13 years, bought it 2 years old certified used, still love it even after 1 transmission rebuild and some glitchy interior electronics)... But I also know that many consumers lease, and many more also don't keep their vehicle for 10+ years, and that in my opinion voids the main perceived benefit of buying a new Camry. I'm aware that plenty of consumers may enjoy the Camry for their own specific reasons, but I also see alot of consumers who buy them new solely based on a perceived reliability advantage, and I find it strange to buy an appliance-like Camry brand new with no intention of keeping it until that perceived reliability advantage can prove itself.
On the XSE it’s optional If you get the gasoline models, the 4 cylinder XSE and xle are available with a pano roof. But it’s standard if you upgrade to the XSE v6 or xle v6
Cheap? If you want cheap, the Ford Explorer would love to meet you I personally think this looks fine. Kind of reminds me of the Avalon which isn’t a bad thing

I would buy the Accord over the Camray (John Davis from Motor Weeks pronunciation) all day long. I’ll wait for the next gen Accord.
the accord is extremely nice. The only thing stopping people from buying it is the exterior, but it can grow on you
I drove an SE version. My expectations were high considering all the gushing that many always give this car. I was thoroughly disappointed and wondered why everyone is always falling over themselves praising this car. I was very disappointed.
It was loud inside, closing the doors sounded like I was slamming a tin can shut. The handling was a bit clumsy. The 4 cyl motor felt rougher than others I ha driven. The dashboard / infotainment was dated. Overall it felt unrefined. There are so many other good options out there. They must sell a lot of these based on perception only and without exploring all the other solid alternatives available today. Don't get hung up on the Toyota name and test drive something else before settling.
Waaàah,,😭😭😭
The truth is basically the opposite of everything/most of what you just said. You must've accidentally turned on Opposite Mode.
@@ThatCarGuy2 I have actually driven two of them. I drove a brand new LE version on a test drive. The SE was a rental. I found the same characteristics in both. Maybe you're one of those people that I was referring to.
I have a Camry SE and it drives great.
@@ThatCarGuy2 There is definitely better out there but if YOU are satisfied that is all that matters.
I have 2018 (the same generation ) and I would disagree with the back seat space. for a Camry I think it's kinda small, with the way that I am sitting, a little layed back, my knees are digging into the seat when in the back, and I'm 5'-11". My buddy has camry as well and they kinda struggle with 2 child seats.
Shoulda got the Avalon if you needed that much room or an suv. Who has kids and then decides on a sedan for the family. I wouldn’t
Very accurate review
Loved the review, 2021 Sierra would be cool
Updated design
Keep it up
So they didn't mention it's in the segment with the Nissan Altima ?? Oh okay !!
TRD does give more in terms of esthetics and HP, but I would still pick an Accord over this one
Toyota has the best infotainment system in my opinion
I like Toyota’s interface too with the large split screen for the Home Screen
but I think just about everyone else on here will laugh so hard at you for that comment.
@@naveenthemachine idk why 😂 some luxury brands infotainment system is stuck in the early 2000s
@@zhanazhana1001 like who?
@@naveenthemachine Acura for sure, Audi, bmw, jag. It just feels like they splurge on everything else and the tech is okay.
@@zhanazhana1001 I’ve heard bmw I drive is really good
Acura has that touchpad. And Jaguar / Land Rover yeah I Agree
I would take a Camry for not offering a CVT in any trims.
Except the hybrid though
No CVT's is the best thing about Camry.
Rumor has it the Camry is going to get the coupe like treatment next gen ... just like the accord
I hope not that's why I switched to Camry...and the turbo engines .
No CVT and AWD?
Yes!
I only go with the v6 😎
Agreed
"That pesky Honda Accord" 😇
@@naveenthemachine what’s your deal with Toyota, why do you hate Toyota so much?
@@naveenthemachine just asking
I have had Honda Accords for 15 years and have just switched to Camry.. They are still good however second place.. they have fallen in reliability..
@@charlesjackson1700 who’s fallen in reliability?
@@sammyjammy6647 Not sure what you're asking ? However I will answer it with this. I bought new Hondas for 15 years.. I had a 2019 EXL 2.0 that I sold last year and got a Camry. I had trouble with the turbo on my car leaking intermediately. Also some glitches with the infotainment center.. I sold it and bought a new Camry 2020.
Previously I had never had any issues with my Hondas.. I always liked Honda and Toyota. Since I started having issues with the Honda so I went to Toyota.. It has been great and I have had it for a year and 2 months now. Turbo engines are not as reliable as naturally aspired engines.. I never keep a card much past 60k.. if I have trouble with a car starting around 3 or 4K I get annoyed like I did when I used to buy GM cars and got rid of them... I still like Honda's however their reliability has slipped from previous years.
Did Mpg #s include hybrid? Hmmm.
As a former Camry Owner, its is no longer in the affordable price category. I consider it now a lower end 'luxury' car."
Still this '21 Camry looks great. Just be nice if it was a little more cheaper. I got the 18 Kia Optima/K5 almost 2 years and it almost as good as the Camry. Thanks to Lyn and Guest Co-Host Mike for this good review. Since My Brother in Law's 2003 Avalon might soon need to be retired hitting 250,000 miles, I give him this video clip for him to check out as he loves Toyotas.
23's are EXPEN$$$$IVE

I tuned in to see if it hauls a$$ on the highway.
Hell no. In California, you talking about $4000-6000 over that price !
They need more lights in the front
Great video guys I love the way you in corporate a tall gentleman such as myself lol 😆......I am 6'6"
Plenty room for a guy like you!
Wish i would have waited for the xse hybrid
But I love my se hybrid
Also you get use to the brakes quickly
No sunroof?????? Whaaaa
She's really good 😄
Mr. Danger should do a car review!!!!
Aw! You really think so?!
@@yesmikedanger yeah
@@TheNyamu2012 …well looks like I have some work to do.
I wanted an all wheels drive one 👍
Of the 4 competitor's shown, I think the Kia K5 (exterior) looks the best.
Yeah the Kia will look great in the junkyard once the warranty is up too
@@gmfitzg You mean when they join the Toyota Camry in that junkyard in 2050!! #kiasarebetternow
The Kia is pure crap and has no resale..
@@no_data_for_you LOL, cause no company can get better or improve I guess!!! Great business insight you must have!!!
2:32. BARRANCA PKWY AND PACIFICA ST in IRVINE!
But does it have wireless Airplay?
how is the market price
New center stack looks stupid, you can see how blanked off old a/c vents, ruins the lines for me
I’ve seen worse. Ford Explorer platinum
The thumbnail makes it look like a SUV
Whenever I hear the name Camry a small part of me dies
Good. The rest of us prioritize value, reliability, comfort, and peace of mind in the ownership experience.
@@DoctorSkillz At the expense of driving a fairly soulless appliance. At least this generation doesn't look as dumpy and unattractive as they have in the past, but I still never understood people who lease or buy brand new Camry's because they're "reliable", unless they intend to keep it for 10+ years for that reliability advantage to come into play, which many people don't.
@@Stressless2023 People are holding onto their cars longer and longer, we'll beyond the common warranty period. Moreover, time is money. Have you had to take your car in for service? I can guarantee the entire experience is needlessly time consuming.
@@DoctorSkillz I definitely agree that plenty of people buy their vehicles new and keep them well beyond the warranty period (I've owned my 2006 Acura TL for 13 years, bought it 2 years old certified used, still love it even after 1 transmission rebuild and some glitchy interior electronics)... But I also know that many consumers lease, and many more also don't keep their vehicle for 10+ years, and that in my opinion voids the main perceived benefit of buying a new Camry. I'm aware that plenty of consumers may enjoy the Camry for their own specific reasons, but I also see alot of consumers who buy them new solely based on a perceived reliability advantage, and I find it strange to buy an appliance-like Camry brand new with no intention of keeping it until that perceived reliability advantage can prove itself.
@@DoctorSkillz I prioritize reliability, sexy looks inside and outside, and a big item that no one offers anymore: a naturally aspirated v6
I got a chevy malibu love it but temping to switch to this
No CD player?
In Canada the Hybrid XSE gets a standard size sunroof, but the 4cyl or 6cyl XSE gets a panoramic, so no Hybrid for me 😂
Same for the USA
@@naveenthemachine the one in the video didn’t have a sunroof
@@brandonrego1359 I think that’s optional though
@@naveenthemachine standard on the XSE here. I don’t know why they make it different for each country lol
Canada does not get much sun. 😂😂
Standard Wireless apple carplay like most every other car manufacture is doing?
I personally prefer wired CarPlay over wireless. I Feel like the wired connection is more stable
TRD model looks more sporty and appealing
2011 Tota Camery Where Is This Place.
You sum it very well with "does not compare to the performance and handling of an Honda Accord".
Review over lol
Well kbb hates Toyota because they want everything sport sport sport
They overhype the accord as a sports sedan but it’s a family car…
Agreed. The Camry is so uncompetitive that even a civic touring destroys It
@@competitiveautomotive5457 ok now you’re reaching too far.
@@naveenthemachine am I? I guarantee if I see your Camry you’ll see just how ashamed you’ll be when My accord runs away from you
Ouu they should bring this black guy on more often .. He got spirit
How tall is Mike?
Why does it look bigger to me for some reason?
It's because the 2020 Camry was reviewed by Micah, who, even though he has an average 5'10 frame, will make the car look smaller than Lyn.
Same here. I thought it looked like an SUV version of the Camry from the thumbnail .
Why does this xse not have a sunroof, my se has a sunroof
On the XSE it’s optional
If you get the gasoline models, the 4 cylinder XSE and xle are available with a pano roof. But it’s standard if you upgrade to the XSE v6 or xle v6
Amazing can do a review and not mention the planetary gear set ; or the lithium battery that can burn forever
TRD Camry is the best Camry for 8th Gen.
You guys really like Irvine don't you
why toyota does not make wagon
I like the old model interior better with the lcd integrated into the dashboard. This iPad style sticking out looks very cheap
Cheap? If you want cheap, the Ford Explorer would love to meet you
I personally think this looks fine. Kind of reminds me of the Avalon which isn’t a bad thing
