On the inside you will be greeted by a leather interior and 12.3in infotainment screen. Under the hood is a 2.5L inline-4 that can be mated to a FWD or AWD. Is the 2025 Toyota Camry XLE the BEST new midsize luxury sedan to BUY?

Even though the sedan market is slowly dying out, Toyota keeps on killing it!
You are right, the Toyota Camry is dead as Toyota killed it. The 9th Generation 2025 Toyota Camry is a complete disaster. Worst Camry ever in design plus it is a Hybrid. No one wants a Hybrid or an EV. Best engines are naturally aspirated gasoline engines paired with an automatic or manual transmission and not a CVT /eCVT. Goodbye to the once Trusted and Worthy Camry with the 3.5L V6. Please do not purchase the 2025 Toyota Camry as it is the end of the road for Camry. Oh! The Toyota Crown is a Clown.
@@richscott2483 U.S. sales of hybrids jumped 50% in the first two months of the year.
The grill being a different color from the body makes such a big difference! I think this looks really nice compared to the trim you first reviewed with the white body and white grill. Great showcase as always!
This is a very good point!
Good observation. I like this one better with the contrast, especially with the black top as well.
The Camry is just such a handsome car for what is basically an ‘appliance’ car. 😮💨
Also big thumbs up on the move to hybrid only.
It's a near premium family sedan IMO.
It’s a car for smart people who like money and not showing off
@@brkctrl The Camry Hybrid is literally the highest scoring vehicle (according to Consumer Reports).
It is not “near premium”. It’s basic AF.
Thank you for being one of the very few that reviews the mid spec vehicles! To me, these trims, represent the best value of any model.
Joe, the Toyota Camry is the apostle to the Sedans & I love the way it looks. Even though pricing hasn't been set in stomr as of this filming of the video I feel that this is a Mercedes-benz but much much cheeper & more reliable.
Based on the 2024 pricing, my guess is that the 2025 will start at or just below $30k.
MMMM thanks a lot.@@JWFas
for people that don't have "luxury" salaries, anything practical, economical, and reliable is a luxury for us normal peole
Great review, Joe…and this redesign is a winner…love it!
And Laurie always does a fabulous job with the videos!
Thanks for showing Lori some love. We are sop glad Harry that you are digging this one.
@@RaitisRides did you see in minor changes to the 2025 Honda CRV
Prototype: Vehicle Locked

You know it!
Nah,

This new Camry XLE looks awesome, I have a 13 Camry XLE, and I love it, I do hope to get this newer one someday.
keep your 2013, i believe toyota & honda are sharing the same fate of furthering going downhill in reliability. CVTs, Turbos, more electronics.. just disasters on wheels.
Hope you get it to Bro, i have 2012 Camry hoping to get get new one as well
@@StockCarGuy Nope, just honda. Toyota and Mazda have been killing it lately in terms of reliability of their new cars
@@saiーツ idk about killing it, new tundra been a disaster, toyotas aren’t reliable as they used to be 20yrs ago
It's a nice sedan however I don't personally like the cloth like material on the dashboard mainly because it will get dirty in the long term and will be very difficult to clean.
Thanks for sharing this Raiti! I have been looking at the Camry and I'm glad to see a more in-depth look at the XLE trim.
You are so very welcome.
I'm a Honda Accord fan, but have to admit that Toyota is eating Honda's lunch on styling, AWD, panoramic sunroof, and horsepower. I would have to test drive one, though, to see if Toyota's are still a little boring on the road compared to Honda's driver's car feel.
I love it Joe it’s the best one they’ve ever made yet can’t wait for the drive and the XSE version and the pricing as well great video once again thank you Joe love that color combo on this Camry XLE thank you Laurie you always do such a great job on the camera
Great review. This will truly be a poor man's Lexus. This XLE trim has fantastic materials inside and looks sooo much better than the car it replaces. I, and some other folks will miss the Camry TRD's passing with its solid V-6 and enhanced handling/exhaust. All Camrys are now Hybrid with this current generation, so those of you shopping the Prius may find this to be worth the extra money. I have sat in a new Prius and can tell you that this car has suffered from some penalties in interior room and comfort. I am not tall and bumped my head getting into one. If you want a new mid-sized sedan, this is probably the smartest purchase you could make.
The XLE trim has been so difficult to find. A very underrated package.
U have the 8th camry David ?
@@anwarjaw2260 No.
You are so very right about that David!
@@anwarjaw2260lol you're such a wise ass😂😂
Skip the XLE and go with XSE and be sure it is not a Hybrid. Proud owner of a 2023 Camry XSE V6 fully loaded.
Out of all the mid-sized cars, this might be the best-looking one out of the bunch.
Agreed
Its not. Kia Stinger gt, accord (not the new one), audi a/s, es350, and i could go on
@@azazel673kinda not fair you’re comparing this to an audi and lexus 😭 but I see your point lol
@@TheKingMarkell I gave more cheaper examples also. And the comment said “out of all mid-sized” sedans. So its the same category. Camry’s new exterior design is a miss.
@@azazel673 fair enough
This updated body style is so attractive, especially knowing it's the XLE trim. Since the Lexus ES is also based on the same chassis, I can't help but wonder what changes may be in store for the Lexus ES in 2025.
Indeed this is what I am waiting for on the Lexus ES redo
This is getting me so excited for this Camry. I have never bought a new car, this is going to be my first. I’m going to have this thing for decades!!
Just remember, you can factory order it and pay MRSP through a Toyota dealership, don't pay mark-ups :)
That's not true because if the next gen looks way better you gonna wanna change it
New subscriber. Your reviews make me laugh and are knowledgeable. I'll need an SUV, preferably full sized one, by next year. 2nd baby on the way...and I know it's mine...no surprises. So I'm debating mid size suv vs full size...price is a major factor. But also want a 3rd row. Hoping through your videos, it will help my decision making end of the year.
This model Camry is a winner. The only one downside is tail light is not look as good as 2024 model tail light. Love the awd 230ish HP.
I'm not a big fan of the gap between the front headlights. It's a minor nitpick but I feel like every company is doing that now.
Idc what others think, this looks way better (especially the interior which most people agree on).
It just looks more clean and modern.
Just wish it didn't have so much piano black.
I'm 68yrs looking fkr what will probably be my final car purchase. My 2010 Camry is ready for retirement. Looking at the Rav4, and Kia Sportage,just because everyone seems to drive SUVs and I haven't really looked into sedans. However, this Camry is gorgeous! I might have to wait a few months until it shows up at dealers. Thanks for the review.
I'd definitely say to get this Camry over the RAV4 or the Kia, for sure!
Toyota looking like geniuses now with hybrids since the EV market has collapsed and it's future seems uncertain.
Also, who in a normal state is paying so much for gas with a hybrid that buying an EV ever justifies the price, beyond maybe a delivery/Uber driver?
This model camry will have record sales soon followed by the Honda accord due to the death of ev.
The quilted sides should have been a charcoal grey to complement the decor I see those areas getting dirty often
I actually see a lot of new Accords on the road, and a close friend of mine who manages the sales floor of a Honda dealer in the area says that not only are they selling above-expectation, but the vast vast majority of sales are the hybrid models.
I wonder if the Camry will have the same legs? It should. It already looks superior to the current Accord in several areas.
Love the teamwork between you two.
Thank you!!
21 NES Game cartridges!!😂😂😂 You're killin' me, Joe😂😂
The XLE trim has been so difficult to find)))
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
I absolutely love this Camry! This color is fantastic. Thanks Joe!
Just don't buy one. The 9th Generation 2025 Toyota Camry is a complete disaster. Worst Camry ever in design plus it is a Hybrid. No one wants a Hybrid or an EV. Best engines are naturally aspirated gasoline engines paired with an automatic or manual transmission and not a CVT /eCVT. Goodbye to the once Trusted and Worthy Camry with the 3.5L V6. Please do not purchase the 2025 Toyota Camry as it is the end of the road for Camry. Oh! The Toyota Crown is a Clown.
@@richscott2483I think this Camry looks great! The interior design is fantastic, and hybrids are the best way to get great fuel economy. I agree that EVs aren't where they need to be yet, so hybrid vehicles are the way forward for now. Why shouldn't I buy one?
@@richscott2483 Wrong buy a supercharged V8 thats a proper car... 2nd people who buy these as 2nd or run around cars dont care about CVT as they come with a 5 year warranty and i turn and burn them ever y3-4 years....
Hey Joe, I think I'm going to convince my wife to switch from our 2022 Highlander to 2025 Camry next year. It looks awesome. BTW, thanks for the introduction and waiting for the test ride soon. Keep up bud.
I saw it at the Chicago Auto Show on Saturday. It's a beautiful car. I wish they unlocked it, but it was nice to see it up close. Great review. I hope i can snag one as soon as it becomes available.
Thank you for another excellent review. The American auto manufacturers pretty much abandoned the sedan segment of the car market. But the Asian and European manufacturers are smarter than that. They know there are still plenty of people including myself who still prefer a car over a SUV.
Saw this at the Nascar race as the pace car. And also saw it at the LA auto show. I love this gen. So sexy.
The philosophy of Toyota's CEO, is to make different vehicles that appeal to all buyers. That's why they make, ICE, Hybrid, PHEV, EV and Hydrogen. They have no intention to pigeon hole themselves like GM and Ford did.
Great review like always. Not sold on the front bumper of the LE/XLE. I know the SE/XSE always had the more sporty looking front bumper, so I'm hoping that carries over. Sporty front bumper with the hammerhead headlights would look great. Maybe pictures exist, but I haven't seen them yet
Toyotas website has pictures of a silver XSE and a red SE.
@@planefan5812 ope, thought it was the same car, but I see the difference now. XSE front bumper does look better, but not as much as I was hoping for
I hope that they improve their paint quality. My Corolla hybrid only has 20k miles on it and the front end looks like I have 500k. I don’t tailgate, speed and I stay away from trucks. Doesn’t help.
Joe, you are my number one RUclipsr! Keep it up, bro!🫶🏾👌🏾
keep growing my man keep on the good work your reviews are amazing looove the passion you bring in your video very professional
Which would be a better choice from these 2 ?
This camry or crown ?
the crown if money isn’t an issue for you. they’re both great, but the crown is toyota’s “highest level” luxury car so to say
@@aymansaid1253 i see but dimensions seems smaller than a camry to me
Is it smaller or am i just tripping ?
Also i know its a toyota but is it as reliable as a camry or do you sacrifice some reliability for the luxury ?
@@shahangilani where are you getting the dimension info from? with a quick google search the crown is slightly longer and taller. also, you wouldn't be sacrificing reliability. it's pretty much always a given for toyota.
@@aymansaid1253 tbh i didn't check their dimensions
I just thought crown looked smaller lengthwise compared to camry but you're right i should have googled it lol i am dumb 😁
The back end looks the last generation Honda accord
Spring 2024 is next Tuesday. I am looking forward to buying this. I was at dealership yesterday and today looking at some Camry but would rather get this new one.
Me too, but I’m waiting for the Signia to come out as well.
What is the MPG difference between the front wheel drive VS. the all wheel drive Camry Hybrid??
I have not announced it yet... LATER....😔
FINALLY, The refresh of the Camry is here!! 🎉
I've been eyeing the XLE trim for a while now, the tech and comfort upgrades will certainly go a long way for the Camry.
I think it's the only one to offer heated steering, panoramic roof and ventilated seats vs. the Accord or Sonata. Definitely is the most luxurious of them all in my opinion! How much of a price hike are we expecting (if any)?
This is the best looking Camry of all time! I love it how they actually made it look like luxury!
it looks good and very nice interior
However a Massage to Toyota and Lexus:
all Lexus's and Toyotas should have Adjustable Leg Extension support specially for the driver seat.
It's really important specially for a comfortable driver position.
The Accord isn’t all hybrid yet, the lower trims are non-hybrid though I bet that’ll change soon.
It will not change. It will take a lot of Camry customers who do not like that Camry is all hybrid now. Some people just do not want a hybrid.
@@myytchannel6632 you can't afford to fix them when they break and now with the CVT the Camry is no longer a car that will last. Too expensive to repair-basically a disposable car.
I have never been interested in a Toyota sedan before, but mid-size AWD sedans that aren't gutless have been pretty much exclusively reserved for the luxury brands these past few years. Looking forward to seeing how it actually performs in tests. I'd rather it is not a CVT, but good chance this one will be considered by me for my next vehicle. I hope this is a big hit and it inspires more manufacturers to produce compelling cars. Not everyone wants an SUV.
I LOVE this NEW CAMRY! Nice color. Joe and Lori thanks for bringing this to us( QUEEN L G R Lori thanks for all you do You are a genius and a dare doll!) Enjoy your time guys in CHI TWN and I will see you on another ride.
Thanks for showing Lori the love!
Y A W Joe. Many on my blog really dug this video.@@RaitisRides
Thank you!!
Lori. You guys have a great SAFE time in CHICAGO ( My hometown) at the auto show. Sorry AGAIN I can not be there. I seldom get to the city anymore. Been a challenging time for my family with my niece KIMBERLY( HER AUGUST MARRIAGE THEN her OCTOBER DEATH, She was like a sister to me ) death and other things, I also may soon be moving far away from the city. Be seeing you guys on another ride.@@loriraiti4924
I would have loved to see a heating steering wheel for an XLE trim.
It is optional for the Heated Steering Wheel, need the Cold Weather Package for $180. The only Camry worth having are naturally aspirated gasoline engines, do not buy a Hybrid.
Proud owner of a 2023 Camry XSE V6 fully loaded. XSE is better than XLE.
Very tasteful and not overstyled.
2025 Toyota Camry looks sharp, no fog lights and look like its twin Pruis. The tail lights look like the Honda Accord older model
As always nice review Joe. Don't forget to mention the Mazda sedan😁
Its interesting because i can already imagine many people not liking the words 'cvt' and 'hybrid only'. One thing though is the way in which its done. Toyota is using engineering they have reiterated and improved for an enormous amount of time. They made it a point to focus on hybrid instead of diving into the EV race. So even though its a hybrid, its easily the most reliable hybrid system in the world. So i guess we will see how these are over time
Not a fan of hybrids, even Toyota's. My son had a Lexus hybrid that quit working and spent thousands at the dealership trying to figure it out to no avail. Ended up parting it out and got a new ICE SUV. Just one more thing to go wrong. No thankyou.
The most beautiful Camry ever! Good job indeed Toyota!
Looks better than the previous gen...and it looks way way better than the new accord...no v6 😢 and where's my exhaust tips 😢
Toyota has nailed the design on the new Camry! If they make the new Camry TRD (I know they didn’t say anything about making the new TRD), it would be exciting to see! I also like the NASCAR Camry, I can definitely see it on the next NASCAR races!
I hope they do
It looks the same..
that front style looks incredible
I think the 2021 - 2024 is much bolder and aggressive. The logo on the front was bigger and bolder too.
Those 10th Gen Accord tail lights are nice.
I was waiting for someone to say it
Toyota did the tail light correctly... Honda did not🚫
@@charlesjackson1700 In your opinion they're done correctly. But that doesn't take away from the fact that they copied Honda.
@@crushbandicoonThe dimensions, shape and size of the Camry tail light is nothing like the Accords.. I had a 2019 EXL 2.0 Accord.. I kept it for a year.. I got rid of it due to reliability issues.. It was not a good car.. The turbo leaked oil intermediately and the infotainment center went in and out.. I also had two fuel injectors replaced.. It had 8,200 when I got rid of it..
@@charlesjackson1700 Like I said that's your opinion. Joe seems to agree. And I'm sorry to hear about your reliability issues. I have a 2021 2.0 Touring with 14k miles and have had zero issues. We like what we like and no one is wrong, style is subjective.
When are they going to show the LE and SE trims??? So frustrating they only show the most expensive trims!
I’m most definitely getting one! Thank you for such a great video. You have me sold over a Honda EXL and an Acura TLX.
Way better looking than the Accord, AWD for the win. Plus it has an ECVT. Which is much better than what’s in a standard type CVT. Like from Nissan.
Agreed
Nice update …….much better interior 👍🙂
I am glad that you approve!
Definitely agree
Joe is a type of a guy to wear his hospital tag on the hand while reviewing Toyota Camry
This made me laugh harder than I should’ve 😂
This one looks like a winner.
I'm really curious how the regular LE and SE will look.
Boring
So I did my emissions today in Co I was behind a 96 Camry wagon beige clean asf brought back memories but better yet this new model will is hold up 28+years. Only time will tell but we all know Camry will most likely out live the owner unless other wise totaled
Joe what do mean final year of the Altima? Do you mean we are not gonna get a redesign for 2025?
Altima is said to be discontinued in 2025.
@@AG-fv4wd🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽 so Nissan is going to discontinue all their sedans
I’m a Honda super fan - but lack of AWD (and frumpy styling) with the Accord has me leaning toward buying the new Camry. A lot will depend on pricing.
Its growing on me but im still in love with my 2018 xse v6 ....im not a fan of 4cyl hybrid and front and rear bumper
Hoping to upgrade from my car soon, and Toyota releasing the new Signia/Camry might be it for me. Out of curiosity, I've always been told to avoid first year models of a new car, how true does that still stand in this day and age?
It really depends on the brand,. Toyota kind of has the teh Camry locked down.
Yes of course Joe and I will buy one of these.
Sounds like a plan!
I have a 2020 Toyota Camry se nightshade that 2025 Camry is niiicceee thank u MR. Joe💯💯💯💯
Honda ain't what it used to be. As a Toyota fan, it's a lot clearer nowadays which brand I'd pick as opposed to some good competition back in the day
Looks pretty nice.
Based on no mentions, is it fair to say no heated steering wheel or rear seats?
Does it have single or dual exhaust?
Shame this generation is hybrid only. I’ll miss the outgoing generation because of the V6. I wonder now will Toyota bring back any of the sporty trims they had? TRD Camry or a GR Camry?
I will be waiting for your full review Joe. Feels like a front row seat. This might be my next car. Hopefully it will remain affordable.
That is so fantastic to hear!
the hazard button at the left is a eyesore, why can't it be just in the middle like any other cars, not to mention the off center front facing camera.
Joe, any heated seats in the rear? Didn’t see any inboard ones, but maybe outboard?
No
@@2004cyrus damn that’s unfortunate. I was hoping it would be able to compete with the accord in that regard but I guess not
Look alot better than the Accord.
Finally 1mill lets go❤
Heck yeah! Thanks for the awesome support!
@RaitisRides keep going Joe, soon you will have more subscribers than Trump on his presidential bluffing 😂
Midsize Luxury? You're misrepresenting the title. It doesn't even have plastic hinge arm covers at 10:48. It's exposed metal and wiring harness.
XLE is the Toyota luxury trim.
Looks better than the boring ass Accord.
That’s a bold statement. These cars haven’t hit the road yet. You’re just judging from a yt video 😂.
@@jr1885 I see the new accord daily on the road. Bland af. I’m not saying this camry is gorgeous but it is more stylish than the accord, 100%.
@@fatbart8551 have you seen the new Camry on the road?
But the rear looks like an accord
Who’s watching in 2024?
No crap
Been watching since 2018 💯
Thanks for your support!
Um.... probably everybody.... stupid lol
@@Cartoonmpjuicellthanks for bringing on this journey with me
As a Camry owner he one thing I don’t like is the wide openings in the grill. It allows for lots of road trash to pass through
Is Toyota doing the annoying auto start/stop? Nice to see them stepping up the tech
Good video. One small correction- this isn't the first Camry with real leather seats. I had a 99 Camry XLE and it had real leather.
My in-law just bought a new 2024 Camry in 2024. Now it’s an older model already. 😮
Absolutely Great Video!
I didn't know that the Altima is going away.
Yes. The car breaks way before 100,000 miles due to bad cvts. this will also hurt the Camry even though I'm sure their cvt tech is better.
Still love my 2015 Camry LE. It's a 4-cylinder but, it's plenty of power.
I’m about to buy a new Camry. Looking at this model made me want to wait for the ‘25 to come out. BUT, I would not want a hybrid. It’s a beautiful new model.
Is it the only AWD hybrid sedan in that category?
Man i hope this comes out soon so people slow down on buying the prius. Im trying to get one for msrp but they keep selling out
235-50 tires would ride better with a bit more side wall. If i get one I'd try that tire after the originals wear out
A lot of black gloss. Entertainment console looks really good. Love the front.
The front facing camera should be straight on from the Toyota Badge down below. Not to the side by a couple of inches.
god dang it , can't decide between new camry, new brz or new mustang eco boost. 1st choice is mustang but its more expensive than the other 2
Man those are some tough choices!
Toyota will sell a ton of these considering Honda's massive redesign flop😅
I purchased a used 2013 Camry in 2016, and I love this v6. I keep up with the maintenance, and replace the oil every 5,000 miles. The only problem I'm had with this vehicle was in 2021 the original battery died. I've had no major repairs needed.
Honestly, I feel Toyota is making a major mistake in not offering the v6 engine. Hybrid engines are costly to repair. I am considering going to the Honda. Toyota just blew it!
Thanx Lorrie!
