      I think the powertrain is different. The North American model Camry is a 2.5-liter hybrid. The Japanese-spec Prius comes in a 1.8-liter hybrid and a 2.0-liter hybrid. If the North American Prius is 2.5 liters, the body size and design will be slightly different, but you may be right.

    I'm coming around to liking the 2025 Camry. Never been much on hybrids, but non plug in hybrid is ok with me as it requires no added effort than any gas only engine cars.
    The 19 inch rims with rubber band tires look nice but on this car really an expensive over kill. 18" rims with 50 series tires would be a better more livable alternative or even 17" and 55 series tires. I know the XLE has 16" rims.
    The e-cvt transmission is a logical choice for such a hybrid. Though I'm old school and like manual transmissions. That said I understand the market this car is offered to.
    But all in all a nice , roomy, sporty looking with enough performce sedan.
    I'm so tired of boring all looking the same CUV/SUV choices. For 9/10 people an appropriate sedan or better hatchback/coupe would be a better lifestyle choice than 🤭CUV/SUV. But such is choice... People should give a good sedan or hatchback a drive before just defaulting to a CUV/SUV.🤔

    What is the appeal with AWD in a sedan? The benefits seem minimal in most climates and the downsides are many;
    - more complex drivetrain components that may require more frequent inspections and maintenance to ensure they are functioning properly.
    - regular fluid changes for the differentials and transfer case.
    - The need to replace all four tires at once instead of just two
    - AWD vehicles typically consume more fuel than their FWD counterparts.
    - higher upfront purchase price compared to FWD models.
    Can someone let me know what I'm missing?

    • @GTGarageTalk
      @GTGarageTalk  6 месяцев назад +6

      This uses Toyota’s new electronic AWD. It’s an electric drive motor at the rear. No mechanical connection or differentials to worry about.

      @@redSectorA AWD if you live in snow country. Got no problem with that. But if you're living some where with little if any snow AWD is overblown. With 2025 Camry 0 to 60 is show on huge difference between AWD and FWD. As first poster mentioned tires wear down quicker with AWD and might need to be replaced all at once. Lastly with FWD you have weight on front tires. That give you excellent traction and will help you out (even in snow country) if you get stuck. But to each his own but I'd rather save XXXX just going with FWD.

      @@RobLove-lf6dt I appreciate your insight!
      Indeed, in regions with minimal snowfall, the benefits of AWD might not justify the extra cost and maintenance. FWD can offer sufficient traction in most conditions while being more economical in terms of initial purchase price and potentially lower maintenance costs. I think saving money by opting for FWD will be the sensible choice for my driving requirements.

    My 2020 Camry ruined a 30 year relationship with Toyota. Toyota saying all the problems with it were normal isn't a fix. It was the biggest piece of junk I've ever owned and because of Toyota's attitude towards fixing it, I probably won't be buying another Toyota product. I was excited buying it and a lot more excited when I dumped it. The dealer put in block sealer behind my back trying to get rid of the hot antifreeze smell and the car couldn't go a month without something electrical and mechanical acting up.
