Here's Why The 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid Is Not Your Dad's Bland And Boring Sedan!

- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2019
- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid is still one of the best-selling sedans out there, but it has thrown off its bland, boring reputation for something better - and more efficient - than past generations.

The camry has been introduced here in Spain, Europe, just this month, and I'm evaluating it in order to decide to buy it or not. Your review has helped me a lot. Yes, it's not an ultra-exciting car, but in some way, it does have it all. Thank you very much for your excellent review, congrats and regards from sunny Spain!
Most appreciated reviews. Going from my bmw e90 to a rental Camry Le is so relaxing. I really love the plush, seamless ride which is impossible to find what with every manufacturer putting 18” wheels standard on every damn vehicle lol.
Great review. Time just flies when I watch them.
"MPG is the whole point of this car." Well said. The buyer just needs to ask whether they want a Lithium or a Nickel battery as different trim levels come with both types.
What battery is better?
@@oopswoops1540 Nickel-metal hydride batteries have been around since the first Prius and proven their durability in Toyota Hybrids for more than 20 years. Lithium batteries may be just as good but we don't yet know their long term record. In any case, Toyota is certainly offering a very long warranty with Hybrid batteries.
@@rightlanehog3151 thanks for responding!!!
@@oopswoops1540 I would not hesitate to buy any Toyota Hybrid as they have proven their merit. I would go so far as to say they are the clear and obvious choice for commuter cars, CUVs and Minivans. Other brands are still experimenting with building Hybrids. If you want to be a Guinea Pig buy a Honda , Hyundai/Kia of Ford hybrid .
@@rightlanehog3151 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Thanks!
Awesome review thanks for your opionion especially on the fantastic looks. I just picked up our white hybrid camry ascent today and absolutely love it. Is a phenomenal car - ridiculously comfy with sporty feel that I wasn't expecting.
The difference between Eco, Normal, and Sport (or PWR) modes on Toyota Hybrids is it changes the accelerator pedals sensitivity. So Eco mode makes the pedal less sensitive so you have to press farther to get it to go anywhere (this helps you stay in the Traction Battery's accelerator range) Normal levels out the accelerator pedal so it won't be augmenting anything. Sport makes the pedal more sensitive so it feels like the car is taking off faster at slower speeds.
Take these up the IKE both gas and hybrid toyota vs honda and other mid size sedans please.
Toyota Avalon hybrid for me. Just need money now
Right on! I just bought a brand new 2019 Avalon XSE Hybrid for less than $35k and I'm getting 46 mpg average.

@@mustangzrx I think you made a solid choice.
@@mustangzrx Brand new for less than $35,000 Out The Door? Then that is a smashing deal.
@@myytchannel6632 Sale price was less than $35k. With trade I wrote a check for $25k.
@@mustangzrx Oh ok, I see. Then I see you probably paid about $36,000 to $38,000 out the door. When I factor in your trade. I wonder how much they paid for your trade.
If the price of the car alone without any trade was less than $35,000, that looks like a good deal for a brand new XSE.
Great car. I don't know if I should buy Avalon or Camry. Can't seem to find any slightly used Avalon Hybrid.
Just bought a 2020 SE model. I love it ❤️
We recently sold 3 year old Camry hybrid sport. 60k no issues very durable car. All NYC Uber drivers love this car. The only one issue the body very long almost like Trucks and not always fits on parking space between cars.
great review. Looks like a great car for the most parts.
That is one very impressive hybrid 👍🏼
Nice metaphor at the intro man.
Vanilla ice cream is the best selling in supermarkets and restaurants. But most popular doesn't mean it's most loved. Camry is arguably the most popular mid-sized sedan in terms of sales. Having owned a 2002 Camry for 15 years that my children, wife and I drove for almost 300,000 miles was the most reliable car and utilitarian vehicle I ever owned. Was it fun to drive? Not really. But it was very component, handled and rode well and never let us down or stranded. Was it a great looking car? Nah, but it was aesthetically acceptable. Our Camry offered great bang for the buck as well as safe and dependable transportation. But there was never any excitement to driving it and that's okay because it offered so many other positive attributes that it made up for those that were lacking and honestly really didn't impinge on the ownership experience.
It's obvious the Camry has now moved more upscale and the sport trim models could actually be considered somewhat exciting to drive and more economical than ever if you opt for the hybrid and I gladly welcome those changes.
Fun to drive is hard one in suburban areas or city streets unless you go to the twisties and seek out back roads. I agree csmry isnt the sexiest car ever, but i have a 2017 xle and love that body style, the curves and interior are very pleasant. Again not a sports car but on highway it'll scoot 85 mph easy without hesitation. And when i wanna drive ke a old man and get 550 miles a tank I'll slow way down snd obtain that just as well. Great cars, lil dull, but not having to worry about maintenance, or horrific recalls helps ease the mind as well.
@Michael Manjin...a good comment and realistic. Toyota MAY have figured out that to do much better than Honda, they need to address driving dynamics. Our 3rd gen prius was a typical example of numb driving', along with other Toyota models. The refresh Sienna SE was excellent, and the 4th gen Prius is much better, too. Thanks. PS..the latest Rav was a disappointment, in that area.
I've had mine for 1 year since last October. I went for LE because it has lithium battery but I got the 18" OEM rims/wheels (brand new take-offs from a XLE for dirt cheap)
just being curious, does it actually affect the mpg?
Nice presentation
Mine is 2018 Hybrid SE and I'm in love with it
Nabeel Jaghab what’s your average on mpg’s?? I’m thinking of getting the se hybrid.
Flop1014U now the factory says 44mpg combined, but I honestly can get up to 60mpg, it all depends how you drive, I highly recommend owning one, you will thank me later
@@Nabeel9999 Is there any brake issues with 2018…regen issue?
This is generation Camry isn’t lacking in the handling department in any trim.
Nice car..great video...like the TRD grill better..Thanks Nathan.
Ron Smith prefer the XSE trim
No kidding... really.. lol
AWD would be nice, nothing complicated with traction modes.
I think it is on a level of Lexus already, beautiful design and I beleive very comfortable and quiet.
Nice review. I get 63mpg on my 2019 Camry Hybrid LE. The SE trim model is sexier though.
Please have roman& nAthan featured more frequently on this channel!!!
Love the vids btw.
Nathan your milkshake brings all the boys to the yard!
Good review. It would be a nice car if you could put a Jaguar grill on the front.
If it was a jag grill it would cost double and consistently be in the shop broken clips or just falling off every hour. 😁👍
Can you review the Camry SE hybrid. Thanks Nathan
If the grill is an issue, just choose the SE Hybrid, which has the same front bumper as the TRD Pro.
My experience with le 2020 ,I drove 680 Mile with 12 gallon gasoline,this car amaazed me . it's wonderful car, thanks Toyota,✌️😷🤪
"Thats basically because I drive like a shmuck" 😂😂 Best line ever! I drive like a shmuck too nathan! But it's about smiles per gallon not miles per gallon right?
Jon B Helzz ya!
Lol,
Until gas jumps back to 5 bucks a gallon. Then those smiles begin to fade with worry and anger how fast that tank goes.
Jump to April 22' and the only people "smiling" about gas prices right now are hybrid and full EV vehicle owners!
All it needs is AWD and fog lights
They are both necessary “options” in NE Ohio!
Then, I would buy
Can You Put a TRD or XSE Grill on the XLE???
i like that grill better, than the too busy front of se & xse
Nice video man...sexy car!
I went on a trip the other day with my 2018 Toyota Camry LC and I got 41.9 miles per gallon gasoline
If it was your money which would you buy? The Rav hybrid or the Camry?
If you're around 6ft 4 the Camry has more legroom
Which one is the better Hybrid. Camry or Avalon? Compare video?
Avalon
How do you guys get the headlights to flash like that in tests ?
They arent actually flashing, I think has to do with led lights and camera
Im thinking about getting one of these I want the cooler wheels though
Considered getting this but got the xse instead and enjoy the auto over cvt. Plus as you said driving like a muck you only got 8 more mpg so that makes my xse worth it.
@blacknester The 2019 Camry hybrids all have CVT transmissions.. All Camry hybrids have CVT transmissions.. The Camry all wheel drive has the 8-speed automatic.
@@charlesjackson1700 No, the Camry Hybrid has an e-CVT, which has nothing to do with the CVT used by most manufacturers. Unlike a conventional CVT, Toyota's e-CVT uses no belts or pulleys. It's not even a transmission at all, per se. It's just a set of planetary gears connecting the electric motors. It's probably even more reliable than Toyota's conventional eight-speed automatic.
totally agree about the front ugly grill!!! Toyota designer must be on drug including those management who approved the design.
Still better looking than prius.. or even lexus fronts
that would look so much better as a hatch
or wagon.
why are sedans getting rid of fog lights?
That's what I'm saying. Giving less for more money.. Saving wiring etc. Instead cheap plastic. I need some foglights
Because of LED technology which is more effective
@@jakubek89 I bet you believe in bigfoot too. DONT YOU. SHEEP
Because most people are clueless to even use them... hence it’s deleted.
"I drive like a schmuck" so funny, love it! I do too. :)
I can’t believe they didn’t offer cooled seats in the Camry hybrid! I planned on buying this car until I found out they don’t offer cooled seats so now I’m looking into the Honda Accord hybrid. Toyota should be offering a limited or touring trim like the accord hybrid.
Elite Closer the 2020 Camry was officially posted on the Toyota website, the XSE and XLE have options to get cooled seats
Sundeep Singh if that is the case than I would rather wait for the 2020 Camry. The only question is will the cooled seats be available on the hybrid version?
Cooling seats are overrated
Josh Mann not when you live in Houston. Also some cooled seats work better than others. My sister has a new Avalon and her cooled seats worked so well I had to turn them down to low because it was so cold.
@@Catman1798 cooled seats are miracles for those with sweaty back syndrome.
Wish toy would put a little more time an $$ into the electric motor and battery and. Come up w/a somewhat better 0 to 60, from the electric part of the setup.can we get that down under 5 or 6 seconds ?
Then people would take notice
The new eCVT has a starter gear just for this, lol.
Wow! 598 mile range. That would last me half a year.
So it’s actually the E class and the Accord is the 5 series
Camry all the time
How much Camry hybrid cost in USA?
całkiem mocny gość he said about $38,200, before sales tax, for that well-equipped XLE. Pretty steep.
podobnie jak w polsce
@@scudo5242 faktycznie, kiedyś chyba była większa różnica a teraz u nas akcyza z 19 na 9 % to powinna być tańsza o co najmniej 15k
Someone over at ford needs to take notes. How does this thing get A)more HP. B) more MPG and C) no trunk hump.
If ford could fix those 3things, hell, at least match the mpg and find someplace else for the battery and they'd be number 1 in the class because the fusion just outright looks better and has a better interior than Camry.
The Avalon Hybrid is much nicer car
10k is 200 a month est. Not a huge difference in size now, but avalon does have more sound insulation, and if you watch rebates, avalon has 5k in rebates as we speak. So the lower trim avalin is cheaper then xle camry
Right on! I just bought a brand new 2019 Avalon XSE Hybrid for less than $35k and I'm getting 46 mpg average.
casmiami.com/Files/Products/95612_1.jpg
It’s bigger rides better and it’s way more comfortable and everyone else says it’s about the same mileage
Surprised the reviewer didn’t mention the rebate factor.
Literally pointless car. Might as well go Lexus
If this get 50mpg shouldn't a prius get 70?
@Kevin Wiltshire...a 4th gen prius gets around 53-60 per tankful, and that is the realistic way of measuring mpg, higher in warmer months and lower in winter months...depending on load and driving manners. Thanks.
That is a huge case
This is a nice car for short trip or around town. I found this vehicle to be horrible on long drives. It was comfortable early on, but not long term. You sit so low to the ground your legs are always stretched out and your back is not in a good posture. I liked the pep and speed out of it. I got about 42-44 with the XLE. I detested the remote start on an APP you have to pay extra for! And I hated when you would autostart it as soon as you open the door it kills the engine... ALSO the value of this car dropped significantly! Got rid of mine!! I drive too much to not be comfortable. Also no rear USB or power outlets... RESALE IS NOT GOOD also..
mike clark good points. I think you prefer the taller suv, like most buyers today. I have heard Camrys depreciate fast.
Now, is eCVT in Camry really a CVT?
Toyota should fire whoever designed that grille immediately! What a travesty!
And whoever designed the Lexus grills as well.. and the back of the prius.. it's horrible
I'm not paying 40k for a camry... I would get the base 1 year old
Just got the 2020 SE hybrid model for 5k off sticker price.
@@EL28 which was
@@DSNCB919 $26,500 with zero miles
Wonder if they come in beige?
We drove one with hihg expectations, having owned a 4th gen prius and a refresh sienna SE...the Rav 4 was a disappointment, due to body roll and numb steering...the usual Toyota 'issues' as compared to honda, not to mention the european cars. Thanks.
Comeon !!! XLE with no fog lights ??? Toyota is getting cheap
Dave Wolly for a pair of fog lights cheap? Look modern luxury cars they dont use it anymore its replaced led headlights
Yea because. They found away to give you less for more. I like foglights.
I don't know what's with Toyota styling lately on many of their cars. It seems like they get their design ideas from sea creatures of the Mariana Trench.
God damn it, ended up going to ice cream store after watching this vid.
I was going to get this car but we'll stick with my 1981 Ford Fiesta it's a pretty sweet ride
The Best care in this world fantastisch! Very spicy
Great until you have to replace the battery at $4200.00 the bit of extra mileage savings just isn't worth it.
I was looking for this comment. I’m surprised you spent so little. I saw reports of a guy who was getting 20k at his Infiniti dealership. After the report, they brought it down to 10k
WOW Toyota must be paying TFL a lot of money lately!
@Ale Bob LOL! NO! ;)
No, they are going the unusual way: they are building quality vehicles!!
@@marcuslang6153 I am being sarcastic as Nathan was really selling it hard! lol
My 2016 Hyundai Sonata hybrid limited gave me very similar miles. I got around 590 miles I feel you guys should compare toyota VS Hyundai there hybrid versions they got a lot to give and in my opinion they compare so much more then Honda.
Ale Bob well sure that’s ok this is why competition is good keeps Toyota’s better and more affordable with more gadgets I’m not saying it’s better then the Toyota I’m just saying mileage wise it’s up there. I’m no fan of CVTS but if your not a power plant geek and just base your idea on a brand and word on street and personal opinion you’ll live in that bubble forever. I’d love to hear your opinion.
Just male it a lift back and I’m sold.
There should definitely be optional body styles.
Right Lane Hog I currently own a Hyundai Ioniq with a lift back and am amazed at how much I can pack into the truck of it, Especially odd shaped items that would never clear the opening of a conventional trunk. It just improves the usefulness of a vehicle.
@@jsboening I bought my first hatchback in '99 (Mercury Tracer/Mazda 323 3 door) and even though it was a tiny car it was incredibly adaptable for carrying cargo. In 2005 I bought a Pontiac Vibe wagon which can carry a 9 foot ladder and handle a small load of 2X4s better than most of today's mega-pickups. Unless I hit the jackpot and get a budget to acquire several cars, I will never buy one with a trunk again.
No sport front in thailand.
Too expensive in thailand
@Ale Bob like if he has a choice
These new grills car companies are using are just damn ugly and ruin the rest of the cars design. Somebody must be giving these out to car companies or paying the companies to use them. LOL
So gets same gas mileage as my 1999.5 TDI...
But looks and drives way nicer and HAD ALOT MORE. YOUR POINT. IS INVALID
Factor in that diesel fuel is more expensive... $2.61 unleaded vs $3.09 diesel per gallon average in the Midwest as of July 2019. Also in my area, many gas stations don’t have diesel. Far too inconvenient.
Cylon car ... their helmet is integrated to go ...
TRD grill is ten times better.
shmock!
The Accord Hybrid is so much more attractive 💯
But...accord hybrid is prettier, has a nicer interior, gets similar mpg, and costs $4k less for the base model.
No one buys honda hybrids
That is also true. But I’ve always liked the first gen accord hybrids. V6 and 30+ mpg. I understand Toyota dominates the segment.
Vanilla Coke is disgusting
I’d be all over this if the Tesla Model 3 didn’t exist. $39K for this Camry example... a Model 3 with the spendy $6K Autopilot is $44,500 or $5,500 more.
Dude how many times you have to post the same thing
I.m.o.: Leave out the useless, dangerous autopilot and the "3" is still no comparison to the new Camry. The "3" might achieve 200.000miles (if you achieve 200k before the batteries wear out after 10-12years)? But with the Camry EVERY one reaches more than 200k miles, some even more than 300k miles!!
BTW the range is 550miles and the refuel time is 5min...
Marcus Lang Enjoy your Camry.
The honda accord hybrid is way better!!
In what way ? there very similar
Sorry there not as similar as you may think if you were to compare them both the honda beat them in every way. Plus I was in the market and to me the Camry seemed cheaply made and didnt have alot of that I was looking for and if they did have them it cost more to get them. The accord hybrid was just a all around better car to me.
@@TheBlackassin Name one thing thats better in the accord vs the camry
Mpg, cargo space, leg room in front and rear, sunroof is standard in the accord and opinion in the Camry meaning you have to pay for it, android auto is standard in the accord and not available in any toyota, rear heated seat and cheaper but made better the the Camry
@@TheBlackassin 2019 camry get better mpg (except the v6), leg room has like a inch difference but that noting to brag about. sunroofs aren't all the rage either but i will agree on andriod auto though it'll get it eventually.
Why do HYBRIDS HALFTA BE BLAND?? THIS IS STILL BLAND NO MATTER HOW U SHAPE THIS UP
Its a Toyota! Bland is their market.
This isn't Vanilla (which is a decent flavor)...... This is a Camry or in the ice cream world this would be the equivalent of Ice Milk, not Vanilla. Don't insult Vanilla Nathan by putting a Camry in comparison.
Might as well be driving a washing machine.
Ford has a fantastic lineup coming!!! Get ready
Yeah, the Ford sedan lineup was so good they axed them all.
Joseph Montgomery for your information Ford was just first and pulling their car lineup now the other auto makers are following suit they did produce a very good Sedan very quality their pick up trucks are number one for over 42 years in a row and they will succeed in this adventure also buckle up and watch I know what’s coming down the shoot they’re fantastic lineup will soon be announced this upcoming year
ripfletching Yes, but you are bringing this up in the wrong video.
VoidOfBeeswax lol 😂 you’re right just saying so many people just don’t know yet things are changing fast
While I'm sure they are excellent cars, I just can't get over the ugly interiors of these new Camrys. I think the outside looks great but Toyota dropped the ball on the inside!
I’ll take the Tesla Model 3 instead
daguzify Same here. This Camry as tested is $38,800. A Tesla Model 3 with no discounts with the spendy $6K autopilot is $44,990. Basically an extra $7K gets you a cool fast car that’s even more energy efficient. Without the Autopilot and lightly optioned a Model 3 is within $1-2K of the Camry. Game over!
@@epi2045 a camry is not cool and a model 3 is also not.cool
Pumping your stocks?
