Always amazes me to how people never use the Auto function for climate control. You set it at the temperature you want and the car does its best to get you the temperature you want as quickly and efficiently as possible and maintains it. Works like a charm even when it’s -40c out as it senses when the coolant is warms up enough and blasts the heat accordingly.
I find that if you are trying to warm up the cabin it will blow warm air until it gets to that temperature and then it will start blowing cool air. The problem is with any vehicle that lets you set a specific temperature. The feature that it controls seat and steering wheel heat/vent is cool.
@@djplonghead5403 That has not been my experience in any vehicle I’ve ever owned or rode in with auto temperature control. While it may give cooler air to maintain its set point, I’ve never noticed it.

I am in the market for a hybrid under 40k and I have been going back and forth on the prius and the corolla cross hybrid, now this throws a wrench in the works. Might be best to wait for this one to be readily available!
The Corolla-Cross Hybrid is a strong contender. They are that good. Even the RAV4 is incredible, which is what I've got right now, 2024. My next car will likely be the Corolla-Cross, since it has the lay-flat rear seat of an SUV, and even better fuel mileage than the RAV4 hybrid...not by much, but still 2 mpg better.
Toyota is going to steal some sport sedan enthusiasts. I love the Acura TLX type S. Hard not to go for a Camry XSE instead, good looking, 45mpg compared to 20, and premium fuel. That's about 3.5 times the fuel cost a year, and it's almost 20Kcheaper. Crazy value for a good looking car
priorities of driving fun, saftey, effiency , sustinability, , are very harmonious with each other, but laws like CAFE laws and media influencers are encouraging the market to go against what is good for everyone, and engineers at car companies are simply taking the beating and obeying this sad world order because fo their finance team. toyota real world fuel effeincy is better because bfsc chart , epa testing drives cars slowly so small engines are more effceint in that testing but in real world, over tubro bossting small engine is common in average driver behavior . i want gordon murray auto them to collborate on prius , or at leasta version of prius thats more of a handling car because preserving momentum arounds turns to a extent is less usage of materials , less emissions, than relying on decreasing battery life of regenrative braking system, and account for tire wear dust emission and brake dust (for soem brake types) too. for example, imagine prius with no trunk and had peopel sitting lower by shorter structure height, light cheap slippery areo kit protecting weight focused structure perportioning of glass etc a front wheel drive hybrid and a midrear engine rear wheel drive for better non powered momentum preservation , because battery recycling cannot fully happen and currently has been not happening much, hybrids use less materials than any other setup, that means less emissiosn too. also factor in that weight rmakes crash safety, road wear repair rates, materials usage , all emissions including tire emissions (emissions analytics website, endocrine disruptor microplastic, etc) , driving fun (light weight allows easier traction control and traction loss control and allows less powered steering which allows feeling how close to grip limit car is like mclaren/lotus elise/emira etc) . factor in corbrett report, vocational science of freedom, etc, realizations about th climate crisis issues, CAFE laws and europes equal being nonsense supporting "suv" and electric cars (almost the worst car type and the most popular among these "environmentalist") , ani nuclear nergy sentiment among these "enviromentalist", etc... situation for electic cars gets worse. we dont have a already mass scale solution , at best there maybe the "electric universe nikola tesla" theories , if you like. they could make a compact 4 seater that is liek coupe with practical rear seat (not as is usually done) ,, and they can have recycled forged carbon fiber and suspesnion that angles and heightens the car to have it lower crash absorbing stuff hit that of tall suvs . if it doesnt hit lower sitting cars well, at least it doesnt get hit in its weaker parts by the other cars stronger parts. driving fun is mostly about the challengeing game of often being near danger because everyone values not crashing, so its exciting. quickness (liek go forces) doesnt really matter. but a more commonly enjoyable driving fun is speeding more at optimal power and RPM level according to bfsc chart (similar deal also in electric power motors) on more rather downhill roads and even very temporarily beyond areodynamicly effceint speed before rather uphills roads, and steering braking minimally and smoothly... this is driving effciently, and you could be obsessed over the greater amount of pursuit of perfection that could be had compared to proper h pattern manual clutch experince, because you could get excited similarly as much about such goals as you would care about not crashing. maybe you can combine both by simulated version of such manual in effceint drivetrain that isnt too non dramatic, as a real h pattern clutch would, or maybe even better if your open minded to having high quality speakers at headrest give a sense of sound communicating how close to grip limit you are to acompany the rather non power steering sort of driving experience , or hearing the limited slip differential torque vectoring so you can feel precisely how its distributing torque and wheel rpm even when you dont have traction to feel it. ..............................all this stuff is good for everything that makes driving fun (except louder driving sounds and more danger by quicker paced driving at race track, where stuff like 0-60 mile per hour in 2 seconds isnt disappointingly boring for the costs because the fun doesnt last long enough) and everyone average crash saftey, and less usage of materials for longer lasting 1st world living standard (sustainability and chemicals toxicity) : light weight, showing the driver how close to grip imit he is at, relativly higher grip for making risky effceint driving safe , easy to own cheap reliable car, hybrids instead of electric car for weight and recyclability and materials usage economy sustainability, mid rear engine weight distribution, some non hybrids, limited slip differential (presumably a effceint one that probably disengages when not used, for less tire wear , stability when making speed on curving downhill roads for effiency) . CAFE law and europes equal and influencers, all go agaisnt the type of car that is actually good, in favor of the opposite. car companies pretty much neer try to influence things, they just take the beating and obey. ironicly, these people pretend to care about emissions, saftey , actualy enjoying cars instead of using them overpay for cheap quality social status... much of the world is like this nowdays. corbett report, vocational science of freedom how your assets are stolen from birth, divine speech by nouman ali khan and sharif randhawa (the only attempt to see rationality in "religion" )

Wow, just wow! You did a perfect review of both the LE and XSE. I watched both of them side by side. Even though the XSE has acoustic noise reduction glass on front windows (both have acoustic w/s), I felt that LE was significantly quieter than the XSE in your video. You had the panaramic sunroof only half open in the XSE to replicate the LE's moonroof and had the mic in the exact same position. Just done it perfectly! So much better than just a car review! I think the LE might be better value than the XSE if people prefer lower NVH.
Kirk, i went to a lexus dealer today and i was told info about the LFR, RC, IS, LC, and LS. First of all the LS is getting discontinued, the ES is getting redesigned to replace it soon. The LFR is coming out spring 2026 for the 2027 model year. Fully electric 2300HP equivalent. LC redesign soon with the same engine as the LX. RC getting face lifted soon. LX facelift 2026my. IS getting redesigned 2026MY.
That’s really sad that the LS will get discontinued. The LS is what started the brand in 1990. They could have improve the existing RWD platform and redesign the styling inside and outside and call it a day. I guess it is what it is to be discontinued.
@@joecrash1232 Fact is the full size luxury car segment has declined to point were demand is very little and there are no open minded buyers left in the class. Look at the sales of the G90. It's selling Even worse than the ls . overall Mercedes or bmw will be the only ones who remain there.
@@Mylifeislegendary982-vd3vI It’s true that full-size ultra luxury cars aren’t popular by any means, but I’m still disappointed by the potential discontinuation for the LS.
Kirk, the Camry has been using the 2.5 liter hybrid system for years, it's not something new. Just the hybrid system is slightly upgraded regarding the drivetrain for more power, better mileage. Oh yeah, the entire rest of the 2025 Camry is an upgrade for sure. I really like the classy Lexi-look of the Camry now. Not that the 2024 model was ugly, but it was getting sort of tired looking. Excellent review. Nice looking car inside and out!
@@jonathanratliff4780 did you Google TNGA? Do you know it is? Lol. I'm sure you meant TNGA-K, at least. FYI, Lexus TX, yes TX, the new 3 row is also based on TNGA-K. So as the ES, RX, Camry, Avalon, etc. That's just architecture and means nothing. Modular wise, the ES is Avalon based and NOT Camry. Get that straight. The ES has not been Camry based for 2 generations now.
WHERE IS THE ES 300H UPDATE! man I have been waiting for too long. I don't care what they do with it or change, all I want to see if the es300h being offered as AWD and being able to put the back seats down, that is all I am asking...
The only miss on the XSE is that there is no option for memory seats which is only available on the XLE. I’m most likely going to wait a year before my next car. Trying to decide between this, the Prius and the upcoming Kia K5.
I wanted the memory settings as well but you have to get a ridiculously priced optional package and that's not worth what they charge for it. Getting a base XLE or XSE for the acoustic front side glass and nicer interior options. I have to have the Heavy Metal color which isn't available on the LE.
They should make a Camry Prime with 305 HP & 310 lb-ft of torque. That would make it an interesting performance orientes version of this new generation of the Camry
I would have a hard time to going for a hybrid. I get bit worried about the cost to maintain it, but based on the how Toyota been with Hybrids all these years. I do feel a bit comfortable to buy a Toyota hybrid now. I still prefer gas cars, but I'll take a chance on it. In Toyota We Trust.
I have purchased the Toyota hybrids for years, over a decade. Pruises, Camry, and RAV4s, all have been completely reliable. Like some other poster had stated, Once you buy a hybrid Toyota, it is really difficult to go back to a basic gas model. They are that good!
Kirk, Your review,aside from being excellent, was definitely "grin inducing :}".You covered just about everything I need to know.I'll be joining the hybrid fraternity this summer.Either a soon to be introduced Civic hybrid or Camry SE or XSE.Will be sad to part with my beloved '15 Mazda 3 6sp HB but times are a'changin'.You're one of the top 2-3 reviewers I watch regularly. Keep up good work. Rick/78/Seattle
I currently own a 2020 LE and my dream was always a V6. After seeing this I might buy the new gen eventually, those 225 hp are enough for me to have fun anyway 😅 not to mention the immediate torque the hybrid gives you
The MPG rating is just unbelievable. You cant beat it. It is sad to see the V6 go away but this is the new era and you can either cry and weep or adapt and accept.
It looks a bit like a Prius, but if you look closely, it's completely different. I think it's a good design. However, the rear seat space is small. The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder hybrid uses Toyota's latest generation hybrid system to provide powerful driving performance and good fuel efficiency.
Rip to regular gas-powered cars, but this is definitely a great step forward. Everyone needs an efficient vehicle 52mpg is nice. I prefer this over fully ellectric. Best of both worlds. And yes, prices will go down on repairs as they become more common.
If you read Consumer Reports on-line, or the Annual Auto Issue, you will find that the Toyota hybrid vehicles are even more reliable than the gas-only Toyota vehicles. Yes, hard to believe, but true none the less. Check it out at your local magazine for sale rack.
I know it wouldnt happen but imagine if they threw the hybrid max power train from the crown platinum in here in a trd version. It'd actually be respectable because it'd probably do 0 to 60 in inder 5 seconds. Crown platinum is 5.3 but it weighs quite a bit more than a camry.
Why all the fuss about a 4 cilinder engine instead of 6...., the 4 cil hybrids are magnificent and very fuel efficient.... . Besides that, 6 and 8 cilinder engines are over and out... . Be glad you are still not forced to Bev's like us in the Netherlands 😢😢😢😢😢
All of this fuss is because of some ultra micro tiny small group of people online complain with their troll accounts. Full majority don't have any issue with hybrids.
Sad part about how great the Camary is when the new Rav 4 gets announced it’s going to take from the Camarys sales. I’m guessing it’s going to have the same power train
@@NarasimhaDiyasenarav4 and Toyota 4runner are two completely different vehicles. The 4runner is a body on frame solid axle offroader with a massive cult following and strong resale value. The rav4 on the other hand is a fwd based crossover with no offroad capability whatsoever that is only bought by people who have no interest in automobiles. So i don’t think people are going to cross shop Toyota 4Runners with a rav4
It still uses the TGA platform from 2024, the same 2.5 liter hybrid set up, but with fine tuning on the hybrid system, new dashboard, new grill and tail section. I would say "strong refresh". It's difficult to improve upon perfection, just some heavy fine-tuning.
this camry is so beautiful..... the exterior of the new accord is too simple....it looks like the designers or the previous generations of camrys were hired by honda.....LOL
Best investment I made coming from two dodge Chargers , BMW and now Toyota Camry XSE gets down to like 129 mpg and only have to put in 23 and fills her up to 450
It was incorrectly stated that the rear spoiler is paint-matched. I despise the gloss-black plastic, and I’m not a fan of the bottom portion of the steering wheel, where I often hold it.
The 2025 Toyota Camry XSE has a luxurious interior with modern features such as a large touch screen, premium sound system, leather seats or leather seat,s and mesh made from high-quality materials. The car's exterior has a beautiful design with bright LED headlights and a sporty frontbumpe .The vehicler can also be had with light alloy wheels and a sports rear wing.
Kirk can you drop a link to track all 2025 camry orders so we can locate one i tried going through the lexus IS excel sheet you had posted but the camry orders is not loading. Thanks!!
@@Anomize23 I've never bought a vehicle of any kind with tan guts. That's been a pet peeve since I was a kid. With that said, I might dislike the red in this car even more. There are several cars that can pull off a red interior, but the Camry isn't even close to one of them.
It would be nice to have a more powerful option but honestly, 225/232 hp is plentyy. As long as it's fun to drive, pedal feel, steering feel n stuff matter way more
We have the 3.5 V6 mated to an 8-speed auto in our 2018 Highlander. We love it, don't get me wrong, but we're averaging 14.0L/100km on daycare runs. It's a good thing we don't do a ton of mileage. It definitely sounds nice and angry, but at the end of the day, it's a family car. I'd rather get stellar fuel economy (pollute less, spend less) than have an audibly pleasing engine. It's also deceivingly not-that-fast for 300+hp, but it's also moving 2,000 kg. The Camry is in the 1,650 kg region, so 230hp should be quite nice, and 4.7-5.3 L/100km would be even nicer. With only the (eventual) Mazda6 PHEV in the way, I think a Camry SE AWD will be the firm replacement for my current 2014 Mazda3 2.0 6MT. Maybe in 2027-ish. I want to give Mazda a chance at wow'ing me. And besides, my Mazda3 has basically been a Corolla in reliability all these years, and averaging me 6.5L/100km with a fantastic amount of joy behind the wheel.
I was quite impressed with your review of the LE. The XSE is where it falls apart I think.. Trying way too hard. The crazy front end and the low profile tires really bring attention to the side profile being such a plain jellybean car with a nose kit jammed on there. Not sure what the XSE camry was ever trying to accomplish anyway. The coolest Camry's were always the V6 models with the plain base model styling. Cars that purely anonymous but secret luxury missiles.
@@Mrtellitlikeitis Or even the LE V6 models with steelies/hubcaps! Or even back a bit further, when you could get V6 with the 5Spd. Looked like grandmas grocery getter, but would embarrass a lot of flashier stuff.

Kirk if you can and will answer this did you drive the XLe? How does it feel with the 18 inch wheels it may be a bit more compliant suspension? This is what I’m interested in I’d like to have 16 inch wheels on it at 63 years old I’m just interested in quiet and smooth and comfortable lol
Well, I will keep my V6 XSE. Just the sound alone makes it a better option, especially paired with the magnaflow exhaust... all everyone talks about is gas mileage etc... well, I prefer "smiles per gallon"...
The new lexus IS has a awd, and rwd option which is quite nice. The new Camry XSE is like the IS300, but with actually good gas milage but without the speed, and the actually functional paddle shifters.
My mother 70yo grandma aged woman would prefer Limited Edition. You mentioned grandma LE. Those that buy LE version are younger and looking for cheapest option.
yes agreed but SE gets a sporty suspension setup. I'm a young value buyer and I'd pay more for that. The cheapest option is a car that is paid off and kept for the longest time with the lowest running costs. Camry (and most Mazdas) tick those boxes.
Finally, a non tacked screen for the infotainment and gauges. Everything looks integrated. The interior design is actually pleasing.

My next car will likely be the Corolla-Cross, since it has the lay-flat rear seat of an SUV, and even better fuel mileage than the RAV4 hybrid...not by much, but still 2 mpg better.
Toyota is going to steal some sport sedan enthusiasts. I love the Acura TLX type S. Hard not to go for a Camry XSE instead, good looking, 45mpg compared to 20, and premium fuel. That's about 3.5 times the fuel cost a year, and it's almost 20Kcheaper. Crazy value for a good looking car
As always great review. I really like the simplicity of just the LE version. So happy it is available in AWD. The Price is great as well!!
Auto enthusiasts only care about something till it's gone. The V6 only made up about 6% of sales for the Camry.
Agree These enthusiast living in a bloody dream. They are so Damm annoying plus political now. It's unbearable now.
priorities of driving fun, saftey, effiency , sustinability, , are very harmonious with each other, but laws like CAFE laws and media influencers are encouraging the market to go against what is good for everyone, and engineers at car companies are simply taking the beating and obeying this sad world order because fo their finance team. toyota real world fuel effeincy is better because bfsc chart , epa testing drives cars slowly so small engines are more effceint in that testing but in real world, over tubro bossting small engine is common in average driver behavior . i want gordon murray auto them to collborate on prius , or at leasta version of prius thats more of a handling car because preserving momentum arounds turns to a extent is less usage of materials , less emissions, than relying on decreasing battery life of regenrative braking system, and account for tire wear dust emission and brake dust (for soem brake types) too. for example, imagine prius with no trunk and had peopel sitting lower by shorter structure height, light cheap slippery areo kit protecting weight focused structure perportioning of glass etc a front wheel drive hybrid and a midrear engine rear wheel drive for better non powered momentum preservation , because battery recycling cannot fully happen and currently has been not happening much, hybrids use less materials than any other setup, that means less emissiosn too. also factor in that weight rmakes crash safety, road wear repair rates, materials usage , all emissions including tire emissions (emissions analytics website, endocrine disruptor microplastic, etc) , driving fun (light weight allows easier traction control and traction loss control and allows less powered steering which allows feeling how close to grip limit car is like mclaren/lotus elise/emira etc) . factor in corbrett report, vocational science of freedom, etc, realizations about th climate crisis issues, CAFE laws and europes equal being nonsense supporting "suv" and electric cars (almost the worst car type and the most popular among these "environmentalist") , ani nuclear nergy sentiment among these "enviromentalist", etc... situation for electic cars gets worse. we dont have a already mass scale solution , at best there maybe the "electric universe nikola tesla" theories , if you like. they could make a compact 4 seater that is liek coupe with practical rear seat (not as is usually done) ,, and they can have recycled forged carbon fiber and suspesnion that angles and heightens the car to have it lower crash absorbing stuff hit that of tall suvs . if it doesnt hit lower sitting cars well, at least it doesnt get hit in its weaker parts by the other cars stronger parts. driving fun is mostly about the challengeing game of often being near danger because everyone values not crashing, so its exciting. quickness (liek go forces) doesnt really matter. but a more commonly enjoyable driving fun is speeding more at optimal power and RPM level according to bfsc chart (similar deal also in electric power motors) on more rather downhill roads and even very temporarily beyond areodynamicly effceint speed before rather uphills roads, and steering braking minimally and smoothly... this is driving effciently, and you could be obsessed over the greater amount of pursuit of perfection that could be had compared to proper h pattern manual clutch experince, because you could get excited similarly as much about such goals as you would care about not crashing. maybe you can combine both by simulated version of such manual in effceint drivetrain that isnt too non dramatic, as a real h pattern clutch would, or maybe even better if your open minded to having high quality speakers at headrest give a sense of sound communicating how close to grip limit you are to acompany the rather non power steering sort of driving experience , or hearing the limited slip differential torque vectoring so you can feel precisely how its distributing torque and wheel rpm even when you dont have traction to feel it. ..............................all this stuff is good for everything that makes driving fun (except louder driving sounds and more danger by quicker paced driving at race track, where stuff like 0-60 mile per hour in 2 seconds isnt disappointingly boring for the costs because the fun doesnt last long enough) and everyone average crash saftey, and less usage of materials for longer lasting 1st world living standard (sustainability and chemicals toxicity) : light weight, showing the driver how close to grip imit he is at, relativly higher grip for making risky effceint driving safe , easy to own cheap reliable car, hybrids instead of electric car for weight and recyclability and materials usage economy sustainability, mid rear engine weight distribution, some non hybrids, limited slip differential (presumably a effceint one that probably disengages when not used, for less tire wear , stability when making speed on curving downhill roads for effiency) .
CAFE law and europes equal and influencers, all go agaisnt the type of car that is actually good, in favor of the opposite. car companies pretty much neer try to influence things, they just take the beating and obey. ironicly, these people pretend to care about emissions, saftey , actualy enjoying cars instead of using them overpay for cheap quality social status... much of the world is like this nowdays. corbett report, vocational science of freedom how your assets are stolen from birth, divine speech by nouman ali khan and sharif randhawa (the only attempt to see rationality in "religion" )
I thought the V6 option in Camry was too expensive. For that money bump, I would have just bought an Avalon.
@@jimthumerzs2301 well Jim. Fact only 6 percent only bought the V6 Camry shows these crying babys are meaningless keyword warriors and trolls.
Wish the Camry was a liftback. This is the one feature that pushed me into the Prius and it’s also why people love SUVs (hatch).
U have the crown signia is just a camry wagon
@@andersonrodriguez8258 and it’s on the top of my list for test drives!
Sedans will always look better than bulky odd looking suvs
@@joshuaaguilera6864 check out the 1st gen Mazda6, available in both sedan and liftback. Same overall shape, but vastly improved versatility. I don't know why all 'sedans' can't simply be liftbacks.
The only benefit on a sedan is protecting your cargo from the sun… but they include a shade for that.
Next Lexus ES will be great! 🙂
Agree
When will we see that?
They are rumored to lose the turbo 4 and the NA 6 for a hybrid 4 like this car…
@@omonteso it's ok if that happens. Es is a comfort and luxury focused vehicle instead of been sporty . This is new hybrid engine is excellent and will be even better in Lexus form
New Camry is a grand slam and home run from Toyota. excellent class leader without a question.👑👑👑. Great video from KRIK like always.
This proves honda needs to do a full turn around on the accord.
They also need to fix their garbage transmissions. Seems they just don't last always fail no matter what year! Shocking how a japanese company can't fix a transmission and make it as durable like it's rival toyota. Why is this?????
@@bparmar4898 You're confusing Honda with Nissan. Honda's CVTs are generally reliable and were considered the "best of a worst transmission" in terms of driving feel as well (though Hyundai's newer IVTs are generally programed better imho).
@@austing4321no, Honda’s automatics haven’t had the best track record. Ridgeline, the early 2000’s Odyssey’s and I’m sure many more models over the years have failed. Maybe not at the same level as the Nissan CVT, but still, not good.
Wow, just wow! You did a perfect review of both the LE and XSE. I watched both of them side by side. Even though the XSE has acoustic noise reduction glass on front windows (both have acoustic w/s), I felt that LE was significantly quieter than the XSE in your video. You had the panaramic sunroof only half open in the XSE to replicate the LE's moonroof and had the mic in the exact same position. Just done it perfectly! So much better than just a car review! I think the LE might be better value than the XSE if people prefer lower NVH.
Kirk, i went to a lexus dealer today and i was told info about the LFR, RC, IS, LC, and LS. First of all the LS is getting discontinued, the ES is getting redesigned to replace it soon. The LFR is coming out spring 2026 for the 2027 model year. Fully electric 2300HP equivalent. LC redesign soon with the same engine as the LX. RC getting face lifted soon. LX facelift 2026my. IS getting redesigned 2026MY.
LFR is electric? What happened to twin turbo V8
@@pan4632 I’m sure that the race model will be with that TTV8. I wish that the LFR had a v8 but it looks like lexus is keeping their BEV promise
That’s really sad that the LS will get discontinued. The LS is what started the brand in 1990. They could have improve the existing RWD platform and redesign the styling inside and outside and call it a day. I guess it is what it is to be discontinued.
@@joecrash1232 Fact is the full size luxury car segment has declined to point were demand is very little and there are no open minded buyers left in the class. Look at the sales of the G90. It's selling Even worse than the ls . overall Mercedes or bmw will be the only ones who remain there.
@@Mylifeislegendary982-vd3vI It’s true that full-size ultra luxury cars aren’t popular by any means, but I’m still disappointed by the potential discontinuation for the LS.
Kirk, the Camry has been using the 2.5 liter hybrid system for years, it's not something new. Just the hybrid system is slightly upgraded regarding the drivetrain for more power, better mileage. Oh yeah, the entire rest of the 2025 Camry is an upgrade for sure. I really like the classy Lexi-look of the Camry now. Not that the 2024 model was ugly, but it was getting sort of tired looking. Excellent review. Nice looking car inside and out!
Based on this car I can only imagine how great the next generation ES is going to be
The ES is NOT based on the Camry. Get it straight for once!!
@@mikeanthony706 first of all I want you to calm down second of all it is based on the same TNGK platform my friend you get it straight for once
@@jonathanratliff4780 did you Google TNGA? Do you know it is? Lol. I'm sure you meant TNGA-K, at least. FYI, Lexus TX, yes TX, the new 3 row is also based on TNGA-K. So as the ES, RX, Camry, Avalon, etc. That's just architecture and means nothing. Modular wise, the ES is Avalon based and NOT Camry. Get that straight. The ES has not been Camry based for 2 generations now.
WHERE IS THE ES 300H UPDATE! man I have been waiting for too long. I don't care what they do with it or change, all I want to see if the es300h being offered as AWD and being able to put the back seats down, that is all I am asking...
The black gloss grill would be way more appealing than the color matching grills. Also Toyota needs a lift back and a XSE wagon Version.
That’s the Crown bruh.
Toyota knows how to make a car that is reliable
The only miss on the XSE is that there is no option for memory seats which is only available on the XLE. I’m most likely going to wait a year before my next car. Trying to decide between this, the Prius and the upcoming Kia K5.
I wanted the memory settings as well but you have to get a ridiculously priced optional package and that's not worth what they charge for it. Getting a base XLE or XSE for the acoustic front side glass and nicer interior options. I have to have the Heavy Metal color which isn't available on the LE.
@rosstoolfan is this heavy metal in this review/video?
@@lionintu indeed
They should make a Camry Prime with 305 HP & 310 lb-ft of torque. That would make it an interesting performance orientes version of this new generation of the Camry
Provided it's RWD or AWD
This could probably happen in the next gen Camry after this one
They are. Saving it for the TRD though.
@@brenttitus2134 Agreed. I'd be shocked if a TRD Camry doesn't come but I just hope they understate it and not have a huge wing etc.
@@CYota91that would be hard to do… that’s a lot of stuff for that sized vehicle.
I would have a hard time to going for a hybrid. I get bit worried about the cost to maintain it, but based on the how Toyota been with Hybrids all these years. I do feel a bit comfortable to buy a Toyota hybrid now. I still prefer gas cars, but I'll take a chance on it. In Toyota We Trust.
I have purchased the Toyota hybrids for years, over a decade. Pruises, Camry, and RAV4s, all have been completely reliable. Like some other poster had stated, Once you buy a hybrid Toyota, it is really difficult to go back to a basic gas model. They are that good!
Kirk, Your review,aside from being excellent, was definitely "grin inducing :}".You covered just about everything I need to know.I'll be joining the hybrid fraternity this summer.Either a soon to be introduced Civic hybrid or Camry SE or XSE.Will be sad to part with my beloved '15 Mazda 3 6sp HB but times are a'changin'.You're one of the top 2-3 reviewers I watch regularly. Keep up good work. Rick/78/Seattle
I honestly didn’t like the color matched grille at first. But now after looking at it more I really think it works
We need a Camry vs. Accord showdown video!!
Savagegeese did it
Excellent review. Thanks for taking your time and sharing your experience.
I currently own a 2020 LE and my dream was always a V6. After seeing this I might buy the new gen eventually, those 225 hp are enough for me to have fun anyway 😅 not to mention the immediate torque the hybrid gives you
The MPG rating is just unbelievable. You cant beat it. It is sad to see the V6 go away but this is the new era and you can either cry and weep or adapt and accept.
You are right.
We can vote differently instead.
Cry cause your being forced into it. Its not a democracy anymore. Your vote doesn’t count
It looks a bit like a Prius, but if you look closely, it's completely different. I think it's a good design.
However, the rear seat space is small.
The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder hybrid uses Toyota's latest generation hybrid system to provide powerful driving performance and good fuel efficiency.
I think the car looks great but that front bumper definitely throws me off
Rip to regular gas-powered cars, but this is definitely a great step forward. Everyone needs an efficient vehicle 52mpg is nice. I prefer this over fully ellectric. Best of both worlds. And yes, prices will go down on repairs as they become more common.
Agree
If you read Consumer Reports on-line, or the Annual Auto Issue, you will find that the Toyota hybrid vehicles are even more reliable than the gas-only Toyota vehicles. Yes, hard to believe, but true none the less. Check it out at your local magazine for sale rack.
Camry size is better than Lexus IS with its small rear seats or ES which is too long like a boat because it’s right in between.
ES is barely longer than this
@@chezzyperson3339 Current ES350 is 4 inches longer and 2 inches wider than the Camry. It’s a completely different and much better car.
I predict that the next generation Lexus ES may go back to be related to this new Camry and not based on Avalon anymore.
Great Review, Which one would you recommend considering a comfort ride SE or LE. Could you do a comparison between the LE series and SE.
All Camry Great just get better like wine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this actually looks better than the new crown
I wonder which one has more interior space?
@@Civic06crown most likely but this look way better for a crown u gonna be paying 60K fully loaded
@@andersonrodriguez8258 But what is the main difference the cars seem to be identical.
I know it wouldnt happen but imagine if they threw the hybrid max power train from the crown platinum in here in a trd version. It'd actually be respectable because it'd probably do 0 to 60 in inder 5 seconds. Crown platinum is 5.3 but it weighs quite a bit more than a camry.
Why all the fuss about a 4 cilinder engine instead of 6...., the 4 cil hybrids are magnificent and very fuel efficient.... . Besides that, 6 and 8 cilinder engines are over and out... . Be glad you are still not forced to Bev's like us in the Netherlands 😢😢😢😢😢
Because people still loves V6 almost as much as four banger.
And I agree. We prefer Toyota’s hybrid > full EV🤮
All of this fuss is because of some ultra micro tiny small group of people online complain with their troll accounts. Full majority don't have any issue with hybrids.
Mazda with that hybrid inline 6 turbo engine in the (hopefully) new Mazda 6 would be slightly the better competition. Cross my fingers
If Mazda make i6 turbo sedan then it will be Lexus is or genesis g70 rival like the Stinger not Camry rival
@@Mylifeislegendary982-vd3vI I agree if the i6 is rear wheel bias AWD.
@@playronestudios7574 👍
Honestly it think it’s vapor ware at this point, plus it’d be too expensive for most people’s budgets.
@@tails300 look what happened to the stinger . It failed horrible
Sad part about how great the Camary is when the new Rav 4 gets announced it’s going to take from the Camarys sales.
I’m guessing it’s going to have the same power train
It’ll mostly take 4Runner sales, especially since the new design has people split.
@@NarasimhaDiyasenarav4 and Toyota 4runner are two completely different vehicles. The 4runner is a body on frame solid axle offroader with a massive cult following and strong resale value. The rav4 on the other hand is a fwd based crossover with no offroad capability whatsoever that is only bought by people who have no interest in automobiles. So i don’t think people are going to cross shop Toyota 4Runners with a rav4
what if they lift prius and call it a small suv lol, subaru crosstrek did that sucessfully
@@ouch9326sure they can do that, but that would in fact discontinue the Corolla cross (including hybrid)
You are probably correct, but either way, Toyota and it's consumer base wins!
A lot of people will just say this camry is just a heavy refresh but that is not true cus there's way more improvement for just "a heavy refresh"
Agree.
Very refined
It still uses the TGA platform from 2024, the same 2.5 liter hybrid set up, but with fine tuning on the hybrid system, new dashboard, new grill and tail section. I would say "strong refresh". It's difficult to improve upon perfection, just some heavy fine-tuning.
this camry is so beautiful..... the exterior of the new accord is too simple....it looks like the designers or the previous generations of camrys were hired by honda.....LOL
Best investment I made coming from two dodge Chargers , BMW and now Toyota Camry XSE gets down to like 129 mpg and only have to put in 23 and fills her up to 450
Beautiful taxi, that’s where most of us will see these.
Hey Priuses were the ultimate UBER cars for years, now the Camry is also in the fleet.
It was incorrectly stated that the rear spoiler is paint-matched.
I despise the gloss-black plastic, and I’m not a fan of the bottom portion of the steering wheel, where I often hold it.
That interior does look really good.
Best in class 👑
The 2025 Toyota Camry XSE has a luxurious interior with modern features such as a large touch screen, premium sound system, leather seats or leather seat,s and mesh made from high-quality materials. The car's exterior has a beautiful design with bright LED headlights and a sporty frontbumpe .The vehicler can also be had with light alloy wheels and a sports rear wing.
How's the JBL stereo sound system comparison to the base model?
Kirk can you drop a link to track all 2025 camry orders so we can locate one i tried going through the lexus IS excel sheet you had posted but the camry orders is not loading. Thanks!!
Hi Kirk definitely a Lexus on the cheap
Looks like a really good all-around package, but red interior in a Camry is a cheesy reach.
You dont know cheesy until you had tan beige. At least red and black goes together.
@@Anomize23 I've never bought a vehicle of any kind with tan guts. That's been a pet peeve since I was a kid. With that said, I might dislike the red in this car even more. There are several cars that can pull off a red interior, but the Camry isn't even close to one of them.
Definitely would go for the le or Se
Go for the SE over the LE.
It would be nice to have a more powerful option but honestly, 225/232 hp is plentyy. As long as it's fun to drive, pedal feel, steering feel n stuff matter way more
We have the 3.5 V6 mated to an 8-speed auto in our 2018 Highlander. We love it, don't get me wrong, but we're averaging 14.0L/100km on daycare runs. It's a good thing we don't do a ton of mileage. It definitely sounds nice and angry, but at the end of the day, it's a family car. I'd rather get stellar fuel economy (pollute less, spend less) than have an audibly pleasing engine. It's also deceivingly not-that-fast for 300+hp, but it's also moving 2,000 kg. The Camry is in the 1,650 kg region, so 230hp should be quite nice, and 4.7-5.3 L/100km would be even nicer.
With only the (eventual) Mazda6 PHEV in the way, I think a Camry SE AWD will be the firm replacement for my current 2014 Mazda3 2.0 6MT. Maybe in 2027-ish. I want to give Mazda a chance at wow'ing me. And besides, my Mazda3 has basically been a Corolla in reliability all these years, and averaging me 6.5L/100km with a fantastic amount of joy behind the wheel.
I was quite impressed with your review of the LE. The XSE is where it falls apart I think.. Trying way too hard. The crazy front end and the low profile tires really bring attention to the side profile being such a plain jellybean car with a nose kit jammed on there.
Not sure what the XSE camry was ever trying to accomplish anyway. The coolest Camry's were always the V6 models with the plain base model styling. Cars that purely anonymous but secret luxury missiles.
Yup. XLE V6
@@Mrtellitlikeitis Or even the LE V6 models with steelies/hubcaps! Or even back a bit further, when you could get V6 with the 5Spd. Looked like grandmas grocery getter, but would embarrass a lot of flashier stuff.
The Camry has been hybrid only in my country for many years. They are mostly bought for Taxi fleets.
The front grill design looks like a magnified version of the Corolla Cross Hybrid
Amazing car from Toyota.
I hope they fixed the stiff gas pedal they had on the 2018 to 2024 i had one i got rid of it it caused ankle inflamaitoin
Did anyone else think the way he went around that curve to pass the truck was dangerous?
hev muck better than v6 for real needs
Waiting for the GR (or TRD) with the HybridMax 320+ hp
People are underestimating the 4 cyclinder engines Toyota produces. The Turbo 2.5 in the Lexus RX is great.
Looks okay, I need memory seats though and it’s not available on the XSE.
That glossy black is a dust collector. Keep you a brush on hand.
glossy black interior trim needs to go in the dustbin of history. Those huge fins on the passenger side dash. Barforama.
That same color grill is kind of ugly. It kind of works with grey metallic and black, but its gonna look weird in white and lighter colors😅
Nice looking vehicle; however, those front bumper canards are just begging to meet some parking lot concrete barriers.
How do you get such a seemless transistion between cameras on the Driving portion?
I had 2019 V6, it felt like had a boot on its neck, the accord 2.0t same year with 10 speed was so much quicker with less hp on paper
Good review, thanks
Imagine having to look at that dash and exterior daily.
The v6 was actually slow for what it was and the transmission didnt help.
Years ago. Educate yourself
@@Mrtellitlikeitis actually the v6 models from years ago were faster. Maybe u should educate yourself.
The transmission is what ruined it honestly the older 6 speed was better.
Have you driven a modern V6 Camry lately??
@hillbillysportsman5818 yup. A 2023 v6 camry. I raced it too and beat it. In a 94 h22a accord.
I actually like the 12" screen better than my 100K RX450H+.... you can adjust much more on this from the looks of it.
I’m in the market for a vehicle. I’ve always heard do not get a car in its first year of a new model. Considering the ‘25 Camry basically has the same frame/build as a ‘24 Camry, does this rule of thumb go out the window?
I'd say it doesn't count in this case where the Camry is more of a refresh.
Wow awesome car for such awesome price.
How does this new Toyota Camry Hybrid compare to the new Honda Accord Hybrid?
Both Honda and Toyota are excellent choices, but the Toyota A/C units last significantly longer than the Honda units!
Looking forward to your 2025 Sienna review.

Kirk if you can and will answer this did you drive the XLe? How does it feel with the 18 inch wheels it may be a bit more compliant suspension? This is what I’m interested in I’d like to have 16 inch wheels on it at 63 years old I’m just interested in quiet and smooth and comfortable lol
I believe he drove the XSE, Johnathan.
With the 19 inch wheels.
Well, I will keep my V6 XSE. Just the sound alone makes it a better option, especially paired with the magnaflow exhaust... all everyone talks about is gas mileage etc... well, I prefer "smiles per gallon"...
Front is Elantra, rear is Accord and interior/Side are Camry. Love it though.
The new lexus IS has a awd, and rwd option which is quite nice. The new Camry XSE is like the IS300, but with actually good gas milage but without the speed, and the actually functional paddle shifters.
I just wish they kept the small rear vents from the 2018 models, they made it look so aggressive!
My mother 70yo grandma aged woman would prefer Limited Edition. You mentioned grandma LE. Those that buy LE version are younger and looking for cheapest option.
yes agreed but SE gets a sporty suspension setup. I'm a young value buyer and I'd pay more for that. The cheapest option is a car that is paid off and kept for the longest time with the lowest running costs. Camry (and most Mazdas) tick those boxes.
