Great review! I have a 19 SE nightshade and love it. I do agree with you the infotainment system is a pain, I’m also not to impressed with the transmission either there’s a lag especially in first gear. I will say coming from a ‘17 Camry into a ‘19 is a big improvement and Toyota really stepped it up!
I have a 2019 Camry SE. The safety features alone are well worth it. It has more than enough power and coasts at 100mph very easily and very smoothly. It doesn’t seem to lack anything as far as power, and the standard body kit looks super nice and sporty especially with the nice rims that come standard also. The gas mileage is absolutely amazing. If I was going to get a v6 because of I’d power I’d just get a sports car.
Purchased my ‘19 SE going on 3 years ago. Love it. As long as you take care of the maintenance, they’ll go forever. I’ll get something else for my growing family in the future, but I’m still keeping the Camry.
I bought a 2019 SE a year ago and it is the right configuration for us. The gas mileage is incredible and the 2.4L 4 is strong enough 90% of the time. The other 10% isn't awful so economy vs. performance is close to the best of both worlds. Sure a V6 is nice but 90% of the time I don't miss that power but would miss the gas mileage. Great looking car inside and out. Reliable, roomy, comfortable and at $26,000 what else can you ask for.
Finally a reviewer who keeps it real about the base engine . You want power go for the V6. Unlike those straight pipe guys who were so impressed with the power . Your not buying these cars for races. Great review!
My girlfriend drives the previous model SE trim. I can't really complain about the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine. It runs smooth , quit and not slow . You still have over 200 hp so I assume the new one is even better . I know the V6 is the real deal .
I have had a blue Canadian model SE that was a former Toyota rental for a while before it made its way to Alaska, I picked it up as my daily for the Army….Had it for a year now and love it, sitting at 38,000 miles. Has a few quirky things that the North American counterparts don’t and love it for that…. Don’t see too many on the road like it….
Really glad that I came across your channel! You give tremendous information. A lot of reviewers play unnecessary music, don't touch on ample material, and miss what the viewers may. want to see. Can't wait to go through other videos you have, you have a new subscriber!
I just picked up one of these. I enjoyed your review, but I think the car has more than adequate power for what it is. When driving on the interstate, merging into traffic, etc., I don’t feel any lack of confidence. My four-cylinder makes me feel like this car is punching above its weight. And the gas mileage is amazing
Good review bro I have a 2019 Camry SE and I've watched just about every video I can think of pertaining to this vehicle. You're the only person to point out the arm rest rubbing up against the passenger chair and yes it can be very very very annoying Lol. You can adjust the chair into a better position to limit the noise but good luck getting it into that perfect position it'll take forever Lol. Also I'm 6'1 and you can position the passenger seat up and down. There's a handle to adjust so you can lower the seat for more head room and trust me there's plenty of head room in the passenger seat where your head won't be touching the top of the roof. I also agree with you on the sluggish transmission but not a big deal if you're cruising around town in the city with the 4 cylinder engine. On the highway you really have to press that gas pedal to get going but once you do you'll get enough power to drive around with ease. Overall it's a good car but disappointed that heated mirrors doesn't come standard on all models SMH I mean it's 2019-2020 already c'mon Toyota my 2012 Camry SE came standard with heated mirrors Lol.
Thanks, Shawn. Really appreciate the comment. I agree about the power. It’s interesting how companies decide what to make standard at different trim levels (heated mirrors) to create value or save costs. Even the “value packed” Camry isn’t safe from cost cutting.
I think that front passenger seat isn't installed right which explains why you can't adjust seat height and why the center console handrest rubs against it. My 2019 Camry SE center console handrest clears the seat easily all the up and down. And the manual hand lever adjusts the seat up and down. Yeah something going on with that seat.
Got an se and it's aight, hate how soft the suspension is, wish I could tune the audio for more bass/treble etc. but the mpg is nice, also mines blacked out so it could also be a nightshade, not 100 percent on that part though
I enjoy the performance of my 1997 Lexus ES300, and even though it has a V-6, its 0-60 MPH time -- when NEW -- was also 7.9 seconds. So the 2.5 L Toyota has performance comparable to 23 year-old Lexus 3L V-6. That's probably due to lower curb weight and the 8-speed automatic transmission. Typical Toyota, you just have to get the RPMs above 3000 and it does fine.
I don’t get why people give a 4 cyl. complaint on speed it’s literally a 4 cyl. Don’t get a lower trim and expect higher trim performance. This is like the third video I’ve seen where the person said the same thing💀
Lovely. I appreciate your point. The engine is sluggish but it’s fuel efficient. In my case, I’m comparing it to other vehicles base engines or even the v-6. It’s a comparison based on a cost v. benefit of one choice over another.
I like my 2019 Camry SE to be honest. I would like the two tone with the XSE but I am satisfied with my SE. I am not sure why you can't lower the passenger seat. Mine lowers manually with a level on the side of the seat.
You missed the main annoyance, that's the angle of the headrests! They're set at a dangerous angle forward. Ergonomically, the headrests should be parallel with the front of the seat backs. The stupid angled headrests, that so many cars have, force people to crane their heads forward and causing major strain on their necks. They should be illegal and there should be a recall and replacement for any headrests that are made like that.
Toyota is the best but the latest ones don't have cd players I know some of u say old person but there is some music s don't rely on Spotify apps I wish they add cd players on it somehow no cars matching with toyota cars
I have a 2019 SE in Supersonic Red with the upgrade package. What brand tires in your opinion are best for this car? Im not crazy about the Bridgestones that they have on here.
Thanks for the message, Keon. It depends on your budget and probably where you live. The softer the tire the better it drives and the fewer miles before it’s worn out. Summer tires make a huge difference to me but really suck in the cold, wet, and snow.
My 2004 V6 accord sedan did 7 seconds, had 40 more horsepower and wasn’t nearly as fuel efficient at about 16 mpg around town. So the fact that this has less horsepower a smaller engine and almost doubles the MPG of my old car is quite an achievement. Currently looking for a not overpriced SE from this year myself.
@@TheJoshThatPlaysDrums I actually bought one as well not long after looking this up I’ve been very happy with it. Comfortable ,smooth (not quite as smooth as the le/xle) and great mpg.
I just traded in my 2020 Infiniti Q50 for a 2019 Camry. With gas going up I considered getting a hyrbrid but just decided to get a 4cyl. Plus my insurance is super high since I've moved to Dallas. So my car note and my insurance will be lower so I'll have to suck up not having the power of a V6.
The 2019 and newer does, as do most 19 and newer Toyotas... I did experience some lag yes which is tough when you’re in busy streets or have several turns in a short distance.
There’s hidden gems at some Toyota dealers , just got a 2019 se with 50k miles for 21,000$ !!! It’s a super steal you can definitely find something like that if not maybe get luckier than me . Hope for the best man
@@jeanjanky3398 trying lol. Also Honda Civic 19 or 20. I've seen those are more reasonably priced at local dealerships right now(24k for 23k miles or 21k for 37kmiles). If Yotas are still inflated, that's a choice I'm okay with to. I put miles miles on so I'm trying for 20-28k if not lower. I hope you're enjoying it 😏.
+Chanthrea ou hey, Chanthrea, thanks for the comment. Yes, I believe it does, however, my understanding is after the trial period it has a monthly fee.
I love my android ! I got a Samsung galaxy note 9 i will not change to iphone just to use the toyota future lol ill use my phone for gps and us a Aux cord to play music from my phone on the system . I do love the back up camera ♡ im geting a 2019 toyota camry se and mine doesn't squeak yet so ill definitely remember not to rest my arm as much on there lol plus i have a heavy foot so i dont mine the slow take off hahaha 😅

Jonathan, thanks for the comment. Toyota has been crushing it lately with their redesigns.
Jonathan Pierce question , the seat in 2019 is more comfortable compared with the 2017 model ?
Look up idrive it will fix that lag issue
❤️👍
Was your transmission issue fixed?

Any issues yet?
Is it a 2.4 or 2.5 4 cyl?

We just bought a 2019 Camry like yours, immaculate, with 39K miles.The best MPG we have seen yet is 33. Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks
Thanks, Honsell. Good luck with your Camry!
Any issues yet?
@@NorCalNiner707 no issues. Best car we’ve ever had. But it’s a machine and we all know machines break. We’re very happy with our Camray.
How much did you pay for that one? Just wondering

Thanks, Marcus. It is smooth and quiet.
I love my se. The xse had stuff I would never use on it

You can buy a pedal commander and it'll do away with the acceleration delay. It feels sluggish because of the electronic crap between the pedal and tb
Good afternoon , is that car is worth it overall for a first car buyer , or you'll recommend the V6 instead?
I have 2019 SE. the most thing bother me is the wind noise from the driver side ( specially on the Highway)
I just got one and i have that same problem. I thought something was wrong with it lol

I thought the passenger seat was height adjustable.
Hey Jim. It’s possible I missed the adjustment, but I’m pretty sure it was not adjustable on this trim level.
@@CarMikeReviews it is, you can raise and lower the seat on the se.
Does it has parking sensor, sir ?

Quickest I seen was 7.5 from motor trend I think that’s very fair for what it is. And more than enough power for most people

Idk how some cars still have actual keys for the ignition. Like wtf step it up to push to start intelligent keys
I like the key, not everyone wants that.
i was the 420th follower. don’t fuck this up guys. these are the big leagues!!
Hi Mike, I heard that Camry engines have the tendency to leak or burn oil. What do you know about? By the way, great review! Thanks
I somewhat wish I got the xse awd v6 instead. It’s quicker and faster and handles better but it’s much more expensive
I just traded in my 2020 Infiniti Q50 for a 2019 Camry. With gas going up I considered getting a hyrbrid but just decided to get a 4cyl. Plus my insurance is super high since I've moved to Dallas. So my car note and my insurance will be lower so I'll have to suck up not having the power of a V6.
Android does suck that’s why Toyota doesn’t want anything to do with android😂😂
How about following the laws of the road and using turn signals at least and coming to a complete stop?
Can you auto start it from the remote
How do I change the Celsius to Fahrenheit?! Help!!
Great review thanks! Does it have the car play, and if so how does google maps hold up😬. I hear it lags?
And I’m subbed by the way, great potential 👍
The 2019 and newer does, as do most 19 and newer Toyotas... I did experience some lag yes which is tough when you’re in busy streets or have several turns in a short distance.
My 2016 Camry SE has a firm ride, which hurts the ride a little!
Looking at a black 19 camry se as my next purchase. These new designs just look sexy. The market is definitely inflated some rn for cars.

Passenger seat back was sitting too straight up. That’s why it was rubbing and your head was hitting.
Nice review thanks
I have a Toyota camry se and would buy another one
Great review. Thanks.
Thank you.
This Car Is A Very Popular Car.
I love my ⛽️ MPGs on my Camry. Don’t like that it doesn’t include led taillights unless you get the XSE or XLE trim.
is this car push start?
Toyota please make the V-6 available with the SE trim level, PLEASE!!🙏🏾🔥🇺🇸
Toyota, the man is asking nicely! ...make it happen.
@@CarMikeReviews They did, if you can find a 2020 TRD for $31,000!

Question , u think the new Camry is comfortable for tall people , 6.3 ?
I thought it was roomy enough, but SUVs are more comfortable IMO. I’m 6’2.
Car Mike yes u right , I have Nissan Titan v8 and I need 2car to save some gas
Nice Review.
Does it have android auto?
Nope
I dont like that its not set up for Android...
It will be better if can add capture for each review in the video, more easier to audience
Thanks
Does it have push to start or keyless entry?
This Car Is A Car Easy To Drive.
The seat pumps down
He can take me on a spin any day
Why no android, apple suck and that is deal breaker.
Watched first 4 min and fast forward--all I saw was your face in the driver seat. Please more of the car and less of you.
Thanks for the feedback.
