thank for showing the LE model 🤝👏👏🙏💪
Of course Jason! I always like to bring all of the different trims.
They made it so much better than the old one for a very similar price
I can’t believe they were able to pull that off
@@RaitisRides agreed
I agree
Only Joe can go from the thrilling 911 turbo S to this base Camry and feel the exact same. 👌🏻
Was waiting on this one. Thanks for covering the BASE trim.
You are so very welcome!
Finally an infotaiment system that doesn't look like you bought it from radioshack
I am so glad that you are liking this one.
Toyota was smart to go all hybrid with this model. The only thing is that they might hurt their 2025 Toyota Prius sales, because this car has more power, similar MPG; and has room than that model. Also the pricing is similar or better than the Prius.
It will be interesting to see how it goes.
They weren't smart at all. Probably one of the dumbest decisions they could've made. They will lose a ton of buyers because of it.
@@phizix5023I agree, I think they should have kept at least 2 non hybrid trim levels. But thankfully a lot of dealers still have previous gen Camrys in stock that nobody bought in case customers (like myself) still want a normal Camry.
love the 16 inch wheels. my 2002 Lexus ES300 has same 16 in rims with 215/60 rubber. thick sidewalls so no risk of blowouts/rim damage and best of all you get a luxurious ride. if I was in the market for a sedan, this is the one I would get.
My 17 Camry LE has 16 in wheels and I love it. Nice smooth ride 😎
Thank you for getting a hold of multiple trims. It sometimes gets annoying when the manufacturer only gives you the top of the line models.
2025
ATAT WALKER and this is the all new strike witches 2 e
Really glad to see a base trim review! Very realistic
Since most new cars are only available in. White, silver, primer gray or black, having this color option is a nice choice.
I had a 2013 Toyota Camry LE as a daily driver, and I loved it. It was great on gas, fun to drive, great on the freeway or in town driving. It's 16 inch tires are full of air and you'll notice a smother ride as compared to thin 19 or 20 inch tires which you'll feel every rut and pothole on the road and are more expensive to replace. The 16 inch tires are inexpensive to replace, and so are the light bulbs. This car is perfect for most people who go to and from work everyday, run errands, weekend trips this Camry is your little work hose. It's a nice looking care and I'd buy one if I didn't own a Toyota Tacoma right now. You can't beat it.
Wonderful commuter. Efficient grocery getter. Decent styling. Affordable. They should sell a ton of these. ☮️💙
Agreed!
Thank you for reviewing the LE trim. Quite impressive for being the “base” model.
Thanks, Joe, for giving us a great review on the base trim.
This color blue is really stunning one of the best shades of blue I've seen
Passenger air vents in the back on an LE is amazing
Not just that, you get chargers too. You only get chargers on top end trims only.
Finally a review in a base trim. Much appreciated 👏
Amazing review Joe.
It all adds up to a really good value. Reminds me of the Toyata we use to know.
I am digging the base trim LE of the 2025 Camry.:)💯🙌🏻💯🙌🏻
I would get this LE with the convenience package for sure! I want to test drive it soon.
Thank you for looking at the base model!
I love how you did the base trim.
❤ Thank you, Joe and Stephen!❤️
Very detailed review!
I would go for the LE, I am past all the show and glitz and want value and ride comfort and mpg.
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
More like this! Awesome.
I love selling this brand! Keeps improving!
I appreciate it when reviewers show off the volume sellers of cars, and not just the higher trims.
I think this hurts Honda with the Accord for sure. Honda basically admitted hybrid is a premium with the Accord. Not to mention some of the premiums of the Touring for that car are subscription-based, which is greedy bullshit, if you ask me.
Bravo, Toyota.
I’m glad you liked this one and you hit the hit the nail on the head!
Great move by Toyota to offer 2025 Camry in hybrid form only. Toyota is killing it by offering hybrids in every segment. They are way above everyone else with their robust hybrid supply chain.
This is a nice replacement for my Black Walnut 2004 Camry LE.
Seems like a very good price! I don't even need the sunroof!
I agree with you!
The sunroof is a $800 option, so if you don’t need it don’t get it and save some $
@@DragonOverdosed My skyview leaked in my current car, so I don't want any glass or sunroof in my next!
@@joffyjazz yeah save the money and get a normal roof, I’m not a big fan of moonroofs either.
Love the color Ocean Green.. wheels do look funky, love the hybrid and AWD!!!
Solid base trim. Just waiting for the XLE now!
You know I have it coming!
That color POPS!
I am glad that you are liking it David!
@@RaitisRides Your comment about the color and the wheels was spot on, Joe. The car can look like it belongs to a fuddy duddy. lol
Awesome base level Camry and lots of bang for the buck. Joe - One thing I noticed during the video is when cornering it seemed the steering wheel turn was excessive, what did you feel on the steering?
It actually wasn’t as bad. The camera is on a side angle setup.
I noticed this in the video also. The SE drive he drove, the wheel seemed to need way less of a turn. Not sure if it is just the SE vs LE difference, or if the smaller wheels on the LE are also a factor.
Beautiful color! I'm so sick of grey, black, and white cars. It's a great car for a great price. I do, though, hate the cloth on the dashboard. It brings back memories of a Chevy Malibu I rented about 6 years ago. It also had cloth on the dashboard and it just looked weird.
I'd buy this Camry in a heartbeat. So much better than an electric junk car.
Yes of course Joe & I might buy this vehicle.
16:50 US129 tail of the dragon, 318 curves in 11 miles. In my younger days, rode it a couple times on suzuki bandit. In my older days, i think i'd like the camry on the tail of the dragon in florida. 11 curves in 318 miles. :)
That is so fantastic!
Those wheels are so perfect for ride share tho. Cheap to replace more fuel efficient.. bigger sidewall. I'm gonna get this one.. If I can find one without ridiculous markups. I'm not getting the base model only to pay se prices
Can’t go wrong with a Camry 👍. Great value with great MPG’s !!!
I remember paying a bit over $17,000 for a Camry LE back in 1993.
2025 version has a lot going for it.
I love when you do base model cars
Nice color
When my 2015 bites the dust this will be top of list. The mileage is insane my non-hybrid 2015 gets half at 25MPG!
Wonder if Toyota will make a “sporty performance” trim for this generation since last generation had the TRD trim. We’ve yet to see if they’ll do something like that for this generation
Ima drive my 22 camry trd until.the wheels fall
at this point it might be the only midsize sedan under 30k
I am unequivocally positively an entry-level base model driver
Nothing wrong with that.
Nice review and love the Ocean Gem....I will go with either the White or Ocean Gem, whichever is available first. The first shipment here in Houston, they pretty sold out. Good driving in the 94 by the way (at least it looked like the 94 to me....I used to live in San Diego).
My 17 Prius eco gets 58-61 mpg I don’t know if I want to take a hit on mpg. But this is a very nice Camry and added power n looks handling etc.. over my slow boring Prius.
Got mine coming in next month! I added heated seats for $700. The LE is the best Value 100%. That MPG is ridiculous.
If only every manufacturer did what the Camry LE Hybrid was doing.... Yeah it basically blows everything else out of the water for the price.
Hahha he-man and sheera. You took me back to the teddy ruxpin days lol
Front view Celica. Side view Altima. MPG is crazy good.
Beatiful color❤❤
My current ride is a 2017 Camry LE. I didn't care much for the changes for '18, but this refresh for '25 looks good. Will have to check it out in person! RogerC 5/11/24
I agree Roger! It is a must see!
Love the color ! So much comes with the base. I’m guessing it doesn’t have remote start though ?
I like that Toyota understands buyers ae looking for value before spending their hard-earned money.
This is an excellent point!
@@RaitisRides This is why I believe the 2025 Camry is going to be a HUGE success. Heck, I'm even considering buying one.
Wow, Joe great color good price, and will probably last forever if maintained properly.!!!.😊😊😊.
would you say the center console armrest is similar to the toyota crown? when i test drove the crown the right hand would rest so perfectly on the center console armrest.
Yes it is!
camry or sonata hybrid new facelift which one you pick in terms of comfort and handling?
Is the XLE much more comfortable and quieter than the le trim?
I had a Eagle Vision TSi in that exact shade of Metallic Teal. I always loved that color.
As to this Camry, it is one of the best bang for buck cars in the marketplace for a family of 4 hauler.
Man I loved the Eagle Talon!
@@RaitisRides I also had a Talon TSi. The vision was my wife's ride. You're 100% right. The AWD Eagle Talon/Mitsu Eclipse were TERRIFIC cars. Back then, l bought the Talon because l felt it was absolutely the best value on the market.
Only neg were the seats. The leather, though real, wasn't very pliable. Therefore on long trips (5+ hours), l'd get kinda sore. But it was quick, handled great, was affordable and decent on gas. My Talon was red on dove grey.
Lovely colour 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤. Gud Morning Joe.
Good Morning Sonal! I am so glad that you like that color.
@@RaitisRides Dark green is my favorite. Dark leafy green..
Great review!!! You said the magic words...NATURALLY aspirated engine. Some reviewers don't mention that. Turbo is a deal killer....I want nothing to do with that stuff. The entire review is excellent!!
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Exactly what you want for daily driving. Simple, lots of room and great milage! 😍😍
The mileage is insane!
Awesome color
It’s all new for 2025!
@@RaitisRides facts
I am buying mine today after doing a test drive. What a nice car.! Quite when driving . The car handles very well but may be a little floaty for some but I really wanted the smooth drive of the LE suspension and 16 inch wheels. This is a better than the Honda Accord (hybrid) Sport having driving both.
Quite what? Quiet?
32k great, Try to go buy one it's going to be a 5k up charge. This is actually worth the money. Seems pretty quick, quiet and comfortable. Wait one year and somebody will be selling their Camry Wheels because they put aftermarkets on them and buy some new Wheels.
Just bought a 2025 LE, out the door, for less than 32k.
Nope, no markup nor add ons here, regardless of trim. Market is not what is used to be a couple years back. Cash is king now.
I went and test drove an SE today. It was so nice
@@Mark-sc9iu good to hear
@@jml9550 they have a hit on their hands they don't know yet.
More tire and less rim. Now you can jam down some fire roads
This is less than $30K? seems like superb value
its gonna stay $30K for 10 more years too
I can smell the markups from here….
I think you are so very right!
@@coreydavis8707fingers crossed
The Toyota here in Louisiana quoted me 38k and that’s not including tax titles tag and other fees
The best Camry in my life ❤
Smaller wheels are better for MPGs and road noise so I have 0 issues with the wheels. The paint color is beautiful!
That color takes me back to the early 2000s Camrys but with a modern twist
No arguing against the value, but I'm not sure why Toyota refused to take a chance on the design considering they had an opportunity to do something fresh for a totally new model. Instead, it just looks like a "hammerhead grille" reskin of the previous gen. If they carried over the modern look of the Prius and Crown to this, they'd have a real standout.
How would you say the suspension feels? Super soft or rough and could be better??
It is really done right! Not rough or soft.
MSRP might be sub $30k, but by the time the Dealership gets done with you it it be far north of $30k.
I wonder how you concluded that the mpg for the new Camry is higher than that of its previous generation? Actually, it's the reverse (LE camry 2024 FWD hybrid combined mpg = **52** VS. LE camry 2025 FWD hybrid combined mpg = **51**).
toyota really did hit a homerun with this year's camry, however looking at ones at dealerships within the last week.. the models i've seen are option'd and 'upcharged' over 40k
Can you please comment on the thin oil Toyota is using now. Will 0W-08 affect the longevity of this engine?
The build tolerances are so tight I don't think there will be an issue!
How soon before the all new Camry TRD comes out?
It looks a lot better than the previous ones.
I totally agree with you!
Does the AWD have a griip like a WRX ?
Looking to buy one as a second car with the my model y. I currently have a 2003 Camry le, has 313k miles on it. Might be time to go to the 2025 but for some reason my Camry 2003 looks bigger on the inside
I wouldn't buy first year. Wait another couple more years. You have a great car
16" tires give a smooth ride.
And better MPG. And way cheaper to replace. And less NV&H.
This is in first place for what car I'd get when my 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer eventually kicks the bucket.
Yeah, just wait until they are one year old, go get a used one for 3-4k less, interest rates should be lower in another 12-18 months.
why not buy a 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage? Mirage also gets 50 mpg in real world fuel economy, 10 year warranty, and 2 years of maintenance included!!!
@@sachinnair91 nice try Mitsubishi
How about a fleet applications police and taxi packages
man it's going to sell out like hot cake!
Can’t go wrong with a Camry
You nailed it!
That's unbeatable compared to all competition. Period.
For a Camry thats pretty cool.
Thays actually a nice color not gonna lie
It pops in the San Diego sun!
with a NA engine and a cvt transmission, what's the purpose of the electric motor? why is that? what does an electric motor do then for the engine?
It give it more power and torque. In city driving it allow the engine to turn off to conserve fuel
Can you make a review for SE 2025 model. I hate this screen and wheel rim
You skipped rather quickly , when you said there is a spare. is it a spare tire or that Bicycle tire??????
Ocean Gem is beautiful and yes the Camry LE as the entry level model gives you great value and solid reliability. Thank you Steven for the camera work and Joe for the great review!
Yeah an LE!!!!
I’m glad that you are excited!
Respect, lowest trim you get a sunroof and turn signal on mirrors
Joe I love how you review all the trim
That means the world!
