2025 Toyota Camry Review | Toyota's Finally Gone All-In On High MPG Hybrid Tech!

- The 2025 Camry is poised to be the best selling hybrid in America, and thanks to every model getting at least 44 MPG combined, it's also going to be one of the easiest on your wallet. Yep, for 2025 Toyota has not only ditched the optional V6 engine, but they also killed off the 2.5L non-hybrid base model. Unfortunately that does mean that the base price is up nearly $2,000, but hybrid vs hybrid the 2025 is actually a hair less expensive than before. You can also get AWD on your hybrid Camry now, and it'll be available on every trim including the base models. The price bump may offend some folks, but the payback timeline vs the old base engine should be under 3 years for most folks AND the hybrid should have lower long term repair and maintenance costs.

The downside of the Camry is that it will never break and you'll never have an excuse to buy a new car.
Lol. They all break over time but yea… they can go for a long while
i am in such a situation with a 2016 Sienna Xle, desiring a new one but the current one is just working so well.
Hybrids are the most unreliable cars since the had two diferent propulsion trais. Too comples and too expensive proposition. Simplicity and effriciency is what the consimer needs. Modern ev last for 300,000 miles of double the mileage of any ICE car. New ev with LFP batteries las 500,000+ miles. CATL noew has a 1,000,000 battery , and has 27% more energy density and is 20% cheaper to manufacture. An ev with that bat willlast 6.33X what any ICE last.
@@EnriqueThiele Source: Trust me bro
Although gone old golden days of 90s Camry but still reliable car when comparing with other manufacturers.
Best car review I’ve ever seen - you talked NONSTOP for 30 minutes without an ounce of filler, cliches, stammering, or BS. Just pure information
I love the fact he's not showy. No annoying rock music, no focus on track times, just straight-up info that normal people want to know!
Totally great presentation
When a press embargo lifts on a new hybrid Alex is the first to watch of the many videos that come out.
He really knows his stuff on the many different hybrid drivetrains that are out there.
Dude is the definition of professional
What are you owning now since you sold the awesome EV6?

If only Toyota made a Camry wagon variant.
Crown Signia is as close as we are going to get
I'm hoping that the Crown lift back will be sold in the U.S.
Lift back would be awesome to load a bicycle or a dog
Yes, 3 people would want the wagon in the USA
Actually, we love wagons in the U.S.
SUVs, minivans, sport wagons, etc.
If they could squeeze in a third row for smaller people that would be interesting. Saw something like this in Taiwan (Camry wagon with 3rd row)
I find the integration of the screen far preferable to the upright tablet view that always looks like an afterthought. Great review as usual, Alex and many thanks !
I bought a new 2020 Camry LE hybrid because of the Lithium battery in that model. It was ranted at 50-51 mpg. I set the mpg calculator when I left the dealership and never reset it. I have driven it 75,000 miles w/ 90% of those miles in the highway. The overall for 75k is 48.1! I am totally delighted. Next car will be another one only with AWD.
I have a 2020 with $75000 miles. I’ve been looking to upgrade to a Lexus but it’s very hard to let the Camry go. It works well, runs cheap, and it’s paid off. I’m considering buying one as a second vehicle later on. Vary hard to let it go.
The Prius remains relevant due to its significantly tighter turning radius and compact size, which are ideal for city parking.
a better city car for tighter spaces. they need to ensure prius pricing doesnt eclipse the Camry though too
AWD, 44+ mpg, while being 0.5 secs slower than the old V6 is very impressive. No other midsize sedan offers that combo and I absolutely love this doesn’t, much better than the otherwise boring accord if you ask me
Meaningful improvements in the new Camry are more than enough to ensure its continued leadership in a dwindling segment.
tesla，15kwh per 100km，4s 0-60，and you can get it cheaper than top trim camry with rebate.
@@DVinCanada If you regularly use the back seat the Camry has significantly better accommodations.
@@stephenj4937 slightly better maybe
And this is an exciting car? I’d much rather take the Accord over this over styled Camry with Toyotas buzzy hybrid system.
This is definitely a home run with the hammerhead lights and sleek interior. And it’s superior than anything else on the market in an engineering perspective.
I'll be honest I don't watch your videos all the time, but I will say your delivery of the information always comes across as honest, objective, and genuine.
Except for the zero emmisions crap they're trying to push, which will never happen. But the news will tell otherwise.
This Camry is going to blast the market.
Definitely! It looks so cool inside and out. And as a value proposition…ah! Man it’s good value for money!
Accord vs Camry is one of the fiercest rivalries in the industry. Been going for decades
Depends on $$$$
And since Toyota and Subaru are together hopefully this Camry design will carry into the legacy and BRZ....
@@Mr.Helper. and availability
Dare I say this thing is probably the best sedan ever created all things considered. This thing is going to last FOREVER and save you SO MUCH on gas.
You’re right about the “FOREVER”. I still see old Camrys and intend to see this one on the roads 20yrs from now.😂
I certainly agree! I'm also impressed that Toyota raised prices very minimally when compared to 2024 Camry Hybrid prices! Great job Toyota!
Then EVs are going to last forever^2
@@sudeeptaghosh 1kW is drastically different from 100kW in a vehicle
So good almost makes the current Prius obsolete
Thank you so much for showing the not top of the line model! Super comprehensive review all around!
Toyota did a good job on the new camry. I like it, and the hybrid system is really good for saving gas.
kudos for showing the base LE model interior. and the detailed reviews.
It’s nice that Toyota brought that to a press event, I remember GM did too with the new Trax, more automakers should do that.
CONGRATULATIONS on reaching 500k subs!
Toyota...the only car manufacturer who "has their shit together!"
Honda is a (somewhat close) second.
The secret is they pay their suppliers enough that they can make reliable parts and some profit.
Facts
@@dannybryant6873 Honda does not at all. I've had it with my Accord and I'm trading it on a Camry.
I won't buy turbos, GDI without port injection, or sleazy mechanical CVTs.
This excludes a lot of Hondas for me.
I do remember that my 98 Accord handled way better than my 2012 Camry XLE hybrid. Best handling vehicle I have ever owned (including my 2013 Mustang).
Ha. They're gonna be first big legacy to fail.
I like this channel basically because whenever you compare sedans you actually include the Subaru Legacy, i feel like many channels forget the legacy is a competitor to the Camry, accord, etc
I mean to be fair the general public has forgotten that the Legacy even exists so there’s that.
@@bruddahmanmatt As someone who owns one, I think even Subaru forgets the Legacy exists.
Alex likes Subarus. But the for the rest of us? Subaru is the Outback, the Forester, the Crosstrek and the Ascent. And a quick check of the two Subaru dealerships within 30 miles of me shows only 4 Legacy sedans on their lots-- combined.
Probably because the Legacy is a forgettable car, let’s be honest. It’s not good.
That teal color is sweet
I love that color too!! Tempted to trade in my 2023 Camry Hybrid XLE but it is loaded to the max and I rather enjoy the extra PIO!!
Kudos for the trunk shot Alex lol
8:43
Old school Alex in the trunk! Glad you brought it back.
This makes me excited about the new ES.
Same here. To replace my 17 ES350, she just hits a high 43k miles this month. 😊. Just bought my wife a 2024 Lexus NX350h, loves it.
I've been looking forward to the new ES as well
This car will easily run for 500.000 miles with regular maintenance and not accounting for possible strut/shock replacements... Awesome job, Toyota! I'm sure we'll be seeing these on our roads for the next 15+ years.
All Fluids, brakes and maybe rust but yeah.
Toyota, has shown to be a smart automaker. They didn't go all the way electric, but stuck with a reliable hybrid system that they've already perfectioned.
I've always owned Toyota vehicles only, including a Prius 2015. Best,reliable,low maintenance cars ever
I just bought a 2024 Camry Hybrid XSE. I like this refresh. Part of me wishes I had waited a month or two, but I am not losing anything functionally since I just use CarPlay all the time anyway for infotainment. But being 6’3 with mobility and flexibility issues, the Camry is easily the most comfortable and also fuel efficient car out there. A far better choice than a SUV honestly. This could bring back the old school family car. In a few years when it comes time to replace the battery pack post-warranty, I was already planning to go Lithium-ion from a third party anyway
you should wait summer because all new cars redesign come out during those time
There's such an odd fear of replacing the battery pack. In fact, all the hybrid components will generally outlast the engine in any Toyota Motor Corporation hybrid vehicle. In other words, you'll be replacing the old-school internal combustion engine at 200k before touching the battery pack.
Order the new model and trade in your old one 🕺
@@Mamo878Toyota and Honda ice motors routinely run past 300K
@@James-hm9on
Not all of the ones in the hybrids do though.
That's a fact.
Went to the build page on Toyota's website and there is a Red and black color option with red interiors. Damn that thing looks so hot.
RIP Accord.
Honda dealerships are already discounting new Accords just to sell them. They'll have to discount them more now, poor things!
I'll stand corrected, but I believe those color options are for the XSE trim only (I currently own a 22 XSE with Red Interior).
It's going to appeal to so many people
@@josephewing80 Yes, two-tone paint schemes are only available on the XSE. But the price premium for the XSE trim ($34.6k) is not that bad in my opinion (+$1.2k over XLE, +$3.9k over SE, and +$6.2k over LE), although a two-tone paint scheme is an extra added cost (+$500 for blue, +$925 for red, white, or black).
Better deal on a accord for the rest of us, this Camry is basically just copying Honda
TIL, "silly" is a very polite way of calling out BS. Thank you, Alex.
It is BS that should be called out, they put this “beyond zero” branding on a Sequoia that gets 18 MPG, that’s borderline greenwashing at that point.
@@pine111 bs about stupid "zero emissions"
Oh on the Beyond Zero crap? Agreed
This channel is where the info is delivered quickly and efficiently. Alex knows his stuff. This Camry is a winner for many shoppers.
I’d definitely get a Camry hybrid over the Prius
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Same here
You can put a bike in a Prius can’t do that in the Camry.
@@douglaskaye1395 the old one for sure, can you do it in the new one?
A Camry wagon would take the line to another level and beat out Subarus Outback. Let’s go Toyota!
In Japan, they sell what amounts to the outgoing model as a wagon. It looks GREAT!
Love that idea. AWD with a small lift so you could take to the mountains and navigate the lousy parking lots. Total winner
they have the crown signia
Toyota ! Take my money ! And give me a wagon AWD. One can only dream. Wagons are a North American taboo :(
Toyota Subaru are going to sell Subaru outback with label under Crown. It's a Subaru outback touring wagon. 25 model
2:48 glad to see some Toyota designers still remember rear turn signals are supposed to be separate and amber. I'm concerned with the trend of so many new Toyotas such as the Tundra, Tacoma, Sequoia, Grand Highlander and Crown sedan and crossover inexplicably without proper separate rear amber turn signals. The lack of consistency is baffling.
Imagine this as a wagon.
🤩🤩🤩🤩
Love your reviews. Nice touch reviewing from inside the trunk!❤️
With that efficient of a powertrain they could bring back their small trucks. I told the way fuel economy standards are calculated made small trucks impractical because they would require a high fuel efficiency for their small wheelbase. I miss the small trucks.
GM could have had an awesome plugin hybrid pickup using the Volt system. Years ago.
They dropped the ball.
Again.
You like the ones from Honda, Hyundai, Ford & Chevy, oh and Nissan?
I personally don't need (or want) a truck.
But I like the Ridgeline because it is a Honda (fuel economy would be crummy). My "truck" since 2006 is an Odyssey which has the same 3.5 V6.
And I like the Maverick because it is a hybrid (but uncertain about the Made in Mexico reliability)
No Korean vehicles for me.
Toyota Sienna hybrid is my all around, 40mpg 7seat captain chairs, large than pickup trunk space I load it with playwood, sheetrock, bricks, big led tvs, I tow my boat etc etc.
I also have F150 at the end I'm using it only when I can't use the Sienna and for my 30' RV
It’s been a decade since the Camry wasn’t ugly. FINALLY SHES BACK! Mother is back!
How committed is Alex to his reviews... 8:42 Thank you for going there!
Good review Alex. You always provide one of the best reviews over all of them. I love the close-ups on the cloth of the seats and dash to show the details. No other reviewer does that. Thumbs up.
One thing about the black area bottom of bumper is that any scratches easily are covered up since it’s black.
Like the exterior and interior changes/improvements. Great review.
Thanks for a nice review. Just a note. All Camry Hybrids have used the Li-Ion battery since 2020. The LE trim model was the first and has had it since 2018. I think the LE was the real world test mule due to it's lower volume sales. I have a 2018 LE Hybrid Camry and bought that trim level specifically for the Li-Ion battery. It has been great.
What was your mixed driving average mpg?
I've heard the LE Hybrid was good for just over 50 mpg.
Was the more expensive lithium ion battery very reliable for you?
@@berniemadoff7837 My mixed average was 48 mpg with the original tires that came on the car. (Firestone FT140's) But most of my driving was my commute to work which was about 90% interstate at 70+ mph which is not ideal for a hybrid. They do better in city driving and lower speeds. When we would spend the day going for a drive to the coast which was on highways with speeds of 55 mph and going through small towns, our average for the day would be 55-56 mpg. But then I replaced the tires with a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2's and my average commute mileage plummeted to 40 mpg. Our trips to the coast down to 50 mpg. Now, after putting 73,000 miles on the tires (with 6/10th's tread left) my mileage has restored to 46 mpg mixed and 54 mpg on our coastal days. That is due of course to the shallower tread depth causing less rolling resistance. I am retired now, but still most of our driving is on the interstate since we live in a very small town and everything is a distance away on the interstate. Tires make a big difference with these cars. Most of the improvement in mpg between the LE verses the SE, XSE, and XLE is because of the smaller tires on the LE. The Li-Ion battery is only responsible for maybe 1-2 mpg due to it's increased energy density. When the SE, XSE, and XLE all got the Li-Ion battery in 2020, their EPA numbers only improved by 1 or 2 mpg. But I didn't go for the Li-Ion battery in 2018 strictly for improved fuel economy. I had to have it for it's improved longevity prospect. It was LE or nothing for me due to the battery. My life experience with Li-Ion verses NiMH in cameras (photography hobby), phones, and especially power tools proved to me that Li-Ion batteries far outlive their NiMH siblings. So I believe that if they can get 12-15 years out of a NiMH battery in a hybrid Toyota, there's no reason why a Li-Ion battery shouldn't go 20-25 years in my opinion. Time will tell. But I keep my Toyota's "till the wheels fall off," so I hope to report back when it's 20 years old that it is still on it's original battery.
@rryz1918 I don't know about anywhere else in the world. But in the US, all Camry Hybrids 2020+ have Li-Ion traction batteries. Go find a 2020+ Camry Hybrid, look under the front edge of the hood and it will say it has a Li-Ion battery. This information has also been available on Toyota's website since 2020. Unfortunately, most journalists have had this information wrong for the last 4 years posting incorrect information in their articles. But Toyota and the sticker under the hood don't lie. It was only exclusive to the LE for the first two years of the gen 8.
@@berniemadoff7837 I'm sorry. I thought I had answered this a couple of weeks ago but I don't see it. Anyway, I average 48 mpg with mostly Interstate driving at around 70 mph. But when the wife and I go for drives to the coast on highways with 55 mph speed limits, our average for the day is usually over 55 mpg. Hybrids like the slower speeds and if we drove mostly on 55 mph highways our average would always be well over 50 mpg. But the main reason I wanted the Li-Ion battery was for the longevity. From my experience Li-Ion batteries far outlast NiMH batteries. I drive my Toyota's "till the wheels fall off." So if Toyota's NiMH batteries can last 15 years in their hybrids, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect 20+ years out of their Li-Ion batteries. So far no problems with the hybrid system after 6 years. But that's to be expected. I plan to keep the car at least 20 years.
The Prius still exists because it's a liftback. I think that it is also intended to appeal to some of the younger buyers more than the Camry. Personally, I would prefer the Prius Prime at this point. A Camry Prime would be tempting though.
Yes, most new Prius drivers I see here are late 20s to young 30s. Camry driver are older in their 40-50s.
the prius isnt as roomy as this
its "sportier" as if but the camry is more luxurious and better suited to American roads and driving habits
Lift back is important to many as you get mini suv practicality with Prius. If you want maximum fuel economy you also go with Prius. Also there is Prius Prime, there has never been a plug in Camry but hopefully that changes. For me I would go Camry at this point. Price wise Camry equally optioned compared to Prius is about the same price. With Camry you get a more comfortable ride, better passenger space, higher quality interior, and the ever important spare tire.
@@jml9550not true. I’m fifty and I just bought a 2024 XLE Prius
@@alginyes hence the word “most”
Toyota has hit a Grand slam with this 2025 model. base LE what appears to be 16 in. rims is the way to go. better ride quality. my 2002 Lexus ES300 has 16 in. rims and it rides like it’s on pillows.
At 28k the base LE is more than enough, even though you get the smaller touchscreen. i heard only the top trims get better glass insulation which provides better sound deadening.
if i was in the market for a new car i would get the LE trim BUT my 02 Lexus isn’t going anywhere! it’s as quiet as a vault and solid like a tank
My man's reviews are Elite. Great vid as usual. Really liking the new Camry. That XSE so 😍😍 but mannn the value on the LE looking great too
A guy with deep ass pockets like yourself should spoil himself and go All-In with the XSE Camry.
Looks nice. I really like that they included a spare tire instead of that fix-no-flat garbage. Not a fan of the fabric on the dash though. I'm also happy they didn't make the Camry substantially bigger.I want a midsize not a full size.
For all the people unhappy about Toyota eliminating gasoline Camrys, now is your chance to purchase a leftover 2024 gasoline Camry. Depending on your area and dealerships, you can score a discount of $3000-$6000 off the MSRP. Awesome deals!
I wonder why anyone would be upset about a Camry hybrid? These hybrid systems have an extremely good track record of reliability and economy and is a very mature technology at this point. It's not like it's a work truck needing to tow 20,000 lbs or a track car meant for extreme performance. 🤷
@@naveenthemachine I was curious, so I did a quick search and found prices for the older batteries as about $850 for a reconditioned battery no installation to new battery and installation of $1750 all the way up to $5,000. Looks like the batteries are about 244v and 1KWh in size. I didn't check the amperage though I should have. To be honest, I'm shocked the quotes went up to $5k, but this did include installation. Wow!
Changing the battery is too expensive that makes the resale value lower. The buyers need to consider the possibility to spend extra a few thousands when they buy the cars.
@@wenjiehe8305 new Toyota hybrids come with a 10 year battery warranty so you only need to change battery after that
@@wenjiehe8305 For the older Camrys with the NiMH battery pack there are CZcams videos that show how to repair the hybrid battery pack yourself. Most of the time they fail because of corrosion on the battery terminals; just taking them off and cleaning it up can restore the battery good as new.
Good first impressions. I'll wait for the official review because some guys like Mark and Jack found noticeable improvements over the previous generation.
That’s right. Savage Geese
Another home run for Toyota .
GRAND SLAM BASES LOADED BOTTOM OF THE 9th HOME RUN !!!!!
@@naveenthemachine in the minority on that one
There is a reason why Toyota is the #1 auto maker. They are at the top of their game and they keep on improving their products and they never break down and last forever and now they look great too.
Incredible review, well done Alex!
I agree that the new styling is a net positive for the Camry, with the much better front clip compensating for the slightly worse rear end. The fake C-pillar panel is also well integrated, unlike the 2014-onwards XV50. Loving the fabric touches inside. With a more powerful iteration of the 2.5l hybrid and the still stellar fuel economy, it seems like Toyota has perfected the Camry.
Nice car, and very good pricing !!! Lucky you
Thanks for sharing another informative and well produced review.
At this time the Camry has not shown up at my local dealer, but when it does it may be the next car that I will own.
Amazing video Alex.
Waiting for new Sienna with similar fronty, but proper 3 seats in the 2nd row with childseat tilt , wider sliding doors as well as phev option:)
And better crash test results!
I have the '22 sienna 2nd row captain chairs, my kids and family love it. Plus 40mpg I love it too. Not a single issue. I'm waiting for the plug in hybrid 🤞🏼
Oh yeah! We get a spare tire!!!! Woooohoo! Nice car, I will consider buying one. I also like the Toyota eCVT (power split device) as it's easy to maintain and very reliable! Nice review Alex!
The ecvt, is the best transmission and easy to maintain.
Great review as always
I really appreciate your insight on this camry
I wish they would update the sienna. Desperately needs the new infotainment, surround view cameras on lower trims, and updated safety sense. Digital keys would also be nice.
There's no doubt that the 2025 Camry is and will continue to be an amazing car and I'm a True Toyota fan I just wish that they made a more powerful version maybe the powertrain out of the RAV4 Prime as an optional for someone like me that has always bought V6 Camry's since 2008, I'm not saying that I don't like the Hybrids I wished that they offered a more powerful version other than just the AWD version.
Glad to see the Trunk Comfort Index still kicking.
Love this color inside and outside. I want this model
Really great that the price between this and a Model 3 with partial tax credit isn't too wide. If you want a fuel efficient sedan, you have some great not too costly options
Excellent video, ready to buy 2 of them!
Alex, thank you for this review, the best one I've found so far. So tempted to buy an XLE which I think is the sweet spot and best looking trim but I'll wait a year for Toyota to do their necessary tweaks on this new generation. That's what I did with my 2019 Camry SE which will be seven years old by then and has been such a good car.
Looks nice but i'm still always going to prefer a hatchback/liftback over any sedan, they're so much more practical
Love the color! Reminds me of the greatest VW color ever, Great Falls Green.
MPG is just insanely good, sorry Honda but u messed up current accord . Large, underpowered and not as fuel efficient as Camry
Excellent review just like old times.
Wonderful review on a wonderful vehicle.
Bring back the Camry wagon with this drivetrain. Add a model with a little higher ride height, call it a TRD something or another and sell them like crazy in the northern states to people who shop Subarus
A 2025 Camry wagon actually exists but it will almost certainly not be coming to the US (sadly). The US will get the Toyota Crown Signia, which is a higher ride height CUV-type (tall wagon) vehicle, that is more expensive and less efficient than the Camry wagon.
We have Toyota Corolla wagons here in Europa,they are selling like crazy!
@@brunoheggli2888 I have driven some in Germany and Austria, great little cars, diesel, manual, those and the VW Caravels, wish we had those in the states.
I'm annoyed at how few people chose to review the LE XLE. I'm looking for an amazing "Car as an appliance" for commuting to work. I have another car for fun. Comfortable, reliable, usable, and inexpensive. That's what I want to hear about.
Really good review! I agree with you in that I think Toyota was very wise in slowly making changes to this car. One change though I wish they would make is ditch the piano black plastic on the console. While it looks good when new, it attracts dust and scratches immediately when you drive off the car lot.
If the Crown sedan leaves the market, then I would bet the MAX drivetrain will make it to the Camry as a TRD version. If I were a betting man. Which I am.
Excellent review. I liked my 2002 Camry, but vowed never to buy anything without at least a hatchback, I wound up buying a 2008 4Runner and have never looked back. I do like the hybrid efficiency of the new Camry though.
You haul a bunch of crap around? I do. I have a Mazda CX-5.
New 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid: 204 HP, 44-48 EPA MPG Combined
New 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid: 225-232 HP, 44-51 EPA MPG Combined (Optional AWD)
Camry LE Hybrid (51 MPG Combined) starts at $28400. With Dest and Convenience Pack $30545
any car that gets 50± mpg and doesn't need a plug is a winner in my book.
Toyota's lineup is looking hard to beat.
This is a great redesign.
@@naveenthemachine So... Chrysler and Buick have better lineups? 😆🤣
So, according to you, Toyota is not the easiest to beat. Why did you lie?
@@naveenthemachine You said Toyota was the "easiest lineup to beat." Which means the worst lineup.
Meanwhile in the USA: The RAV4 is the #1 selling gas SUV in the world. Camry is the #1 selling gas sedan in the world. Tacoma is the #1 selling light truck. Corolla is the #1 selling compact car. And Highlander is the #2 selling mid-size SUV (behind Explorer). Toyota is winning, my dude.
@@naveenthemachine But Toyota is winning in sales. That's why I was confused by your comment.
Great review, thanks...
Interest rates alone killed all savings on the fuel economy......
Save up and pay cash. Can't pay Interest....interest must pay you.
They should have gone 100% hybrid a decade ago
Nope it's been a long term plan obviously you don't understand business
I think it’s coming.
There are supply issues though.
Battery doesn't fall from the trees.
The world wide battery production only took off because the Chinese government committed to it about 15 years ago. Toyota likes to have strong grip on it's supply chain, and the idea of relying on the Chinese batteries just doesn't resonate with them. Just how the real world operates.
The market wasn't ready for all Hybrids 10 years ago. It is now. More and more customers want Hybrids because of the gasoline prices. Should get all Hybrids , Plugin Hybrids and EVs in 2030.
10 years ago not manycustomers r ready for hybrid. This is the right time
I wish they made a Camry station wagon now the Venza is cancelled
Couldn't agree more. 👍
there is a replacement for the venza, its the crown signia, which is more or less a station wagon
@@emikomina Yes that's true I was aware but it's more of an expensive luxury model
Andre on the back seat is killin it 😅.
this is definitely the better way, I mean there are no chargers in my building or any other building i know of. very few chargers all together here where i stay
Stay or live? lol tell me you are black without telling me you are black: hahahaha they all say stay in Oklahoma or they add an s and say stays or they say I be stayin at The Panic Zone Apartments down ner .
Alex listens to Hybrid. That’s a big win.
Absolutely love this vehicle. Love your reviews. You and Sofyan are my two favorites.
Looks sharp! Big fan of both the Camry and Accord. One of the fiercest rivalries in the industry carries on!
Nope Toyota is way ahead with this one. Honda is struggling with sales
@@kobbycrentsil2859They aren’t.
You definitely get way more space in the Camry than the Prius (especially in the back seats), but as you pointed out at the end of your video, the Camry is not as sexy as the Prius. But I bet the Camry (and the RAV4) will continue to be Toyota’s most successful models.
The big question is will there be a plug-in version? Then you might ask why would Toyota build any of the Prius models.
New nightmare fuel; You open your trunk and half-Alex is in there, handling your foam inserts.
hope that the global market, especially urban users in developed countries, can support hybrid systems, whether they are HEV, PHEV, REV, BEV, whether they are Japanese, German, Korean, American brands, or the emerging Chinese brands , leaving more oil resources for future generations.
I really hope one of these videos pop up on your channel for the 2025 Sienna.
23:30
I remember when the anti Hybrid argument was, you'll never save anything, now and in the future when the 1st Prius came out in 2000.
Alex or Travis, is it true that the 2025 Camry hybrid has a normal braking feel i.e the braking feel of a gasoline car? No spongy weird hybrid braking feel?
I hope the styling carries over to other models. Looks great
In my right garage bay sits my gorgeous Honda Accord. In the left, sits my handy Camry. Two models that have never left me high and dry.
I don’t think I’ll be upgrading my Camry, though. Perfectly happy with how well it’s done and the engine, among other parts, has been about as bullet-proof as I could hope.
But I will say that, aside from the semi-controversial grill appearance (in my opinion), I like most of how the new Camry looks. I actually prefer this 9th gen over the 11th gen Accord 🤢 which I find a bit boring compared to my 10th gen Accord.
I always get knocked for not buying American brands, but I’d rather hear the verbal criticism than deal with financial cost of repairs. And YES, I’ve definitely owned American brands before, and I either can’t afFORD the repairs, they leave me in a Chrysis, or deCHEVeled on the side of the road.
Wow, I'm glad Toyota filled in the spot for a good driving commodity sedan after the Accord pussied out.
Thanks Alex. You verified that despite being "all-new," this Camry shares things with the previous model. For me, it was the window and roofline shape that looked too eerily close to the current model for comfort.
So this is more of a VERY big refresh.
With only one power train. AWD options. Looks aren't everything
8:44 the Camry gave birth to Alex!
Finally Toyota is integrating their screens into the dash instead of making them look tacked on and sticking up in your line of sight.
How is this vs. the 8th generation Camry for seat height? We inherited a 2017 Camry LE, and for a mainstream sedan, it feels oddly low. My father-in-law has a bit of trouble getting in and out, and it took me a while to get used to, too. I've taken to pivoting and kind of shoving off the bolster as I stand up out of the car. Our Camry isn't a hybrid, and is thirsty, especially in stop and go driving in the city where we use it most. We may be looking into a trade-in!
The modern sedan is sportier, 'swoopier' and lower than earlier generations which is a main factor in the growing popularity of CUVs. The seat height on the 2025 Camry will be just as low or lower than your 2017. If you are shopping for a sedan in a Toyota showroom, the Crown has a much higher seat height.
I'm surely getting this car. Great review Alex.
