I have a 2019 front wheel drive Camry hybrid. Last December I did a round trip to Spain from the Netherlands, all and all about 5,000km's, about 3,107miles. Of which 2,500 miles on the Freeway @about 62 miles per hour. I came home with 4,3L per 100km on the trip computer, which is 54,7mpg. On my Camry, build in Japan, the trip computer matches the fillup calculation. This is on 18 inch wheels with a whole lot of Freeway cruising. The Camry is more efficient on the Freeway than the 2016 PriusIV that I had before. I am very happy with the the Camry's fuel efficiency.
Splendid!
That’s interesting a have the same car but it’s built in America
We have a 2018 Camry LE (non-hybrid) which gets about 33 combined mpg and a 2014 Toyota Prius which still gets about 46 mpg. Both cars have been trouble-free gems. Thinking about getting either a 2025 Camry LE or SE or the new Prius, I am leaning towards the Camry.
That’s a proud dad moment right there when the numbers popped up on your Calculator!😮
I got 55 mpg total in one day when i drive camry se awd and it was crazy!
My old ball & chain will not let anyone near her hybrid
We are averaging 42.4 mpg with our 2022 Rav4 Hybrid over 35K miles at the pump around Tampa. Toyota really has an amazing hybrid system!
🙌🙌
My buddy and I both have averaged 35 mpg on our 2019 Rav4 hybrids from day 1. He's in Los Angeles. I'm in Alberta, Canada.
Nope
Toyota actually has a huge fuel consumption
I'm at 42.3 with my 2021 toyota avalon hybrid
I'm at 41mpg in my 21 crv hybrid
This makes me feel so good about my 2025 LE FWD purchase w/ convenience package for 29k OTD! more MPG and faster acceleration is such a win. And in my honest opinion, I love how the 16inch alloy wheels look on it. Especially in underground:)
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Those 16 inch wheels should give your LE a smoother ride than the SE or XSE with their larger wheels.
Those 16" wheels with the taller sidewalls also make for the quietest, plushest ride offered by any Camry. So, with the LE in FWD, you get the lowest price (by far), the best fuel mileage (by far), the plushest ride, the quietest ride, the lowest maintenance costs with the most affordable tires (by far), and the most reliable car, since it's the simplest model, with the least electronic gadgetry. As Kirk said in the video, who cares about flashier wheels? It's a Camry. No one buys a Camry for head-turning style or amazing sporty performance. It's an appliance. It's your consistent, reliable butler, not your sexy PIA trophy wife. It's supposed to remain in the background, always ready, willing, and able to serve you without complaint, and to do so seemingly forever.
The Camry LE in FWD with no moonroof...the best daily driver and all-around value in the current automotive world.
You chose well.
@@vlj1133 thank you!!
👀😅43kOTD for my XSE
Still not regretting my purchase
I wanted something with all the bells and whistles after driving my old 08 Camry for so long.
I drove 210 miles yesterday at 65mph with the AC on in my 23 Rav 4 Ltd Hybrid.
46mpg. Its rated at 40.
🙌🙌
Yessir....
Just did the return 210 mile trip. Got 46.5 on the way back
How many cars passed you?
@@Big.W. Speed limit was 65, 2 + 3 lane divided highway. I drive in the right lane pass in the left lane, which I did many times.
Kirk, your reviews are the BEST! Thank you!
I have driven Toyota hybrids (Prius/Camry/Highlander/NX300h) since 2005. I have tried all three drive modes on all of these models. ECO mode slows down throttle response and HVAC, so my response is to hit the throttle harder and turn up the HVAC, negating the intended effect. Normal mode is normal. Sport mode gives you very fast and sensitive throttle response, so I am lighter on the throttle. Because of the way I drive, my mpg remains the same no matter what mode I use. For me, the easiest way to increase mpg's is to use HVAC in full auto mode, NOT use cruise control, and best of all, coast rather than brake, without annoying other drivers. When coasting or coming to a stop, I have learned how to keep the braking in regen as much as possible without using friction brakes. In my 2020 NX300h I am currently averaging 36 mpg in this car rated at 33/30.
I have an XSE with AWD, 19" wheels. I have no sunroof. I drive with the AC on full most of the time. My MPG for my first tank was 45.9mpg. My 2nd tank was around 46.5. I am not doing anything to try to hyper-mile. Most of my driving is on the highway with the cruise control set to 65mph.
EXCELLENT video!!! I wish more people are taught simple driver etiquette. There would be a lot less road rage. Keep up the good work Kirk!!!
There would be a lot less road rage if people learned anger management too.
@@winstonarmstead184 wishful thinking, unfortunately you can’t teach stupid.
Pulse and glide is poor driver etiquette when someone behind you. You're speed is constantly going up and down which is annoying to followers. Also increases drive time.
That’s great. Better than my 2011 Prius getting 45-50.
But not as good as the 4th Generation Prius I had. There was quite an improvement between the 3rd & 4th.
@alanclarkeau yes, the 4th gen gets you at least 55~57mpg. The EPA combined estimate is 52mpg.
@@alanclarkeau Yes, that’s great. And now the 5th gen is even a good bit better and with more power and handling. They just keep getting better. My daughter has. 4th gen and I drove it. Yes big improvement over 3rd. If and when I buy another car it will be a Prius.
New battery and battery filter clean will get you 60mpg, watch Chrisfix
The base LE front wheel drive would be interesting to see, I believe the highest MPG and biggest seller is this spec.
When new, my 2021 Hybrid LE was getting 55-58mpg in the summer and 45-50mpg in the winter.
Now that the battery is a few years old, the car has lost about 3mpg.
@@0HOON0 After 4 years it gets 3 mpg worse........yikes.......hopefully that doesn't happen to my wife and I. Both of us drive 4th gen Toyota/Lexus hybrids
I can drive at/over 500 miles on a tank of gas on the 2025 Camry LE average was 50 MPG last fill up.
@@Its.fernnnn I feel like you should be getting more tbh
Put them in a garage, less temperature exposure
I rented a 2025 Camry LE in Alaska last week. Mostly drove highway. I drove the speed limit where possible and drove 918 miles. First tank was 52.93 MPG (I don’t know how full the tank was when I picked it up) and the second tank was 56.99 MPG. I use an app called “road trip” to keep track of my MPG on multiple cars. I loved driving that Camry! Great road manners, fairly quiet, the adaptive cruise is better than that on my 2 cars that have that feature, and it’s comfortable. When I sell my 2019 Prius I have that on top of my shopping list.
I switched from the 2021 Tesla Model Y to the Lexus RZ450e and use these techniques to achieve 4.5 miles/kWh - 6 miles/kWh (that’s 300 -420+ miles) - that’s way better than my old Tesla.

I have the 2025 Camry LE. The dash said that I got 53MPG. The calculator said 57MPG. That was a lot of HI way driving at 70 - 80 MPH. Most of the time was on adaptive cruise control. I drove from Riverhead Long Island to Fredericksburg Vergina on I95. It took 6.5 gallons. I put 2270 miles on the car in the 2 weeks that I have had it. I just did my first oil change and sent a sample to Blackstone.
Please share the used oil analysis results.
Can you please post a video of your Camry?
wow nice
First oil change is best at 500 miles. The oil oil change intervals should be 5,000miles make it last.
@@douglaskaye1395 My plan was 1000 mile change but I went on a 2000 trip. I find that a hybrid engine runs only about half the time. I plan on 5000 mile changes but the dealer will only do it at 10000 mile intervals for the 4 changes that came with the car. I will be doing one before each dealer tire rotation at 5000. Mobil one 0w8 is the oil that they use with a Toyota label.
@Kirk, when I traded in my '17 Prius Prime, I still had 199.99MPG!😂
Kirk, we can confirm after our son has driven his 2025 Camry LE the computer said 53.5 mpg average but after the real number after gassing up was 51.59 mpg with mostly 425 miles of interstate driving.
You can take that to the bank. The Camry LE is the bomb. 💣
LEss is more. The Camry LE rules!!!!!
Any idea how driving higher speeds impacts the fuel economy? What does it do if you set the cruise at 80 mph for extended periods?
I'd guess 80 mph will be closer to 40 mpg. 65mph should be close to 50 mpg.
@@KirkKreifels I have 38k miles on my 2020 Camry LE now and drive consistently at 80mph here on Dallas tollways. I almost always get between 45-47 mpg and I dont baby it. It's the only hybrid that can do this. My fathers accord hybrid will be at 36-38mpg.... Toyota knows how to make hybrids. Also just FYI nml mode is the only mode to be in. The eco and sport both waste gas for no reason. If you travel between 60-70mph your gas mileage will be amazing. 75mph will net you 48-49 easy.
I didn't buy it to hypermile it and you absolutely don't have to in order to achieve great fuel economy.
Best Fuel Economy
Highway = Sonata
City = Accord
Mix = Camry
Absolutely true that 16" wheels and tires + FWD instead of AWD makes all the difference in the World. Then if you also use low rolling resistance tires like Michelin Energy Saver A/S, highway fuel economy is boosted even more.
In regard to the tires, do you save enough gas to justify the more frequent tire replacements compared to a Michelin Defender?
@@rightlanehog3151For most people, no. The Defenders will also provide better handling and stopping distances. Vastly so in the winter.
I'm a nutter though, so I like to risk the eco tires.
@@rightlanehog3151 good question Defender 2, 80,000 mile tread warranty vs 65,000 for the energy saver a/s. 1-2 extra highway MPG for the energy saver a/s.
Eco tires are fine in warm, dry climates. You do sacrifice some breaking distance and wet/snow/ice grip. For myself better grip for poor weather and emergency braking, etc worth slightly lower mpg.
I prefer Bridgestone instead of Michelin for the better all-round performance, especially on wet and when braking.
Bridgestone Potenza Sport (I had a bad experience with Michelin PS4) for the summer and Blizzak LM005 for the winter.
Best quality/price ratio.
Crown owner here. Stay in the lower half of the eco portion of the radial and you’ll be electric only as long as you have 3 or more bars of electric power. You can find the perfect anchor spot for your foot and basically be pure electric till it’s empty if the road permits.
The slow braking is absolutely it, that little part of the radial is great for keeping track.
This is my first owned car and it’s been interesting learning the little nuances. I started with about 29.6 mpg in the xle trim…. So yea. I was heavy foot harry for a bit. I’ve climbed from this to now 38.2 mpg. If I reset the reader, I’m sure I could be at a consistent 43 or higher, but I enjoy ticking up slowly but surely. From 27 miles to 10.5k I can wholeheartedly say this hybrid system not only has some kick, but its efficiency is top notch.
Next variants I just want more electric capability. Stronger motors for what would essentially be more wiggle room in the electric only driving speeds, larger capacity battery for obvious hopes, and the torque that comes with the additional strength is just gravy. Even just a plug in variant of the crown.
I'm getting 45+ mpg in my 2021 Lexus ES300h effortlessly.
By far the best Camry review on the internet. You just set the bar VERY high. 👍👌
very good tips and info on regen in the beginning.
Another great review Kirk, you were not "HYPER mileing" the car, but just some great tips on how to squeeze the mileage, without being a jerk...Love it!! You essentially drove the worst trim level possible and still got 50 mpg, and to some people having the "best" looking/most features is important. If it is the car you drive every day and if you are like many of us, you will drive it for as many years as possible, you want that up scale feel. I agree with you on All Wheel Drive, unless it is absolutely needed I would save the $1500....
In other hybrid news, the CX-50 hybrid was announced and I'm very disappointed that the base trim CX-50 doesn't get the hybrid engine. The hybrid CX-50 will start at the preferred trim at $35k and you will be forced to go with a slow power lift gate...sigh Mazda c'mon. A base hybrid starting at $33k would've been such great value
Would have been too competitive with the RAV4 base price, while being far superior interior wise. I'm sure Toyota had some rules for using their hybrid system
@@meowmeow2759 I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, but Mazda has also been making some pretty wonky decisions when it comes to trims and options for the last few years. Let's not even talk about the CX-70 debacle so yeah...dunno what Mazda is smoking sometimes
What’s the point? The preferred trim isn’t even leather lol
i already got mine yesterday mine so happy to have it < 3
Love this format! Btw, I have a 2022 Camry SE Nightshade with 12k miles, somehow I average about 42 mpg which I feel like is pretty good for a non-hybrid.
excellent drive for economy tips and review of your test...thanks..
I’ve been averaging 56.5mpg over 1400mi in the LE. In my 22 Corolla hybrid I’ve been getting 63mpg over 59k miles. Florida driving, flat roads, calculated at the pump. I averaged 44mpg in my 07 Camry hybrid before it died with 427k miles.
Epic
LE model is exciting with that potential monster MPG!
I just bought a blue 25 Camry LE and loving it. I just wanted to share that I took a 800 mile one way trip early May in my 22 Camry. Not a hybrid and was surprised to do 500 miles until putting in the first tank of gas.
I can confirm this as well, I have a 2019 SE trim and I have gotten over 500 miles in a single tank.
Thank you for this I was super curious about range on a full tank with it only being a 13 Gallon tank now! 500 miles is great news! Although you said that’s a 2022 so I’m curious what the range will be on a 2025 I saw about 473 with a full tank in the dash when test driving a FWD the other day! Not terrible I hope it will break that 500 range space after break in.
@@threadoflife that’s an estimate and can definitely beat it, most especially on long trips. The most mine has shown is 350.
Very good review and tips Kirk. Keep up the good work 👏👏
Kirk, you just sold me this Camry.
But I am going to wait until my Local Toyota Dealership to stop Scalping them and inventory to go up a little more first.
Thank you for this video. I will use this technique in my Maverick!
Thanks, Kirk… This video answered one of my main questions when I get my XSE later this year. I was wondering how many miles you could get a fill up … mine will no doubt be a little lower because I am getting AWD. Very informative.
This XSE had the 19" and AWD... both sap fuel econ
@@KirkKreifels I agree with you in your video for the best MPG go with the LE… I think it’s a superb. Why buy a Prius?… I did not go with the LE because I like a lot of features and the features that I wanted are in the premium plus package. I lease my new cars so I load them up however I did not opt for the $1500 optional wheels as I could not justify that price… I chose Accessories, some of which I had never had before on a car. In regards to people saying that $45K is a lot for a Camry, which I somewhat agree… Mine is just a tad over $43K… looking for tomorrow of your Camry videos
** I did order all-wheel-drive as I live in the north east and upstate New York and here is in necessity. I currently drive a 22 RAV4 SE hybrid this was my first SUV as I could not get another Camry during Covid because there were none available at the time
Thank you for showing the gauge monitor while driving. It really shows how it works as you drive a hybrid. Thanks also for explaining in detail how to save fuel while driving. Incidentally, it’s the exact same way I drive my ICE car. I get good gas mileage doing so. I plan on trading for the Highlander Hybrid in the near future. Your video is very helpful.
Great detailed video!
AWD is the "spare tire" problem of people who say they don't like it deleted "just in case" they get blow out and they feel they will be safe and able to flip it out themselves - BUT if people wait and get used to the out of sight below floor storage they might decide it is really more a "driving" benefit not to mention carrying something that is big and heavy for no driving enjoyment benefit eh.
Overall good video, thanks. The comment section is excellent. The guys who brought got good deals and know value.
Just another excellent video. Thank you Kirk!
I had a blast with the new Camry!
You're putting out the best Camry videos right now. Appreciate it!!
Sadly it's my last one until next year.... I had to give her back yesterday.
When you get it again, it would be awesome if you could get an LE this time. Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences with that one!
Got 56 mpg on a 2.5-3 hr tour today in my 2025 XSE AWD.
Excellent video, very informative.
Prior to informing us of the 19 inch wheels, I guessed that was responsible for the relatively lower MPG.
picking up my SE this week, black on black. 50 mpg sounds like a dream for someone who travels 45 minutes to work one way...letttsss gooooo
I have a 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE and I get an average of 70 + MPG City, 62 MPG Highway. LOVE IT!
Why are people complaining about the price? The Toyota Camry is one of the best cars in every aspect. There are people who pay double for Chinese cars but then complain about the Camry, despite its price increase. This is a common trend nowadays, as the prices of all cars have risen.
"Pulse and glide is the Bend and snap of fuel economy" YESSS, Kirk Woods! Lol As a female driver, who knows quite a bit about cars, it means a lot for you to use this reference! This week has been nothing short of validating- I worked w an incredible female sales person at Toyota, a first after buying 5 cars before this experience. It was awesome to talk about cars and share the love of cars from someone who doesn't hold a reservation about what I know and like in cars as a female person. Hope all your girls follow in your car-enthusiast footsteps, Kirk, just as I have w my Dad, who worked for Toyota! Can't wait to bring my 2025 Camry XSE home next week! Thanks, Kirk!
Congrats on your new Camry! Thanks for all the kind words :) Hoping at least one of my daughters gets in the "family" business one day!
Camry LE or SE all the way. The XSE is a fantastic car, but i really don't see the value add with 19" wheels
Great Video! Thank You!
Surprising results!
I like the camera setup you have... And not having hills is definitely a plus. Up in Nashville where I do most of my driving there are hills everywhere. They kill the fuel economy.
I definitely wish you could test this thing for an entire tank as well. For some reason that math doesn't seem right. My FWD XSE never comes out more than what the dash says, and the absolute best calculated I've gotten one time was 45 mpg(46 on the dash). Usually it's 38-40 calculated. I definitely feel it's partially on me, but the XSE is for sure much harder to get the advertised fuel economy in.
Great tips on driving. I love it
Nice looking 4Runner LTD in the background when you stopped to calculate the MPG!
We had a Base LE as a rental car this summer on our family vacation and over 700 miles of mixed driving averaged 58-59 mpg with a car full of 4 people + luggage. We drove over 520 miles on less than $30 of fuel all in perfect climate controlled comfort. It was amazing! I can say that the base LE 16" wheel and tire combo doesn't have much grip though. There were several turns the tires started complaining when I didn't feel like it was taking it all that quickly.
That’s great and it’s not even broken in.
Nice tour of Naples and Bonita Springs - Tamiami Trail :)
I’m only averaging 36-37mpg in my 2014 Toyota Prius so I’m highly looking forward to this in my new 2025 Toyota Camry XSE Premium Plus Package AWD. I’m super stoked to pick it up early August 2025!
great tips on regen breaking!
Really like the vids Huge fan Long time follower & 2024 Corolla Se Owner. As Toyota Hybrids are Great I'm considering buying one BUT I've got real concerns about excessive Radiation Inside the Hybrids during Real World Daily Driver Usage SO Could You PLEASE Do Some Vids With EMF / ELF Testing & RESULTS . I believe a lot of people are interested. Or should we be?
Please find out for us all...
& THANX
great video. I think there's one more tip. On the gear shifter is a B mode. From what I read this is a heavy regen braking mode. It's not like the B gear in a traditional automatic transmission which was used for downhill slowing. So there's no danger of switching to B at any speed. You can essentially use B as a way to brake, lessening the need for the disc brakes. In fact, if you need to brake in a hurry like an emergency, switch to B while applying the disc brakes hard. It will stop fast. There is so little wear and tear on my brakes on my Prius C because of this.
Toyota's technology is the future of the car industry
😂😂😂
Hybrids probably. EVs, not so much!
Not really
Toyota has actually a huge fuel consumption
I do have to give a credit to Toyota for making current iteration of hybrids very efficient compares to even one generation back. I have the NX350h averaging right at 40mpg which is twice the previous RX350 at 19MPG and still have RX450h at 26MPG. .
Yes, 50 mpgs for a large sedan is incredibly good. Camrys are nice cars. I've got a 2024 Venza, and in town, my trip computer shows over 50 mpgs. On the hwy, it shows around 45 mpgs. However, I haven't done the calculations on my own, but I will be doing that in the future. Excellent video, good job doing the purely highbred explanations.
There were several reports (from car magazines & EPA) in the last few months that EV manufacturers, especially Tesla, consistently overstate their vehicles' (equivalent) MPG values while many Japanese manufacturers pretty much are spot on with their MPGs from actual driving. I hate to think what would happen to EV drivers forced to scramble to find the nearest charging station(s) due to the inflated MPGs claimed by their manufacturers. And we are even talking about driving in the winter.
I do exactly how you do it and I get 60mpg on Prius XLE AWD 2023.
at one point i actually got 49MPG on a drive back from work on my 25 SE so im pretty impressed by this new 5th gen hybrid system
Kirk-Close the sunshade when it's hot : )! AWD has no wheelspin or torque steer under acceleration like the FWD so for me I would only buy the AWD.I think the fuel economy is more affected by the 19 inch wheels than AWD.
I agree. I would want AWD and 16" rims to get the best balance of traction and economy. 😁
I was seriously thinking what you were going to think about the new Camry MPG. there is a TikTok video that went viral about a mom proving that the MPG stated by Toyota is false. At first, I thought she was BS’ing but now that I see your video, it just gives me more assurance.
You do such a great job and you’re very soft on the eyes.
My 2018 Camry with 2.5l consistently gets 43 to 45 mpg on the highway. We bought it new. Since day one the average mpg is 32.1. Some may think this is odd but I use the cruise control as much as possible at all speeds 35 mph and above. Love my CAMRY.
Wow, that is an amazing fuel economy. Good work Kirk!
Thanks 👍
I switched from the 2021 Tesla Model Y to the Lexus RZ450e and use these techniques to achieve 4.5 miles/kWh - 6 miles/kWh (that’s 300 -420+ miles) - that’s way better than my old Tesla. My RZ has 18 inch wheels - smaller wheels make a huge difference in terms of improved ride quality AND efficiency. Lexus and Toyota have a brilliant adaptive regen + braking system that automatically slows down the car if the traffic ahead is slowing down, unlike Tesla where the aggressive regen requires accelerator to be constantly pressed to keep vehicle moving, which hurts Tesla’s efficiency. Lexus RZ450e also has paddles behind the wheel to “downshift” or “upshift” and change the regen setting on the fly.
Just did a 110 miles round trip, with half at highway speeds (60-70 mph, following traffic), some city, the rest country roads (45-50 mph), driving chill, at the speed limit, following traffic, air con and radio on, two people...
54 mpg.
Damn, on a 1.5 ton vehicle with 200 bhp (Corolla Touring Sport 2.0L), that's really not bad. I don't think my old diesel with half the power would even do that.
Is that 54 miles to the American gallon or Imperial gallon?
@@rightlanehog3151 US. 4.3 l / 100km. On country roads, I'm a low 4l / 100km (or even under sometimes), but highway, I was about 4.5, 4.7, which surprised me. Unless the computer is out of whack, but last time, it was out by about 0.2l / 100km. Long trips are usually more accurate.
@@0bzen22 If we could buy the Corolla Touring Sports over here I think I would choose the 1.8 engine to get even better results. Having said that, the Japanese version offers all wheel drive. I don't know why an AWD option has not been made available in Europe.
Does the radio affect your mpg?

Mazda with Toyoda Technologies, Hybrids Trim, CX-50 will be delivered to Buyers by January 2025; so will Subaru CrossTrek and Forester...

I remember getting 525 miles per tank from the 2021 Avalon. I shouldn’t have sold it but got top dollar for it in early 2022.
I have a 2020 LE Camry with 52,000 miles. I often get 54 to 60 mpg in the summer and 48 to 54 in the winter. The mpg increases with more miles on the odometer.
LE with sunroof and bigger screen, take my money 💰 👍🏼
I'm waiting on my XSE to come in. I'd be happy with anything above 40 tbh. My truck right now gets 17 on the highway lol
I get 47 to 48 MPG. No mountains here. Mostly city to rural driving. FWD version.
Thank You‼️🏁🏆
I would personally get the XSE AWD trim just because I want the handling, extra speed, leather seats, pano roof, and JBL speakers. You can always go on tirerack and get a new set of smaller wheels with michelin all season tires. That way it will still handle quite well because of the michelin tires despite the smaller wheels. The smaller wheels should be able to boost the mpg by 3-4. The camry is still the king when it comes to reliability and practicality. I find it funny that so many people still make fun of camrys and the people who drive them. Jokes on them when they have to deal with major repairs out of nowhere while the people who own camrys can put their money into savings, IRAs, and stocks and watch their money compound year over year.
The bland styling accord gets the jokes now
I bought a 2015 prius to try out the hybrid life and have been so impressed with the fuel milage. I think within a year ill trade this in for the new camry.
Not surprised at the MPG. I had a 2016 Prius that pulled down 70+ mpg at 50 mph with four adults aboard using the same techniques as you. Crazy !!
Good video, on how to drive a hybrid.
Great review! A few things, being a Japanese car, I wonder if its internal computer is set to US or Imperial gallons, and that’s why there is a discrepancy?
The LCA - you only need to hold the indicator until it beeps at you, you can then let it go. In the UK, it only works on Motorways, not local or A roads 😢
The “self charging” hybrid system - having had a few in the past, the one thing that always annoyed me is how “weak” the electric only system is, in that it will come out of EV mode the moment you go over a certain speed (36MPH in my NX350h), or go past the ECO range, when using the accelerator. It’s the main reason why I went in the end for the NX450h+ with the plug in system, that will stay in EV once set, providing there is enough battery left, and can do up to 85MPH (so I’m told, officer 😂), in EV only.
I presume they’ll do a plug in of the Camry as well at some point?
Awesome😮
RE: Highway on-ramps - It depends on where you live. Certainly, if the on-ramp is long and allows a leisurely acceleration to highway speed, go for it. But where I live, many of them are short af and require much harder acceleration to safely merge. Basically, "your mileage will very" on this particular tip. Be safe.
Otherwise, love your videos man.
True. Your mileage will vary very much depending on how you drive.
The short tight curve on-ramps are fun. Foot to the floor, tire squeal and pray the folks in the travel lane are leaving the proper space between cars: safer than going too slow and trying to merge 20 mph under the flow of traffic (or heaven forbid stop in the middle of the on-ramp).
Most people freak out and over accelerate anyway. 99.999% of the time you don't need a giant burst speed of to merge on the freeway. I have driven damn near everything on wheels in damn near every state, now I deliver in a large Metropolitan area for fun, trust when I say you don't need to slam on the gas to merge. Most people need to learn how to slow down when merging if anything.
Too bad Toyota doesn't allow buyers to "mix and match" trim levels with different wheel sizes. For example if you want the perks and amenities of an XLE, but the mileage of a LE, make 16" wheels an option on the XLE. That likely won't happen, but having to choose between the better mpg and upscale amenities is unfortunate. Sounds like your XSE can be had with the 18" wheels. AWD is not just for snow and ice. It helps in the rain too.
I’m a ‘14 Prius C driver, and I think you can take off in the “eco zone” and let everyone save some MPGs behind you.
I appreciate your hybrid driving dynamics which I did initially on my 2013 CT200h but just like you I didn’t have the patience to keep doing so…and just ended up driving the car…letting the mileage fall where it may. I don’t know if you topped the tank off initially or at the end of your video but from my experience depending on the gas station,temperature or elevation…my car would short me approximately 1.5 gallons during fill ups,which would obviously change my mpg ratio.
We were given a 2025 SE Camry for long term rental. The display in front if the driver can be changed to show a multitude of information including charging and power distribution. Just use the arrow buttons. The instant torque can ruin mpg because no Camry has been like that 😂
I just drive and whatever i get is whatever i get. I obey speed limit and break slowly already so it just works. This new Camry is definitely a hit. Can’t wait to see reliability after 2 years.
I own a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid XSE, and here is another tip for better MPGs. This may sound counter-intuitive at first. Spend LESS time in EV mode, and more in "hybrid" mode. The hybrid mode is when both the ICE and battery are moving the car; go to 5:55 - 6:30 and see the energy flow meter (right circle). In hybrid mode, even when the ICE is running, the car is still doing around 60 instantaneous MPG (the white bar in the left circle). Also, keep the battery between 5-7 bars (out of 8) state of charge. The hybrid mode will run even more efficiently when the battery level is high. Since I started doing this in my RAV4 hybrid, my EV driving ratio has decreased, but my MPGs have increased by about 10%.
You mean spend more time in ECO mode
The new motor seems great
My son says a times he has made it to 60mpg on his 2025 XSE. So there’s that.
Top tier gas helps with fuel economy.
We have a 2014 es 350 V6 it gets 26mpg but regular 87 and we also have a 2023 rx 350h fully loaded with the larger rims, takes premium fuel, it gets in the 36 mpg range I will say for the size and weight of the vehicle i am impressed with the gas mileage on the RX. I will have to calculate one day when I'm driving. My wife is kind of hard on vehicles.
Im really impressed with the Mpg on the new Camrys. If we hadn't gotten the RX I would have definitely considered the Camry.
I baby our RX when driving so it feels slow to me plus its a heavier vehicle and I keep it in eco mode the ES does not feel slow at all compared to the RX.
They say the RX and ES have the same 0-60 but it doesnt feel like it the RX with the 4 cylinder feels like your really pushing it plus it sounds like a 4 cylinder. My only complaint of the vehicle.
The new camry seems like a great vehicle! props to toyota on this one.
I try to drive exactly as you suggest using the pulse and glide and it really works. I have never used the eco mode; always use normal mode. I'm going to try eco to see how it feels. I also try not to be a jerk on the road by holding up traffic. I have a 1.8 Cross in Barbados and one thing I dislike is the droning engine noise and E-CVT. Maybe that's a fuel saving idea because i hate the droning so much i try get the vehicle into battery mode as often as possible!
Fuel economy is best in the summer season but bad in winter season, about 15% less
Can confirm with my '21 hybrid.
Every car burns more gas in cold weather. Winter blend gas yields lower mpg.
15% less is bad? Measure a straight ICE in the same conditions
Kirk, Yes indeed! The XSE's wide tires and big wheels are completely counterproductive in the pursuit of high mpg. This is just another reason why the LE on 16' wheels is the best bet. As a bonus, tire replacement costs with smaller rims will be a fraction of the cost over the life of the car and the ride will be smoother every single mile driven. 😁😁While we are on the subject of high mpg, just imagine what it must be like getting 70+ mpg in the Yaris Hybrids they sell in other markets. 🤩🤩
All facts
I hit a monster pothole with my LE on 16". No damage! I was sure that I had just blown $700-$1k. That extra inch of sidewall is worth a lot more than mpg.
Does the width of the tire affect fuel economy? If I get 17" wheels that are the same diameter and width as the 19s, is there any gain in fuel economy?
The big wheels still provide VERY high mpg. Just not as high as the other models might provide. It's RELATIVE. You make it sound like the big wheels end up getting 14 mpg, which isn't true.
@@mrsj1417 Been there done that. Large wheels with low profile tires can be a serious nightmare. The roads where I live are crap and every time I hit a pothole especially after it rains, I start praying that I make it home once the tires start leaking air due to a bent rim. A new tire and wheel is also not cheap. I want nothing to do with large wheels and low profile tires ever again.
When the Prius first came out we had car pool lanes, they would either go below the speed limit or barely at it. Yeah we loved those guys.
when my 2025 camry was picked up, the average MPG was shown as 40+. But I pushed it to and maintained at 50+ MPG. Hybrid should be driven in a Hybrid way.
