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.

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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

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.

@escheidl
@escheidl Ай бұрын
​@@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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
