Let me tell you why it’s no longer worth it and I’m coming from an engineering background and I have owned for Toyota Camry but I’ll probably end up getting the Lexus ES 350 F sport used instead If you want this in a DXLE you’re looking at about 35,000 at the dealership with the taxes and registration you’re looking at close to $40,000 For $40,000 you have a wide variety of options of getting a very good quality used car you can get Lexus ES 350 F sport or BMW SUV X3 and since this is SE you don’t have to but it’ll be optimal performance if you put 91 because it’s more of a sportier sedan , like the es350’f sport. The difference difference between an SB and a base E350 is only $4000 new so might as well just spend a little bit more

@paullansville Ай бұрын

Why did you guys picked the fwd over the awd camry?

@thebig12conference73 Ай бұрын

@@paullansville Well, AWD is another couple thousand dollars more and not everyone really needs AWD. My question is why pay $35,000 and with taxes and out the door close to $40,000 for a Camry XSE, when you can get a base Lexus ES 350 for 40,000 and it is nicer than any Camry. Used to be not worth it when there was a $10,000+ difference but now there is only a $4,000 + difference. I would take a base Lexus ES 350 FWD no frills over the most fully loaded XLE AWD any day of the week.

I know this is more of a heavy refresh but admittedly last gen looked pretty good, so Toyota did well with updating specific areas. Front end looks modern without going overboard and they lowered the cutoff point for the blackroof which helps a lot with making it look less frumpy. I like the interior too. I'll be curious about longterm MPGs, we got a '23 Prius LE and it has been a little difficult to get 57 MPG, we are averaging just a touch less around 55 MPG..no complaints though.

Great review! Would it be possible to review the safety sense/lane keeping/adaptive cruise with stop and go, etc please? Very interested in how long you can drive on the highway with hands off wheel? Do we have a viable competitor here to Super Cruise? In my opinion this info is key for any car review. Thank you Bros! PS love the sound level readings, great job!

Thank you, friend! I can just go ahead and say that it is nowhere in the ballpark of SuperCruise and not designed for hands-free at all (with the exception of getting the Premium Plus package with hands-free UNDER 25 MPH). The lane-tracing assist still prompts you to turn the wheel on straight highways every 20 seconds or so.

Good on Toyota for keeping the spare. Wake up, Honda. Do you ever figure mpg based on actual gas quantity you add to the tank. Just watched another vid on same car, and that tester got significantly better mpg based on actual gallons added to refill the tank. Trip computers may be more of an educated approximation. I'll be curious how you end up liking/not liking the black roof. I know surface temps on black/dark are substantially higher vs light colors, so in sunny climates, this may be a drawback. They do this on the RAV4 XSE too. At least it's an option on the Camry, whereas I think maybe 1 color of the RAV4 is available in the XSE without the black roof. This car looks like a winner. Wondering if anyone has prelim info on the next gen RAV4 and whether it will be getting the Gen 5 hybrid pack.

great review and I wonder if your sound level reading might be higher than the LE trim due to the bigger wheel size and tire profile, firmer suspension or the large sun roof that was not covered by a closed headliner - I will be renting a 2025 LE AWD soon and was a little disappointed that your sound level did not beat the 2023 Camry hybrid or come close to the K5 and Sonata hybrid. It would also be interesting to get an accurate zero to 60 test as other reviews are as low as 6.9 seconds and 6.57 seconds for the AWD model - thanks for your tireless work and emphasis on cabin quietness!

Looks pretty good! Couple “huh?” moments like the hard plastic rear door sills. Not sure about the engine noise, maybe the mic picks it up more than our ears do? Because to me it sounds very loud and droning, par for the course for Toyota 4 cylinders I suppose. Even though the red color is a bit loud, I still love that it’s an option. About time color makes a comeback.

What I like about Camry is that you can beat the cрАp out of it and not feel guilty about it. It eats up miles no wonder these make great cabs.

You don't drive Hybrid Toyota's like regular cars, if you want The best mpg. You can gain 10-15 mpg, but you have to work for it. I.e. coasting rather than breaking, not accelerating like crazy, and maximizing your EV usage at low speed by 'blipping' the throttle once you've reached your desired speed. That's why taxis love Toyota hybrids, you can really save on fuel if you make the effort. Some find driving like that to be a pain tbh. Hondas are a little bit easier to drive efficiently. They both have similar mpgs.

Beautiful car. I have a hold on XSE supersonic red two tone with black interior, but they order one prior with request of red interior and premium plus package with the 360 camera and added sensors, but could take up to 6 months and no guarantee all options will be added, so I put a hold on the XSE red with the premium package. However, I have not been able to see a wind chill pearl two tone In person. I was interested in the accent lights but they seem to know nothing about it or how to order it, although I saw on their website for $399. I went to see a white peal one today that was sold, but couldn’t locate it at the dealership, until I left I saw the tail end from a distance as the buyer left. I saw a loaner they had that was super sonic red with red interior, but didn’t look inside but was beautiful color. Do you think the supersonic red with black interior is a good choice vs white pearl?

That was our second choice if we couldn't get white exterior with red interior. If you want the two-tone roof, your color choices are limited to only 4

What do you think about it being a super refresh instead of a redesign? And the fact that it is still on tnga v1 vs tnga v2 like the outgoing prius?

@CarConfections Ай бұрын

Not at all. It's very common for automakers to change only the things you can see in a full redesign. Toyota did it differently by leaving a few visual elements the same but doing more with powertrain and dynamics.

Missed opportunity not offering a hybrid v6 in the top trim. These 4 cylinders, although efficient, lack refinement.

What's the gas tank size and range ?

@richscott2483 Ай бұрын

2025 Camry Hybrid has a 13 gallon gas tank for all trims and roughly average 47 MPG for SE or XSE trim giving you 610 miles per tank but you will never want the gas tank get to empty or have the Fuel Light indicator come on. Best to refuel at 1/4 tank or maybe just below. Don't ever overfill the Gas Tank. Nozzle in, once the backpressure is sensed and you get the Click, you are done filling the gas tank. Overflow or overfilling will allow gasoline into the Charcoal Canister and in time if done enough will cause numerous and expensive repairs and could lead to blowing your engine. Always use Octane 87 fuel or what is recommended. Premium and Super Unlead is never needed and there is zero performance gain as just a waste of money. Today's vehicles are set up to run on gasoline with Ethanol, so you do not need Ethanol Free gas. Never use fuel additives. If you live in the U.S. Northeast or Canada or upper U.S. States, you may use Iso-HEET when the vehicle is like 5 plus years old. Personally, I despise and hate all Hybrids and EVs. I like my V6 and V8 engines (ICE).

@blackgold754 Ай бұрын

@@kellyaustin7487 honestly, it’s insignificant. The reason why I say that is my mom got a LE from 2021, she gets 44 mpg cuz of the way she drives. You’re not always guaranteed you’ll get advertised mpg. I did get up to 62 mpg on LE though. So if you drive under speed limit and let the hybrid battery swing, XSE could possibly get you over 50 mpg. It really depends on driving habit tbh. I used to be full on fuel economy nerd but ever since my experience with Camry and because of rising prices and dealership markup, I like fuel efficient cars with modern technologies designed to keep me safe while also buying a car that has slight bit of makeup to make it look beautiful.
