The thing nobody ever mentions about 16" rims is you'll get better mpg, lower NVH, less tire wear, and better ride comfort. Large rims creates more problems than it solves. This is coming from someone who used to hop up Civics back in the day. Oh yeah, you also get worse acceleration. Take a guess why.

Having had my Accord Sport Hybrid for about a year I can see where the Camry is trying to one up it. Heated steering wheel, standard rear vents with chargers, standard turn signals in the mirrors, standard wireless charger, optional AWD. Most of these are where the Accord cost cut and some of them are frustrating. I didn’t hear any of these reviews confirm whether Toyota finally got away from that crappy plastic they use on the on arm rest of the door. I’m really happy with my Accord because it performs where it counts. HP wise, that number means nothing until we see the 0-60 numbers. Honda sided with acceleration with their hybrid and in my experience that’s not something Toyota does. I commute 130 miles a day and unless Toyota fixed their seats for tall people I could never own one. I think the LE is going to be a unicorn in its most base form. I 100% believe that base no option model was only created to show a low starting MSRP. I do hope that Honda kills their 1.5 turbo blown head gasket disaster and also switches to Hybrid only.

Having the spare wheel standard is a rare feature in modern vehicles as well as alloy wheels in the base model instead of crappy hub cups and finally, turn signal indicators in the mirrors as well as optional sunroof in the base model.

They’ve had success with the Prius with hybrid systems but I question longevity in the Camry and bigger vehicles.

If you got an inefficient engine, then the mileage wouldn't be worthy of a Toyota HEV. Trade-offs. If 230ish HP isn't enough for you with a base hybrid sedan, then you want a different kind of car, and you'll burn twice or more gasoline.

The one of many advantages of the hybrid is the transmission and miles per gallon. But that's basically it everything else can break and will cost more than a gas toyota. So for keeping forever a hybrid or electric still isn't it.

I bought the 2025 Camry LE with an options package (power driver's seat, heated seat, and other bells and whistles.) I am really happy with the car. The 16 inch wheels and standard suspension gives and smooth, quiet, but still is agile and not floaty. I really wanted to avoid low profile tires after having experienced several ruined tires after hitting chuck holes or running into a curb etc with my previous Honda Accord. Honestly, I think that it is the car to buy unless want to spend and additional $4,000 to get the XLE trim (you know who you are!) At this time not many LE Camrys are showing up at my local dealership. I guess that the SE trim is still the big seller. Cars have gotten so expensive these days and the prices I do not think will be coming down. I ended up getting the car for close to $ 37,000 after taxes and the 8 year extended warranty. Because the car has so many electronic parts and features, I went with the extended warranty.

Thank you for shining some light on the base trim. I lease a 2022 RAV4 now. I'm kind of expecting the new RAV to come out when my lease is up. I really, really hope the new RAV will be as good as the new Camry.

Thank you for driving the LE. I drive the rare 2018 Camry L Taxi cab. They made it for only two years. Even the fuel tank is smaller...

This isn't the first time a camry has felt like a lexus or had interior quality and NVH isolation on par---- 1992 xv10, the goat

Makes me wish I needed a new car. I have the 2018 LE Camry Hybrid and love it. This one is just a little nicer all the way around. But I still have a good 10-15 years left in the 18' so can't justify it. But if I were in the market, This would be it! Thanks for a great review and for pointing out how nicely the LE's are equipped.

Yes people, they LAST that long! Sold my 1991 Camry Le in 2008 with 600K to a friend to use in Long Island when she Would go to see the Grand Children, perfectly maintained totaled in an accident at 989,000 miles ran like a top

I might be one of the only guys in my late 30s has had three Toyota Camrys and loved them all, my favorite being the 4th generation. I'm sure I'll end up in this new Camry within the next few years🎉

@jamesdarcy3902 Ай бұрын

I bought a 4th generation 2001 Camry new with the 5sp stick shift, best car I ever owned and only 2 repairs in 13.5 years and 280,000 miles when it got totaled. That Camry averaged 33MPG and still had the factory clutch and brakes.

@@jamesdarcy3902 I hear you sometimes it scared me that it was almost too reliable cuz I was waiting for it to just blow up or something.. but it never would. I drove mine all around the country and didn't get the best maintenance and the thing still wouldn't miss a beat.

Looks good, I certainly am happy with Toyota. All I need is power windows, door locks and cruise control. 👍🏻

😊😊 My 2017 Pearl White xle camry I bought new now has 205k on it, runs and drives and looks like new still. Other THAN OIL CHANGES, 4 sets of tires only 1 set of front brake pads I put on last summer everything else is stock and untouched. It's amazing how it just keeps running smooth as silk. I prefer to drive this over my new 4 runner bulk of the time. Money well saved couldn't go wrong!!!!

@alirezasoh Ай бұрын

I absolutely love this LE. The fabric seats look pretty. I wish we could get it here in Canada.

@stevenr1354 Ай бұрын

The base model in Canada is the SE with the vinyl seats, but the good news is it comes with 16" wheels plus heated seats and heated leather steering wheel.
