Just bought a '25 Camry Hybrid AWD LE w/ convenience package to pair with my '22 Supra. It is an AMAZING car. I really suggest people look into the LE over the higher trims. You get better mpg because of the smaller wheels and a LOT of value. The base sound system is more than adequate. The cloth seats are quite comfortable for what they are as well. Just an amazing package at 32k. Real world getting 50 mpg or so with a lot of city and uphill driving (bay/coastal california). Oh and the interior space is exceptional. My fiance are both 6'0", and we can sit behind our own driving position without knees touching. Buy this car. (Paid MSRP, 32K)
I have an new LE and found the MPG estimates to be accurate and it doesn't take much effort to do even better. I love this car. Chose the LE because the 16 in rims are much less likely to get damaged when I hit a pothole when compared with the 18 or 19 in.
@@MattTheCarguy My previous car, Impala, had 20 inch rims. Ruined 2 different tires in 2 months and had to have a rim repaired. Great car but this new one should be less drama.
Absolutely agree with choosing the 16 inch wheels. I waited. for a Camry LE to become available. My previous car was a 2007 Honda Accord with the low profile tires. I lost count of the tires that I ruined with pot holes and hitting curbs. The Accord was a great car but when the time came to get a new car I specifically waited for Camry LE and the 16 inch tires. While the LE does not have a real sporty feel, the ride is smooth and the handling is fine.
@@Cap683 Even if you have good roads, low profiles wear out quicker which makes me think tire manufactures have influence. I am a Honda fan, would probably make Accord my first choice if they had more pot hole compatible rims.
I just got quoted $36,000 altogether with all taxes plates etc for a black 25 Le awd with heated grey seats and heated steering wheel the convenience pack. I asked for a discount and they gave me $300 off. I put a $500 deposit to hold the car for me. And they have a 25 underground SE awd for $39,000 altogether but somebody reserved that one already. Both cars are on a train right now on the way to Massachusetts
The eCVT is a much better transmission. Its not a steel belt thats prone to failure. An eCVT is independent electric motors submerged in transmission fluid. Think of how durable a regular electric motor is, inside a house fan, but fluid cooling the electric motors.
Nice look at the LE. I'm 687 miles into a SE with upgrades. its not a daily we use for evening weekends and vacations. So far I like it. Just cannot get the AC vent to blow at my face
I subbed because I like your videos! Thank you....I currently drive a 2016 Avalon Hybrid THAT I LOVE but I want SOMETHING NEW! What do you think of the Venza???
I need to know. On the LE model with 16" tires. Lets say you run out of gas. On level ground and bat. Full. How many miles can you drive on you battery along??? Thanks for your review. 😊
Probably not enough to get to gas station unless you are right around the corner. EV mode on these is mostly for getting out of parking spot or driveway and is very limited as far as speed before combustion engine kicks in(10-15mph) I would be surprised if it went a mile.
@@Irishmanbikes next time i am in the vehicle i'll record it. ( pretty sure ots in one of my videos already) basically as a vehicle or pedestrain approaches from the rear or rear side of the vehicle it give you visual and audible warning. Some also have vibrations in seats.
I've been looking at Tesla mainly because of the self driving feature. Can you tell me something about Camry's most comparable feature? The Toyota salesman said you only need one finger on the steering wheel.
Red color looks nice. Inside is quite boring. The dashboard just goes straigt across. It drives nice enough but exterior and interior feels cheap but ok. If that car gets hit it feels like it will get crumpled eaisly. Gas milage seems to be going down significantly after being driven for less than a month. Thats my initial feedback so far.
@@soccersprint hopefuly it will break in and fix itself. Maybe try gas from different gas station. I noticed on my Pilot significant difference between Racetrac and Shell gasoline.
Is the additional extended warranty worth it for this car (10 year or 125K miles)? I know it is about 2-3K more, but because of the added complexity to the hybrid and tech it might be worth it. Any opinions? I never got an extended warranty for my cars, but as we know the world has changed.
I guess it depends if you will keep it for that long. If not you can always cancel and they will pro rate it and give you portion of the cost back. I think with prices of repairs right now it's definitely something to consider. Its less than 10% of the vehicle's cost.
@@erichvonmolder9310 Btw the Hybrid warranty is 96 months and 100K miles and the Hybrid battery is 120 months/ 150k. If Hybrid is what you are concerned about than its covered.
I have read a lot of reviews that said the AC is not adequate on hot/humid days. Can anyone who owns a LE in warm climate area verify if this true. Thanks
Yes it is enough headroom I am 6’2” and I just drove a 2025 Camry XLE with the panoramic. I’m getting an LE without the sunroof so it will have even more space inside
My only concern is that if vehicle breaks, who's going to fix it? I know it is a toyota, but all cars break sooner or later. I don't think there are many mechanics who know how to fix hybrid cars, and moreover, what is the price of the parts for this type of vehicles?
Hybrids have been around for 25 years since the first Prius and while the technolgy evolved the concept is pretry much the same. You have 10/100k miles warranty on the battery and Hybrid system
@MattTheCarguy yes, there been around for 25 years, but here where I live, El Paso, the dealerships are the only places where you can fix hybrids. And you know the reputation of dealerships when it comes to fix cars and overpriced repairs.
@@monkeymensofind small repair shop that has experience with hybrids. As an owner of third Prius in a row (2 previous were over 200k miles) I can tell you: they are cheaper to operate in a long run. Even if battery degradation gets you, you can fix it for about 700$.
I don’t know about Texas, but in New York City there’s a Toyota hybrid specialist that isn’t a dealership so I would look for one of those in your area
It calculates based on the current usage. If the vehicle is sitting and idling its burning gas but not moving hence its 0miles per galon. Once its starts moving it will adjust. Full tank 13 gal at 50mpg should give you 650 mile range.
@@MattTheCarguy yeah, it's like Toyota intentionally made the LE wheels look bad... funny thing, on the Corolla Hybrid, they had nicer looking 15"... so wheels can look good, even if they're small
I’m planning on getting black Avalon nightshade 19” “replacement” wheels on the black 2025 camry LE awd I just gave the dealership $500 to hold the car for me. It’s in transit still
@@Big.W. doesn't that defeat the purpose of the LE? ... Those 19" wheels will cost you ~10% MPG/ range, in addition to worse ride, road noise, replacement costs, etc SE comes with blacked out wheels and would cost less upfront than an LE with added 19's.

Yes, I think it's the best trim personally. Epecially now that it's upgraded to the latest generation Toyota hybrid system as standard equipment.
Its a nice system
Looks great in red, doesn't look like a base model, much nicer.
I agree!
i bought one on 8/30/2025 same package but in blue thanks for your review
Thanks for watching and congrats on your new ride!
Saw one in person. The blue is one of the best blue colors out there, very subtle and give you that mature, calming feel~😸
The eCVT is a much better transmission. Its not a steel belt thats prone to failure. An eCVT is independent electric motors submerged in transmission fluid. Think of how durable a regular electric motor is, inside a house fan, but fluid cooling the electric motors.
Definitely feels better without the whine.

Congratulations! Is the steering wheel in the way?
I have heard complaints about the two middle air vents for that reason.
@@MattTheCarguyyou should tell people how to turn the air on it’s confusing
Wish the LE model have a optional premium audio package. Perhaps next year's model will have it.
We'll wait and see.
Try to get it aftermarket🤔
Great review I have the same vehicle I love it average 51 miles per gallon
That's awesome! How can you beat that!?

in terms of driving feel, suspension, comfort, pothole feel. which one will you pick, 2025 camry hybrid or sonata hybrid 2024
I like the Camry.

The power driver's seat is not standard on the LE; it's part of the Convenience Package.
Correct. About 1100 will get you this and smart entry system on front doors. All equipment with pricing in the description of this video.
base models are stripped down, people want that. Less feature that break down, less cost
Don’t need a power seat.
@@matthewhuszarik4173 power seat are more weight

Car or my shirt ? 🤣
Both. Plus you're good looking.
Which one has better suspension 2025 vs 2024 and more comfort ?
@@thenewcapital8084 for me its definitely 2025
How is the steering? Is it light? Or heavy steering?
I think its the right balance. It has some weight to it without being too heavy.
I test drove the XSE and did not like the stiff, thin driver's seat. I'm guessing the seats are the same in the LE?
Yes they are similar. Have you driven a Tesla?
I've been looking at Tesla mainly because of the self driving feature. Can you tell me something about Camry's most comparable feature? The Toyota salesman said you only need one finger on the steering wheel.
It does not have it.
Those self driving feature makes the traffic slower during commutes
Considering this CAMRY when my Lease is up on VW I’m presently driving. Nice Review, Matt🎉

Thanks for the feedback. I rented an SE for a week recently, got about 46mpg during my week trip. Not bad.
Does this car have full speed adaptive cruise control?
it has a full speed range dynamic radar cruise control if that's what you are asking about.
I heard lots of CVT groan on takeoff. Bring lots of bucks for extras.
Hmm, I found the CVT pretty quiet. And yes, all extras are $$$
The most mpg I got from this camry is 48mpg. The least I got was 34mpg
34! You must have been in race mode lol
