I think this is the car of the year
I agree except for the affordable part. I want the SE and here in my place, it’s 35k which is the same price as my 2021 rav4 xle hybrid which i bought brand new 3 years ago lol.
@@silverrhythm9852 3 yrs of hyper inflation will do that lol
@@nickgreve6499 yup. I’m looking at 2025 camry se which is 35k in my area. I’m giving my 21 rav4 to my wife. But the thing is a brand new 2024 rav4 xle hybrid is 36k in my area which makes the 35k se camry seems not worth it.
Love your video
Still using light bulbs in 2025 is insane. The SE shown here has a bunch of options like the convenience package, cold weather package, multimedia upgrade, and power tilt sunroof (all of which come standard with the XSE), bringing the MSRP about $300 more expensive than the base XSE. So, unless you like the look of the black grille, the XSE is a much better value.
Even the lowest trim in other countries is equipped with full LED, sad for US car buyers
So what's the cost of changing out a bad bulb vs the entire LED housing? 5 vs 500 bucks...hhhmm
Light bulbs are better for snowy areas because it clears the headlights in a winter storm.
LED's can't generate enough heat for that.
I rather have a bulb. You know how much these full LED setups run?
Not really insane it’s smart easy to change some cars you need to replace the whole dang light unit some cost upwards of 1200 bucks when the led goes no thanks simple to change over to led bulbs
Excellent review as always!😸
I like that you guys sample the car speakers. Nobody else does that
I can’t be believe the accord has now become the grandpa car kudos to Toyota for making this Camry sportier.👍🏻
I'm a grandpa, and I think the new Accord Is awful. I bought the K5 GT LINE with premium package. Love it.
@@johnfranklin5277 👍🏻
Nice review
Toyota really stepped up their game by using their recent cool car design
For some reason, the bottom front grill styling on the SE blends in better with the front of the car compared to the XSE trim. The SE to me is more attractive.
The color is right for my driveway!
The wireless charger is standard on all models....just FYI
I love you guys and your very detailed videos. Thank you! Both for taking the time to do these videos. I like the 8th generation Camrys much better.
It's a refresh model from the outside. Expected more.
I'm a less is more proponent and feel the LE is more to my liking. I like everything about it, that said, I stumbled across(literally) a major issue. When getting into the vehicle, I smacked my ankle against the rocker. The distance from outside edge of door opening at rocker to inside edge is huge, not allowing ease of entrance. It's preventable as the rocker moulding is hollow, and takes up at least 2", just for aesthetics. If you have a compromised back, it's a long stretch to seat from the outside moulding edge, creating a uncomfortable access.
The new 2025 Toyota Camry SE looks pretty good from the front but to be honest I think the back looks better!!!
I agree looks better in person, I saw one yesterday
I had my heart set on this or the Kia K5….thought I had made my decision a short while ago but this Camry really is a solid choice. Has everything I want and need, as well as a futuristic look that wouldn’t look out of place after 200K miles into the future 😂🎉🎉 Please keep prices reasonable for the LE & SE trims Toyota!
My first choice would be the two-tone xse with red seats, but is it worth over 40k? Hard to justify, I think the LE or SE is the way to go with this type of car. You can still get sporty vibes without breaking the bank.
Please, please do a review of the 2025 Toyota Corolla sedan please 🙏 😊
For whatever reason that 0-60 sounds semi close to a Crown Vic 0-60, at least in this video lol. I love my vic but 17 years in the rust belt she's getting due. A Camry is likely next on my list :) .
Just reserved the white se with black grill and monroof. But it aint coming out until July. In person SEs looked better than xses for some reason
how much year warranty are they giving for Gear Box & Engine.
Drove an XSE recently. Is a nice car. However, as a tall driver my head was just below the ceiling.
Remove the ceiling
@zonkar, they’ll charge a $30 K dealer add on for something they took off
Just had my ‘23 Camry in the shop for scheduled maintenance. Was talking to the tech advisor and said I really like the new ‘25s. He said nice refresh but to wait a year or two to buy one. He said the handful of new ones theyve sold have been coming in left and right riddled with issues. Nothing major.
What issues 😮 I'm 750 miles into one.
Is there a power seat for the front passenger？
I’ve seen two 2025 models on the road so far, both SE’s. I will say it doesn’t look like a new car. It blends right in with the 2024 model. I guess this red color could help it stand out more, however if you’re coming from the previous Camry, a lot of people might not notice that you bought a new car.
Yes but you now get AWD
Average blind
@@thebig12conference73 it been having AWD tho
It looks way different from the front and especially the interior
@@jdstreams1852 yeah I thought the same thing until I saw one in the real world.
How about fleets police package and 🚕
Not a fan of low profile tires, plus you get slightly worse gas mileage over the LE with 16 inch wheels
I’m not a fan either. Greater chance of a blowout going over potholes. Saw a video of a guy with his 2025 XSE with the 19inch wheels that already had a blowout after hitting a pothole on the highway.
I don’t see any difference between the new 9th gen, 2025 and the 2024 model, other than the fact that you can get AWD. Ow. The SE is definitely the middle ground model. It is not as nice as the XLE or XSE but it is nicer than the base LE. At least the SE won’t break the bank. With some upgrades in my build I have it at 36,000 but since I see no difference, might as well safe a bit I found some 2024’s for 30,000
Could y'all plz do a comparison between the Nissan Rogue Black Edition and the Hyundai Tucson Limited in the next video and after another comparison video between the the Kia Sportage Sx and the Nissan Rogue Black Edition plz, would love to see how the twin Korean SUVs face off against the Fully Loaded Nissan Rogue, viewers plz like if y'all agree
I test drove the se it is very quiet great acceleration but the driver seat lumbar support was horrible. I mean a deal breaker. It felt like hard plastic pushing into my back. Hopefully the le or xle is better.
Did u feel pain in ur back
Le or xle for me. I want smoother quieter ride. Sport suspension is so dumb this is not a sport car
LE was base model during 24 but 25 only have 4 trims available SE,SE upgrade,XSE,XLE
35k where i am 45k for xse
It’s very nice! I like the new Camry, I like the black and white seats, I like the red, I don’t like the CVT 😂, it’s a great price
It's not CVT. Toyota hybrids don't use CVT.
Toyota uses an eCVT in their hybrids
wonder how much markup from the dealership
Plenty markup and folks ain't buying sedans nowadays.........
Maybe 10-15k plus dealer add ons
My dealership had 0 markup
It’s really not difficult to equip all of the trims levels with LED light all around, and a gauge cluster that’s fully digital. Hyundai has technology that Toyota don’t even offer. Same with the KIA K5.
I'll take the 2025 Civic Sport Touring, all day long, over the 2025 Camry...
Why do so many new cars only offer black trim around windows and other places? and who ever said black wheels are ever attractive? The black trim and wheels make the cars look SO cheap, and so entry-level looking! Subaru did it with the Legacy and is now killing off what is otherwise a great car...hope the same fate doesn't follow for the Camry!
Shaddaappp
@@porfiriato84😂😂😂😂
30k for 2025 isn’t bad at all….them prices are prices new cars where before the pandemic……🤦♂️
How does it compare with the last Camry Hybrid(18-24) since its almost the same system?
2025 is using 5th gen hybrid system, u now get optional hybrid AWD, stronger electric motors, slightly lighter, better throttle response, and lower NVH.
@@ro0ster648 well, I wanted to understand if this actually makes any noticeable difference compared to the old one
I haven't driven the prior gen. But I can tell you most of us regular guys will enjoy the quick response. They estimate the total torque to be around 300 for the FWD models. 163 & 150ish from the electric motors. The passing power is more than aquatic.
Great view guys and the Camry is good, but the Accord is too great 😊
The huge center console actually makes me think, what a waste. Because I miss the days of seating for three...in the FRONT. I don't think the Camry ever had it, but the Avalon had it at one point. And it's obvious the new Camry has ample space for a middle seat. Apparently, airbag considerations have made mid-front row seats a thing of the past.
Consumer Reports once said that the SE rides worse than the LE and doesn't handle any better and that there was no reason to buy it over the LE. Maybe with this redesign it's changed.
SE is new LE there is no more LE trim from 25
@@adamt4051 Are you in Canada? Here in the United States there is an LE trim Camry for the 2025 model year.
2025 Camry SE or 2025 Civic Sport Touring?
2025 Civic Sport Touring, all day long....
@@mikebingham9700unless you have baby or kids
I wish they would do something with those sun visors, they still have those cheap, slide out cards that do nothing. Not too thrilled with the fabric interior trim, especially the seats, it's in the wrong place, and those light bulbs. SMH. Car still sounds noisy.
The new Accord looks like a Taurus... this looks way better
CVT?
eCVT, not the same as a traditional CVT
Not CVT.
DCT
@@bigdavedayday1581
Nope
@@bigdavedayday1581 much better than the CVT
Hyundai sonata limited 2024
Not my favorite vechile but not bad.
Wish someone would cover the maintenance and logivity of the ecvt
It’s been used since like 2016 in the Prius. It’s solid
@@dragonquakeactually since 1997 in the Gen 1 Prius, so that’s 27 years. To answer your question OP hybrid eCVTs need their fluid changed every 100k miles. It’s basically a differential and all that’s required is a drain and fill procedure.
Looks like they just microwaved the previous generation Camry and served it up.
2:38 pause 🤔
What?
i don’t like that everything is an additional package with toyota.
Gas mileage according to your specs is around 46 MPG for this SE AWD, but early on in the video the car's dash display showed an MPG of 33.5!! Buyer beware, I say....
This was a short test in a prototype vehicle so I wouldn't read too much into that fuel economy readout just yet
@@CarConfections There are only 1154 miles on the car, so some variability can be expected, but a difference of 12 MPG? Make a note of this please, for when you get a production car to review closer to the date of release...
Still pick the accord over this
The Accord looks way more Elegant...
Those black wheels look awful. Like steel wheels, missing the hubcaps.
You should show the rear door panels, they are all plastic, they do not match the front door panels when it comes to materials, Toyota dropped the ball there!
2024 Hona Accord ALL THE WAY
Trading my 21 Accord on a new Camry. New Hondas are such garbage.
Will buy 25 camry next yr my current car is camry too
Accord hybrids gets smoked by new Camry hybrids in 0-60 and rolling start drag race, watch ThrottleHouse drag race of it.
I just can't get used to the piano black on the dash. 🤮
Love the color, but after finally seeing these in person, I don’t regret buying the new Accord. Personally I think my Accord Sport looks more upscale.
EXACTLEY!!!!
It’s a cool car, but I rather just go for the gas car itself.
Wrong
Worst tires of all time. Low profile. Makes road irregularities worse.
These new Camrys are really ugly and only hybrid option is a no deal for me. I rather get a 2024 Camry even though I currently I have a Honda.
Toyota is a joke not including daytime running light on all models.
It uses the low beams in low power mode for the DRL like previous generation, but on the new SE there is optional DRL on for $399 which should of been standard imo
The funny part is white that Hybrid engine guess what forget about DIY forget about the average shop to fix it when it’s out of warranty it’s going to have to go to Toyota to get fixed and u will be robbed blind!!!
But that will take 15-20 years and 200-300.000 miles. In most cases. If history repeats itself. The 2007-2009 first Camry hybrids are still rolling along and can fetch up to $11.000 for a nice one. I think most people would take that.
Interior is terrible
debatable
The key-fob, yes, let's talk about that. Did you know that you no longer will receive TWO key-fobs when you buy a new TOYOTA. They have cheaped out! So, if you and your partner share the same car, you will need to beg for the key-fob each time you want to use the car. If you lose your key-fob, you are out of luck. Take it to the junk yard!!!!
