Hello everyone! Tough day with filming and had an issue while uploading the Grand Highlander that was supposed to go live today. Don't worry I will have the Grand Highlander coming before the end of the week.
@@toyota420xp I was shocked when I found out my ‘23 Honda didn’t have Satellite radio and not even HD radio, plus a lot of other features missing 😢 Such a giant step backwards.
I own a 2016 Accord Sport, which is a great looking body style and I love it. The Camry is better looking than the latest Accord now. Honda really screwed up changing the body style, making it look very mundane on the road. Honda needs to reverse course and add style and aggression and more HP to the next version. 2025 Winner: Camry.
I agree - older accords look better I had the 2017 accord and loved it and regret selling it. Then i bought a 2019 2L accord with 252hp that is amazing and again regret selling it!
Dawg, the new camry has had engine reliability issues. Some owners already have reported is not that great. Just like the new tundras some are failing.
Honda dealership near me has the Civic and Civic Hybrid leaving the lots in record numbers and them charging above MSRP for them whereas the Accord sit idly in the lot for months and dealers trying to give deals on it
I test drove this while I was getting an alignment on my 4Runner. I will be taking out a second loan on this. Never ever been interested in a Camry before this one. Wasn’t a fan when the pictures first came out, but in person it’s gorgeous and the ride quality is fantastic.
Joe, I think Toyota has adopted the best method. Focusing on hybrids. They realized that the future belongs to hybrid cars, not EV. As always ❤Joe❤Lori❤Steven.
I think the AWD + Hybrid standard is what pushes the Camry over the Accord for me. Although, I am a fan of the Accord interior. I’d personally be curious if they released a Hybrid Max version as a replacement for the V6/TRD being gone.
Don’t get fooled by the luster on the Accord interior. It’s all cheap plastic. Mine is rattling and creaking. Part of the dash came off. The door panel broke. It’s a mess! And that’s because I take pride in my cars.
I like that Toyota has figured out that infotainment systems are here to stay and that it looks like it was designed to be a part of the dashboard. It does just look like an iPad put on the dash as an afterthought. Joe, the car does sparkle like a ruby in the Florida sun, but I think it would sparkle like a ruby in the Texas sun or the California sun or any states sun.
I would like the screens to have an option to close, fold down, or have some sort of lid to put over them cause they all just look so fugly in otherwise decent interiors
I have the 2012 Camry sev6 with 120000 miles and it runs like new ( change the oil) I love how they kept the new one simple and I would say great on Fuel and I believe the Reliability will be there .. Of Course since its first gen there will be issues but nothing major I believe .
@@rickjohansson4257 I got my LE w/ convenience for 29k OTD. A pretty great discount. The battery replacement likely will not happen until 15 years. And to alleviate any worries, I have the standard 10 year hybrid battery warranty. It's also not that expensive to have the battery replaced, about a couple thousand, way less to have it fixed/reconditioned. The new non hybrid Honda Accord is about 30k. Oh also...hybrids are fun. Like super fun. The almost instant torque from the electric motors are awesome. The gas savings over the years are also awesome.
@@rickjohansson4257 Your concerns definitely seems to come from a place of not knowing Jack about toyota hybrids. Valid concerns but unfounded. It is better you frame concerns as opinions and not factual statements. You never had a hybrid or ev and probably never will.
@@kobbycrentsil2859- I own an ES300h and, while I really enjoy driving the car, it handles, sounds, behaves, and FEELS like an Avalon. Like, nearly identical. Slightly softer leather, a db or two quieter perhaps, but otherwise nearly identical. The only difference that’s readily apparent is that the Toyota is built in the USA, while the Lexus was made in Japan. Thus, the resale and trade-in prices is SLIGHTLY higher with the Lexus. The maintenance and repair costs are ALSO slightly higher, unfortunately, making these two big, heavy sedans nearly a wash in almost every way. In short, drive whichever one you like more. The Lexus is slightly quieter, smoother, and has a slight edge because of the badge, “L” perhaps, but I am currently leaning BACK to the Toyota because they are sportier, handle better, and look more aggressive in some respects. 😊 The quality differs is truly negligible at this point (since 2006, at least). The TINY differences no longer justify the fairly significant price difference (IMHO).
it's just so sick looking. I havent finished the whole video yet but I am hoping to see a Camry Hybrid Prime trim at some point. A TRD looking carmy with the new look and powerful hybrid setup would be sick. Lets see a 0-60 in 5 seconds or less.
@@TheMetalGaia they have it for the Rav 4 hybrid prime. I think it's the quickest Toyota you can buy second to the supra. Which to me is really disappointing that we never got this on the Camry.
@@savethemanuals1597 I thought it might be possible to order the padded leather ones from the XLE. The center arm rest is better but not great either. I think @ross has a good idea with a upholstery shop also and probably costs less. Lastly if one gets totaled in a wreck and junked you can pull the leather ones and swap them out.
Great review as always Joe! Think they did a pretty good job with the updates and I actually prefer the colored grill on the upper trim. Now the question is, are they going to bring the 2.4 turbo either with or without the hybrid at some point?
I am really a fan of your videos. I have finally aettled with your videos when it comes to cars. One thing I appreciate about your videos is the predictablity
Yes, of course; however, we (enthusiasts)are a small segment of the much, much larger buying public, and in 2025, hybrids seem to be the future until full electrics are available and a readily available charging network everywhere in the US. I am 70 and loved the V6, but this model is another inevitable progression Gasoline is not likely to get cheaper.
Joe first off I enjoy your content. You are the first reviewer I look for when checking out car options. I am glad I am not the only person disappointed the AMERICAN SEDANS are not available. Haggling on to my clunker until they return. I rather fight than switch Thanks
I traded my 2022 Corolla LE in last week for a 2025 Camry SE - Night and Day I love it & the ride is smooth and responsive. Some of the trim like you said is cheap. Wish they did all the Emblems black. Mine is front wheel drive and didn't come with heated seats. I'm getting aftermarket heat installed in a few weeks mostly for the wife lol.
I would rather have a Toyota Corolla GT The Camry Looks nice but Only seen older people driving these cars not saying i am old I just turned 58 but still feel like i am 25 in my head lolol If i was to get a Camry I would love a White one or Dark Blue and loaded like crazy I remember when they had a 2 Door Camry in the 90's wonder if they will bring it back I don't really follow Toyota Cars just the Corolla That's it . I know it's hard to kill a Toyota I am a Single Guy and just love a 2 door car if i was to Choose to a Accord or Camry it would be the Camry don't like the new Accords Great Video
Liked demo of AWD’s seamless transition between front & all wheels. Shows daily non-adverse weather benefit of electric rear motor on dry southern roadway. Can see even greater safety with AWD in bad weather conditions.
Man, Ive been looking everywhere for just "a" 2025 Camry here in Canada. Nothing in the Ottawa region. Mainly want the SE with maybe the upgrade package. ( would love to test drive both 16 inch and 18 inch tires) Great review Joe! Love the colour!
Great video and I like the car a lot. I was in a '25 Camry XSE yesterday and I noticed that the seat isn't centered to the steering wheel. The steering wheel is offset to the right. Are all Camrys like this? I'm afraid it would drive me nuts.
Joe, excellent delivered as usual. It looks like you're really approved that rear center armrest. No zonk on this 25' Camry for me. I'm interested enough to plan for a trip to my local Toyota dealership to see it in person. Thanks for great video, Joe !!
1st time catching your content, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I appreciate your humor and knowledge combined. I purchased the 25 XSE and waiting for a 3-week delivery. Prev G80 5.0. These cars are in high demand in NC, and if you need this desirable vehicle now, you are at the mercy of Toyota's add-on packages to increase prices. Oh well.😅
This is the trim I got on order. Only difference is mine is white and FWD. Test drove an LE and even that one is pretty good. Toyota did very well with the 25 Camry. Can't wait until mine shows up in mid september.
I work at a Toyota dealership and I’ve seen this spec in person and it seriously looks great!! Honestly, all trims look great, including the LE. I personally would probably get the LE because it’s still cheaper and slightly better gas mileage and has a ton of great equipment standard, but I think this SE is going to be very popular! Edit: I currently drive a 2015 Accord coupe and really like it and have owned three other Hondas, another Accord and two Civics. I am not in the market for a new vehicle, though if I were, I’m going 2025 Camry over 2025 Accord, easily.
The "normal" sunroof is nice, I'm sure the panoramic is nice but I wouldn't want to see the bill if that cracked. Overall pretty good! Multiple Electric Motors is interesting
Zonks for me: the rear part mostly. I really do not like the shape of these taillights. There are other things but they are minor; mismatch on color on letters in the back, the center piece of the steering looks just bad. Then there is the use of cloth in lots of parts of the interior. And last but not least, i would prefer shinier wheels; something closer to metallic and not completely black as it is now.
Super smart of Toyota to put a piece of plastic where a timer window used to be on the c pillar. That window was notorious for getting broken when thieves broke into the cars. Just wish it would be flat matte black instead of gloss black.
Very sharp looking sedan. Toyota does a fine job with balance. Styling is top notch. Performance is enough for passing on the interstate and fuel mileage is phenomenal. Hard to beat for a stylish every day driver.
Great video Joe! Camry looks sharper than the Accord. I wish that the Camry had the V6 and the Accord kept the 2.0, but I’m glad that they didn’t cancel them with another Crossover suv.
I’ve always had accords and really like them but I went with the camry this time. Almost bought the 2022 V6 but this was lower interest & so close to the same price with AWD & 47mpg. Enjoying it so far but still figuring things out with it
My 2021 Nissan Sentra SR goes back in Sept. Always like the SE Camry, but some of the new design elements I don’t love as much as previous gen. However, style wise, I feel this beats the brakes off the Accord. I feel Honda dropped the ball on the design. But also gotta let the drive do some talking too. Should be fun shopping coming up. Great work as always Joe and team!
I am not a fan of all these hybrid experiment cars. Just give me n/a with a regular transmission. Simple and reliable is that so much to ask anymore? What I do like is Joe's reviews. Thank you sir really good content all the time.
@@jonathanratliff4780 I’ve always gone back and forth between toyota & kia with no problems but my last camry had several issues & the tech wasn’t all the way there for me. I understand the MPG is better with the Camry but I have bad luck with CVT transmissions and the warranty, value for dollar and tech/design of the K5 has me sold.
The Model 3 gets the 7500 credit while these camrys do not. That is a big deal to me as well. Had they gone and done a camry plugin hybrid with 0-60 in 5 seconds then Id be looking at camry a little harder. I miss my TRD but the model 3 performance is just a much better car to me.
@@helderperez1474 That's what these people don't understand. If you change at home, the Model 3 is a no brainer. The performance destroys the Accord and Camry. People always worry about the outliers and act like they are doing 700 miles a day. And charging to 80% is not that long on a Supercharger . Otherwise, the rest of the time you wake up with a full charge.
I got one of these Camry SE AWD 2025s and I gotta say, it's exactly like you said it is. I've been getting between 44 and 46 mpg going to and from work, and it's been a really relaxing experience driving it.
I used to be a sedan guy. Always wanted to get a Camry. But after I had my 2005 Matrix, I learned that if you can only have one vehicle, a hatch that you can open, fold down the rear seats and slide large cargo in the back, makes a sedan worthless. Sure I'd get a Camry/ES 350 if I was to buy a third car. My second car would be something like a Mazda MX-5 or Lexus RC F.
Over the weekend I test drove a Accord Touring. Several decontenting ZONKS; no Home Link mirror, no Sirrus Satellite & the venting seats didn't work with a crap! Ends up being a hard pass! And no Camrys to test drive anywhere, they hit the lots & SOLD!
I know how you feel about the Accord. I am not surprised there are no Camrys to be found right now. Give it a little time and I am sure things will come around.
I saw one of these the other day on the road the base models look bland unattractive, but when you upgrade to the luxury or sporty versions, they look really slick
When a toyota camry has got developmental resources with aero bits, you know the auto world is in a pretty good place. If you told me 25 years ago a camry would look like this, I'd have thought you came from the future, and I would be correct :) I'd have thought given the pedigree, the accord would have went this direction and the camry would have went more the way of today's accord.
In red and new style this car surely looks way better then it likely is . Very good looking sedan . Best looking ca ary ever . I w uoukd hate it as a CVT but you wont look awful driving it while the trans makes awful sounds . Its slow and when going for quick acceleration of which 7 seconds is enough to get moving and droning and buzzing loudly when you ask it to the MPGS and price with the very handsome looks balnces it out . Looks cool even if it isnt .if you cant be cool you can look pretty cool IMO .
It looks better! But it is too heavy and the gas mileage is not that great. For a small engine and combined electric power, you would think the mileage would be higher than 44 on the hwy. My 2005 Acura TL with a powerful 6 cyl gets 32 on the highway. Sometimes more. Plus, you would think with electric power and gas motor it would be faster than 7 sec through the 1/4mile. So, its not that quick. Another issue is with all that "double technology" in the power train, Repairs will cost you! The older Camry was more simple. And the CVT transmission is not very stimulating to me. I like the new looks, but I think there are better deals out there.
Been driving Hondas/Acuras since 1982. There’s a good reason for that. I just like the Honda/Acura interiors a lot more than Toyota interiors. Toyota probably has better power trains but the passenger compartments have an “Everyman” vibe of basic mass production. You have to upgrade to Lexus and they’re a lot of 💰.
Hi Raiti’s Rides I hope you’re doing well. I’m in the market for a new family car and would love to get your expert advice. Could you suggest some of the best options available right now? I’m looking for a vehicle that’s safe, spacious, and reliable. Thanks so much for your help! Best regards, Ahsan
Hello everyone! Tough day with filming and had an issue while uploading the Grand Highlander that was supposed to go live today. Don't worry I will have the Grand Highlander coming before the end of the week.

You can’t go Honda if you want satellite radio

It is 2.5l not 2.0l engine with 232hp awd and 227 hp fwd.
Does this model come with head up display?
I bought one a month ago and I am super happy with it so far! Getting that MPG in the 40s in the city as advertised!

Yeah 9th gen accord is just classy. 10th gen looked fine. 11th gen is pure garbage… looks wise.
@@oompaloompa413Well said.
Dawg, the new camry has had engine reliability issues. Some owners already have reported is not that great.
Just like the new tundras some are failing.
Definitely Camry over the Accord, all around great looking car!
Yeah accord copied the ford focus design while Toyota copied a Ferrari sf90 😂
You know Honda has lost its cool factor when the Camry looks better than Accord.
That is a very true statement especially how bland the style of the new Accord its.
Toyota got it this year
Honda dealership near me has the Civic and Civic Hybrid leaving the lots in record numbers and them charging above MSRP for them whereas the Accord sit idly in the lot for months and dealers trying to give deals on it

Oh wow that is great that you love it!
What did you like about this ride in particular ?
Nice spend money u don't got smart

completely agreed! EV is a "deepfake".
Toyota been working on HYBRID system since 1995 , and first prius was 1999
I think the AWD + Hybrid standard is what pushes the Camry over the Accord for me. Although, I am a fan of the Accord interior. I’d personally be curious if they released a Hybrid Max version as a replacement for the V6/TRD being gone.
Don’t get fooled by the luster on the Accord interior. It’s all cheap plastic. Mine is rattling and creaking. Part of the dash came off. The door panel broke. It’s a mess! And that’s because I take pride in my cars.

I’ve been a Toyota fan so this one’s definitely worth it!

I like that Toyota has figured out that infotainment systems are here to stay and that it looks like it was designed to be a part of the dashboard.

I just bought a new 2025 Camry SE (front wheel drive), and got 47.7 mpg using only Normal Mode. I can not wait to try it on ECO Mode.
Great review. How are the brakes? Mushy or sensitive? Thanks for posting.
Very sharp looking sedan. Toyota does a fine job with balance. Styling is top notch. Performance is enough for passing on the interstate and fuel mileage is phenomenal. Hard to beat for a stylish every day driver.
Love the content as always 👍
Great video Joe! Camry looks sharper than the Accord. I wish that the Camry had the V6 and the Accord kept the 2.0, but I’m glad that they didn’t cancel them with another Crossover suv.
These camrys look very good. I agree about the honda handling as I own a 2019 accord sport 2.0 and very much enjoy taking it through the twisty bits
I’ve always had accords and really like them but I went with the camry this time. Almost bought the 2022 V6 but this was lower interest & so close to the same price with AWD & 47mpg. Enjoying it so far but still figuring things out with it
got mine more then a month ago i love the car it drives very smooth and comfortable the best part is it give me 53 up to 55 MPGs thats awesome.
That is so fantastic to hear! Thanks for sharing your ownership experience!
Great Video.
My 2021 Nissan Sentra SR goes back in Sept. Always like the SE Camry, but some of the new design elements I don’t love as much as previous gen. However, style wise, I feel this beats the brakes off the Accord. I feel Honda dropped the ball on the design. But also gotta let the drive do some talking too. Should be fun shopping coming up. Great work as always Joe and team!
I think once you see it in person things will all come together. Thanks for letting me bring it to you.
They need to make a GR Camry with 2.4L Turbo or TRD Turbo that would be nice..
or simply bring back the V6. it was right on!
I am not a fan of all these hybrid experiment cars. Just give me n/a with a regular transmission. Simple and reliable is that so much to ask anymore? What I do like is Joe's reviews. Thank you sir really good content all the time.
you're right, v6 and a 6 speed auto. i suppose i need to look at acura and lexus then.
I feel like they should have added led lighting across the board. The Honda accord is standard led no matter the trim.
That is an excellent point for sure!
Great car! I Love when you drive an "everyman's" car. This car is a steal.
Looks aggressive & cool colour, but the badge needs to be black!
That's just an easy cosmetic fix. Just paint the badge black.
Love, love, love the pro 18:58 wrestling elbows to the armrest! 😅
Thanks for letting me share the laughs and the cars with you!
Joe!!!Correction*** You do get the 12.3 inch screen with the Accord sport. 10:08
And the 12.3 on this SE is optional. Not standard equipment until you go XLE or XSE
I've had the Camry in the past but I think the '25 K5 takes it this year, getting it on wednesday :)
Drive the Camry first before you commit
@@jonathanratliff4780 I’ve always gone back and forth between toyota & kia with no problems but my last camry had several issues & the tech wasn’t all the way there for me. I understand the MPG is better with the Camry but I have bad luck with CVT transmissions and the warranty, value for dollar and tech/design of the K5 has me sold.
Kia over a Toyota is comical 💀
@jonathanratliff4780 OH, SHUT UP!! IF HE WANTS THE K5, LET HIM HAVE IT. I CAN'T STAND PPL TRYING TO PERSUADE THEIR AGENDA ON THEM!!
@@jraheemjefcoat429 go cry in a corner you’re typing in all caps like that’s gonna make your point get across more or something 😂😂
I'd still take a refreshed Model 3 Performance over both, though. Great video, Joe!
Thanks for letting me share it with you! Better bring the extra cash for that car.
Good luck doing a long road trip, you're going to be charging for hours.
Difference price points. The base model can do like 700 miles of range
The Model 3 gets the 7500 credit while these camrys do not. That is a big deal to me as well. Had they gone and done a camry plugin hybrid with 0-60 in 5 seconds then Id be looking at camry a little harder. I miss my TRD but the model 3 performance is just a much better car to me.
@@helderperez1474 That's what these people don't understand. If you change at home, the Model 3 is a no brainer. The performance destroys the Accord and Camry. People always worry about the outliers and act like they are doing 700 miles a day. And charging to 80% is not that long on a Supercharger . Otherwise, the rest of the time you wake up with a full charge.
This is one of my dream cars. Love it.
So far looks good.
Can you do a SE vs XLE vs XSE comparision video plz ?
You misspoke about the radio in the accord, the sport hybrid is the entry point to the 12.3 inch radio.
I got one of these Camry SE AWD 2025s and I gotta say, it's exactly like you said it is. I've been getting between 44 and 46 mpg going to and from work, and it's been a really relaxing experience driving it.
BYD QIN is half the price, the same size, and more intelligent. The key point is that it consumes 2 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers.
civics n camrys are gettin better
I used to be a sedan guy. Always wanted to get a Camry. But after I had my 2005 Matrix, I learned that if you can only have one vehicle, a hatch that you can open, fold down the rear seats and slide large cargo in the back, makes a sedan worthless.
Sure I'd get a Camry/ES 350 if I was to buy a third car. My second car would be something like a Mazda MX-5 or Lexus RC F.
Over the weekend I test drove a Accord Touring. Several decontenting ZONKS; no Home Link mirror, no Sirrus Satellite & the venting seats didn't work with a crap! Ends up being a hard pass!
And no Camrys to test drive anywhere, they hit the lots & SOLD!
I know how you feel about the Accord. I am not surprised there are no Camrys to be found right now. Give it a little time and I am sure things will come around.
I saw one of these the other day on the road the base models look bland unattractive, but when you upgrade to the luxury or sporty versions, they look really slick
You are so right about that!
When a toyota camry has got developmental resources with aero bits, you know the auto world is in a pretty good place. If you told me 25 years ago a camry would look like this, I'd have thought you came from the future, and I would be correct :) I'd have thought given the pedigree, the accord would have went this direction and the camry would have went more the way of today's accord.
Joe the 12.3 inch is standard on the accord sport and up I just thought that I’d let you know
Thanks for the heads up!
I have a 2020 Camry LE nightshade and love it. Thinking of trading it for 2025 XSE with Red interior.
I prefer the Camry over the Accord, but I think the Sonata needs to be considered as well.
That is an excellent point Lisa!
Wish they had a manual option, would be such a fun daily driver!
Purosangue in sedan form 🤯
POV on throttle is next level!!! Awesome review 💯
Thanks Duane for riding with me!
Joe should've zonk the pop rod. Sonata and K5 have struts.
That is an excellent point! This does get way better MPGs though then the two of those.
@RaitisRides True. But you have to admit. The styling of both Sonata and K5 is out of this world!
Much better looking than the current generation.
In red and new style this car surely looks way better then it likely is . Very good looking sedan . Best looking ca ary ever . I w uoukd hate it as a CVT but you wont look awful driving it while the trans makes awful sounds . Its slow and when going for quick acceleration of which 7 seconds is enough to get moving and droning and buzzing loudly when you ask it to the MPGS and price with the very handsome looks balnces it out . Looks cool even if it isnt .if you cant be cool you can look pretty cool IMO .
Is On-demand AWD? How it operates? AWD engaged automatically only, or we can manually switch between FWD and AWD?
Yeah, I would just de-badge that Toyota logo out back.
It looks better! But it is too heavy and the gas mileage is not that great. For a small engine and combined electric power, you would think the mileage would be higher than 44 on the hwy. My 2005 Acura TL with a powerful 6 cyl gets 32 on the highway. Sometimes more. Plus, you would think with electric power and gas motor it would be faster than 7 sec through the 1/4mile. So, its not that quick. Another issue is with all that "double technology" in the power train, Repairs will cost you! The older Camry was more simple. And the CVT transmission is not very stimulating to me. I like the new looks, but I think there are better deals out there.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insight on this one.
Been driving Hondas/Acuras since 1982. There’s a good reason for that. I just like the Honda/Acura interiors a lot more than Toyota interiors. Toyota probably has better power trains but the passenger compartments have an “Everyman” vibe of basic mass production. You have to upgrade to Lexus and they’re a lot of 💰.
I’m glad that I got the last gen V6.
Hi Raiti’s Rides
I hope you’re doing well. I’m in the market for a new family car and would love to get your expert advice. Could you suggest some of the best options available right now? I’m looking for a vehicle that’s safe, spacious, and reliable.
Thanks so much for your help!
Best regards,
Ahsan
Hi Ashan! Are you looking for a sedan or an SUV?
