- The Camry is now in its 9th generation, and has been redesigned to be a hybrid for any trim level. Many of Toyota's vehicles are now only offered as hybrids, so does this improve the Camry's driving dynamics? Join us for a Test Drive. Is there steering feel? Should Toyota make all the things GR?

Gentlemen welcome to California driving. What you just experienced is daily in this state
As a motorcycle endorser, that dudes pass on the turn was crazy
Yup, I see it everyday
A lot better than the hindu street chitters.
(Ignoring the entire front end of the car), I like this trend of the Japanese brands really figuring it out by refining interior and exterior styling, and getting rid of gimmicks or full EVs in favor of the hybrids that people have been wanting. Honda putting out that CRV and now Toyota with this release are making Low Level Luxury great again! Love the review, gents. PS: Todd, PLEASE keep the Hulk Hogan look
I like the front😭
If he adds a man bun, he fits straight into the Cali vibe. Start a collective/sect and revolutionise a coworking space. Date the youngest consultant where he meets his second wife.
Hybrid makes so much more sense than a full EV, given today's technology. Insanely good mpg, less polluting, no stress about finding a charging station in time or spending 45 minutes there, and your car won't weigh 5000 pounds.
Hybrid is slower than a Camry with V6. Hybrid has much lower horsepower.
Hybrid is more complex, maybe more chance for problems.
Hybrid needs a $4000 battery replacement after 8 to 10 years.
@@DerekDavis213 Less power yes but absolutely enough for everyday driving and if you want power and speed then you don't buy a Camry. Toyota Hybrids are known for being some of their most reliable cars you can get and batteries tend to last longer than that usually plus with all the money you save on gas and repairs, even with a battery replacement it's cheaper than a regular car. If you kept each car for 100,000kms the V6 you'd spend about $15,469.94 CAD in fuel vs only $8,499.96 in the Hybrid. That being said I prefer fun to drive gas cars, the GR86 would be my personal choice in a Toyota but Hybrids definitely have their purpose in todays world, I don't see why we can't have variety in what's available.
@@DerekDavis213 Toyota has the hybrid technology dialed in right. I know a guy who still puts 20k+ miles annually on his old-ass Prius and it still runs fine and is on original battery. Believe me, I love a good V6. My current Acura has a 3.5 V6. But it gets crap mileage around town and in commutes. You have to factor that into the cost as well.
EVs are about control and tracking you. EVs are damaging to the environment. Gasoline cars and hybrids are proven.
If emissions are fitted correctly then this will be ok for peoples health especially hybrid engines who produce less emissions.
At first, I thought you were overreacting, but then I replayed the video and saw the second motorcycle.
I didn't even see the second motorcycle until I read this comment and I had to replay that part
I thought so too until i read this comment and went back.
Thanks! Makes more sense now. missed that second motorcycle near that trucks front left wheel
Holy smokies!!!!
Hi, from Japan!! Oh, you guys have already tried the new Camry!! I’ve never seen it yet even though I live in Japan. Haha. Hybrid was used to be representative of slow cars but now Hybrid is one of keys which makes cars move fast. Interesting!! By the way, I’m glad both of you are safe at San Diego.
Holy crap. At first I didn't know what you guys meant with the motorcycle as the FIRST one that came into the picture was in its lane BEFORE the turn but I slowed the video down to 0.25x to see what was going on and I shouted OMG when I saw the SECOND motorcycle. That's absolute insanity caught on video. Enough said.
Oof, on a double yellow corner!?!?! Wow, don't see that often... That guy will be squid meat soon enough.
First time watching you guys and i love it. Great video and good descriptions and review on this new Camry.
Glad you found us and like what we do. New videos every week! Thanks for watching!
Always a solid choice in cars.
Currently have a Highlander and was pleasantly surprised it's on the line between fine and good. My wife loves it and is her daily driver so win.
I had to retwatch 4:03 a few times to even see the motor cyclist. That could have ended really badly if the semi driver cut the corner even slightly
I love these guys
Love seeing you guys are human and what was both of those incidents… wow huh?!
Love the work you guys do and the podcast is my absolute favorite!!
We glad you like what we do! Yes, a couple of very close calls. Thanks for watching and listening!
The best thing about the new generation is how they streamlined the trim levels to just 4. They had way too many trims and options within each trim before.
Gotta get the mic off the seat belt, there's lots of scratching in the audio.
Love the review. I listened to this in podcast form, and had to come watch the video.
That's a very good review.
The design of the new Camry has changed significantly, but I think it's good. However, I think the space in the back seat is a little small.
The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder hybrid uses Toyota's latest generation hybrid system, and I believe it offers powerful driving, excellent fuel efficiency, and environmental performance.
Did you guys get to drive or ride in an LE/SE without the acoustic laminated front windows? I understand the LE has 16” wheels and the SE has 18” wheels, but I was hearing some reviewers talk about the tire noise in the SE with the 18” Continentals and was curious how much quieter the cabin is on the XLE/XSE with the front acoustic laminated windows.
Hi it's fun nice review:) But the AWD model that you drove, is that XSE or XLE. The cover photo of the video looks XLE to me but the description (video title) says XSE. It seems to me that the FWD was XSE, but the AWD was XLE. Maybe that's why the steering felt like that maybe? In case someone makes a purchase decision based on that aspect of the car, I wish you could specify which exact trim it was. Thank you again for making fun videos! The Prius experiments you did were awesome too!
Sorry for any confusion. We drove the XSE trim in both FWD and AWD. A blue FWD and black AWD. Sadly, the closest footage available from Toyota was of the XLE in a teal blue. So while in some shots we might be showing an XLE, we are discussing our experience in the XSE trim. Thanks for watching!
Wow crazy close encounters of the wrong kind. I enjoyed the insights. Odd audio background in spots that sounds like someone writing on a digital tablet.
Pretty good Guys, thank you! Don't know much about Socal, but it's almost as pretty as Appalachia. Enjoyed it!
If I were shopping in this segment Camry would be the way to go. Hybrid with all wheel drive. Excellent review as usual.
So what is the verdict between Camry Hybrid 2025 and Accord Hybrid 2024 ?
From your Accord hybrid 2024 review it seems you two guys had more fun with the Accord.
Am I right ?
Nice Car on my 2nd Camry. Unbelievably reliable. Boring but low maintenance but solid daily driver. If you travel highway speeds 75-80 in the xle you're getting 38-42 on average. But for its size still great MPG.
So is the new Prius more fun too drive than the new Camry? I have a Corolla Hatchback. It may sound crazy, but that car handles so good.
I didn't understand why they freaked out so much until I realized after re-watching that there was a second motorcycle O_O
Yes! Same! As a motorcyclist, that was the worst thing you could do
I just bought the 2024 XSE Hybrid and other than the new infotainment, I don’t think I’m missing anything substantial. I do like what they did with this. But I love the aggressive styling of the 8th Gen.
3:53 Holy ShiT!
LOL! That censored reaction to that stupid driver earned you a new subscription! I felt you and I salute you! 🫡😎💪🏽😁😜
I was really considering one of these but the price went up to almost $45-$48k. Went with the Model 3 instead for around the same price.
Honestly i don’t understand why the last generation had a non hybrid 4 cylinder option, the hybrid was such a better experience vs a non hybrid 4 cylinder. The v6 will be missed.
cheaper starting price and less stricter cafe reg
They did have a hybrid option didn’t they?
Long term or longer term, in the case of Toyota, none Hybrid models tend to last more years…
If I’m not mistaken, 2025 Camry is not all new, just a deep face-lifted…
@@luisortiz6478 They did. He's questioning why didnt they make the hybrid standard last gen. It was an upgrade from the base N/A 2.5
@@luisortiz6478 they did, but the base non hybrid got much less mpg, had 5 less horsepower, and still had a regular key ignition and no keyless access. I had the Camry hybrid and it was very nice.
The Camry now has a Bangle butt!
They could have hybrid the 276 or is it 296 horsepower 2.4 l engine that's in the Tacoma.
Wow that’s a great color. I want it on a Supra!
I wonder if the new Camrys have improved on the interior’s fit and finish. I had the previous gen XSE and I was disappointed by the creaking and rattling sounds all over the cabin. The center console compartment, where your elbow rests never felt solid. High volumes would cause rattling in the doors.
Japan built generally is more solid but all cameras are built in Georgetown Kentucky
“Time to Get the H🔥LL outta Dodge! … I mean San Diego!!”
Thanks for a good review and the BEEPs too.
Goodness … glad you guys are ok though seriously
I like my Camry to be comfy! These 19-in wheels make me worried …
👏👏
Why does this XSE have the grille of the XLE. Are you all sure that was an XSE you were test driving?
The Toyota supplied footage was of the XLE, we were driving the XSE. Thanks for watching!
@@TestDriveVideos Thanks!
They should gr all their vehicles. I am upset that they dropped the six cylinder they could have made a hybrid of that.
As someone who's from San Diego... I get it. Driver's there kinda suck.
They do use the "Camry" in NASCAR, so I guess a GRamery isn't out of the question
those other drivers on the road are ridiculous
I thought the grill of the XSE was body colored, but yours looks black.
Most of the b roll was from the media packet provided by Toyota. The car driven was the XSE (see emblem shot of a different blue car at the beginning) while the car shown is the XLE.
The true GRamry would be the GR 3-cyl with an electric rear motor
Attention lane splitting motorcycle riders: it’s not IF you get in a wreck, it’s WHEN you get in a wreck. 1 is all it takes to become paralyzed or worse.
Must've been pretty bad on the roads out there, I've never heard Todd curse.
Looks like it has a big sunroof
Panoroof
Yes, I believe the pano roof is only optional on the XLE and XSE. The smaller sunroof that’s optional is for the SE (possibly the LE too?).
Wow, you guys encountered some real SoCal shit-for-brain drivers in this bit.
That’s everyday driving in SCal.
Just watched everyday drive and yours. Both are confused with California drivers LOL.
? - This channel and Everyday Driver are two parts of the same brand. Our guys both lived and drove in LA for a couple of decades, but this happened to be a surprisingly odd day on the road. Thanks for watching!
@@TestDriveVideos Sorry I mean the guy from Everyday reviews. The names are quite similar.🤣
The title of the video is XSE and this is actually the XLE and not the “sport” model mentioned in the video. It may have a sport mode though. Great review but wrong car in titles
We drove the XSE, and you’ll notice we had that logo shown off the darker blue car at the beginning. The footage provided by Toyota was for the XLE - sadly we had to do with the footage provided. Thanks for watching!
What is it about people driving badly around Camrys? 🤣
Topgun #1 old folks car 🥇
Haircut time! It’s 2024 not 1984! 💈 🙈
I want some of whatever that biker had for breakfast.
U might as wrll buy tesla at these price points
I hope that 10-year warranty comes into its own when someone buys a 11-year old hybrid Camry 😅
Guys
Both of you keep talking like you advertise yourself
I suggest if you both show the car more than showing your self talking and talking and talking
For me I prefer to keep the volume zero
When we have the car for our own shoot (instead of a press launch like this was) we have all our own footage to pull from and show the car the majority of the time. This one has less b-roll but there’s no choice based on what we had to work with. Thanks for watching!
Long term or longer term, in the case of Toyota, none Hybrid models tend to last more years…
If I’m not mistaken, it’s not all new car, just a deep face-lifted…
I'd still take the new Accord Touring
Still better than big 3
What gives the Accord the win?
@@MuniTechnology no definitive answer until a head to head is done but it looks like the Honda is more refined.... It definitely looks better in person than in video and the torque number (247 vs 163) is a staggering difference. If you don't live in a climate challenged area (I don't) then for me awd doesn't factor in.
@caf0011 I've only seen a few new Accords, but the first one was white, and it looked like a very expensive car. I don't even like modern cars in white. The AWD does give the Camry an edge for me, and Toyota quality is hard to beat.
@@MuniTechnology Toyota quality is damn near impossible to beat you are correct. I'm looking forward to the head to head. Six in one hand.... Half a dozen in the other.
Honesthy there isn't any car manufacture more exciting then Toyota....
Toyota Camry , NO GO !! AVOID buying !!
Why is that?
$38k is a lot of money for a Camry.
Unfortunately that’s just what the average car costs these days. Depending on what source you use, the average cost of a new vehicle in 2024 is $47-49k! Which means this comes in below average.
No its is not. Why is that too much for a Camry when domestic trucks are $60k?
Ur just out of touch. 38k for a car is average
Actually it is cheap. When you compare it to other cars, Camry is offering probably the best bang for the buck.
Especially that the buck is far overvalued, like most currencies in the world, as they are not covered by gold (or other real world value) and almost all governments printed (at least a few times more than needed) money.
If you have money in the bank use it to acquire real assets such as land, houses, gold or even top cars (Japanese, of course).
Those garbage they built at Chevy are high as well. Heck a Malibu is $32.5k. They couldn’t give thise away with cash back. I would rather buy a $34.5 XLE Camry with 0 option than a Malibu with $10k discount.
Thirty-eight grand for a Camry? Are you kidding me?
Right? And That’s not even with all the options. I went online to build the Camry with every package and it was 42000 😂
It’s actually a bargain, new car buy when you consider the average cost of a new car in 2024 is between $47-49k depending on sources. But I agree, cars have just gotten expensive in general.
@@kevinbonquyquy1047you shouldn’t pay more than 32 for a Camry… if you’re paying 40k for a Camry you need a mental evaluation
@@phattyhalesmost of those cars 47-49k are SUVs, evs, sports cars, or trucks not Camrys
Remember this is the upper level trim. Base model Camrys will start closer to 28 or 29
I’m sure it drives nice and is super efficient but you just made it expensive to fix when the electric motors fail. You added complexity which was one of the reasons it’s been so reliable, it wasn’t complex. What Toyota should have done was put a b48 motor in it. That will be way more reliable and more fun to drive than all the electric motors and non sense. You are already using bmw engines.
Toyota Hybrids are very reliable. People won’t be worried about that and Toyota has the proven track record.
@@brenttitus2134exactly. I will take a Toyota hybrid or even turbo 4 over those garbage what Ford, Chevy and stalantis offers.
Toyota engines are reliable. EV motors are reliable. Constantly charging/discharging the relatively small battery could be a cause for concern. But, Toyota hybrids are known to be reliable all around. I'd never buy a Stellantis hybrid.
The all new 9th Generation 2025 Toyota Camry is lame, slow, and ugly. Toyota changed the design, dropped Horse Power for the Pony Express. Do not purchase any 9th Gen Camry Hybrids, just not worth it. From a proud owner of an 8th Generation Toyota Camry XSE V6 fully loaded. A fully loaded 2025 Camry XSE Hybrid FWD MSRP of $41,647 with Delivery (basic with no packages or accessories MSRP $34,600 plus Delivery of $1,095 is total $35,695) and my 2023 Camry XSE V6 fully loaded MSRP of $41,305 with Delivery. Why spend more for a Hybrid when the Naturally Aspirated V6 is a thousand times better?
The Toyota Crown is a Clown.
Everyone is testing same XSE trim only 😏
