Toyota all the way. Eight speed automatic and no CVT. Subaru listened to their customers and made the turbo available but they turned a deaf ear to those same customers who didn't want a CVT.
Charles Davis - 👍Absolutely. Just purchased a ‘20 Camry SE Nightshade AWD (Silver) today. Traded in my CVT-ticking-time-bomb Nissan Altima ‘17. I hated driving that car not knowing when the CVT would fail. Now, I have a car with a REAL transmission and AWD. I could tell the difference immediately when I test drove the Camry. Wish I hadn’t bought that Nissan in the first place! Will pick up the Camry tomorrow.
@@americanedokko2782 kia k5 would be my choice- better warranty no cvt AWD and better quality than todays toyotas and looks better
As much as I love Honda, they need to seriously step up their Accord. The fact that Toyota now has a AWD and TRD Pro trims are crazy.
Honda will catch up eventually they alway do
Now, Toyota needs combine TRD with AWD.
The TX Channel why? TRD is slung too low to be AWD. Too gutless too
Dave Volz trd have the v6 with 278 hp? It’s not bad at all
you have to wait to check out Accord in 2023. I'm disappointed that they did not include the wireless Apple/android Play in CAMRY 2022 which is available on civic 2022. it's just a 1 K option.. overall 9/10 for a Family mid-size Car without headaches.
The Camry AWD is a great option. But I just recently purchased a 2020 XSE v6. The smooth v6 and the red interior just makes me smile
That $2000 that you saved can be used toward a nice set of wheels and winter tires anyways.
Too bad they don't offer the AWD on the V6.. it don't make sense not to...
@@sncnutrition7118 it’s fine for the Camry since a small percentage opt for the v6. Even the Avalon AWD w the same r cylinder is fine because it’s not drastically pricier than a high end Camry.
But the Lexus ES AWD that’s out now on the other hand, that’s not forgivable at all
I love V6, but I hate torque steer.
I want a camry v6 AWD 😢😢😢
Do you have $44,000 for a v6 AWD Camry?
Buy a Highlander. This is Camry V6 AWD
People always want what they can’t have. The 4 cylinder is probably more than adequate for how you drive. But you can’t brag to your friends.
@@alexbudin1590 they won't put a V6 with AWD, you either buy the 4cyl. with awd or, like you said buy a Highlander if you want a V6 awd. Toyota is smart
I do too.
The thing I like best about this channel is that you review cars (even ones that aren't super exciting) as someone who enjoys driving. I see too many reviews where the attitude is "if you'd consider a family car like this you would only care about cubic volume and comfort" when in reality, people who like to drive, but need a reliable vehicle with room for a family still want to know if you can left foot brake that Camry into a slide when the family isn't along.
I would take the Camry AWD over the Altima or Legacy for one big reason--the 8 speed automatic vs. the CVTs. Nissan's and Subaru's biggest mistake is wedding themselves to CVTs. Toyota will have a big winner here in snow country. The biggest dumb thing that Toyota does is the use of 19" rims and low profile tires on their higher trims. As an example, the retail price on a set of Michelin Crossclimate2 tires for the 19" Camry wheels is about 50% higher than for the standard 17" Camry wheel size. Worse yet, those low profile tires are way more prone to road damage and are more sensitive to temperature-induced tire pressure variations. A classic case of appearance over functionality.
Toyota and Nissan both put AWD on the lower spec engines because they sell well, but also to keep the average manufacturer fuel economy rates up. The turbo/V6 with AWD are thirsty.
Factory turbo are more Gas efficient than N/A. Why you think all cars are basically going turbo
geo745don You’re not too bright, are you?
Turbos are NEVER more fuel efficient than the same size NA engines. EVER!
Turbo engines are being used to replaced larger NA engines and that makes them more fuel efficient. For example: Subaru 3.6 H6 replaced by a 2.4 H4 Turbo or a Honda CRV 2.4 NA 4-cyl replaced by a 1.5L Turbo 4-cyl.
@@afcgeo882 your intelligence is lacking but that's ok, maybe in another 50 years you'll be on.par with society.
So a BMW 2003 M3 has better mpg than a 2017 M3.
Sounds funny when you trying to compare engine size with a litter plus of displacement difference.
geo745don Not only is my intelligence not lacking, but you clearly don’t know the meaning of the word “intelligence”. You are also a horrific writer. Seriously... 5 year-olds do better. What you wrote literally makes NO sense! Did you even graduate from HS? I’m guessing you did not.
@@afcgeo882 So a 2003 M3 is more Gas efficient than a 2017 M3. Next time your idiotic self should try to compare engines with approximately same change in size.
Of the people in comments comparing legacy to Camry it doesn't make sense. Camry is way more reliable than Legacy . That's a fact .
And bigger
And has more tech than the legacy. 360 cam, pano roof, head up display etc
This is fine for everyday use save gases , save life and it’s AWD for snow and rain .
Between AWD sedans, I would get the Subaru, but mainly for the 2.4 turbo engine, because otherwise I'd buy the Camry.
Rather take Camry compare to Legacy
@@toddlehman1 it may be better than the cvt, but not as good of an awd system compared to subarus. tough choice honestly.
OG1 Turbo is not good.
@Dika Vinci I think it really depends on where you live. If you live in a location that it snows but the roads or cleaned pretty quick then the camreys AWD system is plenty good. If you live in a place that is much snowier and isn't cleared as fast then Subarus AWS is definitely much better.
Subaru? Lol might as well buy American cars with that reliability
It is stupid to put Dynamic Torque Control on 2020 Toyota Camry AWD instead of putting Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD(TV-AWD) on the new 2020 Toyota Camry. Because it can give it more power and traction during heavy condition. They should have diff lock button just like Rav4 has. It will be a big mistake putting Dynamic Torque Control instead of Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD. The Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD on 2019-2020 Toyota RAV4 Adventure and Limited work the best in the snow and heavy snow condition. I hope they can change it in the near future. Thank you Toyota for bringing the Toyota Camry with AWD.
they should make a Station Wagon of this Camry with AWD.
It's called a Venza.
I would definitely consider a V6 AWD or the same 4 cylinder with a turbo at least.
Rommell Rodriguez Maybe a supercharger. My son just bought this awd Camry, it goes better than the numbers suggest.
6:08 0-60 in 9 seconds. Remember, Salt Lake City is at 4,200 ft of altitude where there is 13% less oxygen. You loose 3% of your horsepower for every 1,000 ft so there it has about 12% less horsepower. Something to keep in mind for Salt Lake City and Denver.
For the price, and no 300 hp V6 version, just walk over to the newly redesigned Subaru Legacy with its turbo 4....
Fully loaded for the same price.
But that Subaru engine isn’t as reliable. It’s not terrible but it’s still not Toyota reliability. I work on Subaru’s for a living
@@sneak916 yeah but it doesnt matter how reliable a car is if its boring to drive. At least with subaru i can get a manual and have a turbo. Not to mention the aftermarket support is far greater not only in performance but also style.
Sound Driven Official A car that will run beats a car getting fixed at the shop for headgasket problems
SlowFox Yes the percentages may have dropped but please look at the total sales for 2019. It’s not even close
@SlowFox Your information is false. Observe;
Toyota Camry - 336.978 (2019) 343.439 (2018) -2%
Subaru Legacy - 35.063 (2019) 40.109 (2018) -13%
Source;
carsalesbase.com/us-car-sales-analysis-2019-midsized-cars/#more-56069
Also when you give percentages as reference you have to keep in mind that
%1 of 10,000 = 1000
%1 of 100,000 = 10,000
The Subaru Legacy has a cvt vs a real up to date automatic. Might have more horsepower, but I’ll take the Camry.
Compare the AWD Altima, Camry and Legacy
I love Toyota and Honda, but with that said, the Subaru Legacy 2.4 turbo engine which has around 260hp with full-time AWD only gets 1 mile less per gallon than this Camry (24 in city). That is seriously impressive engineering.
The other cars you mentioned have cvt transmissions. A real car enthusiast would never buy a car with a cvt .
@@300zxdriver you could also say a real auto enthusiast would never drive automatic transmission
I love how your thumbnail reminds me of the old Toyota ads/commercials “Oh, What a Feeling! Toyota!”
Most people mainly pick Toyota for transportation. These buyers likely prioritize on reliability, safety, cost and comfort. Camry AWD is likely created to "retain" potential sedan buyers who want AWD as a safety feature. Time and sales figure will tell whether Toyota's strategy is good not.
If Subaru can do 2 motors with AWD on the Legacy, Toyota should have no issues. The one annoyance I have with Toyota is that competition has to always force their hand. But still a nice product I will seriously consider.
If you're looking for a vehicle based on AWD capability, Subaru all day long.
If AWD is just a feature you'd like to have on your new car, shop the cars like you normally would.
The Altima is nice, roomy, and gets decent gas mileage, and is pretty quick for a cvt.
The Subaru is loaded with options stock. It comes with a lot of features that you have to pay extra for when you get another brand.
Can't beat the Subaru when it comes to AWD though. Most of the other companies now offering AWD have a half-assed system. Not sure how Toyota stacks up, but I think it sounded like they put a cheap system in it, just so they could say they offer AWD.
The people who complain just never owned a normal car nor have the money for the v6awd car they're asking for.
Exactly. They can always go IS 350 awd
Yeah no.... I'm going for the Kia stinger since it has a larger engine and AWD. I would have liked to have gotten a camry v6 AWD if they made it, but they don't. So there you go, a complaint from someone who can afford a v6 AWD.
I will purchased a 2020 awd,Camry.
We need a v6 accord with a 6 speed manual and awd.
Just get a mazda speed 6 they're a little older now but you'll save money and could probably still find one in good shape. But instead of 6 cylinder you get a 4cyl turbo with a 6 speed manual and awd
Why no V6? The real answer: It will make it too expensive, everybody will see how ridiculous for them to charge a Camry the price of Lexus.
Exactly.
Precisely
That's why you just buy a Lexus. 38k vs 42k... Almost the same
So I can ask for toyota to add this option on my V6 Camry?
NA engines struggle in high altitude (park city), that’s where the Subarus and turbo engines shine. That said, I love my awd Camry and the power loss up here in park city is not that noticeable.
👍🏼 For disabling the Traction Control and the VSC and getting the Camry sideways!
Do they even let you fully disable it? Some cars are lock or only have reduced setting.
Every vehicle review needs this - or at least an attempt at sliding around. Slalom would be a great every vehicle comparison tool as well
They messed up the opportunity to have a V6 option AWD. That would steal alot from Subaru.
just get the is350 awd at that point the price for v6 awd would be too high for a camry
Subaru sold 35,000 Legacys in the US in 2019. Toyota sold 336,978 Camrys during the same period. Only the top two Legacy trims come with the turbo (vast majority of shoppers buy mid-spec or base model) so just having AWD on the Camry is already going to steal a ton of sales from Subaru. Toyota made the right decision. Leave it to someone who actually knows about the car industry, right?
Did you or anyone else there experience an overheating issue like the Nissan Altima had with the AWD system from last year?
For me I would still favor the Subaru over all others. But I love this review of the Camry as that is the daily driver for me right and my biggest gripe is that
I don't have AWD.
Didn't experience any overheating. I did probably 10 laps of the track without stopping to get those sliding shots and it never had an issue.
@@drivingsports Maybe, but not close to the stress of your off road course.
The AWD system on this car seems rudimentary enough that getting a FWD Camry with winter tires might be a better choice in terms of getting the actual car you want (V6? Hybrid? TRD? Whatever), while still handling winter weather and roads well. It would have been nice to see how the FWD models handled the snow/ice course compared to the new AWD model. I'm guessing not a huge difference. On the other hand if AWD is kind of a must have, don't you want the best AWD system available in a car?
Marc Bertucco Winter tires and FWD is enough for most people, yes. But winter tires and AWD is far superior. And if you live somewhere that’s gonna see 5” average every winter, I can’t think of a better way to spend $1,500. Better than spending that coin on something completely unnecessary like leather seats or a fancy sound system. AWD is t just for winter though. There are benefits in the rain as well.
At the end of the day, it’s $1,500. And I rather spend that and have it and not need it, then need it for that one faithful day and not have it. I’ve been stuck plenty of times watching my two front wheels spin and struggle with winter tires and think to myself, “if only I had AWD right here I could have saved myself 15 minutes” lol
I think you need to test 0-60 at sea level. Park City is at 7000 ft.
Park City is at 7 thousand feet above sea level. Salt Lake City is 4300
@@supaflywhiteguy7635 You are right. I don't know where I got the previous number.
Sounds like Toyota for the most part pretty well met what I believe is their goal for this car. A family sedan that's a better and safer for in bad weather. Just stay on road and don't get to crazy.
Plus how are they going to add the eco, normal and sport button to the upper trims but not the lower trims I just notice that.
I will get a 2021 Subaru Legacy Turbo. It will be my 6th Subaru. We change every 3 years. Totally satisfied. The Camry you tested lacks too many features and components when compared to the Legacy. The US price you quoted will surely make it more expensive in Canada than the Legacy. Camry is not a contender for me.
Michael Dolan Reliable and resale value.
Justin Xu actually i lease my present Legacy 3.6R and i will buy it back, resell it immediately. I expect to make between $2,500 and $5,000 profit after expenses. Yes they are reliable.
what a great looking car
You guy out there should waited for 2021 Toyota Camry model refresh coming this Fall 2020. I would wait for it that time. Thank you Toyota.
Toyota reliability wins out for me!
No V6 because thats getting into the Lexus IS AWD territory. If you want a sedan V6 and AWD you need to have to go Lexus.
Because the Camry v6 already costs 40 grand what's the point when the ES350 costs 42
Legacy XT (GT)..
Ideally the Legacy GT wagon but it no longer exists.
How about camry TRD AWD with ride height control?
All answers from Toyota: Muh S E G M E N T
That guy was such a bore.
Says in the video awd is a $1,500 option. I can't seem to build one that is less than $3,000.
AWD v6 or turbo i4 with AWD would be my wish. I'll take the slightly lower mpg.
Toyota Camry has a great name but recently bought a new 22 Nissan Altima AWD. After 2k miles I'm just loving it more but have yet to drive it in snow yet but guess I'll find out this winter.
Maybe this is an unreality bubble, but it seems like Toyota is more reliable and last longer on the road than any of it's competition. To me this makes the car far more valuable, it may not be as thrilling, it may not be as powerful, but if the thing will reliably go 200,000 miles that is a big plus. You hear stories how other cars will do it but my experience as they won't without major maintenance.
Awd hybrid 💖🥺will be nice or corolla awd hybrid
I have 2019 se .I’m very happy. Before this I have a 2011 Toyota Camry with 182.000 no problem
Lane tracing is not a major option
38,000$ is very expensive for a 4 cylinder camry. you can get a lot more car for that price, such as a new Subaru Sti. A camry is a great car but what makes it so great is the reliability it offers at the sub 30k price point. I cant imagine much of them selling for that price.
I’m currently torn between an AWD Camry and a WRX, I want the power of the WRX and the reliability and comfort of the Camry. Ive owned one of each of these vehicles, and have test driven the new offerings of the 2020 WRX and the 2020 Camry. Had the Camry been the V6, I would have purchased it on the spot.
Add A D3 tune to the AWD Camry then boom
Between the Nissan Subaru and Toyota, Nissan is out of the mix since they are not as reliable so it would be between the Subaru and Toyota. I would have to drive them both to see for myself. Hard to choose. Now that Toyota has added AWD they are closing the gap. Sure the Subaru has more HP but with all the stress on the engine how will that look at 300k? That is always my top priority.
Price is b.s. subaru legacy touring xt. 260hp 277lb ft torque. 34to36000. 24city 33highway.
Get yourself a pair of Blizzak Snow Tires and put them on a new Honda Insight and then save $12,000 which you could invest for your next car. You'd be getting over 50 miles to the gallon have an extremely sharp looking car with good driving Dynamics and you'd still go any place you need to go within reason. Why $38,000 for a Camry? Just over the top.
I would take the Legacy .... can we please get a v6 with awd any make? One day, I'm over the 4cyl.
So what this reviews tells me is that somewhere out there, there is a one-of mule AWD V6 Camry running around.
But jokes aside, this was a smart decision by Toyota. Before this even came out I already personally knew 7 people that were gonna buy it. I also recommended it to my grandma who was about to pull the trigger on a RAV4. I’m also seriously considering buying one. This is the first Camry in 15 years that I liked more than the Accord and the AWD only widens the gap. A Ruby Red XSE with AWD would be an absolute stunning buy. Add on some cross bars and my ski racks and it’s the perfect year round vehicle.
Why can’t they make the hybrid a AWD now that I’ll buy
I think they really want to have a good sale on this model.
what no AWD Camry in Canada ??? i checked Toyota.ca
I would get the Legacy XT
do you want CVT through ?
@@dacnien honestly for regular folks it really isn't bad. Maintain it properly it will last you long time.
Lies no one buys the legacy and certainly not the xt. The old spec b were cool.
@@dacnien I already have a Subaru Outback 3.6r with a CVT. Subaru seems to make a decent CVT. I know my car doesn't feel like it has one at all. I know I'm all for smooth continuous acceleration with out the jerkiness of a geared transmission.
The Subbie has 260 hp but it’s bolted to a CVT so it performs more like 220 hp
I'd get the Camry AWD because it's the most reliable car that will last more than 140,000 miles. but they should have it with TRD n V6. but want i really want is for the Camry to be rear wheel drive. let's make that happen.
6:14 this is what you are here for
What the hell? A crosstrek is probably on par with this.
I wish they had this color for the 2021 in the XSE AWD
Love ❤️ Camery tops down.???
How does it compare with the Altima AWD?
The Camry will last a lot longer, the Altima unfortunately has a CVT :(.
I brought a used 2020 Camry SE awd for about 28K. ONly had 10k miles on it. The thing is fun to drive. Sure 136 top speed is a littlw low, but man where this thing shines is cornering. It handles very well. Da has enough get up to make your gf scared with the 2.5l. I say wait until the next model year comes out and find the year you want for a few grand cheaper.
I want a Camry Hybrid AWD
TRD CAMRY NEEDS THE DYNAMIC TORQUE VECTORING AWD!!! Come On Toyota! 🙏🏼
TRD already has dynamic torque vectoring for the front. Relax
Daniel G No, there is no torque vectoring or LSD in a TRD Camry... and no AWD. Hence my request for them to give the DTV AWD to the TRD Camry... get it now?
Seems overpriced. Maybe lesser trim brings price to being more worth considering. Else you just as well have Rav4.
Just priced one out and its about $27k, but I don't want/need a top of the line Camry either, I just picked the LE AWD with standard options and it was about $27k. Not bad for an AWD sedan.
@@wildbill23c Is that retail or negotiated? Seems like decent value and more sensible price. I paid just slightly more than that for the '16 Outback Premium I'm still driving.
@@80srockerable MSRP.
My 2018 Subaru outback 2.5 premium with all the options is much heavier, longer (that's what she said) and taller than this awd Camry yet my outback gets 27mpg city and 32mpg hwy, its very capable when it comes to offroading especially with its 8.7 inches of ground clearance and can also tow 2700lbs, not to mention that it's also more affordable to get.
Subaru Legacy all the way! That 2.4 Turbo with their Symmetrical AWD is the best in the segment.
Toyota's 20% has entered chat
Subaru’s AWD on the Legacy is Front biased. The Camry is 50/50 power split front to rear. So there’s that...
Brodi Wheeler Wrong! You need to compare apples to apples. Subaru’s AWD system in the Legacy (with Traction Control ON) is a 60/40 split Front/Rear and will go 50/50 when encountering poor traction. However with Traction Control ON, Toyota’s system is front wheel drive biased and rear wheels will only see power when slippage is encountered. (Just like Honda’s AWD system in the CRV) A 50/50 power split in the Camry can only be achieved with Traction Control OFF.
@@zefolantar You forgot that the Subaru's standard Symentrical AWD with traction control off never really shuts off. Also the CVT is bad for performance and would overheat before Toyota's 8 speed transmission.
WarHmonger MATH First....like I said...Subaru’s is a 60/40 split in the cars, Forester, Outback and Ascent and I don’t know why you would want it to shut off. If you’re concerned about fuel economy, that’s not much of a factor because a Forester with the 2.5L 4 cylinder get almost identical gas mileage compared to the 2.5L 4 cylinder in the RAV4. Second....in regards to the transmissions....we are not talking about taking these SUV’s Off-Roading. During normal driving (winter or summer) a transmission will not overheat unless it’s being pushed very hard.
The V6 is too much power for the front wheels....the AWD would fix that issue and help with sales.....Toyota please make this happen!!!
I want to see Toyota build a modernized FJ40 to take on the 2door wrangler, the FJ43 with 4doors to take on the Wrangler Unlimited and the FJ45 to take on the Gladiator. An updated FJ line would destroy jeep. but they won't do it
Honda's Accord is on the phone with Acura division like Churchill to Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Darkest Hour
No V6 is a deal breaker for me. I'm sticking with my Toyota Venza V6 AWD or consider the Highlander.
If you want a Toyota Venza, please wait for it this year? Because they are making a comeback of new 2021 Toyota Venza. Stay tuned.
A little late to the awd game but hey. This will just make Subaru step their game up to lol
My thoughts as an owner of a 2011 4cyl Camry and a huge Toyota supporter and fan.
- very happy that Toyota made an AWD Camry and Avalon. Disappointed that the system is not full time AWD and that it is not the more aggressive of the AWD systems. I figure if they want to compete with a Subaru system they need to step it up b/c Subaru AWD is best in market so will give me second thought if I’m at dealers looking in that segment
- no way I’m paying 40k for a Camry
- don’t care for the sport mode or the sport look when they only give a basic 4 with no turbo. Can’t stand paddle shifters as I learned to drive on a manual
- overall I think they should continue w AWD systems for sedans but step it up if you want to see Subaru in the Northeast. Especially after going to VT recently and hearing everyone praise their Subie.
You clearly know nothing about AWD systems. All AWDs are “full-time.” That’s what makes them AWD instead of 4WD. Also, the Subaru’s system on their CVT cars is pathetic. This Camry system is actually more capable. Do research first, talk later.
I want the new 2022 CAMRY TRD to come with AWD!!!
$40k for a 4cyl AWD or 6cyl FWD or buy a Preowned Lexus ES for Lexus FWD with a V6 etc 🤔...smh
At 40k just get a Lexus
@@v8_sami my point exactly 😆
Will Toyota finally bring back a All-wheel Drive Wagon? Seems no reason to go to the trouble of making an all-wheel drive sedan (with split-fold down rear seat) without having a Wagon. (By the way BLACK is NOT sporty, just UGLY and a black roof which makes the interior HOT and uncomfortable, especially in the summer.)
Been looking at trading in my 14' FJ, was a great vehicle from 16'-20', not any more though!
My 2011 fj cruiser trail team rear axle mounts rusted out, only to have the right rear shock holding the body to the rear axle. I traded it in for a 2023 Camry SE AWD. I am getting up there in years, 69, so the comfort and gas mileage fits me perfect?
Why didnt they go turbo from the is200t🤦♂️. I thought it was ganna be 3.5v6.. No power that's jus lame
Reliability and maintenance of 2.0 4s is worse. It's fine for a premium car but not for budget car that starts at 22,000.
V6 AWD Camry would cost more than a Lexus.
Nice review. Being a former owner of Subaru Impreza RS, I'm biased towards the Legacy.
I'm surprised you got rid of it. I can't believe how good it handles in the snow with super aggressive tires. Got mine under 3000 pounds. My Ford feels heavy like a tank compared to the Subaru.
Camry awd - death to cvt transmissions
The Toyota guy seems clueless. Toyota (America) puts not the best awd system they have, into one of the most popular family sedans. That makes no sense. Family sedans should be the safest. We know they could’ve added a torque vectoring system in there just just saving it probably for a refresh. There is no way in hell I would ever pay 38k for a Camry. Can’t believe people actually would.
If a v6 awd is too much to ask, then make a 4Cyl awd turbo engine with more power!!
I'd go with a Toyota Camry XSE V6 FWD Black on Black I Love
From the Altima, Legacy and Camry I will gladly take the Camry.
The above order is also the order of increasing quality, with the Camry being the most reliable.
For years, the Legacy has been slow compared with the competition. Only with the latest gen Legacy, on the Subaru global platform, it is finally reasonable.
Finally, Subaru sells a lot of Outbacks and Foresters. Few get the Legacy.
Toyota sells a ton of Camrys.
A Camry is now pretty good vehicle, reliable and will retain its value for years.
No contest: Camry all the way.
People say there is no V6/Turbo, but they skimp out and never buy one anyway. I don't *need* the V6 and prefer to get the 4 cylinders.
David Lee True, I was one among the others test driving all three (TRD, V6& 4Cyl) FWD. bought home 4cyl 😊
If they put the v6 in it they’d be directly competing and beating Subaru at their own game
Wow! 38K for this 4 cylinder Camry AWD? For that, I'll go for the Rav4 Hybrid better fuel economy and more capable in snows and offer better height. LOL
Cuz you buying the higher trim bro, you can always go for lower trim LE
Oh what a feeling..Toyota?
I know they were going for the standard economy car that can hold up in all weather safety which has been proven.... front wheel and rear wheel isn’t that great in places that have snow and rain. Not a economy car turned luxury and or sports car.
Can you get it as the V4 AWD then do an after-purchase engine upgrade to V6?
Dont ever say V4. Its inline (I4)
I doubt it. Not only does the v6 need to fit in the Bay. Buy the transfer case and AWD system needs to be capable of handling 300hp. And it would probably be slower than the front drive v6 because of the extra weight
V6 Camry is what it’s all about.
“Appropriate for this segment” should be the camrys slogan...
I would take the Legacy AWD. It just has more to offer. The current Camry is meh all around. Reliable I am sure but it is just meh...
My first choice would be Subaru Legacy 2.5 N/A. I wouldn't buy a Nissan Altima AWD or FWD. So, the second choice is the Camry AWD.
But for $39K just get a subaru forrester, or something bigger.

@@xcen1 or just get a "$39k 2020 Forester" 🤦♂️
@@xcen1 _ I was answering the question in the video. Forester or Outback or Ascent are all good SUV choices not Sedans.
Why do people need a all wheel drive in a sedan, instead they can get a proper SUV.
Not everyone wants a crossover
Why is an SUV "proper" when a sedan isnt? I got an Impreza 5 door sedan instead of the Crosstrek because of the easier step in height for my wife and better handling than the higher Crosstrek.
40k? I’d buy Subaru for sure
The legacy AWD costs the same
