I bought my 2025 SE first week of June, looks exactly the same as the red one in this video minus I didn't get the sunroof or convenience package. I have 4k on the odo now and love it. Did tons of market research as this was my first new car and I needed the mpg. Drove this and a 24 accord side by side and the camry blows the accord out of the water every time from mpg, price, style, etc. Toyota did an amazing job with this car.

50 mpg in a full size sedan that does not share the aerodynamics of the Prius sold me. We are picking up the LE in Silver next week. The LE has everything you need including blind spot monitoring (optional on LE) and backup warning. Those two features are a must.
I bought one in red with the convenience package last week. I specifically wanted the 16 inch tires. It is a great car that comes with a lot. The ride is very responsive and not floaty and very quiet overall.

Just bought a 2025 Camry SE last week all black with moonroof and upgraded 12.3 multimedia screen and convenience package, the car is fully loaded and I only paid the base price $30,538 . Did not pay for the upgrades or did not pay any dealer aftermarket fees so far I am loving this car.

Does the XLE have more soft touch materials, etc.? Or are the only differences those stated in the spec sheet? Also, I suspect the XLE is not much quieter than the LE. The acoustic glass probably just makes up for the noise from the larger wheels.

I explain this in the drive part of the review and it’s very close with driving aspects. Both are smooth but any vehicle with larger wheel will feel a little more on the ride but ever with a sport suspension it’s close.
Gotta give it to Toyota. They truly made a Camry for everyone. Would like to see a wagon variant to be honest. I think they would decimate their competition even more.

I wish the Corolla hybrid had a bit more power and came in a hatchback. The LE with the added BSM, heated seats, and JBL makes it a $35K car after tax. I'm going to wait to see what I can get with the Honda Civic hybrid hatchback coming to the US later this year.
The Camry LE Hybrid get's better fuel mileage than the Corolla LE Hybrid and is quicker, bigger, and safer if you can afford the extra 3k. Camry also comes with a spare tire that the Corolla does not.
I just tried it on the SE at the dealership, so I can only say the SE has it. Hit the lock button three times, on the third time, hold until car starts, about 6 secs.
My son has a hybrid and his battery died which would cost him over $5000 to repair. He recommended that I not get a hybrid because of the high replacement.
Most car brands suck at making hybrids toyota has been making them for a very long time people have had there prius last 200k some even 300k miles till replacing the battery witch depend on who you go to is 3k
If there is not a drive shaft going to the rear wheels, why did they include a channel going through the back seat floor? Seems like they could have made that flatter.
As much as I like the XSE with all the bells and whistles, I’m beginning to think the LE is the best buy for people who live in Florida or other hot, humid climates--cloth seats may be the best pick. You could always buy some fancy seat covers. I think I prefer the smaller digital gauge cluster as well.
I’m hoping that everyone will recognize the lack of headspace caused by Those rediciluase sunroofs. Not to mention that almost all of them have some sort of leak. I would rather see more effort on useful amenities because most people hardly use them!
@@KirkAnderson-h5p that’s a long wait, I was at Toyota yesterday and they had 3-4 with more coming off the truck. Did you check local dealerships first?
@HawkeyeRides I checked from Renfrew, where I live all the way to Niagara Falls. They had three in Niagara Falls, but they were all sold. The majority of the dealerships of Toyota are empty parking lots. The dealership in my hometown has only three rav4 s and it's a big dealership. Lol sad.
I like the Camry better because it has more soft components inside as the RAV4 is more firm. The ride to the le or se both smooth and the MPG’s are great on the new Camry.
The 2025 Camry LE tires are 205/65 16. The SE tires are 235/40 18. Eve though the tire tread on the SE is wider by.79 inches, the Camry LE sidewalls are greater by 1.1 inch compared to the SE. That will give more flexibility over potholes and probably less likely tire/rim damage.
@@HawkeyeRides The downside of going on an options route is that the well where the spare tire is supposed to be stored has been repurposed to accommodate just the flat tire kit, and there's a good chance that the donut would not fit in there, granting that the Camry hybrids have been designed differently against the non-hybrids, particularly in that area. This is one of the turn-offs for me on the Accord hybrid.
Nice review Anthony. The MPG figures are amazing for a car that size. Personally the looks and engine are just bland. I'd for sure go with the Kia or so many other options instead. Happy weekend to you. It's nice and pleasant here and I hope that you are doing so great!
I was wanting it to be a little different not on cvt but maybe down the road. It’s back to hot temps but starting to get used to it now. Thanks James have a good weekend too.
There's only a couple of reasons that hybrid is not a good option. Only one long-term. There's technically less repairs needed, but the repairs that do need to be done cost more. If the vehicle will sit for extended periods of time like weeks to months and if you have a heavy foot you won't see the mpg that's listed.
@@andreaweeks4449 if you go 70 mph or faster you might only get 40 mpg. Definitely use ECO mode if you’re on cruise control. Mileage drops in really cold winter due to heater and affects on driver battery chemistry. When I first got my Avalon hybrid, I drove it like I stole it because of the great low-end torque. Once I started driving it like a hybrid, I had great mileage. Slightly apply brakes to use the regenerative braking and coast downhill.

You are right, i was very dissapointed with Toyota using now a ecvt instead of automatic transmission in the Camry, I am not saying it is bad, but if you know about transmission then u know the big difference.
I just purchased my Camry se 2025 fwd with out the door price 34500$ which includes extended warranty bumper to bumper (7 years /100k miles ) thinking of canceling tgat warranty which woukd put me at 31700 out the door price
Thanks , do you think 31700 out the door is a hell of a deal ? All my frnds say it’s a hell of a deal but my gut says I woukd had made at 30k or 30500$
@@nnamdiubbaonu4381 I would do it aftermarket for interior and make a deal with your dealership to change wheels. Now you have a unique le and save on adding any package.
Yeah they should I went last week and they had a lot of LE but I didn’t check if it had it optioned. The contact information is on the description and in the video.
The e cvt transmission is a marble of engineering and its probably the most reliable transmission from the world, so don't be scared when hearing the name e CVT in toyota hybrids
I will never buy another cvt or ecvt myself as you still need to service them more than a normal transmission, the life is never as good and the cost to repair is 2 times more to repair which you get a refurbished one or new one only as no one will fix them. As most new buyers will probably never keep the vehicle this long but the second or third buyer will and for it to last service is due every 30k where a traditional transmission is 50k and the life of a cvt / ectv is around 90-150k opposed to 150-250k 👍
You need to look into the difference... everything you said is true for CVT but false for eCVT, which is electric motors and planetary gears mimicking a CVT...simpler and more durable than a conventional automatic.
@HawkeyeRides do you know how ecvt's work? It has nothing to do with a cvt even though it's in the name. The ecvt is probably going to be the most reliable transmission ever made.
We own 2 eCVT They are not belt and pulley garbage like Nissan. These transmissions are built with planetary gears. TH-cam has great videos by a Weber State professor tearing down the transmission. After you understand how they are built you will have zero concerns and in my opinion after driving one for 4 years they are superior to the constantly shifting 8 speed Toyota transmission.
@@rncondie I have explained it in near full detail in another comment. But here it is: It’s a ecvt which is different from a cvt but service is still required about 10k quicker than a traditional transmission like a 6 or 8 speed with gears. The ecvt is better than a cvt as the cvt uses a pulley system with cones connected by belts to change gear ratio. Which requires service around 20-30k. The ecvt is different as it uses a planetary gears instead of a drive belt and conical pulley arrangement and uses different input to get the most efficient gear ratio. But if they go bad, it’s expensive to fix as they sell you a new one or refurbished one. With a normal transmission you can fix the gears or internal problems (rebuild) so it cost less and is known to get a longer life. The ecvt is a lot better than a cvt but not as strong as a zf transmission which is know for 250k plus miles and service every 50/60k miles. Thanks for sharing your ownership insight 👍
No matter what brand or model of vehicle, never choose the bottom trim. This is true with the Toyota models as the Camry LE is 100 percent garbage. For a few $100 to $1k more, you can get a much better vehicle such as the SE and XSE. Skip both the LE and XLE. If you can afford it, the best deal is the Top of the Line Trim level. Now that the 9th Gen. 2025 Camry Hybrid is here, it is the most pathetic design inside and outside that Toyota has ever done with a Camry. It is super ugly. I also despise all Hybrids and EVs. The only 2 positive perspectives of the 2025 Camry Hybrid it does provide you with a Fully Digital Instrument Cluster Display and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. Bottom line, I would never purchase the 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid or any Toyota Crown the Clown.
Normally I would say the same but because the new Camry is all hybrid it doesn’t really matter the trim unless you want the upgraded features and a sport tuned suspension. If I was buying a hybrid I would go as less as possible as the Camry doesn’t change any performance and if you go se you can add features which will be more than enough for a 30ish grand vehicle.
Most reviewers and the mass Public wouldn't agree with almost every reviewer has praised the value redesign and looks of the new camry also the jump from le to se is 2300 witch is significant for most people and evey trim jump is about 2k also most people have no problem with hybrids if there reliable as for evs yeah I hate them to but hybrid alows for 50mpg witch is one of the most important factors for a daily driver witch the camry is you want a fun car buy a car meant for that like a supra or mustang or a gr corolla or supra

I just purchased my Camry se 2025 fwd with out the door price 34500$ which includes extended warranty bumper to bumper (7 years /100k miles ) thinking of canceling tgat warranty which woukd put me at 31700 out the door price
If you are not planning on keeping it too much over 3-5 years I wouldn’t add it. Congrats they are nice
Thanks , do you think 31700 out the door is a hell of a deal ? All my frnds say it’s a hell of a deal but my gut says I woukd had made at 30k or 30500$
@sunnithreddy6505 any added packages?
No not any extra packages , usual packages with the car no extra added
Msrp was 32990 on sticker
Which ever one that has leather interior and better mog
Near of these have leather but the MPG’s are better on the le
Looks like the crown
It does share some similarities
I wish there was an option to get an le with black rims and soft-tex seats 🤦♂
@@nnamdiubbaonu4381 I would do it aftermarket for interior and make a deal with your dealership to change wheels. Now you have a unique le and save on adding any package.
Or they could make a max hybrid or prime Camry
This is true
Hopefully that's the next TRD.
Go Bucs!!!
Oh yeah 👍
@@HawkeyeRides how many SE’s are on the lot?
It's funny the LE is the fastest Camry and has the best mpg
@@MrBacchus18 the le is an awesome vehicle
38000 k for I SE hell no
@@brianorta3638 thanks for sharing
@HawkeyeRides - Unable to locate LE w/moonroof. Can Gettel get one?
Yeah they should I went last week and they had a lot of LE but I didn’t check if it had it optioned. The contact information is on the description and in the video.
wow 35k for se grade is crazy
It is a refresh 👍
I just got my2024 camry se push button start,remote start, nightshade, heated seats and wheel,rubber matts,Matt's, and radio 30,000 out the door
@@user-pn5fk8db9q wow how did you get a discount on a brand new model. which state/city did you buy it in
Yikes CVT, no thanks. I would rather have the prior generation with the 8 speed automatic
It’s a ecvt but i like the 8 speed too
Probably be my last toyota because I can't get the car the way I want it
They are nice vehicle 👍
Most grandparents won't care one way or the other.
😁👍
Every year the headlights keep getting smaller
@@henryterrell7952 that is a good point 👍
The e cvt transmission is a marble of engineering and its probably the most reliable transmission from the world, so don't be scared when hearing the name e CVT in toyota hybrids
I will never buy another cvt or ecvt myself as you still need to service them more than a normal transmission, the life is never as good and the cost to repair is 2 times more to repair which you get a refurbished one or new one only as no one will fix them. As most new buyers will probably never keep the vehicle this long but the second or third buyer will and for it to last service is due every 30k where a traditional transmission is 50k and the life of a cvt / ectv is around 90-150k opposed to 150-250k 👍
You need to look into the difference... everything you said is true for CVT but false for eCVT, which is electric motors and planetary gears mimicking a CVT...simpler and more durable than a conventional automatic.
@HawkeyeRides do you know how ecvt's work? It has nothing to do with a cvt even though it's in the name. The ecvt is probably going to be the most reliable transmission ever made.
@benaiahreid3291 yes I know I just don’t like them if that’s ok with you?😂😂 check my community tab I give a quick explanation.
One gets better mpg and is cheaper. Enough said.
Ok 👍
Who want hybrid take gas anytime
Hybrid is the future unfortunately most car manufacturers are gonna transition to hybrid vehicles
It’s the hot vehicles right now 👍
2025 year and rear blinkers are not in led technology...yellow bulb... Omg
Places to find savings 👍
Paint the LE wheels black. Done
I’m sure the dealerships would do it or just go to a aftermarket shop
the LE is Weak
All of the Camry models have the same performance 👍
Neither. Cringy Toyota ads are turning me away
@@oghl888 awesome vehicles 👍
35k 😂😂😂
Almost kill my bank account
Before Camry start at 27-28
Next 2026 maybe 40k
😢😢😢😢
Doesn’t mean you can’t work a deal 👍
It's the same price as the old camry to start 28k
Toyota loss my next new car buying due to ECVT!
I’m not a fan either
We own 2 eCVT They are not belt and pulley garbage like Nissan. These transmissions are built with planetary gears. TH-cam has great videos by a Weber State professor tearing down the transmission. After you understand how they are built you will have zero concerns and in my opinion after driving one for 4 years they are superior to the constantly shifting 8 speed Toyota transmission.
@@rncondie I have explained it in near full detail in another comment.
But here it is:
It’s a ecvt which is different from a cvt but service is still required about 10k quicker than a traditional transmission like a 6 or 8 speed with gears. The ecvt is better than a cvt as the cvt uses a pulley system with cones connected by belts to change gear ratio. Which requires service around 20-30k. The ecvt is different as it uses a planetary gears instead of a drive belt and conical pulley arrangement and uses different input to get the most efficient gear ratio. But if they go bad, it’s expensive to fix as they sell you a new one or refurbished one. With a normal transmission you can fix the gears or internal problems (rebuild) so it cost less and is known to get a longer life. The ecvt is a lot better than a cvt but not as strong as a zf transmission which is know for 250k plus miles and service every 50/60k miles.
Thanks for sharing your ownership insight 👍
No matter what brand or model of vehicle, never choose the bottom trim. This is true with the Toyota models as the Camry LE is 100 percent garbage. For a few $100 to $1k more, you can get a much better vehicle such as the SE and XSE. Skip both the LE and XLE. If you can afford it, the best deal is the Top of the Line Trim level. Now that the 9th Gen. 2025 Camry Hybrid is here, it is the most pathetic design inside and outside that Toyota has ever done with a Camry. It is super ugly. I also despise all Hybrids and EVs. The only 2 positive perspectives of the 2025 Camry Hybrid it does provide you with a Fully Digital Instrument Cluster Display and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. Bottom line, I would never purchase the 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid or any Toyota Crown the Clown.
Normally I would say the same but because the new Camry is all hybrid it doesn’t really matter the trim unless you want the upgraded features and a sport tuned suspension. If I was buying a hybrid I would go as less as possible as the Camry doesn’t change any performance and if you go se you can add features which will be more than enough for a 30ish grand vehicle.
Most reviewers and the mass Public wouldn't agree with almost every reviewer has praised the value redesign and looks of the new camry also the jump from le to se is 2300 witch is significant for most people and evey trim jump is about 2k also most people have no problem with hybrids if there reliable as for evs yeah I hate them to but hybrid alows for 50mpg witch is one of the most important factors for a daily driver witch the camry is you want a fun car buy a car meant for that like a supra or mustang or a gr corolla or supra
2024 v6 this 2025 Camry will die in 2035 lol
The v6 was a nice Camry
I always bought Camrys.
No more. Too much garbage.
The updates will not be for everyone 👍
