I love the limited tech on this car personally. I don't need it all. All I need is comfortable seats, a great sounding engine, and a great speaker system. Looks like a great vehicle
@@MyShawn82 It would be way too much money. We have a 2019 XSE loaded and it was 39k but Toyota gave almost 6k off the price. These TRDs are going for 29,900-32k in South Florida. If it had XSE features it would be over 40k. We also have a 2019 Camry SE and it has the blind spot monitoring+ rear cross traffic alert and The braking/radar safety features and convenience package and honestly it is really enough. Honestly the 360 camera and heads up display on the XSE isnt worth the extra couple of grand.
xxk4rilsxx I was gonna ask if you think I’d be worth it? For me personally I like my balance of luxury and performance and I hate when companies do one or the other. I’d pony up a little more for a little more features in the cabin

A v6 Camry at 4grand off that stops and turns better. Whats not to like? I'd like mine in black or dark grey minus that god awful rear wing. Reminds me of an old 90s Maxima SE
Yeah. I believe even the V6 Camry sells alone are only like 20 percent at best. Theres a lot to like here but let's be honest only people who are going to buy these are young Toyota boy racer fanboys. Most would just go for a 4 cyl or standard 6 or hybrid .

Buy a Lexus at that point man. The thing with Toyota is they have shitty ass lexus as well so they never want to engineer these vehicles to be the best they can be. Same with honda and acura. Except acura sucks ass at designing sports sedans. Lexus are nice vehicles but they come with a price.
Lethal Redd It’s a tremendously reworked and improved suspension, new wheels, tires, new exhaust, etc. For anyone serious about driving or even auto cross style racing, it’s a damn good value. The car is functionally better. If you want a drag racing car, go buy one. This is no different than packages you can buy from Ford, Chevy, etc.
@@KZSoze that's cool, but I was expecting more as this from TRD USA: At TRD, we realize true enthusiasts are always looking for extra performance. That’s why we offer a wide range of engine and driveline accessories: Everything from high-performance clutch kits for higher torque capacity to quickshifters that deliver faster, positive shifting with a 20% shorter throw. TRD also offers high-performance differentials and TRD Metal Head Gaskets that handle higher cylinder pressure and heat. So if you want to inject more fun into your driving, turn to TRD, but they put none of that in that the car, not even an upgraded air filter.
@@LethalRedd The car is by definition, higher performance by way of dramatically reworked handling, suspension, aero kit, brakes, tires, etc. Thus, on a track, it would be faster. However, on a drag strip track, it would not. TRD used to love to offer superchargers and accessories quite a bit. Everything from Tundras, to Tacomas, to Scions, etc. The problem, for one, is, not a lot of people really buy them. It's like people who complain about the lack of manual transmissions, whilst not buying them. Chevy will sell you a performance or track pack, or packages which are not necessarily horsepower upgrades. Ford will give you a performance package via Ford Racing, that may not be an actual horsepower bump. I grew up thinking my father lived in the golden age of muscle cars, and performance. However, I've come to understand, we have far surpassed that, to the point that a family car, a Camry, in this TRD configuration, for as little as 31K, on a stock motor, can easily run with the fastest production cars of the golden age. And somehow, it's highly reliable, has great resale, and properly cruising can get 30+mpg. An XSE starts at 30K. This car starts at 31K. The damn thing is a deal, anyway you slice it. Now if you want to talk about the TRD 86, I'm all for it. Brakes, tires, decals and some paint, is not my idea of badge worthy.

@@bryan8404 they had no choice, to develop a new inline 6 from scratch is hella expensive especially if it's for one vehicle only (bare in mind toyota used the 2jz in many other cars not just the mk4 supra) so they needed another to do it for them, a company who already makes inline 6 engines currently, all I can say is toyota put some thought to it and at least kept it a RWD, inline 6, 2 door sports coupe unlike Mitsubishi with their shitty eclipse cross
SKY's Channel I think they should have gone with either a lip spoiler, a ducktail, or a big wing like an STI. This one in neither here nor there. Looks weird on this big of a car
SS103 Highly doubt it was the 350 lbs. torque vs or even the new High Performance pack, the regular ones from 15-17 could be sluggish so I believe that
Boogie, champagne taste. Those bsw mirrors are like $1200 to fix out of warranty. Panoramic roof looks good but they're almost $2k to fix if the track goes bad. It's a cheaper alternative for a v6, all those extra features are want base and not a need. HID lights last longer than LED and provide better lighting. I know full LED gives vehicles an upscale look but they belong on higher trim vehicles. Those LED lights are over $100 a piece just for the bulbs plus extra just to get them change. They don't last, bunch of vehicles with led have one eye now.
Not really that funny. It's 2020. They should be full LED by now. Hell, even many pickup trucks have gone full LED. And that's the last line of vehicles I'd expect to adopt that.
I'm still driving my 2008 Camry for almost 12 years now and it's still working perfectly. It's nice to see how the Camry has evolved thoughout the years.
If they would have did that this car would have easily went into 45k. They did the LE because it’s the lightest model they want this car to be about performance
Beautiful car, they always do a good job with the throaty sound of the trd exhaust. I think they made a good decision going to the smaller rear spoiler. Those floor mats are NOT worth the 200 dollar up charge. The biggest draw back for me is not having a manual or standard transmission , I’m sure any racers would agree with that. Would have made this vehicle more fun to drive!
So this is basically just a body kit for the camry? Same v6, same hp, same transmission, same steering ratio, no limited slip diff, just add some wheels and spoiler and call it a day? wtf
Yeah you're right Sofian. Car looks good, but how the hell it doesn't have the full led lights. That and no heated seats. They need to correct that on there next refresh of this car.
Why is "SPORTY" now required for all cars to win in reviews these days?? And a car being comfortable and doing its job as an automobile without breaking down is not???
@@bitcoochie4093 what's your definition of a real car? Not everyone can afford other luxury brands (which will break). This camry is a sporty looking one that will last longer than most cars.
Sof, I've become a recent fan of your channel. I was really hoping that you reviewed this car, as the Mrs. and I were curious about a "real world" replacement for my 2019 Mustang GT-p. I feel your reviews are honest and to the point. WE thank you for that. Keep up the superb work!
I just Bought my 2020 Camry TRD 3 days ago,, I love it,,Major upgrade from my 2015 Altima S . I honestly don't care about the inside frills. Yes it is plain on the inside but for $31K you couldn't ask for a better engine and overall performance not to mention the head turning exterior with that sexy spoiler. My car is the Supersonic red color. very happy with it .
the main reason why they didn't do a whole lot with the interior is because you have to realize that they're trying to keep the costs down while also adding those performance upgrades as well. if they added all those features from the xse trim with the TRD, the car would be outrageously expensive. I think for everything that you get with this car it's a very good combination..
"...We purchased the Camry for $26,968 and traded it in for $13,000, about 2.5 years later and with over 42K miles on the odometer. These miles were well above average and affected the Camry's trade-in value. That said, we could've easily gotten a few grand more on the private market if we would have sold it ourselves. Profit versus convenience is something owners have to decide for themselves. It ultimately equated to 51.8% depreciation. However, it is difficult to compare this outcome directly to the result for any other long-term car because we typically keep a long-termer for just 12 months or so. Edmund's longterm
Well, actually...it's still your grandma's car. This car makes no sense, why take a large, slow, heavy, 300hp car, throw some suspension bits and aero at it and call it "sporty"? I never thought we would see Toyota pushing such a gimmick car for revenue. This and the Avalon TRD, both are large underpowered sedans that have no business having the "sports sedan" moniker. Seriously Toyota, next time give a horsepower bump if you want to call them TRD and sports sedans. Otherwise, most car enthusiasts just laugh at the idea of Toyota or Avalon TRD cars with no power increase. Let's be honest guys, it still is very much your grandma's car.
Stereo Typist That must be tight, because I had an Accord (latest gen) 2.0t model as a rental for a few weeks and it felt A LOT more cramped than my 7th Gen Sonata Limited 2.0t (in regards to front legroom, didn’t care for testing the back) to the point that during my 1.5 hr commute to work id be more uncomfortable. And I was going to purchase the Camry XSE too. Good to know.
Africa has alot of cars so I tend to strongly disagree with @chocolatewheelchair. In Kenya alone we've got 4 million registered private vehicles most of which are Toyota since they are relatively easy to maintain than other brands. I personally owned a Jaguar F-Type and it was a nightmare like yes the car was great but the roads here aren't fully suited for it. Eventually I had to replace it with an F-Pace which is super better but I still have tremendously high respect for Toyota brands. Redline actually influences most of my car buying decisions, I rarely buy a car that Sofyan hates or let's just say I don't buy a car that he hates 😂.
There is no point in adding more power if the V6 is unable to put down 100% of it's power with an open differential. The traction control cuts back a lot power to prevent wheel spin. Toyota needs to include a limited slip differential and an ECU and transmission retune.
I got an 2009 Camry and love the look of the new ones. I did not get a new one because of the lack of HP and TQ. Instead, I got a Q50 RS. I wrote in to Toyota Corp and expressed my concerns with the brand. I felt that both the Camry and Avalon needed a performance boost to stay ahead of upcoming competition. During this time, Kia and Hyundai were really starting to push. My vision came from the TRD Camry sleeper. Toyota did listen to me, but the performance was not what I expected. The TRD versions of the Camry, Avalon or even Corolla should have the most power and be the fastest. Making it the same as the XSE and XLE made no sense. Neither did 301HP/267TQ . I understand these are considered reliable family sedans and could not expect too much at one time. One of the reasons Toyota didn't really add too much is because they don't want to surpass the Lexus brand which can also use a performance boost. Some people are like well get a Lexus or just get a faster car. No, they're missing the point. I love the Camry. I love Toyota. So please write in and voice your opinions to them because they do listen a little. I am still trying to push to get the Camry supercharger back on the market here in the USA. When they put out a better stock product, I might get one in the future. Still a nice car though.
busywl69 let’s be honest for a sec. if you’re gonna spend money on something like this, the Avalon has a more aggressive design and better interior than the Camry. I like the Camry overall don’t get my wrong but the front end being so narrow and those headlights I’m not digging it and those taillights that take you back to early 2000s “mods” not doing it justice. The instead of the “wing” I’d like to see a tip on it give it a cleaner look & feel.
@@marcelinolopez52 true, but its a niche car though (still family), for those who find regular camrys to pedestrian but still giving you good gas mileage and a comfortable drive with toyotas reliability (non cvt engine model) when owning it out of warranty. If one has Avalon cash they go to the Lexus store and finance a bit more for a IS or ES. Its what the Avalons purpose is, well at least to me.
First saw this Camry in Celestial Silver Metallic/Midnight Black Metallic. It cruised by and I remember thinking, "omg, that car is super nice"! Not sure I'll ever own one...but love the look!
Hey man sorry to ask I’m been meaning to get one these as my next car mostly for how reliable they are but I really like how it looks how’s do you like it so far ?
JustAnotherNewYorkCityRAT .... I don’t know why you went there, I have no clue what this TH-cam host personal preferences are and I don’t care because it’s none of my business. However he reminded me of him because of his voice and his looks that’s it.
I own a 2021 with the added bling spot and different raised info system. I use to own 2 Sti’s and at times missed the awd and maybe 50/70 more HP for this car would have done it some justice. Hope to keep it and not get bored. But I do get plenty of head turns. Not a Hell Cat but nice looking
I think the team did reprogram the transmission so that you can hold revs higher and slightly longer at redline (in manual shifting mode), and the car will not immediately auto upshift for you when you're gunning the engine. I've been watching some other reviews prior to this one, and I have definitely seen people bounce off the rev limiter in paddle shifter mode. This is something that you can't do in the normal Camry.
Thanks for the review. I LOVE! It and it is an incredible value for the performance, practicality and the reliability you get with Toyota. Toyota really hit it out of the park with this one.
Well, I test drove a 430i, C300 a Q60 , a Lexus and settled on this Toyota TRD. It has just as many refined moves as the German cars, handles just as well , has a great engine and cost twenty thousand less. By the way, people love to look at this car while I’m driving it. It is a very cool looking car. Also, I love that it has a primary chain, thrives on regular gas and has a more simplified dash panel. I think you were a little harsh with your critique but then again I’m willing to bet you never owned a Toyota. I also have a bad ass FJ Cruiser which will topple any of its competition. JMHO
Cornelius Hannah oh it is 👍, I’m a current Hyundai owner (18 Sonata) and after seeing how ugly the new 2020 sonata is I’m either getting a Tucson or switching over to Toyota
Honestly I like the fact that they didn't touch the engine and trans. I think most people who buy carmys buy them for reliability. If they added a turbo or changed the engine and trans in anyway that would bring up some serious reliability concerns down the road. You really don't need a crazy fast car in the US to have fun. This thing is fast enough, sounds good and handles well. Lots of fun to be had. You really get the best of both worlds. I love this thing.
@@Toyota4Life nah, according to the lie detector test, he's telling the truth. I use to be hard Toyota and Lexus fan and would defend them but over the year's their popularity level has declined for me. If this car is a TRD then the engine and suspension needs to match the badge and not just for aesthetics.
WHen I first saw the XSE not gonna lie, I actually thought it looked pretty sick. The TRD design looks even better. And another thing i never thought id say is I actually like how this camry sounds. Though they should have turbocharged it.
Reminds me of my '05 Corolla S (which I still have), FWD, stiff steering, just more HP. I would have it on my list. Definitely would like to see the other submodels
I want this and with red leather. Speed isn't the biggest deal for me. It just looks so cool. I just got my first car. A 2013 Camry Sports edition. Grey body with tinted windows and black rims and black interior. I think the Ted should have fog lights replacing the little fake vents near the bottom.
Toyota based the TRD on the SE trim to cut costs, a XSE V6 is already around $40K MSRP - add TRD package and it’s already more expensive than a Lexus ES350 F-Sport ($45KMSRP)
Was looking for a new car after owning a 2003 Camry with 250,000 miles , this would have been my go to if it came in manual transmission. Went with a wrx instead
Was just ready to comment on how much I finally liked a Camry's looks.......then you went and opened the door to the cabin. Walking up to you're 2020 Camry and step inside to a 2017.
I love the limited tech on this car personally. I don't need it all. All I need is comfortable seats, a great sounding engine, and a great speaker system. Looks like a great vehicle

Exactly... I was like HUH..... WHY??? You had one job lol
Right lol 😂 no xse features... so dumb!
Literally my deal breaker, it hurts 😂
@@MyShawn82 It would be way too much money. We have a 2019 XSE loaded and it was 39k but Toyota gave almost 6k off the price. These TRDs are going for 29,900-32k in South Florida.

We also have a 2019 Camry SE and it has the blind spot monitoring+ rear cross traffic alert and The braking/radar safety features and convenience package and honestly it is really enough.

Deucalion Toyota lost it’s touch . The old Supra I agree and the new one is a bmw ...
@@bryan8404 they had no choice, to develop a new inline 6 from scratch is hella expensive especially if it's for one vehicle only (bare in mind toyota used the 2jz in many other cars not just the mk4 supra) so they needed another to do it for them, a company who already makes inline 6 engines currently, all I can say is toyota put some thought to it and at least kept it a RWD, inline 6, 2 door sports coupe unlike Mitsubishi with their shitty eclipse cross
Forget the wing and do all led lights.

That wing does not suit this car. I prefer a duck lip spoiler
SKY's Channel it fits well actually. But I would also go for the DTR wing. Duct Tail Racing
U mean a spoiler.
SKY's Channel I think they should have gone with either a lip spoiler, a ducktail, or a big wing like an STI. This one in neither here nor there. Looks weird on this big of a car
ascend EU samething. U either call it rear wing, or a spoiler.

I think its funny that a car having LED headlights with incandescent turn signals is probably a deal-breaker for him.
Spoiled kids these days. Ha. ; ]
Boogie, champagne taste. Those bsw mirrors are like $1200 to fix out of warranty. Panoramic roof looks good but they're almost $2k to fix if the track goes bad. It's a cheaper alternative for a v6, all those extra features are want base and not a need. HID lights last longer than LED and provide better lighting. I know full LED gives vehicles an upscale look but they belong on higher trim vehicles. Those LED lights are over $100 a piece just for the bulbs plus extra just to get them change. They don't last, bunch of vehicles with led have one eye now.
@@stevornrichards1380 LOL HID DOES NOT LAST LONGER THAN LED. But some of the ARE brighter for sure.
@@stevornrichards1380 try more like 6k for fords pano roof.
Not really that funny. It's 2020. They should be full LED by now. Hell, even many pickup trucks have gone full LED. And that's the last line of vehicles I'd expect to adopt that.

I'm still driving my 2008 Camry for almost 12 years now and it's still working perfectly. It's nice to see how the Camry has evolved thoughout the years.
"its got a stiffer chassis do to all the additional chassis stiffness they added"
Nice upgrades, but you'd think Toyota would build the TRD off the XSE instead of the LE. Disappointing to not see full LED lights
anotherone Avalon’s TRD serves that purpose
If they would have did that this car would have easily went into 45k.
They did the LE because it’s the lightest model they want this car to be about performance
U can buy the xse front and rear taillights and headlights urself and install them and they will fit. 😐
Beautiful car, they always do a good job with the throaty sound of the trd exhaust. I think they made a good decision going to the smaller rear spoiler. Those floor mats are NOT worth the 200 dollar up charge. The biggest draw back for me is not having a manual or standard transmission , I’m sure any racers would agree with that. Would have made this vehicle more fun to drive!
Just give me the TRD exhaust on the XSE and I’d be happy.
Tbh, i'm in love with this car.
We just bought 1 today. Black and white. Love it...
I thought he said my grandma drove an Avalon. Make up your mind!
He had it right the first time. "It definitely is a lot special."
So this is basically just a body kit for the camry? Same v6, same hp, same transmission, same steering ratio, no limited slip diff, just add some wheels and spoiler and call it a day? wtf
Just add a TRD supercharger and problem solved
Yeah you're right Sofian. Car looks good, but how the hell it doesn't have the full led lights. That and no heated seats. They need to correct that on there next refresh of this car.
This should be called : Scotty Edition

Redline Review: Your grandma drives a Camry
Someone’s Grandma driving Benz on street and sees this Camry: “Honey, what’s that?”
Micah Rashada literally. the benz would smoke that but the camry still is nice
Various it depends what kind of Mercedes-Benz, if it’s a c300 or e300 it ain’t faster than the Camry.
Don't ya just hate it when grandma thinks it's too stiff?
I would still take the Camry over Benz anyday!!

Thanks for your review. The interior looks soooo tasteless though.
Dennis Cheng nah. I love the TRD headrest and red seatbelts
It’s a Camry
it's preferable to the ugly, stuck-on tablet screen the Accord has now
Don’t forget that it’s still a family car... just has sporty influence lol
♥️Wow this car is sweet,💯 are u guys looking for were u can buy quality weed, carts, edibles , wax ..Hit me up at 420marijuanastore.com
the main reason why they didn't do a whole lot with the interior is because you have to realize that they're trying to keep the costs down while also adding those performance upgrades as well. if they added all those features from the xse trim with the TRD, the car would be outrageously expensive. I think for everything that you get with this car it's a very good combination..
"...We purchased the Camry for $26,968 and traded it in for $13,000, about 2.5 years later and with over 42K miles on the odometer. These miles were well above average and affected the Camry's trade-in value. That said, we could've easily gotten a few grand more on the private market if we would have sold it ourselves. Profit versus convenience is something owners have to decide for themselves.
It ultimately equated to 51.8% depreciation. However, it is difficult to compare this outcome directly to the result for any other long-term car because we typically keep a long-termer for just 12 months or so. Edmund's longterm
Outside looks 10/10. Inside is 4/10
THEFIRE360 just like every other Toyota...
RovaTova except for the Prius and CHR. Those just look bad. At least for me
The spoiler looks like an evil villain's eyebrows or mustache lol
Still a grandmas car but she let her grandson customized it. The front looks good though
Toyota Made the TRD Camry look like it has 500+ horsepower until you find out it doesn't...
Well, actually...it's still your grandma's car. This car makes no sense, why take a large, slow, heavy, 300hp car, throw some suspension bits and aero at it and call it "sporty"? I never thought we would see Toyota pushing such a gimmick car for revenue. This and the Avalon TRD, both are large underpowered sedans that have no business having the "sports sedan" moniker. Seriously Toyota, next time give a horsepower bump if you want to call them TRD and sports sedans. Otherwise, most car enthusiasts just laugh at the idea of Toyota or Avalon TRD cars with no power increase. Let's be honest guys, it still is very much your grandma's car.
Hate the interior for this car.
Same here
@Stereo Typist Ya but who wants to deal with the oil consumption issues
Plus it feels so cheap no matter which trim level you get.
Stereo Typist That must be tight, because I had an Accord (latest gen) 2.0t model as a rental for a few weeks and it felt A LOT more cramped than my 7th Gen Sonata Limited 2.0t (in regards to front legroom, didn’t care for testing the back) to the point that during my 1.5 hr commute to work id be more uncomfortable. And I was going to purchase the Camry XSE too. Good to know.
@Stereo Typist shiny (and shitty) materials and red all over. Just no.
As someone who tends to be parked in random places for extended periods of time, what's the weirdest thing you've seen out in the field?
Watching from Nairobi, Kenya. I love your reviews bro. Redline is the best in terms of detail and relevant information.
William Ochieng did you know there are more cars in the state of New Jersey than the entire continent of Africa?
@@chocolatewheelchair Dude!! 😂 Are you serious? How many cars are there in New Jersey? 😂
William Ochieng actually no
Africa has alot of cars so I tend to strongly disagree with @chocolatewheelchair.
In Kenya alone we've got 4 million registered private vehicles most of which are Toyota since they are relatively easy to maintain than other brands.
I personally owned a Jaguar F-Type and it was a nightmare like yes the car was great but the roads here aren't fully suited for it. Eventually I had to replace it with an F-Pace which is super better but I still have tremendously high respect for Toyota brands.
Redline actually influences most of my car buying decisions, I rarely buy a car that Sofyan hates or let's just say I don't buy a car that he hates 😂.
I’d want the tech features in my sporty daily still. Just saying Toyota.
The look on my face when you turned that engine on....priceless
Just wish they would have modded the engine to.
There is no point in adding more power if the V6 is unable to put down 100% of it's power with an open differential. The traction control cuts back a lot power to prevent wheel spin. Toyota needs to include a limited slip differential and an ECU and transmission retune.
Nice wheels, nice side skirts. I don’t like the spoiler at all.
If Toyota would build a Camry XSE V6 AWD I'd be at the dealership right now.
IS350 AWD?
Timothy J more like ES 350 awd
You would be pushing GS 350 pricing. Just get that instead plus it’s a longitudinal engine with RWD priority.
rairadrai do you understand the amounts of rebates and price cut backs the Gs 350 have?
I got an 2009 Camry and love the look of the new ones. I did not get a new one because of the lack of HP and TQ. Instead, I got a Q50 RS. I wrote in to Toyota Corp and expressed my concerns with the brand. I felt that both the Camry and Avalon needed a performance boost to stay ahead of upcoming competition. During this time, Kia and Hyundai were really starting to push. My vision came from the TRD Camry sleeper. Toyota did listen to me, but the performance was not what I expected. The TRD versions of the Camry, Avalon or even Corolla should have the most power and be the fastest. Making it the same as the XSE and XLE made no sense. Neither did 301HP/267TQ . I understand these are considered reliable family sedans and could not expect too much at one time. One of the reasons Toyota didn't really add too much is because they don't want to surpass the Lexus brand which can also use a performance boost. Some people are like well get a Lexus or just get a faster car. No, they're missing the point. I love the Camry. I love Toyota. So please write in and voice your opinions to them because they do listen a little. I am still trying to push to get the Camry supercharger back on the market here in the USA. When they put out a better stock product, I might get one in the future. Still a nice car though.
Make a trd version with a supercharger with 375hp, lsd and a 6speed manny. Priced at 35k and you have a winner.
love toyota non CVTs cars. last longer than most relationships.
busywl69 let’s be honest for a sec. if you’re gonna spend money on something like this, the Avalon has a more aggressive design and better interior than the Camry. I like the Camry overall don’t get my wrong but the front end being so narrow and those headlights I’m not digging it and those taillights that take you back to early 2000s “mods” not doing it justice. The instead of the “wing” I’d like to see a tip on it give it a cleaner look & feel.
@@marcelinolopez52 true, but its a niche car though (still family), for those who find regular camrys to pedestrian but still giving you good gas mileage and a comfortable drive with toyotas reliability (non cvt engine model) when owning it out of warranty.
If one has Avalon cash they go to the Lexus store and finance a bit more for a IS or ES. Its what the Avalons purpose is, well at least to me.
Still has a boring v6 and fwd. AWD would’ve definitely added some uniqueness.
4:00 Exhaust sounds a bit like chewbacca lol
Chewy, is that you.
Wow it really does lol.
First saw this Camry in Celestial Silver Metallic/Midnight Black Metallic. It cruised by and I remember thinking, "omg, that car is super nice"! Not sure I'll ever own one...but love the look!
0:52 - sorry thats wrong, Toyota Australia has a 241kW (323 hp) Camry we call the Aurion TRD, back in 2007 only 1000 made. its a mad sleeper.

I own a 2021 with the added bling spot and different raised info system. I use to own 2 Sti’s and at times missed the awd and maybe 50/70 more HP for this car would have done it some justice. Hope to keep it and not get bored. But I do get plenty of head turns. Not a Hell Cat but nice looking
I think the team did reprogram the transmission so that you can hold revs higher and slightly longer at redline (in manual shifting mode), and the car will not immediately auto upshift for you when you're gunning the engine. I've been watching some other reviews prior to this one, and I have definitely seen people bounce off the rev limiter in paddle shifter mode. This is something that you can't do in the normal Camry.
Damn even comes with the 90s boy style boy racer rear spoiler.
Thanks for the review. I LOVE! It and it is an incredible value for the performance, practicality and the reliability you get with Toyota. Toyota really hit it out of the park with this one.
I'd have to go with the the XSE opposed to the TRD.
whole27 u do know that if u go for XSE with TRD, you’ll still have the same V6. The SE Camry TRD has V6. The better mpg would be the 2.5 inline-4
@whole27 Some XSE models have the two tone colors
I would get one. Best of both worlds, got the power and reliability to back it up.
Well, I test drove a 430i, C300 a Q60 , a Lexus and settled on this Toyota TRD.
It has just as many refined moves as the German cars, handles just as well , has
a great engine and cost twenty thousand less. By the way, people love to look at this car while I’m driving it. It is a very cool looking car. Also, I love that it has a primary chain, thrives
on regular gas and has a more simplified dash panel. I think you were a little harsh with your
critique but then again I’m willing to bet you never owned a Toyota. I also have a bad ass FJ Cruiser which will topple any of its competition. JMHO

The TRD is the cheapest way to get a V6.
Honestly I like the fact that they didn't touch the engine and trans. I think most people who buy carmys buy them for reliability. If they added a turbo or changed the engine and trans in anyway that would bring up some serious reliability concerns down the road. You really don't need a crazy fast car in the US to have fun. This thing is fast enough, sounds good and handles well. Lots of fun to be had. You really get the best of both worlds. I love this thing.
I disagree, I do need a fast car to have fun.

@@Toyota4Life nah, according to the lie detector test, he's telling the truth. I use to be hard Toyota and Lexus fan and would defend them but over the year's their popularity level has declined for me. If this car is a TRD then the engine and suspension needs to match the badge and not just for aesthetics.
Chase Visions don’t be a idiot
Chase Visions did he drive the car ? Everyone that driven this car called it the best driving in class and with these TRD upgrades I believe them.
WHen I first saw the XSE not gonna lie, I actually thought it looked pretty sick. The TRD design looks even better. And another thing i never thought id say is I actually like how this camry sounds. Though they should have turbocharged it.

Toyota based the TRD on the SE trim to cut costs, a XSE V6 is already around $40K MSRP - add TRD package and it’s already more expensive than a Lexus ES350 F-Sport ($45KMSRP)
