Never driven the 2025 Camry yet but from what I hear these things have great handling and are a fun sporty family sedan to drive. The Honda Accord used to be the better of the two when comparing the handling and drive experience but I guess this new Camry has finally become better than the Accord in that area. Love both cars and currently own a 2016 Accord EXL. Great work Toyota!

Crazy to see you in my part of town! Highway 94 is one of the more fun roads to drive in town, also by far the most dangerous.

I drive a Mercedes now and I still miss my Camry hybrid se, spacious, fuel efficient, good looking, just couldn't find a reason to dislike this car!

I have a current model as a company car and honestly think it’s the best value car in the world.

One small thing I like in this thing over the Prius is that they got rid of that strange pseudo reverb turn signal sound in the Prius. Same tonal quality, just without that echo

Excellent video....

Good car 🚗 Good Driver 👍

Like the way you comment when you drive, make you feel like i am driving it.

really think toyota has refined their modern design language, this looks brilliant + plenty of buttons

Agree winter tires are way more important than having all wheel drive.

great that you commented on wind and tire noise.

You put it through its paces and it came through with flying colors. That's pretty impressive for a hybrid sedan. I'm curious to see your review of the Crown Signia.

Just wish it was a v6. I have a 2013 Camry SE v6 with dual exhaust and that thing is unbelievably quick. If they can put that engine in here then I would buy it in a heart beat..

The interior does it for me, I wanted to get an ES but that interior is so outdated plus the Camry is roomier then the ES. Definitely going to get one now.

I agree about the tires. 17" is the sweet spot for ride, nose, MPG, etc.. Also, does anyone know why sometimes the navigation is very basic looking, and other times very detailed? Like it the Redline Reviews vid the navigation looked way more detailed than it did in this video. Showing all the topography, etc..

I'd like them to add some noise canceling to their engine and/or add fake gears. I prefer hearing that over full blast CVT drone. Honda did this with the Accord

Are you going to drive the XLE topher?

I like it, a few nitpicks but available AWD gives it an edge over the Accord. Even though it is hybrid e-AWD and maybe not the most effective system, it's enough to give it the winter road capability edge.

@z1az285

Ай бұрын

this will be one of the biggest differentiators between the camry and upcoming Subaru hybrids. pros and cons to permanent AWD vs e-AWD or on demand. yes, permanent is more effective but gas mileage will take a hit. However the eAWD works quite well even if its not as good as Subarus

Between the Accord, Camry, and the Kia K5, which is better in driving, handling, space, etc? I test drove the new accord and the K5, and i found the K5 GTline to be more sporty and fun to drive. They have similar interior space. I'm wondering if this new Camry is better than the two?

I can see 'Most' people buying the Camry hybrid instead of the new Prius, because they actually have some 'headroom' in the Camry, and the A-pillars are not positioned in such a way that they block a huge chunk of your sideways visibility like they do in the Prius.

what about road & wind noise on the LE?... Is the LE as loud as the SE?

Just watched your POV of the Accord Hybrid back to back with this and surprisingly, the Accord seemed quieter and seemed to handle better. You were taking curves at higher speeds than you were in this Camry, yet you can hear tire scrub in the Camry. Wind noise was evident also here and almost nothing in the Accord. The powertrain sounds of the Accord also seemed a bit more refined though the Camry sounded a bit "gruffier" which is good for a sporty sedan. I will say I like the cleanly styled exterior and interior of the Accord better so that, along with the driving experience, would be my personal choice.

It looks really nice but unfortunately I’m not a huge fan of CVT’s. I bought the 22 XSE with the V6 cuz of this. I will most likely not be upgrading if Toyota continues with the CVT transmission for the Camry going forward. I’ll keep my V6 as long as possible.

I felt the same about this but you need to drive one to feel it. This is coming from someone who had a 2020 Camry TRD V6. The hybrid camry uses an E-CVT which works differently than a regular CVT. I’ll give it props, it drives smoother day to day than my V6 did. The 8 speed is decent but can be harsh at times when cold. As powerful? No. But surprisingly off the line acceleration was decent. Its only about a second off the V6 0-60.

Will they ever make a TRD/GR version Camry ?

Damn this almost looks like an ES-series interior. The gap between camry and lexus ES is closing?

id much rather have the v6 with the 8 speed transmission thats why theres a sport button that keeps you in the power band. better yet theres paddles and they work.

I wonder how it's gonna sound with an aftermarket catback exhaust.

Love your reviews. I do actually appreciate good handling, but ride quality is paramount to me at the same time, so this model would appeal to me if not for those larger wheels. I agree with everything that you said about including larger wheels in a luxury package. Only dumb people appreciate larger wheels.

the “TRD” should get a hybrid max powertrain. it would be the perfect amount of power for this sedan

Gotta Admit Toyota truly is stepping it up in the styling and luxury area wow watch out Germans 😂
