Love the reviews that are coming lately. Focusing more on affordable cars for the general population. People say it the taxi car in Aussie but the new Camry rides and handle so well I can’t think of better medsize sedan car for the price it offers! Great review again guys!!

Having driven the SL Hybrid for almost 3 months I can say that it's a pretty amazing car. Ride quality is actually better than a W212 Mercedes E-Class (4cyl Turbo) and the throttle response is much better as well because it doesn't have to deal with a turbo + you get assistance from the electric motor at low revs; not too sure about newer 4cyl turbo cars, but I'd hazard a guess that none of them have the throttle response of the camry hybrid at low revs. The car handles great too - I would much rather have a compliant and comfy car because 90% of my journeys include city driving or boring country highways. Power is completely adequate for any sort of legal driving; the engine has enough power for safe overtaking if you are so inclined. Interior comfort is excellent and the build quality is pretty solid. The audio system is pretty crap, unfortunately. Parking sensor position and number means that it's an abysmal performer in this regard - I wish they had used the sensor configuration on the US models and included the 360 camera. Road noise can be an issue on the rough bitumen found on country roads, but I feel that this may be due to tires - road noise on well paved roads is absolutely fantastic. BTW, I'm getting 5 L/100km with mixed driving.

awsome stuff!! When the engine comes on is it loud? I heard that because it is direct and port injected it may sound a bit rattley? :D Thanks!

Great review John. As an owner of a 2020 SL model your review covers nearly everything. I do enjoy driving my car. I am a little surprised you did not pick apart the selection of models into a little more detail. The maximum set of safety features only appear on the SL along with the leather interior and moon roof. While the smaller displays on the base Ascent make it a less desirable car. The sweet spot in terms of value is the Ascent Sport Hybrid. Keep up the great work I enjoy watching the videos on your channel!

Great review. We have had a number of Camry Hybrid s as rentals . Its build quality and economical consumption was a factor when we came to buy our current car - however we went with a Corolla Hybrid Sedan. We didn’t need a larger car so the Corolla sedan fits the bill perfectly.

John, I want to say sorry for doubting your reviewing capabilities. You're an excellent guy and while I was confused when you popped up initially instead of Tom, I should've given you the benefit of the doubt. Keep up the awesome work man, and I look forward to watching more of your content!

I own and drive a 2016 Atara S Camry hybrid made in Australia it gets very good fuel economy 5.2 to 5.4 litres per 100km. The best I have got is 4.8 litres per 100km. I'm very happy with my purchase. The current Camry runs on premium unleaded. Mine doesn't so there is that to consider too.

Having to run on premium is a big downfall, especially as it gets expensive the further you move away from a Capitol.

Thanks for the review Chasing Cars. My favourite car (and colour), those new Hybrids are so comfy, quiet and frugal (if a little large for everyday use). I'm surprised that Toyota bother to sell the non hybrid model in Australia. I chose a Kia Cerato Sport+ for it's slightly more manageable size and convenient hatch rear. It is also specced generously for the price. I love driving the Camry Hybrid on the highway. Very enjoyable, especially for passengers.

Great review! The Camry has long been the king of sedans here. I think the Sonata will shake things up in the sedan market, when it lands.

Solid review and reviewer. I prefer your slightly different Australia spec rear end look vs. what we get in the States. This is a car that I don't want to want, but I do and know I'd be happy with it. Or, could I justify the ES300h? Yeah, probably.

@User-cb4jm

3 жыл бұрын

maybe not - the ES doesn't have the clean premium layout befitting a luxury car - and a lot.of interior components feel shared between the models. I'd get SL version (top-spec, maybe its called something different in the US - was it a XLE V6? or maybe an Avalon Limited)

Good job Johnnie keep it up

Best Camry after the XV10 This is a drastic improvement from the past Camrys since the mid 90s I love that you were listening to Slick Rick

Why do all car reviews get it wrong on the hybrid transmission? It’s not a CVT transmission and parallel motor. The motors (plural) are the transmission. There is no gearbox… Guys, try to get thr basics right.

I own 2018 Toyota Camry but seems the dashboard could scratch easily it really disappointed how Toyota built such low quality product

The manual mentions recommended is 0W16 or if not available than can use 0w20 but to change back at next oil change. I am using 0W20 as its summer temperature year round where I am so thinking too thin oil may not be good for hot weather. Mechanics are saying should use 5w30 or 40 which doesn't follow manual. Hope for your thoughts. Thanks!

On no.. here comes the "Wah wah wah... We want Tom. Where is Tom. Tom is so much better... Wah wah wah" Nice review John. Camry is actually a good car and they go heaps harder than the people that drive them ever use. "White Camry blocking the fast lane" Nahhh.. never happens :)

At 5:30 is reported that it has 18.5 cubic feet or 524 liters of trunk or boot space. This is a TOP 500 SEDAN, which belongs to the select group of those whow have more than 500 liters of capacity in its trunk or boot. And I'm going to put this video on my decents sedans playlist!

For a whitegoods kinda car Toyota have up the ante in the styling of the later generations of Camry, but still a Camry. I doubt there would be a market for a GR spec'd Hybrid Camry...or would there?

Yer Aussie 'default' Taxi, albeit a slightly higher model. Still a nice car, but Toyota is slow to embrace the leading edge of anything new. And, yes, the hybrid is a welcome innovation. In short. A nice conservative vehicle - unoffensive and a 'go to car' for much of the motor fleet. More or less (though smaller) replaces Commodore and Falcon, although that sector seem more 'into' SUVs. ps. YES! The parking sensors require you to back 'far too close' to others whilst parking! pps. Re 'sound systems'. I only ever listen to ABC Local Talk/News radio, which means, in many cars, I pay too much for music 'fans'. ppps. Go Richmond Tigers !!!

The Camry has to be the most reliable car in the world, either that or the Corolla I suppose. However, old people, Uber drivers, sdash cam videos, and horrible driving has more then killed it for me. No matter how good this one looks, it’s still a Camry.
