You asked the right person, I actually have researched a lot about this. Since these cars are hybrid, you can get in, start it right up and immediately drive it. If you pay close attention, you can feel that the car knows the engine is cold and doesn't use the engine to power the driving until it's warm enough, unless you press the gas pedal down far. I've noticed that the car idles the engine while using only electric power when the engine is cold. Furthermore, the engine oil in these cars are built to circulate fast, since most of the time the engine starts it has to immediately put in work. That's why the oil is so thin, it's so it can circulate around the engine fast. There is absolutely no harm in not waiting for it to warm up, it was designed to get up and go immediately, cold or not.

Hi Donald, here in Russia all the bloggers who review Toyota Camry Hybrid say that it has a CVT, and that's it, no more information. and no details about the gearbox, we have very little information here about this eCVT. Therefore, I ask you to tell us more about this box and touch on the topic of how it differs from a regular CVT and how exactly, also touch on the topic of reliability, because everyone knows that a regular CVT is extremely unreliable. I will be very grateful to you, because this is important information that perhaps few people know.
@DNDrives
@DNDrives 9 күн бұрын
I am going to be honest, I don't know too much about the differences but eCVT transmissions are primarily used on hybrid cars only. From what I've heard, eCVT transmissions are way more reliable than the conventional CVT. Here's an AI generated snippet explaining it more in-depth. I cannot verify the correctness because it is AI generated but it sounds reasonable to me: A CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) uses a system of pulleys and a belt to provide seamless acceleration with infinite gear ratios, typically found in gas-powered cars. An eCVT (Electronic CVT), on the other hand, is used in hybrid vehicles and combines a planetary gear system with electric motors to blend power from the engine and electric motor efficiently. CVTs focus on fuel economy and simplicity, while eCVTs are designed for hybrid systems and offer regenerative braking and smoother energy transitions.

Having both gives you the best deal on loans and monthly payments!

You can only submit an allocation which means they will keep a look out for your preferred specs and send that unit to your local dealer for you. Sometimes you will only get a close match as there’s no such thing as custom ordering for Toyota.

I don't like the fact that the panoramic roof is being forced on you if you get the XSE and XLE. I also prefer the unpainted all-black grill the SE and LE has due to rock chip concerns, but you have no choice but to get the painted grill on the higher trims. There's no way to put PPF on that part. You could spray it with black Plasti-Dip.

You say, living in the United States, one shouldn't be driving in excess of 117 miles per hour. Yeah, well, what if the police are chasing you? Have you ever thought about that? Yeah, say if you just robbed a liquor store or convenience store? So, now you see? There is a good reason to drive faster than 117 mph. One other thing, driving this type of hybrid vehicle at high speeds, (117mph), really depletes the hybrid battery power rather quickly. It would not have the opportunity to regenerate itself, so there would be a major strain on the hybrid/battery system. I wouldn't recommend driving that fast very often. I like your car a lot, especially the red interior. You seem like a very nice young man. You did a great job creating this video. Keep it up! The fuel pump needs the gasoline to cool itself. Referring to the USB plugs in your lower dash...late model Prius have the same set up. Allegedly, one is for connectivity or transferring information to the head-unit, such as listening to audio files and such. The other is for charging only. I don't know which is which on your Camry, but I would check it out in your manual. One my Prius, 2024 model, every once in a while my head unit disconnects with my phone for no reason. What I do is, I restart my phone, instead of restarting the vehicle. So, I believe it's a stupid quirk that is built into Toyota head-units. Also, I have an Android, not an Apple product...that's why I say it's a quirk in the Toyota head-unit.

Thank you for your support and valuable insight! I've never thought about the regeneration of the battery at such high speeds before, now that you say it, it makes a lot of sense why hybrids usually have a lower top speed. The head units in these cars are very interesting, you'd think a brand with such reputation and popularity would have something like this down to a T.

You can help your fuel economy by giving your battery time to warm up while running your heat. Also i find that coming up to the speed of traffic in normal way is more fuel efficient then half throttling little by little. Gives the battery more time to coast. Nice video bro thanks.

Thank you for sharing your 2025 Camry XSE review. My question is regarding your front window tint. Do you have any problems with sunlight at its highest peak during the day and oncoming car lights at night blinding you. I’m much older than you , driving a 2011 RAV4 and the sun wrecks havoc with me trying to drive . Any problems or recommendations to combat brightness through your windows? Sorry for the long question. Thank you for your response.
@DNDrives
@DNDrives 18 күн бұрын
I have to start off by saying that my window tint is NOT legal. You can obtain a medical exemption to tint your windows dark legally. The tint definitely helps with the sunlight. I recommend getting the darkest possible as a strip on the top part of the windshield, also known as a brow. The side windows can be tinted as dark as you want with the exemption, however the trade off is you won’t see much at night. If you want a nice balance, I’d recommend 20% on your side windows, 50% over your whole windshield, and 5% on the brow. It depends from area to area but here the police don’t mind your tint even if it’s illegal unless you have a stupid dark windshield. Hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions if needed!

Has your Toyota profile been deleted from your car yet? I hear that's also a reoccurring issue for some. Also, do you connect through wire which it doubles up as when you charge the phone etc?

I'm pretty sure I don't have the Toyota profile in my car, it's just my personal user profile. I solely use the wireless connection, the wire I plug my phone with is strictly for charging. I prefer the convenience of the wireless, as long as it's not too troublesome I'm willing to deal with the occasional mishaps.
