2021 Toyota Camry XSE Review & Test Drive

[@kennyeubanks6089]

I’m taking delivery of an AWD Camry XSE with this same color combination in two days. 4 cylinder engine with all of the options.

Good overall tutorial of the Toyota XSE v4. Just got mine & I love all the features its come with just like this one.

Not the v4 😭😭😭

[@cb9137]

I can't decide between the SE nightshade or XSE man, how is it so far

[@fullofpeace3486]

@@cb9137 I like it because its convenient with some good features. The "X" in XSE stands for more luxury or additional amenities, so you'd have to pay more. If you really don't care about having more additional features/luxury i.e. leather seats you might want to consider just going with the SE.

[@cb9137]

@@fullofpeace3486 yea the main things I really like about the XSE Is the pano roof, red seats, bigger screen and gage cluster. But I know the SE nightshade would be just as a good option if I decide to go with it

Also the new Accords with a 1.5 turbo do not heat up good in cold climates.. that engine is so small it cannot generate enough heat for and an Acccord..it is the same motor that is in a Honda Fit with a turbo.. way too damn small, it just doesn't have any guts.. and that turbo will wear out much faster as well.

[@captncloud50]

I have the 2018 Camry XSE v6 and I feel like the last years infotainment system is yards better. The small buttons and knobs on the 2021 would bother me to hell. Only gripes about the 2018 is the transmission lag and the fact the windchill pearl paint does not fair well with bird droppings. Really bums me out Toyota did a 4 cylinder all wheel drive rather than a 6 cylinder. Not sure why people would want a v4 unless they’re going with a base SE or LE. None the less, the v6’s don’t sell as much as the v4 so can’t be mad at them for sticking with what’s popular.

[@MichaelHauger08]

Red interior in this one. This one's pretty nice actually.

[@iishyxvietxboyii]

I hated the red interior in my GS350.

[@jxmar_]

I can already tell Toyota is cutting back production of the V6 for the coming years since they’re moving towards having more hybrid models than gas. just look at the new venza and Sienna..

[@Smg_Glxy]

What would be cool and interesting, making a hybrid yet sporty sounding and looking TRF Camry

[@Smg_Glxy]

*TRD

[@The3358151l]

That’s a shame you can tell the advertisements for 2021 totally only talked about the new hybrid nothing about the v6

[@dannybishop68]

Yeah . Only 6 percent of the sales are v6 . Its a wonder they still make them

[@jxmar_]

Dan bish they’re still making them but probably dropped the sales rate from 6% to 2%

[@speedfiend925]

Minor quibble but the XSE and XLE come with Leather seats. Softex is reserved for the Corolla, RAV4 and 4Runner.

Yessir. I feel the same. The tablet look ruins it. In my opinion, love the screen in the center

[@cityboyjuice]

I like how it looks. I wish they would offered a hatchback version since its all glass anyway like civic. Now its reminds of altima from the side

[@cityboyjuice]

@Randy Jackson i don't see why not give the option like does. There's already options for 4door coupe and convertible challengers. I have a Corolla and i would definitely a hatchback if the was an option

[@samlung2724]

In the US regarding regular everyday sedans, from honda, toyota kia etc.... theres no market or not enough people who do want it to even consider it here. Countries like Europe, hatchbacks are the thing, here in the US, its crossovers. Belive me, I want a wagon accord but it wont happen again.

[@kaylasykora7790]

Very late, but I was wondering if someone could explain the difference between the XSE, LE, and SE. I'm definitely not a car person, so I don't really understand everything lol but I'm looking into getting a camry.

[@3DThaRapstar]

Yessir, agreed

[@richarddobson3138]

Screen depends on your perspective, and size of the screen. LE AND SE only get 7 inch screen. XLE and XSE get 9 inch screen. If the screen looks too much like an add on you could opt for the smaller screen...But I'd bet a hot fudge sundae that if offered at the same price you'd take the larger screen which somewhat negates the too much of an add on look being the issue. No the issue is that it is new...And it's also at a better eye level..If I just bought one last year with the smaller in dash unit at a lower level of sight I would be pissed...But, That's the car business... No one can ever keep up with the next model...I like the screen..It helps to correct the previous somewhat over the top "Mod Squad" swoosh design where the screen was before...21 Camry's also have the all new Toyota Safety Sense 2.5

[@alexr.1097]

@@antoniocognato5023 I truly think the reason your 2020 feels better than the 2018 is because the lower end trims have larger tires and smaller wheels which make for an extremely much more comfortable ride. But that’s just my thought.

[@Maureentv1]

I wish honda would offer all red or blue seats. XSE has many more amenities than the TRD. The front fracia isn't to my liking. This particular model is under powered.

Hopefully the brakes are good. Those are some small looking rotors up front.

[@randyjackson347]

You need to look again there are not small rotors.. Those are 19-in rims ,they can't have rotors that big.. They are on the same line in comparison as the Honda Accord. Toyota also puts a 610 CCA larger battery in the Toyota Camry compared to Hondas 480 to 500 cold cranking amps.. and I've got a new Toyota Camry XLE in my garage and a Honda Accord and I can compare the two.. They are both the best cars.. I can tell you Honda takes a lot of shortcuts in some of the quality. When the truck opens in the Accord it just pops open, not fully ...my Camry opens all the way up and is lined with sound deadeners uo ,the downsides and back as well and the hinges are encased to make it look nice.. even the Honda Accord touring looks base when you open the trunk and does not have the hinges encased... They are just painted bare hinges exposed.. the Camry has a lot of small extras that the Lexus has including ambient blue or red lighting inside including the floors and dome lights which are recessed over the back seat closer to the passengers.. and all LEDs.

Good quality review of this Camry. I will say though as a owner of a 2020 xse I am disappointed as there is nothing really new about this car except the dash audio screen. I see that there is apple car play but I feel as though it should have built in GPS. It just looks the same and their is nothing new these xse look like they they don’t have birds eye view which is weird because the 2017 model has it. Idk maybe it’s me. But very good review of this car.

[@NothinButCarReviews]

Thanks so much! 😁

[@Qaor]

Most new cars won't have built in GPS since your phones apps wirelessly connect with the car. The car will use your phones GPS and maps to get around. This is mostly because cars that did have built in GPS have no way of updating the maps without an expensive and usually bespoke update package from the manufacturer. Since everyone's phones already have it, and something like Google maps on your phone will also give you real time traffic updates, which the cars GPS won't do, most people used their phones GPS anyways. Makes more sense.
