2021 Toyota Camry XSE V6: Is The New Camry Worth Almost $40,000???

[@aznboi0118]

I have the 18 Camry XSE V6. It's a beautiful car. The V6 is much appreciated when on the highway, it feels solid, strong, and smooth! Sometimes I forget I'm in a Camry, overall it's a trustworthy vehicle.

[@montefiveforty1]

The wheels on the 18 look nicer imo than all black like every other car on the road nowadays.

[@davekincade8141]

Just picked up a 2021 XSE V6 last week. It’s amazingly quiet! Really happy with the V6 power delivery too. The dealer said only about 6% of customers opt for the V6. Glad to be one of those.

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

I totally agree with you! I had a 2015 XSE V6 that I bought new in 2015. The dealer I bought mine at had only 10 V6 models out of 390 Camry's. The Camry's the only family sedan to still offer a 6-cylinder engine as of last year which the Camry would easily be my number one pick if I were to buy a new family sedan today cause of the engine alone. Toyota has always had one of the best V6's out there. I still keep a sharp eye out for V6 Camry's old & new & I see very few of them on the road.

To anyone looking in getting one. You should! The only downside I have is the reverse camera quality is not good at all and I wish the dash screen would look more crisp in quality other than that definitely a car worth getting!

Agree; the reverse camera is horrible and the downside of this great car. Its even worse during rain/snow and the sensors keep getting “not available” with any amount of rain

[@naveenkrishnamurthy7576]

@@ahqasrawi well of course the radar getting dirty by snow will cause errors saying the sonars are unavailable The camera quality isn’t great but it’s decent enough. And unlike some competitors Toyota did a good job with the 360 camera. Specifically stitching the 4 outside cameras tightly as if it’s seamless. Other competitors (Acura included) you can see the lines that separate the 4 cameras and it doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing.

[@threadoflife]

I love my 2022 XSE fully loaded such a great car I highly recommend them! I’ve owned over 50 cars and trucks in my life at 37 and this is honestly one of my favorite cars. Relatable to my Lexus IS 350 F Sport. I wish it came in AWD in the V6 other than that I love it. The FWD is great as well! I’m very impressed with my city mix at 25 MPG all on regular unleaded. I have an aftermarket cat back exhaust, intake, tai-lights, and the black out package. The ventilated seats are killer to have especially in Arizona. If you’re on the fence about getting one don’t be you will be very thankful with the purchase. I also have become so spoiled by all of the safety features I love the lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and the heads up display. The panoramic moon roof is 👌 so nice at night and really opens up the car. Very sporty and perfect exhaust note with a great balance of power to weight ratio. The JBL premium sound system is also very nice and has a great clear crisp sound. It also has a buttery smooth 8 spd transmission and it’s a lot of fun to throw it in Manual paddle shifting sport mode and line up with people. They don’t expect a Camry to leave them in the dust. It will impress with a smile, reliability, and comfortability! Get one!
