2022 Toyota Camry 2.5V Review - No Longer The Uncle Car |

The Toyota Camry has long held a reputation for offering excellent comfort, refinement and reliability, as well as a rather aged fanbase. But as these customers have either expired or moved on to SUVs, Toyota has realised that the Camry has untapped potential in a younger, more energetic audience and has retooled their big family saloon to match.
Now powered by a Dynamic Force 2.5-litre engine along with a host of other refinements, does the Camry have what it takes to not only defend its title as Malaysia's #1 D-segment saloon, but also fend off competition from Honda, Volkswagen, Hyundai and Mazda?

getting my car next week, i accidently found out your video which i wished i had found out earlier, ur english is so good and enjoyable to hear😂

[@gibby6904]

I love my Camry.....I don't get the comments on performance.....who buys a Camry expecting a sports car? It has great pickup when you need it....looks good and gets great mileage......A to B is why anyone buys a Camry....

[@shehannordin5939]

greatest review from malaysian youtuber

[@iamqadri]

Amazing review. Keep it up team

[@shamshuriismail1565]

menteri exco pakai..beli camry duduk belakang macam menteri jugak..resale value pun tinggi..review mantap terbaik..speaking class gitu..menteri pun kalah hehe.

[@husaininorrahman9959]

your review is bombastic!!!

[@vmugunthan4503]

I love this chap's commentary.

[@acam6919]

Good car and great review. Still waiting for corolla cross review from Aiman :) Out of topic; may I know the camera used for this review? The focus is a little bit jumpy

[@ckk1252]

spot on regarding the ventilated seats. using pre fl camry, the lack of it is really a sore point.

[@superbird24]

Clean Camry. Nice to see the LE trim level get some love.

[@NikMohdRizwan]

Love the shackleton seat reference HAHAHA. Made me watch the Rover James episode again.

[@MalaysianMotoring]

We're so glad someone got it!

[@kengarooang8783]

I like this presenter. Very good presentation

[@dzat]

Hardly see this current generation camry or the current accord on the road in KV. There are more 3 & 5 series, c & e class on the road?

[@jjchewful]

hey, how does this 2022 camry NVH and refinement compare to 2022 mazda Cx-8 ? And also the gearbox shift as fast as mazda 6 speed auto?

[@symisymi]

Camry paling lawa, sadly hanya mampu tengok...

[@mhhia14]

No wireless apple carplay and android auto?

[@XypherLim]

Dunno when is the stock coming

[@Edmont8228]

book in April and was recently told by UMW Toyota that the car is only arriving in May 2023. had to cancel due to empty promises over and over again. thanks for the review bro 👍🏻

[@nigelchong9160]

Going to book mine. Waiting period is 1 year but I rather wait for this than accord or mazda 6. Accord NVH is no different than a standard proton or perodua.

[@bennytan9424]

Sorry guys, I've been picking up the car for two weeks. Trust me it was worth the wait. I had a lot of fun with this car.

[@ketarap]

How do you compare this to Mazda 6 that you reviewed earlier? Which one you prefer?

[@MalaysianMotoring]

The Mazda 6 is more dynamic, and if you want to stand out that's the car you want to look at. However for everyone else who would want greater fuel economy, better driver assistance systems, and arguably a more refined and cossetting ride, the Camry is the new standard bearer in the segment.

[@tansrimerong66]

Gila ahhh english kau bang.. paduuu

[@henrymichael2971]

Ventilated seats are more useful for our weather compared to the reclining back seats that cant fold flat

[@nigelchong267]

I beg to differ. I use the back seats very often and it helps me when I need to take quick shut eyes between meetings.

[@jamescps8799]

Sales man told me need 1 year to get this car :( I find the accerlation is very very slow, and the pedal doesn't move the car so much in the beginning? Am I correct on my feeling? I thought it's 2.5 engine

[@bennytan9424]

My friend, I am already driving this car, the throttle performance is very good and I am pleasantly surprised.

[@guan5849]

How would you compare this against the Passat ?

[@MalaysianMotoring]

Compared to the Passat R-Line it isn't as powerful, and it definitely isn't as pointed a drivers' car. But the Camry enjoys a sense of fluidity in its dynamics, and the predictability of the N/A engine is quite a treat compared to turbocharged competitors. Our Editor would prefer this over a Passat.

[@fazz27]

Hey, nothing wrong with Uncle Cars. :) But honestly would positioning the Camry based on driving experience garner more sales? I would expect that the Camry's typical clientele would not care too much about the drive. ;)

[@MalaysianMotoring]

They're opening up to a different clientbase. Their traditional clientele have moved into SUVs like the Corolla Cross. So this has to appeal to people who are, in our current climate, still looking at saloons. So this seems like an intelligent repositioning.

[@jamalwalker2104]

My second car is a 1998 Toyota Camry LE. Great reliable car.

[@speedycatz]

More like a cooler uncle car. Hey, it’s reliable and a workhorse anyway, nothing wrong with it.

[@dehantu]

Do you hear wind noise when driving around 100km/h?

[@MalaysianMotoring]

Barely.

[@semangka8183]

Wish it came with the 8AR-FTS engine instead

[@lewisteo9761]

I own one now and am not really impressed with the engine power. The 8 speed gearbox is not responsive at all. It is quite disappointing honestly

[@MalaysianMotoring]

Didn't you test drive it before you bought it? Still has a power advantage over the Accord. And a better reliability & aftersales service rating...

[@zenyu94]

You didnt test drive before you buy?

[@Driving_Somewhere]

Agree...Extremely rough sounding engine...One of the roughest in the history of Camry. Do not buy if you drive spiritedly and like to full throttle for fun. Sounds ok below 3000 rpm but beyond that . . . it's horrible and painful to listen to. Even diesel Hilux don't sound so bad. Toyota's 8 speed is very over-rated always hunting gears and manual mode is rough and slow vs ZF 8 speed in the 10 year old BMW 5 series F10. But this really really saves fuel and the car looks good.

[@nigelchong9160]

@@Driving_Somewhere dude no offense first of all people who buys camry isn't looking to have spirited drives. We have our weekend car for that. I usually take my camry for work because it is comfortable. Second, you are comparing it with a BMW 5 series. Japanese and continental cars are two very different cars in terms of tech and characteristics. The 8 speed is meant for comfort. Who tf cares if it sounds bad and painful to listen to. It is meant for comfort driving.

[@Driving_Somewhere]

@@nigelchong9160 No offense taken. Yes don't buy if you are a spirited driver. As the gruff engine sound / roughness at higher rpms is quite unacceptable to me. Gearbox also abit jerky and slow to downshift vs 12 year old BMW F10 ZF 8 speed. Other than that it's a comfortable car indeed. All the best.

Like u can afford it anyway

[@thinaharran]

@@yourbeautynevereverscareme My thoughts are simple- Uncles are always wiser anyway. Uncles have probably driven a pain in the arse car in the past ( think Alfas, Fiat, BMWs) to understand why an uncles car is a lot better than a GR Yaris.

[@rakyatprihatin]

Nowadays, uncles have no suitable car to buy.

[@MalaysianMotoring]

The Toyota Corolla Cross is where the majority of them have ended up, according to data.

[@seanngeow4369]

Lots of review, no stock to buy, what for…… Toyota should stop sending review units if they have no car to sell.

[@MalaysianMotoring]

The only brands that currently have sufficient ready-stock are for models nobody wants. :) The shortage of parts, chips and labour have affected the automotive industry equally.
