The Camry is probably the most perfectly sized vehicle for most drivers. Very nice car.

Great review! These new Camrys looks awesome! It looks like they took the interior from the Crown and incorporated it into the Camry, only it's too bad that they didn't bring over the extremely versatile dual access center console from the Crown as well - that would have made the new interior perfect! Can't hardly wait till Spring'24 to pick one up!

You like garden lattice for a front grill, or perhaps you enjoy the removal of real gauges in favor of another cheap, digital screen? This gen is a step backwards in quality and engineering. 232 HP XSE? Oh boy, that's underwhelming.

it will have a less reliable 4 cylinder turbo that will never go for as long as the older naturally aspirated V6 without repairs.

[@pryme2013]

Pros: Looks nice and they finally put effort into streamlining the tablet into the dash. Looks much better. Cons: hybrid only? The 2.5 4cly option gave mid to high 30’s and ran forever. It could also be had for 25k before the new business model car companies implemented 3 years ago. Even if this hybrid only lineup returned 10mpg more it will cost nearly twice as much. Innumerate people will not be able to see the problem with this.

[@davidmarc876]

Great Video Jeff…my lease on my 22 RAV4 SE Hybrid is up in January 2025…I have owned several Camrys in the past and the only reason I Leased the RAV4 was because I had ordered two cameras, and neither one would come in by the time my lease was up. So I took what I could get and that was the cavalry blue RAV4… I do miss my Camry and it was white with the cockpit red interior… Now that RAV4’s are getting priced out of my budget… I love the looks of the new Camry. I am also pleased that it has gone hybrid with the AWD option. I will note though I don’t know if Toyota is doing the right thing by making the Camry hybrid only as I do realize there are people that do not want a hybrid. Sales will tell. Looking forward to seeing one in person at the New York international car show in April… Didn’t realize how much space was on the Camry because cargo space is something I need and with a 6 inch ground clearance with the Camry versus the 8 inch ground clearance with the RAV… I think it should be OK here in the north east winters. Was looking at the cockpit red interior for 2025, but when Jeff said it’s available with a blue interior and a black exterior, I am anxious to see how sharp that looks… Jeff, keep these videos coming as I always look forward to your review on Toyotas

[@bill.godwin-austen]

My tastes run more to the XLE. Love the updates. The only bit I don't care for is putting the 12 volt connector in the console compartment rather than in the under the dash cluster with the USB connections. It makes for a longer and more obtrusive path for the cord for components that are located on the dash or suction-cupped to the windshield. Other than that, I love it.

Hi Toyota Jeff, I am surprised that Toyota doesn't have a V6 equivalent like Subaru legacy has with the 2.4 liter turbo and 260hp 277lb ft of torque.

@daddyj6931, the suspension is soft enough to handle a pothole on either version. The tire sidewall ratio has way more to do with comfort and durability if you hit a bad one. In general, a taller 50+ sidewall will handle potholes better. That's the second number on the tire dimensions.
