[@kennethhardy836]

I’m in the market for a vehicle. I’ve always heard do not get a car in its first year of a new model. Considering the ‘25 Camry basically has the same frame/build as a ‘24 Camry, does this rule of thumb go out the window?

[@kbb]

It definitely depends. In this case, for the reason you listed, it's probably safe. This is using the brand new 5th generation of their hybrid system, so it's very much proven at this point.

Are they going to make a TRD trim for the new Camry

[@gedaman]

Maybe not again since the V6 is discontinued. The Camry TRD was kind of special. It handled much better than I ever expected.

[@kbb]

There is a strong possibility that either a TRD Camry or GR Camry will come later with the 340 hp Hybrid Max powertrain from the Crown and Grand Highlander. No official word yet.

[@wilpotocki2453]

I have a 2017 Camry Camry SE and I love it. Not thrilled with Toyota switching to CVTs. I've had a car (another brand) with a CVT and hated it, and the transmission was always giving me problems. My current car has a 6-speed automatic, and I dont like cars getting less ground clearance. It makes it harder to get into and out. I had a friend that just bought a Toyota Crown Limited. Beautiful car and rides higher

Your power number seems off. Toyota has said 225 for FWD and 232 for AWD. To my knowledge, they haven't listed torque numbers.

[@dontroj1598]

I think the 232 figure is actually the HP for AWD, not torque. Toyota hasn't published combined torque #s but the engine produces only 163 lb.-ft.

Kind of a odd ergonomics the way the passenger side dash blocks access to the USB Charge ports and makes it more driver centric. Just what the driver doesn't needs more distractions while driving.

[@beekaye1496]

While the power train is better for the mileage it provides, the styling isn’t that great in my opinion. Great review Lynn as always

[@user-zw3kp7uo6n]

That's a very good review. The design of the new Camry has changed significantly, but I think it's good. However, I think the space in the back seat is a little small. The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder hybrid uses Toyota's latest generation hybrid system, and I believe it offers powerful driving, excellent fuel efficiency, and environmental performance.

[@stevendwalker]

Lane keep assist is standard on safety sense. Regardless of trim.

[@rickiek]

As great and hassle free the Camry is, I feel like I prefer the modern Honda Accord design language just a bit more. Great review, as always.

The gen Camry looks really good, esp in SE and XSE trims. Initially, I hated the cheese grater grille, but it looks good in those 2 trims due to the honeycomb. The new Accord just doesn't look right. It's side profile/silhouette looks like a hatchback---not a fan of that look

[@TheLifetraveler1]

I cannot believe that Toyota did not learn their lesson with the previous Camry. The lesson is that if you're going to be producing a car for people it needs to have all of the safety features on all of the trim lines. Honda failed to provide all the safety features for the 2023 model. But they corrected that for 2024, and all cars get all the safety features, including blind side monitoring and Lane keep assist. I could not buy the new Toyota because they cheapened out for the least expensive models.

All vehicles need to become hybrid. Honda should have been the leader and done this to the Accord first, not half hybrid and half not. Hopefully soon the Accord will drop all ICE only engines and go hybrid only as well. I currently drive a Honda hybrid and won't own another ICE again. Driving is believing. Save the planet, drive hybrids ( and eventually electric only on sustainable electricity).
