2025 Toyota Camry LE is rated 51 MPG... My real-world results are SHOCKING

[@KirkKreifels]

Some have asked which driving mode I prefer on the new Camry. ECO mode is perfect for maximizing mpg. It allows for very predictable and precise control to manipulate the hybrid system just right to acheive the best MPG results. Normal and Sport are far too aggressive of a throttle for me. This applies to all 5th gen Toyota hybrids I've tested (2024+ Camry, Prius, UX, Corolla Cross, Camry). Cheers!

[@peterjordan2738]

This is the problem I have with my wife. She drives a Murano, guns it at times, breaks hard. I just don't think she can change her driving habits to maximize MPGs. She does not take her foot off the break when exiting etc. Oh well...

[@GlennLaycock]

That is just amazing - we do not get the LE here; one model up SE?? but they add a few tweaks to it .. CONSIDERABLY less expensive than the Accord as in like $8000 here. Fascinating the battery on AC - is it pretty powerful air? It is frustrating how people sprint between the lights - racing to the next one. Our lights are not timed here so "the next light" is a bit of a mystery unless you travel there a lot to know the "length of the greens" and so on. Shoot what is it, halfway through August and we finally have lines on maybe 60% of the roads - so even lane assist is not in operation a lot in my case.

Please review a Nissan Versa with a manual transmission. That would be the inverse of this Toyota Camry LE hybrid. The Versa is underpowered at 1.6L naturally aspirated. Their manual transmission is a 5 speed, which should favor local driving, and be suboptimal at freeway speeds of 65+. I would call the Versa a reprise of the 1980's econobox sedan with modern engine management technology. I would love to see how it does for fuel economy in a real world test.

I bought a 2025 Camry LE a couple of weeks ago. I agree with the points you made in this video. I specifically chose the LE to get the 16 inch rims (small rims are better for tires on rough roads). After 170 miles, my car says I am getting 51.5 mpg and the actual is 49.5. Mostly city miles. I think the actual and computer will be more aligned after a higher mile sample. lol, I was hoping it would be way off in the positive but 50mpg is strong. Overall, I am thrilled with the purchase and highly recommend to others thinking about it.

And pls continue reviewing the poverty-spec, esp hybrids: tons of new families and practical-minded people out of necessity these days, need a break and are looking for real and truth, not flash and 20s-mpg and bent rims on potholes from the 40-series wheels pushed by mfrs for decades.

Very interesting to see that a lot of Toyota’s hybrids get better mpgs than the EPA. We currently own the new LC with the hybrid 2.4lt and it has been impressive despite the fact that it’s just a mild hybrid. We can easily achieve north of 25mpg going 70mph, but if we cruise at about 50mph in the city with little traffic we’ve seen 30mpg. Even when towing, with a payload of about 1,000-2,000lbs it still averages roughly 18mpg in comparison to our previous Ram Ecodiesel which generally manages about 16-17mpg as a diesel.

I have a 2020 Hybrid Accord, which gets around 47mpg in mixed driving. After installing new spark plugs (I purchased it used), that mileage has climbed to about 51mpg. After your review I wanted to try the new Camry. So I went to our local mega int'l airport and queried Hertz, Avis and Enterprise. Got a new (3000 miles on it) 2025 LE Camry. Filled up the tank and took it on a 95% highway 250mile round trip, driving at a cruise speed of 65 miles per hour. I got 55 mpg on that trip. The next, after filling it up again, I took it on a 398 miles highway round trip, with cruise set at 69-72. I achieved 51 miles per gallon. I was impressed. What I didn't like was mainly the interior, which looked like it was much cheaper and plastic laden, than the Sport Accord Hybrid, that I've rented a few times. My only other complaint was the steering was not as accurate or responsive compared to the new Accord. The better value is the Camry though, because its LE price is just at or under $30,000. Whereas the lowest hybrid Accord is closer to $34,000. That is quite a big jump up to justify the Accord Sport. Even with that though, I'd pick the new Accord over the Camry.

Last week I drove up and and down to Italy from the the Netherlands in my 2019 Hybrid Camry. I think it is an xle equivalent with 18 inch wheels. All and all I drove about 1120 miles.

As a Tesla owner, Gas for this is cheaper than electric for my Model 3! Other Tesla owners will deny it but its the truth. Electric price is only going up. Gas goes with the market. Factor in higher insurance for Tesla and well if you are really trying to save this car is the better choice. People might even want to add oil change and brakes in there but even with that at 0 for Tesla the tires which wear out faster cost more than oil change and brakes.

Converting to an easy to grasp number, using the average price of gasoline per gallon, 62 mpg at a price of $3,374, means around 5.4c per mile. Converting to metric, it's around 3.4c per km. Assuming charging at home, an EV costs between 1c and 10c per km. (I know, big range), depending on electricity contracts and EV efficiency. But the new Camry is $5000 cheaper than a brand new EV. (around $30,000 vs $35,000), so that is an important offset. Going further with the calculation, in a 10 y period, assuming the gasoline and electricity prices don't start getting much further apart, the best an EV owner could expect is a 2c per km gain on this Toyota hybrid, which, at a 20000 km yearly average (or about 12000 miles) means a gain of $400 yearly, so in a decade $4000 saving over the hybrid. Still the price of the Toyota is better. On the other hand, there are those pesky oil changes every 6000 miles, so let's say that after 10 yrs, the best case scenario, the hybrid and the EV cost the same. In the worst case scenario, the EVs continue to be more expensive than the hybrid. And there is of course the new Corrola, that is even cheaper. However, the big assumption is that the gasoline prices will stay low enough that this calculation works. If somehow in the next 10 years, all subsidies and tax savings for the oil companies will get nixed (and that is an estimated $20 billion per year) , we might end up with a much higher fuel price. I honestly don't think this could happen, but it's a scenario worth considering. While the electricity could be generated by anybody with a roof, for the gasoline the things are a little different. So it depends on each of us to consider which is better for them. The reality is that if you drive more and often (like 1000 miles per week), an EV might not be convenient for you. Or if you live in an appartment, and can't charge overnight, then the price per km is much higher for an EV owner, where the fast charging gets up to 10 times more expensive than home charging. All in all, these hybrids are a very solid proposition from Toyota, basically a slam dunk, and even if there could be something else cheaper to operate, these cars are very nice, the system is very durable and simple to maintain (I know, I owned a Prius for a few years), and overall, it's a great car for the money.

Or how about if you have 50kW of solar arrays to charge your EV?

[@bytemark6508]

@@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity I agree that an EV could be cheaper to own (and charge/refill) than a hybrid, but other than personal preference, I don't believe the difference should be substantial. I personally own a 2018 Nissan Leaf (to replace my old Prius) because it was a good deal (bought it used, around 16k CAD). I only driving in town, because when it comes to long distance travel, non-Tesla EVs are a very risky proposition. A friend has a Tesla and we took a trip a few months ago, other than a little more waiting time than you would have in a gas car (like 20-30 minutes more per the total trip), it was really nice, and plus cheaper, I believe he paid around $30 (CAD) for the whole trip. The total distance was about 750km (say 500 miles), and we had to stop twice. I personally would have stopped anyway just to "shake the snake", so it wasn't a big deal, and I suppose it's a very mild incovenience. On the other hand, I witnessed a dude with an ID4 messing around with the "other charger". Not only he had to wait for another car, to finish he was projeting a stop for about 50 minutes. Brutal really. In North America Tesla is the only way to go if you want an EV.

This LE would look so much better with black wheels. It's not the large tires that make this car look cheap. It's the silver rims.

[@Vinnhhhhhhhh]

I got a 2020 hybrid LE and I get on average 56 mpg per tank, what an amazing car for daily commute

[@MotoStylus-z8r]

There is a similar story going on with other recent Toyota hybrids. The "rated" MPG can be routinely beaten if you drive conservatively in ECO mode, and it works like that not only with the Camry (tested), but also with the Prius, Corolla, Lexus UX, Venza/Lexus NX, Lexus RX, Sienna & Highlander.

[@blitzchaserjzx100]

On my 10 year old Lexus IS300h I got 67.3mpg UK on a 3hr 8 minute long drive on Irish roads recently.

[@rightlanehog3151]

We never got that Lexus model in North America. I have already done the calculation n the Camry, Kirk was getting 75 mpg Imperial.

[@bcw686]

That is just ridiculous numbers!

[@djSmokeShow]

I bought the SE AWD today. If you are reading this and worried that this new Camry may not be fast enough, go drive one and you will quickly see just how fast it is. I don't see how any car company could compete with this new Camry at this price point and deliver this type of gas mileage. It's VERY impressive. The SE has 18" wheels and Continental tires and when I test drove it I was actually laughing at how well it handled. TOTALLY unexpected. I know I took a little bit of a gas mileage hit getting the SE and AWD but good lord talk about having best of both worlds, handles amazing and still gets stellar mileage.

[@curiouspeople6441]

Wow I definitely want a 2025 Camry now 😊

[@felixcato4478]

Toyota is great, I have a 2024 Sienna Platinum AWD and I’m getting on average 43MPG.

[@damacknificent151]

You should do the same test on se and xle models

[@azeez8399]

Wow! Great car and great review. ⭐

[@1717jbs]

Really enjoyed this vid. Thanks

[@harmonk8012]

The lack of dual-pane glass and traffic noise is a good thing, I would argue. It adds to safety when you can't necessarily see the side vehicles, but you can hear them.

[@erictremblay4940]

Big question here; do you have more head room in LE model than the other models with the sun roof? I sat in the awd model with the sun roof - and the roof is just too low. (The side rail of the sun roof is too thick). 😢

[@sergemikulin1919]

2026 Camry should have plug-in trim and energy monitor

[@harryagrotis326]

The bottom line is in this day and age there's absolutely no reason that a basic family transportation everyday car not to be delivering at least 40 mpg. 😮

[@kanmuri904]

Hell yeah! I think Toyota definitely understates their EPA ratings.. I have a 2019 SE nightshade 2.5 and it gets 30-34 with me having fun and getting into the throttle. (I’ve done an intake and an exhaust mod so it sounds loud, and surprisingly good. VERY close to an NA Nissan sr20 Silvia engine.) but if I drive it easy and conservatively, I can get 40-44MPG in a NON HYBRID!!?? I find that crazy especially considering the weight and size of the vehicle

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

62 with ac is great. Probably about what I'll get. Now i don't want the nicer xse

[@2004cyrus]

I just bought the XLE- very smooth.

[@Marcus-id5ur]

My AWD LE has gotten 50, 47 and 48 the first three fillups. Had eco mode on a lot in that first fillup.

[@rightlanehog3151]

I would go for AWD as well.

[@danadamson1709]

live in Toronto, have an order a 2025 Highlander Platinum Hybrid 30 months wait thus far, any idea when i can at least see a pic of what they will look like? Thank you =great videos

[@peterkauss5852]

Unfortunately, no 2025 Camrys on the lot in Brockville, Ontario.

[@jayjudd6518]

Toyota 25 crown XLE I think it holds 15.5 gallons but it has those big tires so I think they’re 19th has leather seats this year as I think you’ve said. Have you mentioned that they’re supposed to have some kind of film on the windows that is supposed to make it more like home glass where it won’t let some of the infrared in.

[@franklinsteen4721]

we found out about low profile tires while driving in Ireland. Hit pot hole or curb and got a flat with the low profile tyres on a Skoda.

[@CarlosMartinez-mr1qb]

Great Review!!! Do u think rhe SE will be worth the upgrade?? Thank you

[@marloncordero6233]

I have a 2025 SE and Im averaging 43-45mpg 18 inch wheels
