2025 Toyota Camry SE: Your ULTIMATE Midsize Sedan Choice

[@jenw3246]

Upgraded from 2010 Corolla LE (300,800 miles were on it) to 2025 Camry SE in Reservoir Blue. Love it. This is my first Hybrid.

[@arnoldguisa4155]

I also I have a 2010 toyota corolla Le and planning upgrading it next year.

[@brianruperti]

Big congrats that’s some impressive mileage!

[@adrienchan2097]

I got 18 Camry hybrid, 22 sienna hybrid. 23 Prius hybrid. Love them all

[@IWeasel]

You no longer have to say hybrid because all trim levels are hybrid now and oh congratulations

[@topherinbr]

How do you like your 25 SE so far?

[@applejacks7318]

WTF this is the most detailed and succinct car review I’ve ever watched. I’ve been watching alot of reviews recently and most youtube channels are just discussing their biases of the car while only scratching the surface regarding the actual features and differentiations of the car. Really well done. New sub 👍

[@brianruperti]

Thanks so much!! 🙏🏼

[@jxmar_]

Yea he’s the best. I’m in a lot Toyota groups on FB and they don’t even know how to roll down the windows(literally). So I share them his vids

[@lindsayk1707]

Ordered my new 2025 camry se a month ago and just got it the other day. Thank you for this video😊 Ocean gem is what i choose

[@brianruperti]

Good choice! Congrats!

[@rickmajurin8601]

I just bought a white one yesterday. I absolutely love it. It will take a while to figure out All the features but thanks to you it will be a lot easier. Thank you so much. 🤙

[@brianruperti]

Congrats! Thanks for the positive vibes 😎🙏🏼

[@sh-zm7xl]

Another fabulous review Brian!!! Not only are you detailed and accurate; You also articulate your words and have a really good pace.!!!! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate how you do your reviews!!!! I’m waiting for my SE to be built

[@brianruperti]

Thank you so much! Your comment made my day!

[@ogama843]

SUPER happy with my XSE in the same color with black roof. Such a nice ride that rivals some Lexus models.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks for sharing!

[@talessantos5474]

Just picked up one today with the same color. It’s an amazing car.

[@brianruperti]

Congrats!!!

[@michaelcelis538]

Really your reviews Brian!! My wife has same color xse and my son has heavy metal se… they both love them!! Thanks again

[@brianruperti]

Rock on!

[@StephenTomko]

Came for car. Stayed for the Orient Ray on a strapcode aftermarket bracelet. All good choices here.

Just got and underground SE w blackout package and traded in my 22 TLX A Spec - it is shocking how nice this interior is! The black and white seats...😜

[@brianruperti]

Congrats! How does this compare to the TLX and why did you switch?

[@SushmaN-k2u]

Thank you very much for the comprehensive review, it has been very helpful! Keep up the good work!

Thanks, will do!

I mean if you think about it, do you really need anything more than this?

[@Kaister865]

I just bought this same car yesterday. I absolutely love the Ocean Gem color, it's very unique and such a nice color! I love how the black offsets the Ocean Gem! Ive only had it 1 day but so far i absolutely love it!

[@brianruperti]

Such a nice car. Congrats! Very special color

[@Kaister865]

@brianruperti I enjoyed your review as well, keep up the good work. It really is! Thank you sir, I appreciate that!

[@brianruperti]

@Kaister865 thanks 🙏🏼

[@ANDMF03]

I have the ‘23 nightshade (?) Camry se. Would definitely rather have this updated version. Everything looks so much better. The functional vents are unexpected. Way more attention to detail it seems. I think they did very well here. Kind of surprised tbh.

[@brianruperti]

Let’s run some numbers!

[@gusgusnft8231]

Picking my SE tomorrow morning.

[@brianruperti]

Oooooo nice what color?

[@americandude3825]

Good evening brother! Sorry. Couldn’t sleep. Haha. Saw the new camry in person. They are gorgeous. The interior is 👍🏻👍🏻

[@brianruperti]

Hey! This was supposed to drop much earlier but it took forever! I really like them! This video was one of my more enjoyable ones to make :-) I look forward for the XLE/XSEs to arrive

[@ryanduffy3589]

Great review! Thank you!

[@brianruperti]

My pleasure!

[@Cap683]

These new “entry” level trims really have everything that I could want. I opted for the LE because that is the kind of ride I wanted this time around.

[@ingenunis5003]

As ALWAYS Brian~ Great Review.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you!

[@marksmith4582]

Happy Friday Brian! Just seeing this video today. I actually like the 2025 Camry! I would be fine with a fully loaded Camry SE as long as it has a sunroof. I definitely like the new Ocean Gem color! Toyota really has improved the Camry. Even though I still like the previous generation with the 8 speed automatic! On the same note I would have no problem with this new Camry! I still prefer the existing shifter. Personal preference is all. Appreciate you sharing this with us! Do have a great weekend ahead Brian! Weather is absolutely gorgeous here in southeast Iowa today! Mid 70’s and low humidity! I’ll watch the other video on this next. Mark in Iowa.

[@brianruperti]

Hey Mark! Check out my posts recently too. The 2025 Camry is nicer than I thought! Thanks for sharing your valuable input as a Camry owner! You have a great weekend as well. We’re 85 and sunny for days! Low humidity finally…thanks for your support always!

[@jeffgerst3619]

I wish you were close to me. I’d love to buy from you. Great video I own a 21 Tacoma but fell in love with this design when I saw one a few days ago. Just amazing

[@brianruperti]

Just ordered almost exactly this car. I agree on the shifter. The new turn knob style weirds me out. Love that this has a traditional shifter.

[@brianruperti]

Big congrats! Thats super exciting when is your ETA?

[@robderka]

Being made this week (allegedly). I’ll believe it when I see it.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you! Yes same for me.

[@tb693ny6]

Thanks for the review. 1.) Ride quality and cabin noise comparison between SE and XSE? 2 ) 6 speaker stock sound system compared to 9 speaker JBL, thoughts?

[@brianruperti]

1.) similar but a little more refined on XSE 2.) jbl way better

[@michaelcelis538]

Dealer says Ocean Gem is on a waiting list. I ordered reservoir blue.

[@cbakercj]

Just ordered mine the other day and will arrive in October. This video was a great review and provided a terrific sense of what to expect! Thank you!

[@brianruperti]

Thanks for watching!

[@dashieat]

i got mine, so far the only thing i don't like is that it requires a keyless button to unlock it. It doesn't auto unlock if you try to open the door by hand.

[@ONpopularTopics]

I just got my 2025 Camry SE yesterday trading in my 2022 Corrolla LE. This is my first hybrid. Oh! I love it. By the way, why are you using your right hand to swtich on turn signals? It feels weird to me, hahaha.

[@brianruperti]

Because my left hand was being used

[@abdouett3676]

As always, a very decent review for this beauty. What are you final thoughts Brian regarding this new Camry?

[@brianruperti]

Thanks! My final thoughts would be it’s better than I thought and I’m fine without the V6. I love hybrid technology. The interior is gorgeous

[@boxerblake1]

Buying one soon enough. Just sad that I can't get the same colours as the GR86

[@kellyaustin7487]

Even though I just really hate this car, your review is excellent! Great job.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks! What do you hate the most about it if you don’t mind me asking?

[@kellyaustin7487]

@@brianruperti I don't like the design mostly. The front end mainly. The lack of engine options seems extreme. The rear exhaust cutout for dual outlet exhaust while only exiting the driver's side looks off. All of these issues are only subjective and personal tastes. I'm sure it's appreciated by more people than not. But I appreciate your review like more people than not as well One love 👍🏾

[@Ipadairpro8636]

I love a car with shifter!

[@rizwanlhr1123]

Hey bro, I bought new camry 2025 se, when it automatically switching from hybrid to gas, engine is making too much noise when I accelerate like even in slow speed as well and it shows charging the battery and running on gas, is it normal that engine makes too much noise? Highly appreciated your response. Thanks

[@brianruperti]

Hey man, the engine usually isn’t very loud. If you’re having concerns I recommend stopping by a local dealer and ask to test drive another 2025 Camry and see how that sounds. Maybe even drive 2. Rental fleets at dealers have Camrys I’m sure they’d let you drive it around the lot to compare. If you find it different and concerning, definitely bring it to service.

[@grabbadanj.a]

Same. It’s kinda weird.

[@PKwong-xq9ze]

Very good detailed review of the new Camry SE. How much is the MSRP of this vehicle? I didn’t see window sticker. 😮

[@brianruperti]

Thank you! I showed the sticker on the rear seat I believe it was 34 and change

[@kathysmith4026]

Beautiful car

[@brianruperti]

It sure is!

[@meyou-np2wk]

I like the car, although I wish I had gotten the one with heated seats. But one thing that’s annoying is when it’s in CarPlay and I get on TikTok the video sound lags pretty bad, so I put it in Bluetooth

[@brianruperti]

Interesting. You know you can get to it seats heated aftermarket at the dealership right?

[@sherrikwhiteside6107]

What did you think of the seat comfort? I know it’s subjective. I have seen mixed reviews.

[@brianruperti]

I’ve only driven it for a few and found it comfy but I’ve yet to rent one and go long term

[@sherrikwhiteside6107]

How is the seat comfort in this car? It’s always one of the very few concerns with the Camry.

[@brianruperti]

Very subjective you have to try yourself. I think it’s comfy but not luxury.

[@treymtz]

Personally, I hate dials for the shifter. I used them before in my mom's vehicle and you lose how much control you have over the accuracy of where it lands as it is soooo easy to over turn or under turn the dial.

[@Sherwinhakhakdog]

hello sir, how much is the ‘25 SE fwd with and without moon roof? thank you

[@brianruperti]

Hi please visit Toyota.com for pricing

[@whatwhome6914]

Ya... I will probably get a 2025 Camry next year.

[@brianruperti]

You will be VERY happy. What color?

[@michaelvella8511]

The spare tire is a deal maker for me...

[@MrPetrello]

Are the SE seats actually more comfortable than the leather seats in the XLE ??

[@brianruperti]

That’s up for debate because the XLE seats are very nice but some people prefer more basic style.

[@its_that_Buster_Beater]

There is some short trips that I take and my average mpg shows 10mpg after I turn off the car, and this is driving at speed limit not pressing on the gas except obviously at lights and stop signs but the engine engages too fast like 15mph I can already here the engine

[@brianruperti]

How short of trips

225hp FWD or 232 hp AWD....but no mention of thtorque rating....What is the torque of this engine?

[@ericd1632]

Hey Brian great review as always! I may be in the minority here but I think this newest version of the Camry is ugly af, at least from the front. I hate that hammerhead shark looking piece hanging off the front of the hood. Not a fan of the pieces covering part of the tail lights either. That being said I do like what they've done with the interior. But I'm definitely hanging on to my 2020 LE that is paid off. The exterior styling looks way better imo. Very detailed review, really enjoy your laid back content. And I'm sorry to hear you're having health issues. Godspeed to a full recovery brother

[@brianruperti]

Hey Eric thank you! I felt the same for a while I will admit. The 2020 LE is a keeper car. Thank you I appreciate your kind words and support I’m trying hard to recover! 🙏🏼good days and bad days just gotta be strong in this life
