7 REASONS WHY 2025 CAMRY IS THE BEST SEDAN TOYOTA HAS EVER MADE

[@tonysmeriglio5004]

I've got the V6 previous model. The power train is amazing, I'm keeping mine as it can't be replaced moving forward. Great video, Camry is not boring, it just does the job without any fuss.....

[@spendous]

I test drove one and now I want it. I am waiting to see what the 2025 Lexus ES will look like.

[@AvoCet-bi1lf]

Drove a rental 2025 from Detroit Airport, MI to Naperville, IL and back on a single tank of gas. 620 miles. Was blown away.

[@fmmnta]

It is a Camry.., it is very good, efficient, reliable and reasonably priced.

[@Taras-Nabad]

It's amazing that Toyota has been making a successful car like the Camry for over 40 years. That is truly amazing.

[@lescobrandon3047]

I recently got a 2025 XLE AWD. I love the handling most of all, especially since I had traded in my 18 year old huge 2006 Toyota Avalon Limited. Both cars are metalic white but I had eliminated the moon roof with the XLE since I had found it useless and noisy with the old one.

This is without a doubt the best sedan on the market. No accord,altima, sonata, optima can come close

[@Jack-pd4ps]

The Accord is the only one that comes close. The Altima is fun to drive but bad road conditions will cause back to back problems.

[@hassansmw5634]

@Jack-pd4ps true the accord is the best out of the other sedans, however with 1.5L turbo engines, the accord isn't going to be a long lasting sedan

[@Jack-pd4ps]

@@hassansmw5634 yup it’s crazy how Toyota basically “downsized” the engines in their bigger vehicles except for the Camry Hybrid. The grand Highlander has a similar setup to the Camry. The Camry is definitely overbuilt and that’s why they last so long. You’d think the new Camrys would’ve gotten the Corolla setup but they still put the 2.5 in it. Lol

[@hassansmw5634]

@Jack-pd4ps Toyota downsized the cars that have the V6 and V8 engines, but they won't downsize the 4 cyl cars.

[@reludennis]

The best sedan is actually my 2005 Camry 4 cyl 5 speed standard built in Japan. Has 220 k miles and runs excellent. Has better driving position than my 2015 Camry, higher ground clearance, floats over rough roads easier, has better headlights(best i have ever seen on any Toyota) , better heat inside in winter and just a tank overall... Scotty Kilmer called that 2005 generation Camry the best vehicle ever made...i agree ....with my old 2001 toyota echo as a close second...and my 2008 yaris a 3rd place.

[@jeretso]

Hi David, I am impressed especially with LE. I just wish it had a Hatchback version at LE price. Sedan trunk is just a bad use of space. No one puts anything behind the backseat headrests.

[@Offensively-normal]

David. Would you consider the new Camry a first year production? You had recently advised avoiding purchasing first year production. Personally, I classified it as a heavy redesign. Then bought one.

[@anicom8686]

wanted one ,went to a Toyota dealership, was told that I had to wait 3-4 months. So got the 2025 Honda civic hybrid.

[@Shane-zx4ps]

I’m a Lexus es300h owner and I’m saying to myself do you need anything else but a Camry hybrid?, I don’t think so.

Thanks a lot sir for making this insightful video. In India this is going to be launch in December. And I am excited to see Toyota bringing its one of the best products to us. Cheers!!! Love from India.

[@wessreiley8275]

I bought one of the last TRD’s in Florida about 6months ago. Once I found out no more v6 engine I was all over it. Oh and still has the traditional transmission and analog gauges.

[@AllenReinecke]

Our 2025 XLE AWD is now at 8k. It's a very quiet, comfortable ride indeed, though the seats are somewhat hard, taking a few minutes to get used to, and lacking side support. Not uncomfortable though. The brakes are the best I've ever experienced; great feel. We are at just over 47 mpg over 20 tank fills, now dropping a little as the cold weather kicks in. The car warms up quickly too in freezing temps. When you need acceleration, it really delivers; very punchy! I don't like the Dynamica fabric trim. It should be leather in an XLE. Overall, an awesome sedan. ❤

[@TXL-BER]

If David says it’s good, then it’s good. Thanks for sharing your insights. I have a 2022 Subaru Touring XT that, overall, is a good car. I have my eye on a Lexus IS 350 F Sport, maybe even a Lexus ES 300h. But I’ll have to consider this new Camry.

[@will_in_texas]

Thanks for this review. I’m going to preference order an SE AWD next week in Underground

[@marcelpatel9017]

Still driving my 2005 Camry, which in my humble opinion is one of the best generations of Camry - 2002-06 (5th generation). My car is absolutely solid, leather is in perfect shape, everything feels durable. Huge trunk, great mpg... Over 350,000kms. Toronto Canada.

[@sal9805]

How do you keep your Heather in good shape? What do you use to maintain the leather; and how often?

[@BrianNC81]

Hoping they bring a GR Camry to the market. Something with sub 5 second 0-60 times while still getting 40mpg.

[@_mao_K]

Great video David!

[@bjsimon802]

The new camry drives better, and is better camry than last gen. Good savings like the corolla

[@marklohmann6267]

Did you test the XLE? Good video. I’m on the fence deciding on the XSE or XLE

[@andrewhoule7448]

I drove both. The XLE is marginally quieter due to it having 18 inch wheels versus 19 inch ones. Plus the ride is tuned to be slightly firmer. But to tell you the truth it was a toss up. As I said in my previous post the deal breaker was no memory seats in the XSE which I thought was a serious oversight.

[@Joka2122]

Fair point and I agree. If you are going for visuals, go with the XSE. If you are thinking functionality and amenities, go with XLE. If you can do without memory seating and a slightly stiffer ride, go with XSE. If you prefer a slightly smoother ride with memory seating, XLE. Hard choices. Wish they made a vehicle that had it all.

[@rightlanehog3151]

David, You are much more of a world traveler than I will ever be but the last time I checked, Kentucky is substantially closer to Canada than Japan is. For that reason I am confused why Toyota brings the Corolla LE Hybrid all the way across the Pacific but refuses to bring the fabulous Camry LE up from Kentucky*. World famous KZbinr Kirk Kreifels has repeatedly stated the LE is the Camry to get. With snow falling in Ontario as we speak, surely the Camry LE AWD on comfortable 16" rims is the best one for our four seasons. Only when the Camry is again available as a wagon will I consider the possibility that it is superior to the Crown Signia and I bet AMD will agree with me. 😉😉 * I wonder if our PM just rushed to Florida to arrange free trade in Camry LEs. 🤔

[@reludennis]

@@rightlanehog3151 why not a Rav 4? Same power train higher ground clearance for snow? Same reliability?

[@reludennis]

@rightlanehog3151 my question was : why not a rav4 with higher ground clearance for his snowy Canadian winters? The newer tnga camry/all toyota sedans have very low ground clearance and he will damage the bumper on frozen snow mounds left over from plowing. Hence...why not the rav4?

[@burningknuckle26]

100% agree. 25' camry is a gem.

[@amill1563]

I like it but I thought it was nearly identical mechanically to the last gen.

[@jacobmartinez8145]

For me, its between this trim 25 Camry, and RAV4 Prime XSE PP

[@andrewhoule7448]

I purchased an XLE version with the premium plus package. It’s a great vehicle. I would have loved to purchase the XSE, but not having the memory seats was a deal breaker. Since my wife and myself share the car it’s a great vehicle option to have. I think Toyota dropped the ball by not having the availability of that option in the XSE. Other than that the XLE trim has been a great choice.

[@ewxlt]

5.4” of ground clearance is sad.

[@majed6956]

Why is that? Buy a Corolla Cross if you need to go off-roading in the Target parking lot.

The best sedan Toyota has ever made is hands down the Lexus LS 430. Those are solid well made absolutely smooth as butter tanks on wheels. One of the highest quality sedans Lexus/Toyota has ever built.

[@Diggin00]

@@Diggin00 Also too much cheap plastics in the newest stuff, and they just don’t build them as solid feeling like they used too. Sheetmetal/body panels are thinner etc..Driving an LS 430 almost feels like driving an EV since many times I can’t even tell if my LS 430 is running, it’s that smooth and super quiet inside, it’s unbelievable really a car that’s 20 years old can run so silently, while something brand new is raspy and noisy riding and driving inside in comparison.

[@petertrout7866]

I’d like to see whether this would handle better than a 2025 Honda accord.

[@Tritonal92]

I've test driven both, they're about on the same level now. It used to be that the Camry was less dynamic in the handling department, but not really the case anymore. The 2025 MY is way more flat and actually somewhat fun to chuck around corners.

[@petertrout7866]

@ interesting, thanks!

[@drift6785]

This 9th gen is cool. But sorry I think the 8th gen is still the better vehicle especially exterior design wise. I just think the 9th gen has a terrible looking front end that looks like a beck/mouth and the tailights are weirdly small looking. Honestly at this point that little lip spoiler should be needed no more its tiny But interior (besides the steering wheel) and tech this one beats it for sure since you get rear vents for all trims levels. The 8th gen gave u all types of powertrain, i4, v6, and hybrid it's still the best gen in my opinion. But this is a very close second. All that said this beats the accord light years away. It's better looking and you get a hybrid powertrain without paying a premium. Plus it isn't hard since the current accord is just disgusting looking.

[@adrienchan2097]

Thanks. I will get one 2027-2028 Camry XLE.

Very impressed with the new Camry, which I’ve never said before lol. I kind of feel that the 2025 is peak sedan and I’m ready to see where Toyota takes the Camry when it goes full electric.

[@AtuMan190]

David today I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with you. It may be the best large full size sedan. But as a sedan, I don't think it's possible for any car at all to beat the Corolla LE. Nevertheless, I will pick a Camry over a Mercedes E-Class every day of the week. And the e-class was for many years my favorite sedan.

[@ChrisRobato]

Nah. Nothing is as tough as the Toyota Crown Comfort. Started as a luxury sedan and a fleet car for the Japanese government to becoming an ubiquitous taxi in both Japan and Hong Kong till the present day. Not bad for a sedan introduced in the early nineties.

Have you driven the new Crown and the ES? Both Kirk and I have driven them back to back, and the new Camry drives better than both of them. In terms of luxury, the ES wins hands down but in terms of agility and handling, the Camry is the best.
