Accord's WORST Nightmare | 2025 Toyota Camry

Is the all-new 2025 Toyota Camry still a value buy? We think so. Featured in this video is the Camry Hybrid XSE in the colour Ocean Gem. It has a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with 3-electric motors that produces 232 horsepower.

*We accidentally put 1.5L Engine for the Accord Hybrid on the 0-60 MPH test screen. The Accord Hybrid is a 2L engine, the non-hybrid is a 1.5L. Sorry for messing that up!

[@hamsterbrigade]

I saw one of these the other day. I was shocked at how good it looked. I don't think the pictures do a good job of portraying just how slick the profile is on this vehicle.

[@nicholasbabeaux2052]

Most definitely, I've seen a couple base versions and they look really good. That being said I do see a lot of newer chords on the road chords on the road and the design is growing on me, however the Camry is way better looking, plus finally you can get the panoramic roof❤❤

[@joshua9073]

I bought the Camry XLE ON JULY 2nd in reservoir which shows everything. No heavy metal color Camrys in my state. Solid car but the headliner is tearing apart up top but underneath the panoramic roof. I’ve just hit 40mpg’s with 315 miles on it.

Yeah I was hating on the front but it grew on me. When I finally saw one in person, I did a double take.

Actually really digging this design! It’s a long car and always has been but I feel like the contoured redesign makes it feel like less car - the Accord just seems so long and straight. Such a good review guys!!

Camry is killing accord

[@screamoemo2860]

I actually like and prefer the ‘bland’ understated look of the Accord. Though this does come with AWD.

The only problem with Accord is it is FWD Only.

[@prat-man]

Or a honda no spare in the new accord 😮

[@jameschoi6098]

I would pick the new accord hybrid over this Camry hybrid every time.....the Accord hybrid uses the electric motor much more efficiently now than the Camry and works more like an electric vehicle over this ancient hybrid system that Toyota has been using for years. And the Accord rides way more premium over the Camry.

[@saffatbokul3858]

I really wish Toyota did a better interior, really uninspiring design on this interior.

[@kevinbonquyquy1047]

Definitely agree, something about the screen and dash design makes the whole front area look so bulky and busy. It’s good that the AC controls are still buttons but functionally, having a mix of knobs and buttons is way better. This design is just a row of buttons jammed together to save space.

[@zactidwell77]

They have always had some of the worst interiors in the auto industry. So cheap and bland.

[@HM11394]

An advice for all car reviewing channels: please ask the car maker to lend you a car with light colored interiors (white, tan, brown..etc) as the black interior make the car feels dull and boring, and yes it’s also feels claustrophobic.

[@James-hm9on]

All accords come in black interior only 😮pathetic

[@Mr21scott]

Light interiors are ugly. They also turn blue from your jeans. And colors are subjective, not objective.

[@user-ty3ox3ff4h]

@Dsw8691 I got the 2021 Rav4 XLE premium for $34k right at the end of 2020 which was a steal. Houses in the cities were $180s - 250s. I kinda regret not getting the $185k house as it's $320k now.

[@paulm6481]

That’s a good looking car but too low to ground. This is why SUVs sell. No one wants to be so low in traffic when a RAV-4 is so much more higher and easier to get into and out of.

[@DiegoSanchez-fi9cf]

It looks great but sadly im still team accord lol, though the new sonata n line is looking real good.

Dealer in my area has le's for 32k to 36k, xle's 35 to 41.5k, xse's for 40 to 49k depending on how many ad ons the dealer installed. 1000$ a month for the 49k xse with 5k down. I would rather buy a slightly used german sedan thats actually fun to drive for that price. Not to mention all dealers everywhere are low balling trade ins now that the used car market has cooled down. They even had a se listed for 39k. 😂

Ya idk where that number is coming from good luck, my fully loaded awd premium plus package with upgraded wind chill pearl and every option you can imagine is $42,900 before TTL. Maybe for a plain jane le which doesn’t exist after dealer packages and accessories/markups. Call it like it is these ain’t cheap nothing is right now.

Full Size Spare? Are you sure about that? I thought it was a temporary spare. But hey at least there is one. Accord Hybrid does not have one. Same goes for most Hyundai Sonata trim levels.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Good catch, not a full-size spare. Will chop that out of the video

[@Nancoman]

My Toyota dealrship has no inventory, and optioning out a Camry to top level is ridculously expense. I'm more interested in the Civic Hybrid Sport Touring. I am a bit sad that you can't get a Civic with all wheel drive, but with these kind of cars, it's not a deal breaker. Toyota is kind of in a scary place, for me. I am a Subaru owner, and Subaru has nothing within reason that fits what I'd like from them, also. I don't think it's a good era for any car manufacturers, currently.
