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

[@Taras-Nabad]

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

[@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.....

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]

Went from a Lexus 2005 ES 330 to a 2025 XLE about a month ago. Lexus has always had a great ride. Cant beat the comfort, controls, and mpg of the Camry. Only wish that when you open the driver door at night, the door panel buttons light up to show the unlock button to unlock the other doors. Door panellights up when headlights are on. I also wish the JBl stereo was louder.

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.

[@wessreiley8275]

[@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.

[@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. ❤

[@_mao_K]

Great video David!

[@Anthony-ns8ef]

I just picked up a 2025 SE.. I kinda wish I got top trim but the SE was more within my budget. It drives great. Super locked in steering and handling. I may be missing out on some of the top trim interior luxury but tbh the sound system in the SE is still pretty good

[@mayank281985]

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

[@MarcNeilson]

I agree, this car is rather impressive and I hope it brings back the popularity of sedans in the US!

[@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.

[@will_in_texas]

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

[@jefflass699]

I think the SE is sharper than the XSE. Enjoy!

I sure wish they would make wagon versions of these Japanese sedans (Camry, Accord, Civic, etc).

[@raymondmiller2780]

Look at the Toyota Crown Signia. Hybrid SUV version of the Crown sedan…

[@AccurateShooter]

@@raymondmiller2780 I was excited about the Crown Signia and drove it in August. Inside is good. But -- low-beam headlight projection is way too low even adjusted to max height with dash control. That was a deal-breaker. It also lacks a spare tire and that is NOT available as an option. Finally, the cost was WAY too high. $56,000 for the upper model as delivered in California. I came to the dealer ready to buy a Crown Signia -- after a night test and looking at the price I said "no way".

I like the Mazda cx50. Hybrid with a spare tire. Mazda installed Toyotas proven hybrid system. Reviews of this one are good. Toyota owns part of Mazda.

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.

Camry the best and most reliable car. My mom bought a new 2015 camry during her 50th birthday, she wasn’t really savvy about cars and she drove it until 2023 with 116,000 miles having only 4 oil changes in its life. It looks 8/10 but maintenance was severely neglected. When trade in comes, the dealer paid market price for it and she is now on a 2024 Highlander. Great car. Toyotas are now Premium cars, gone are the days that they are for the masses.

[@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?

I still maintain that the new Camry is the little brother of the Crown.

I actually like the crown body style a little more tbh..i just like how unique it looks, but I'm considering a Camry as well to replace my Prius.

[@alexanderg117]

I agree with you on almost EVERY point - except ONE, unfortunately. True, they’re beautiful, relatively affordable, efficient, and even sexy to some degree. But, for Toyota to build their mid-sized (and mid-priced) sedans for close to forty years now with NO rear trunk hinge covers and ugly, raw metal exposed is just … inexcusable in my opinion. They may add $10- of plastic per side to the total cost, true, but would improve the looks, the safety, and the CLASS of their sedans by leaps and bounds! Such a misstep is surprising, and not cool at all. 😢

That's a very surprising verdict as someone that grew up in a Camry! Have you compared it with something similar such as Honda Civic Hybrid? or Accord? Just curious how the two may compare? Thx!

[@bobfoss9446]

Interesting. I'd lean toward the XSE as it has full leather, while the XLE has cloth with it, but I wonder if the smaller wheels on the XLE would mean a better ride. Reviewers seem to think the real bargain in the line is the LE...cheapest price, lightest weight, best EPA, smoothest riding with small wheels, but I guess I'd be a sucker for the red/black interior on the XSE. I guess my question is was the XSE reasonably comfortable riding with not too much vibration? My wife and I are seniors and we did have a 19" wheeled Mercedes 350 GLC that road well. Thanks.

Hi David! When do you think Toyota will put the 5th generation THS in Lexus ESh and Crown Signia? I find it unbelievable that Crown Signia doesn't even have it, as it's the newest flagship from Toyota.

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.
