Car Tech - 2015 Toyota Camry XLE V6

[@mobeen1982]

Only Brian Cooley can get me to watch a video about a Toyota Camry

[@pastorgoof]

same here, I am waiting for him to do the 2016 malibu

[@Andrew-zv4fm]

Same here.

[@myvolvoforlife]

0-60 in 5.7sec is pretty damn good for a 10 year old engine with an "old" 6 speed conventional auto.

[@Toyota4Life]

The camry gets alot of respect from people who aren't sheep because we know the camry is a damn good car. Does everything well while giving you a car that will last. Reliability, dependability, fast, comfy, low maintenance, clean styling etc whats there's not to respect? I had 3 camrys in my family of cars I will NEVER talk bad about any camry because they have been good to me they get my respect everytime. Like i said sheep ( insert sheep noise here) they just go along with what the other sheep says.

[@edgurrr]

They're safe cars and all, but I'm young and don't want to be seen driving one. Can you blame me?

[@ZoidsXtwonine]

LuBano Dude, I whip the shit out of my mom's 99 Cam. No shame whatsoever.

[@CityLifeinAmerica]

Young? Be thankful you can even afford a $32,000 car. I love the Camry, and I'm 25.

[@edgurrr]

Even though they may not be true anymore, there are perceptions that Camry's are for older people that don't care about performance. Plus I remember learning to drive in our old '12 Camry and boy was it the opposite of fun. To me at least.

[@AndroidSucks]

ANDROID SUCKS IPHONE IS THE BEST I ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT WHY THIS IS TRU IN MY VIDEOS! DELETE ALL UR VIDEOS CUAS MINE ARE BETTER!

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

I bought a Black on Black XSE V6 last month. I love it!!! That V6 is a winner, has amazingly strong power, is extremely refined & sounds terrific! It's also my first V6! I'd take a V6 over a Turbo 4 any day.

[@littlefields]

I let out a sight of relief every time I hear Brian Cooley's voice instead of the black guy or the old guy.

[@kara88bg]

When Brian Cooley says no fussy drive mode buttons we all know he wanted to say fu*king and fully agree.

[@wtDrake]

I used to be like all of you, making fun of the Camry as an appliance. Test drove an SE model and ended up buying it. Best daily driver I ever owned, period. The ergonomics and transmission make it a breeze driving everyday.

[@dani1235a]

The background music is way to distracting... It was really difficult to finish the video because of it

[@KingTriton1837]

dani1235a but you made it through!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@loganknupp9034]

awww poor guy

[@IamFreddyG]

I never ever thought I'd own a toyota but I traded in my Altima for a Camry SE and it is a great, fun car to drive. Now I can say that Toyota stepped up their game big time.

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

+Alfredo Galban I drove a 2007 Altima for 4 years and replaced it with a Camry XSE V6. Been driving it for a year now & it's been amazing so far! My Altima was fun, but had transmission and battery problems. I drove a 2006 Corolla before my Altima for 5 1/2 years & it didn't have a single problem.

[@EAS573182]

I'm 27 and I love my new Toyota Camry XSE. I don't understand why some say younger people shouldn't drive a Camry. What other car could be as good as this one? It is a mid-size sedan so it's perfect for when you want to start a family. It gets decent gas mileage and the XSE trim is quite peppy and fun to drive. It's no Mazda 6, but who cares? I will take reliability, resale value, wider dealer network, and reputation over a faster car any day. If I wanted a faster car, I would have spent the extra money to buy a real sports car. For what most young people need, the Camry is a GREAT car.

[@jblyon2]

Aneesh Sompalli I picked up an XSE V6 just over a week ago (I'm 29 for the record). It handles surprisingly well, yet isn't a jarring ride, is loaded with all the options, and it goes like mad. Due to the 'relatively' light weight there really isn't another V6 sedan that can beat the 0-60 time...pretty much just the Taurus SHO, and that's just barely faster...with 2 turbos. I'll probably trade it in in ~3 years, but even if I kept it for 10 the chances that I'd encounter a reliability problem are slim to none. Everything in it just seems to work too. Entune might not be a perfect infotainment system, but there's a reason it's rated far better than any other offering.

[@EAS573182]

jblyon2 You will have NO problems, trust me. I owned a 1998 3.0L V6 Toyota Camry for 18 years and 200,000 miles with NO major issues at all. That thing still got up and moved every time I hit the pedal. I decided to go for the I4 version for the 2015 Camry XSE and I love this damn car too.

[@Theholyrosary1989]

+Aneesh S I have a 2016 LE 2.5L and it runs great! The Camry 2.5 and the Mazda 6 2.5 are within a couple of tenths of a second. Now look at reliability.... Camry for the win!

[@keyduce]

+Leejack 27 Toyota is number 2 in reliability and Mazda6 is 4th

[@pastorgoof]

I am 27 and i think you need to get some fca product of gm

[@Solstice8088]

Holy Crap! 5.7 Seconds to reach 0-60? That's amazing actually! I know sports cars with slower acceleration times then that.

[@CynicalBastard511]

Buy it in beige with the most boring looking wheels and have fun leaving so-called sports cars in your V6 dust.

[@BatteryGeekReviews]

Didn't know these were so quick. This darn thing will keep up with most v8 pickup trucks and large cars like a 300c.

[@tbtran1RICH1]

I just got a Toyota Camry hybrid and I drive about 200 miles a week, and I only pump about $10-$15 each week here in Houston Texas. Mileage is fantastic! Smooth and quiet ride.

[@CityLifeinAmerica]

I have owned a Camry, and they are very very nice dependable cars. Next car of mine will be, you guessed it, another Camry.

[@fracturedmind8124]

Since this refresh Camry came out I always thought of it as an appliance that you actually like to own. The Camry has a well earned rep for reliability, and I’ve always preferred the Camry to the Accord.

[@DarkFusion1080]

I think I'll stay with the accord has a nice blend of comfort, reliability, sport, and fun as my 93 accord proved to me.

[@MQZ17]

The front grille looks like an original Cylon from Battlestar Galactica.

[@sgabriel]

"Taildraggers". Nice aviation reference!

[@Gtbomb1]

Best commuter car there is, no timing belt to change at 100k. V6 provides a lot of power for those hills and a little Friday fun

[@Jarl_69]

It looks like they're compensating the lack of driving dynamics with the abundance of overly curvy exterior panels...

[@Fussinated]

It looks like you are compensating your hatred by over trusting what other say about the Camry.

[@txmoney]

Fugly. A great all around reliable car, though. However, if I wanted similar reliability and performance but slightly better styling, I would choose the Accord.

[@Casualdriver]

I am a Honda guy but Honda's automatics SUCK. Just check the Accord's history... Even my 08 csx-s (same thing as civic si but with Acura) had problems with the manual transmission... I really hope they fix it soon because we wouldn't want the new Type R to be shaded with a bad transmission.

[@oldtwins]

Mr Horse Face That's actually not the problem with the accord v6 auto. The problem is you have zero ability to control what gear you're in. No, not just talking about lack of paddle shifters, or the lack of a +/- on the shifter. It's the lack of even "1", "2" notches on the shifter. Not sporting at all. Try going through the mountains in one of these. SUCKS.

[@Casualdriver]

The long term does suck thought... check the 98-03 accord... even the new ILX has major transmission problems (check car complaints website)... that's the only thing that honda has trouble with.

[@Fussinated]

You are an idiot. You are right about the car though.

[@poppindavid]

Content May Be Good Gaming a

[@b.f.378]

Love the front end, especially on the SE & XSE trims, but I HATE the tail lights. It doesn't even go with the headlights

[@nlsnestevez]

2001-2011 camry exterior design looked much better than current ones..

[@tommyshin5979]

I would love to see Brian Cooley do a redesign Avalon review. Was pleasant to watch him do the 2011 Avalon he seemed at home in doing it. It would be nice to see Brian finish up the Toyota Line up in doing a review. He has a refined perspective on the cars and paying homage to Toyota's Flagship Sedan seems fitting.

[@tommyshin5979]

Sorry for putting you on the spot there Brian but I started watching your CNET cars because of the Toyota reviews were so honest and on point. I took most of my critiques in getting a 2010 Camry V6 XLE, Camry Hybrid 2012 XLE from CNET's reviews. But Alas ended up on the Avalon Hybrid 2014 Limited since it had a better solid feel to its driving stance and amazing balance of decent cozy interior design and classy and elegant exterior. Once I saw the 2015 Camry I keep thinking Predator mouth or Cylon mouth when gazing at the front fascia. Prefer the Maserati Ghibli 2015 cone snub nose the Avalon took on.

[@ahmedp800]

Wireless charging, now that is awesome!

[@TheSpritz0]

WAY better than the 2014, that's for sure!!!

[@milanofootball294]

I would still get a 2015 Kia Optima over the 2015 Camry any day of the week. I just can't stand the generic and lifeless ride the Camry offers.

[@papayafruitch]

MilanoPhotographie I would take the VW Passat and Kia Optima over Camry too.

[@NoToMailOrderBrides]

MilanoPhotographie I agree with you.

[@NukedJapaneseToyota]

MilanoPhotographie Japanese cars contain Fukushima radiation!

[@Kokunihon]

NukedJapaneseToyota please keep stop speaking

[@artilheiro5151]

MilanoPhotographie Yeah I'm buying a 2015 Kia Optima in July. I prefer a more dominant, masculine looking car. The 2015 Camry looks like it was designed for grandmas.

[@R777-RLM]

I've had 3 Toyota's and they were all reliable vehicles, but the options raise the price to quickly. I like Camry's, but they still have macpherson strut rear suspension, the only car in it's class that retains them. Toyota need to step up to a true multi-link, like they did on the Highlander. Also, I prefer cloth seats, but whatever happened to nice soft, classy looking velour seats and doors. My 1989 $9,300 Mercury Tracer (rebadged Mazda 323) compact car, was more expensive looking inside, than just about anything I see, even expensive cars and trucks with cloth seats. The bucket seats were wider than on both of my new cars, because the middle console wasn't overly wide, like they all seem to be built today.

[@tobyduvall74]

I like wen u do it reviews u don't seem bias n I look for u wen something interest me

[@TimYoung817]

I think the Camry gets a lot of respect.

[@OneRaceKorea12]

Toyota Camrys are cheap, ugly as sin, generic cars.

[@GuoMao86cn]

StealthTechz I don't understand people who buy new Toyotas when there are millions of 2nd hand Toyotas that are just as reliable.

[@Kokunihon]

StealthTechz I agree but you Americans keep buying them ;) For Japanese people, we all dream to buy luxury car like BMW or Mercedes Benz... but tax is so high here, you can only buy when you are earning ¥300,000 every months!

[@nanotheskateborderengine9081]

I like this Camry

[@Trades46]

I still think the Camry is kind of the boring 'safe' choice in the segment. However, after driving a 2014 SE for a few days during a recent trip to Las Vegas as a rental, I have to say there isn't anything it does poorly. Steering still feels like it is connected to nothing, but the car still pulled on freeway well despite ~100ºF with 4 passenger + luggage & AC maxed.

[@TimYoung817]

Its very safe but its also a solid car. You know when its -5 outside that this thing is going to start and get you there with a lot of nice features along the way. Driving isn't that exciting but for many Americans the Camry is a good choice.

[@kc5077]

Please test the Camry XSE, it's supposed to be the "sporty" one.

[@dvblove]

Thank you for making up my mind

[@WarfareHD1]

If only they would put wider wheels on the car and lower the car a little bit then it would look much nicer. The problem with these Toyota or Honda sedans is that the wheels are always too close inside the wheel well giving the car a cheap look like you added some cheap body kit or something. The wheels should match the outside of the wheel wells like a Mercedes for example.

[@94navin]

the xle is for luxury, LE for comfort. Look at the XSE or SE if you want sporty looks

[@AKSD1985]

AirsoftWarfareHD You're right. They could've put like 245/40/18 size tires on this instead of the 225/45/18. Yes if it was lower by like 1.0-1.5 it would look so much nicer. I got the 2015 Toyota Camry XSE V6. I am loving it. It is fully loaded and has lots of tech for the price. First time got on it today and it was pretty fast.

[@WarfareHD1]

Alexander Kalendarev You gonna put those wider wheels and tires?

[@AKSD1985]

No. I am not. I wish I could though. If it would have come from factory that way, that would be amazing.

[@CZARNYEU]

Great Car

[@Theholyrosary1989]

The Camry just won the Daytona 500! Hello!.... It's huge, huuuge!

[@rdinapoli1971]

Great review.

[@tougeruzbay]

TOYOTA, bring back the. MR2 and Celica

[@evandoucet1449]

is it bad that I want the V6 only for the HID Headlights? lol

[@KingJusticeShaw]

Those are full LED High and Low Beams on the 2015-2017 Toyota Camry XLE/XSE V6's. Only the Lexus vehicles have HID's, unless you want a Toyota Venza 2013-2015 LIMITED V6 AWD or Toyota Avalon, which comes with HID's.

[@nathanielcashjr.732]

You don't like a hard drive?

[@ArcanaLrd]

cnet plz, step up the game. that means the same mic throughout the vid, and get rid of that cctv cam level quality form time to time

[@jaychokshi]

32k for camry you crazy bruh, I'll be happy with 20k LE

[@cilvrado]

That ain't CNET style tho and this is CNET.

[@Fussinated]

Of course, you pay 32K for a European junk and you feel good about it. Because eating European shit nourishes you and people like you, while quality American and Japanese cars cause you allergies if you pay for them.

[@Robbieifyoucan]

Fussinated Lol you have no idea what you are talking about.

[@Fussinated]

Robert C "Lol you have no idea what you are talking about" LOL! as if you do.

[@Robbieifyoucan]

Fussinated I am informed, you aren't. Thats the difference between us. You call European cars junk simply because they are expensive.

[@Leuel48Fan]

Qi Wireless Charger = smart move But suggestion just start supporting Android Auto (or Apple CarPlay), as the mobile interfaces are better than any car manufacturer really offers today.

[@LVang152]

Hope for Apple car play soon

[@MrJDMReviewers]

Everyone knocks on the Camry but this V6 will easily outrun a new Miata and BRZ/FRS

[@tremellharris5312]

Nice car

[@khunopie9159]

I just happen to like numb doughballs Good review, Brian

[@bshaw1003]

32k? Maan they are ripping us in Australia.. all camry over 42k..

[@MrHecticbro]

Not really. The conversion to AUD would be about equal (off the top of my head). And then we pay the 'Australia Tax'.....

[@DieselDan09]

Brian you are one of the best on here reviewing cars but for love of baby Jesus (clarkson) upgrade your damn cameras the Quality is terrible

[@Gr1dlock0]

Whats up with all this annoying ass music in the back. Not necessary.

[@justrandomthings319]

I'd take a Hyundai Sonata Limited over this. Much more luxurious inside and a sportier drive.

[@Narrowcros]

For some reason I find the new Carolla to be more attractive than this Camry, even on the inside

[@octane520]

Sorry not buying a 30k Taxi

[@roguedogx]

yeah, I would still rather "take an accord" all day long, but that's just me.

[@fcknjames]

Isn't XSE the top trim?

[@Neno8403]

***** The XSE is priced as expensive as the XLE, and according to what I've heard from the Toyota camp, they consider the XSE V6 to be the top of the line Camry model. It's the LE, SE, XLE, then XSE. The latter two are the more luxurious versions of the LE and SE.

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

2015 and toyota still cant have the gear selector come down in a straight way, has the curve and go left and right/ lots of work to just get to drive

[@94navin]

you really have problems if your complaining about that. Im here wishing it came manual

[@bokkey45]

whiteandnerdytuba it isn't that difficult at all. I've driven cars with this type of gear selector and it's just fine. What a petty thing to complain about lol.

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

tim allen its a camry. not a muscle car

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

bokkey45 the little things make or break you

[@NisarAhmed-bo1el]

nice

[@Lil-Tee1988]

How much extra for the led headlights or are they standard?

[@ssflipallday]

Good question, probably not standard though.

[@94navin]

Go build on at toyota.com. They are standard on XSE and XLE and come with LED fogs as well, optional on SE. IM not sure about the LE

[@Neno8403]

tim allen No 2015-2016 Camry has fog lights. They are either a combo turn signal/LED daytime running lamps (XSE V6 & XLE V6) or they are full amber turn signals. Fog lights have been discontinued on this model.

[@94navin]

Khemistry NO its actually a two piece design. Either all amber or the top will be amber and lower will be a fog light

[@EAS573182]

tim allen actually, the XSE and XLE don't come with standard LED lights. The daytime running lights come standard with these trims. However, you have to choose an option to get LED instead of halogen projectors for your main lights.

[@limaviagens]

máquina

[@TheAdventureAuto]

Get a Mazda6 instead. Toyota styling has been so blah lately even with this re-design.

[@mswaheds]

buy a used e90 with a warranty instead

[@tarassu]

Average piece of junk. Does it have at least 10-way seats? Automatic levelling xenons? Rearview cam? Startstop feature? 31mpg? A joke? Why should anyone even want a new engine if 2003 year engine gives the same redult.

[@eduardoig17]

for that price i would get a hyundai genesis coupe

[@zakmicallef643]

Why is every Car UI Ugly and slow. A $500 increase for an i5 won't really make it a deal Breaker

[@tungol00]

Wow it's as fast as a speed3,fiesta st and focus st wth?

[@kma198199]

Under 6 seconds is pretty freakin fast!

[@tungol00]

It is my speed3 is 5.6 which a performance vehicle

[@Eatmykellogs]

Wasn't expecting those kind of numbers at all.

[@roguedogx]

and, according to car and driver, that's almost two seconds faster than the ford fusion with the big ecoboost engine. but still .2 of a second behind the accord.

[@Casualdriver]

Well... motor trend says the 2013 speed3 does the 0-60 in 5.8 and they presume that the Camry will do it in the same time... so this is as fast as your speed3. Very fast for a automatic car of this size.

[@dvblove]

WOW

[@SuperImmunologist]

0:00-0:04

[@cuddles6938]

And yet the Subaru Legacy was chosen as the best 2015 family sedan on Motorweek not the Camry. The last gen model was sexier, this model is BLAH!

[@94navin]

and yet the camry will outsell the entire subaru brand. They sell an average of 400,00 camry each year, about 3 billion cars a year.

[@cuddles6938]

I like style not how many cars were sold. Porsche only sold 200,000 vehicles and yet their employees are getting a $10k bonus. SO what your point is, nothing.

[@94navin]

TekReview's My point is subaru can be car of the century but more people will choose a toyota. There a reason beside reliability

[@PREMADVANI]

The toyota brand is old and boring! Toyota needs to up the style on there cars or most people will just go to Honda

[@94navin]

honda sells 1.5 billion cars a year. Toyota sells 3. They have no worries.

[@Neno8403]

This is the type of comment you get from a clueless dumbass. The #1 selling auto manufacturer worried about a very very VERY distant Honda lol. I wish people would spend more time educating themselves as they do trolling out of butt hurt!

[@guyproulx1660]

tim allen million not billion lol

[@matthewkushner8417]

Why would Toyota give their Camry the Lexus type grill? The Lexus brand buy many auto critics and by customers as well have been noted as some of the ugliest cars on the market today. This to me is no better. If a design is not working for one brand, it sure won't work for another.

[@94navin]

Really. Says who? I really like how lexus looks. I love the new grill they have

[@matthewkushner8417]

Every auto critic pretty much. Watch subaruwrxfan opinion of them lol

[@armandkyletupino3039]

toyota haters backoff

[@macoypizzuti5120]

At the end of the day it's still a Camry.

[@anushilpatel1]

Macoy Pizzuti at the end of the day food relieves hunger, that doesnt mean you dont appreciate good food

[@Solstice8088]

Holy Crap! 5.7 Seconds to reach 0-60? That's amazing actually! I know sports cars with slower acceleration times then that.

[@ShaunMMX]

+AXP Bonecrusher I gotta say the new style is quite a handsome looking car, if I was in a market for a new mid-size car this one is probably one of my top choices with a few others in mind.
