Is The New 2025 AWD Toyota Camry Better OR Worse Than The Old One On The TFL Slip Test?

[@yissibiiyte]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Toyota's hybrid "AWD" system is borderline false advertising. If it can't provide enough torque to the rear to get the car moving, how is it AWD?

[@User.Joshua]

This test simply isn’t indicative of real world use. My wife took a Prius AWD to a local farm event and most of the trucks and SUVs got stuck in the mud, but her little Prius was one of the only vehicles to make it out of there without requiring a push. She’s also never gotten it stuck in the snow or ice here in New England, while her co-workers are always calling into work for not being able to make it. Sure, this is an anecdote of one, but she’s had the vehicle for years and we’ve never been stuck anywhere. The AWD works well for most practical trips that people need them for; I’d imagine it would suck in the deep woods though, but that’s not what most buyers are doing with these things.

[@toyota420xp]

Just like when you have the Subaru Crosstrek on those rollers and he said it was a terrible all wheel drive system

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

There are no good awd systems performing bad on rollers. The better the system is in real conditions, the better it is on rollers to. But these tests show just a part of systems operation, they can't be an oracle.

[@yissibiiyte]

@@toyota420xp He said the Crosstrek performed amazingly on the rollers.

[@yissibiiyte]

@@User.Joshua I am assuming all those trucks were very old, and probably had wide open diffs. The Prius at least has torque distribution on the front axle, meaning it could be better in certain instances.

Hey Tommy, I wanted to thank you and your team for performing these tests. It is too bad the newer car's AWD system didn't do as well as the older car. The AWD tests done by TFL on the 2020 Camry checked a big box for me in my purchase of a 2020 Camry AWD. 4 years and nearly 40k miles later, my AWD Camry car has seen some "Oh s***" moments in Minnesota. If my car could talk in these moments, it would have said, "Hold my synthetic oil," as the AWD system kept my butt safe (and clean) by keeping me from having accidents, 😅, in difficult situations. Keep doing what you and your team are doing, and let Toyota work through making their systems better. Good job with the review.

[@TFLcar]

Thanks for the great feedback!

[@ballathug8404]

Get snow tires Johnny

[@ericschlichting7664]

@ballathug8404 True, I have considered it. I have driven snow tires on other cars in the snow before, and they work out well. It is a storage, maintenance, and cost issue for me when it comes to snow tires. Also, how much snow are we going to get versus how fast and well it gets cleared. My area is actually pretty good at turning the main roads around. If I pick up a 2025 Camry AWD, I guess snow tires can offset some of the issues Tommy found in his testing. Peace ✌️

I drove an 03’ Civic through seven MN winters on all-season tires and the only time I got stuck in the snow was in my unplowed driveway. FWD is plenty with snow tires for urban life. If it gets real bad 10”-12” of snow in 24hrs stay home and the roads are plowed curb to curb by the time you finish your cup of coffee ☕️ the next day.

[@ricatiman]

Unless you drive an Uber up here in Beautiful British Columbia all winter, in the mountains, 3 Peak Hydrophilic snow tyres are all anyone needs on a 2 wheel drive car. I have been driving Canadian winters since 1968, and have driven through all kinds of winter storms in cars from Minis and MGB's to Saabs and Jettas, and always on the best winter tyres of that year. Sure I have an Outlander now, but 2wd was never an issue...and I still buy the best tyres.

[@exparrot9074]

This eAWD system seems like one that will keep your momentum up by delivering some torque to the rear wheels to minimize the risk of getting stuck in the first place, however, once stuck, there are better systems out there that can provide more torque to the rear wheels. Will be interesting to see if Toyota makes a Camry Prime with a more powerful rear motor and if that makes a difference in ability to shift power between rear wheels.

[@joshc606]

I miss cars….all we see are SUVs.

[@josephcullen2512]

I think with these the issue is the capability of the inverter that turns DC current from the battery into AC current for the front and rear electric motors. On the very first all wheel drive Toyota hybrids like I have one of, they maxed out the capability of the inverter and that resulted in some inverters burning out when off roading because the current sent to the rear wheels was just too much for the electronics in the inverter. So I think Toyota are being cautious. To make the inverter able to handle more current would cost more and add more mass etc... And then the battery might run flat quite quickly anyway too... And large current draw isn't great for the battery either... So a PHEV with a larger capacity battery and beefier electronics might do better but the basic physics of a standard hybrid system just do not have huge power and torque capabilities. I think Toyota ought to move to PHEVs as all wheel drive options especially

[@joshc606]

Let’s face it, the MOST this car will get driven in bad weather it 1-4in of snow. The AWD is there for alittle security in bad weather. I believe it’s up to par for that. Sure it won’t last the 3 wheel slip test, but it’s not an off roader. But will it do better than a non-AWD car, yes 😊

[@Cloud30000]

It won’t do better in both 3 wheel slip tests then 2WD, as many 2WD vehicles have a limited slip diff or great brake limited slip on the powered axle.

This new AWD Camry would save you significantly more fuel than your '22 AWD Camry saved you, and its e-CVT will certainly outlast the conventional automatic 8-speed in your non-hybrid '22.

The potential for low speed traction distribution is greater with an electric motor. The rear motor has 89 ft lBS, if it’s anything like a RAV, is available immediately without waiting for the engine to spin up to much higher RPM. Very high torque and HP is your enemy. It’s a programming problem not a motor problem

[@FirstHandLLC]

I live in a Boston suburb and found the awd system both in my Crown and my mom’s RAV4 hybrid absolutely superb!

[@Trueno1600]

@Tommy Mica Would you consider doing the TFL Slip Test on older vehicles? What I had in mind for starters was Jeeps, since they have pretty much all 4x4 and AWD systems imaginable: Command Trac, Selec Trac, Quadra Drive, Quadra Drive II, Quadra Trac, etc. Extremely confusing and I had to do a lot of reasearch to make sense of all of them. Second suggestion would be older Subarus, especially those with a real automatic transmission versus manual version, as I've heard they used different AWD systems between manuals and autos...

People shit on the Accord for not offering AWD, but the Camry’s is borderline useless. Sure, you get the badge, but it clearly isn’t that much better. It’s very much offered to help sales. If you want a true AWD sedan, get a Legacy- especially soon since 2025 is last model year. If you live in a cold climate and really want better performance, save the money on spending more on the system and maintenance and get snow tires. If you can’t, then driver slower. FWD does just fine in the snow on streets.

[@FacuGonz3]

Yeah, for people that actually need AWD I think this new Camry it's not an option.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

This test isn’t real world. You need AWD or RWD if you want to go anywhere in the winter. In a rear drive vehicle you can add weight in the rear to get around in the winter. With front drive all the weight shifts to the rear when accelerating uphill. This is why race cars don’t use front drive. You can back up in an emergency. Most snow plow trucks are rear drive.

​@user-tb7rn1il3q I have never had a problem with handling in my "heavy" V6 however I do know it's not a track car, but a cruiser so no one expects it to be a Supra or anything like that.

I agree with some commenters as its false advertising on Toyotas e-AWD systems.
