I like it.

If I wasn’t so happy with a minivan as the primary family car I’d probably have one of these.

[@sunshades1]

Wow, just wow! You did a perfect review of both the LE and XSE. I watched both of them side by side. Even though the XSE has acoustic noise reduction glass on front windows (both have acoustic w/s), I felt that LE was significantly quieter than the XSE in your video. You had the panaramic sunroof only half open in the XSE to replicate the LE's moonroof and had the mic in the exact same position. Just done it perfectly! So much better than just a car review! I think the LE might be better value than the XSE if people prefer lower NVH.

Always amazes me to how people never use the Auto function for climate control. You set it at the temperature you want and the car does its best to get you the temperature you want as quickly and efficiently as possible and maintains it. Works like a charm even when it’s -40c out as it senses when the coolant is warms up enough and blasts the heat accordingly.

[@djplonghead5403]

I find that if you are trying to warm up the cabin it will blow warm air until it gets to that temperature and then it will start blowing cool air. The problem is with any vehicle that lets you set a specific temperature. The feature that it controls seat and steering wheel heat/vent is cool.

[@Michael_Livingstone]

We have the 3.5 V6 mated to an 8-speed auto in our 2018 Highlander. We love it, don't get me wrong, but we're averaging 14.0L/100km on daycare runs. It's a good thing we don't do a ton of mileage. It definitely sounds nice and angry, but at the end of the day, it's a family car. I'd rather get stellar fuel economy (pollute less, spend less) than have an audibly pleasing engine. It's also deceivingly not-that-fast for 300+hp, but it's also moving 2,000 kg. The Camry is in the 1,650 kg region, so 230hp should be quite nice, and 4.7-5.3 L/100km would be even nicer. With only the (eventual) Mazda6 PHEV in the way, I think a Camry SE AWD will be the firm replacement for my current 2014 Mazda3 2.0 6MT. Maybe in 2027-ish. I want to give Mazda a chance at wow'ing me. And besides, my Mazda3 has basically been a Corolla in reliability all these years, and averaging me 6.5L/100km with a fantastic amount of joy behind the wheel.

I actually like the 12" screen better than my 100K RX450H+.... you can adjust much more on this from the looks of it.

[@wasd2413]

Wondering if there will be a trd-like version for this new gen

[@mikemayers8672]

Camry size is better than Lexus IS with its small rear seats or ES which is too long like a boat because it’s right in between.

[@chezzyperson3339]

ES is barely longer than this

[@andrewgus8763]

@@chezzyperson3339 Current ES350 is 4 inches longer and 2 inches wider than the Camry. It’s a completely different and much better car.

[@joecrash1232]

I predict that the next generation Lexus ES may go back to be related to this new Camry and not based on Avalon anymore.

[@RocEProductions]

Just ordered this exact one. I work in the Toyota plant that builds these. 😊😊

[@iv4ir]

Nice

[@TheRealOGChill]

The new lexus IS has a awd, and rwd option which is quite nice. The new Camry XSE is like the IS300, but with actually good gas milage but without the speed, and the actually functional paddle shifters.

[@SkyhighStarlight]

Wow awesome car for such awesome price.

[@mkyhou1160]

Beautiful taxi, that’s where most of us will see these.

Hey Priuses were the ultimate UBER cars for years, now the Camry is also in the fleet.

[@tradukilor2]

The front grill design looks like a magnified version of the Corolla Cross Hybrid

Waiting for the GR (or TRD) with the HybridMax 320+ hp

Pls do test drive dor XLE

[@realtalk5931]

Ok I want one now

[@jonathanratliff4780]

Kirk if you can and will answer this did you drive the XLe? How does it feel with the 18 inch wheels it may be a bit more compliant suspension? This is what I’m interested in I’d like to have 16 inch wheels on it at 63 years old I’m just interested in quiet and smooth and comfortable lol

[@aidanschneider5400]

I believe he drove the XSE, Johnathan.

[@aidanschneider5400]

With the 19 inch wheels.

[@johnj2179]

Which drive did you enjoy more, 2024 Honda accord hybrid or 2025 Toyota camry hybrid?

[@wayneh1562]

xse is good looking

[@Mario-lj7gm]

How does the CVT feel? Also, do you know if the tachometer settings let you switch between miles per hour and kilometers per hour?

[@lazynow1]

shit....

[@jonkrispeterson6678]

My Grand Highlander lets you switch between MPH and KpH, assuming you can change everything, since it is sold in.canada,

[@naturelover2292]

That glossy black is a dust collector. Keep you a brush on hand.

[@cgatito3528]

glossy black interior trim needs to go in the dustbin of history. Those huge fins on the passenger side dash. Barforama.

[@sutututuuu_]

It would be nice to have a more powerful option but honestly, 225/232 hp is plentyy. As long as it's fun to drive, pedal feel, steering feel n stuff matter way more
