*TESTED* This "basic" 2025 Toyota Camry LE just BLEW me away...A Budget Lexus ES?!

[@Boss_Fight_Index_muki]

The thing nobody ever mentions about 16" rims is you'll get better mpg, lower NVH, less tire wear, and better ride comfort. Large rims creates more problems than it solves. This is coming from someone who used to hop up Civics back in the day. Oh yeah, you also get worse acceleration. Take a guess why.

[@realtalk5931]

Absolutely

[@jeretso]

Bigger rims and tires are more expensive so people wait a little longer to replace them which is probably not safe.

acceleration is better with smaller wheels, I know you meant to say that but the way you worded it might confuse some

Camrys are just better all-around cars but I do agree the back of the Accord looks better

[@Sunshone7311]

Having had my Accord Sport Hybrid for about a year I can see where the Camry is trying to one up it. Heated steering wheel, standard rear vents with chargers, standard turn signals in the mirrors, standard wireless charger, optional AWD. Most of these are where the Accord cost cut and some of them are frustrating. I didn’t hear any of these reviews confirm whether Toyota finally got away from that crappy plastic they use on the on arm rest of the door. I’m really happy with my Accord because it performs where it counts. HP wise, that number means nothing until we see the 0-60 numbers. Honda sided with acceleration with their hybrid and in my experience that’s not something Toyota does. I commute 130 miles a day and unless Toyota fixed their seats for tall people I could never own one. I think the LE is going to be a unicorn in its most base form. I 100% believe that base no option model was only created to show a low starting MSRP. I do hope that Honda kills their 1.5 turbo blown head gasket disaster and also switches to Hybrid only.

Having the spare wheel standard is a rare feature in modern vehicles as well as alloy wheels in the base model instead of crappy hub cups and finally, turn signal indicators in the mirrors as well as optional sunroof in the base model.

They’ve had success with the Prius with hybrid systems but I question longevity in the Camry and bigger vehicles.

[@rogergeyer9851]

If you got an inefficient engine, then the mileage wouldn't be worthy of a Toyota HEV. Trade-offs. If 230ish HP isn't enough for you with a base hybrid sedan, then you want a different kind of car, and you'll burn twice or more gasoline.

Honestly, I think that it is the car to buy unless want to spend and additional $4,000 to get the XLE trim (you know who you are!) At this time not many LE Camrys are showing up at my local dealership. I guess that the SE trim is still the big seller. Cars have gotten so expensive these days and the prices I do not think will be coming down. I ended up getting the car for close to $ 37,000 after taxes and the 8 year extended warranty.

Put this engine and drivetrain into the Lexus IS and I'd buy another one on the spot. The only reason I didn't get another one because the gas mileage is awful (worse than my C8).

Other markets get a hybrid IS300h rwd. Even an IS that takes regular gas would be nice…

[@anthonykiedis1765]

@@NateNoorulBN agreed. The combo of premium gas and 13-16 mpg city is just atrocious. Especially for a car with 300hp. Other than the mpg, the IS is a nearly perfect daily.

I love this! My only complaint is that it’s 2024 and we still get incandescent bulbs on lower or base models.

[@royalmale2412]

So when are they going bring the ES 350 equivalent. This what I hope the es will look like . Not the monstrous grille they have on the current model

Toyotas new Camry, Corolla and Prius models are the best looking most reliable cars you can buy. They are at the top of these lists and you can see why.

Just so everyone knows, if I am correct, this the Camry LE with Convenience Package.

Kirk. Thanks for the review. Your review is so good and honest, it feels like I'm in the passenger seat next to you. Great job.😊

Good looking car.

I love the blue color, and the restrained design is nice.
