What Happened To Toyota Camry Sales in America?

[@theredline]

Thanks again to Keeps for sponsoring this video. Please be sure to go to www.keeps.com/Redline to get 50% off your first order! What would you like to see Toyota do for the next generation Camry? It is mostly likely due out for the 2023 model year.

Crossover cargo space figures are very very deceiving. The actual usable space is a lot closer together.

So only 1 more bag advantage despite having a trunk that is on paper 250% bigger.

The advantages of a sedan over a similar crossover are usually safety, agility, ride and real-world highway MPG. If all you do is drive a few miles at a time on urban or suburban roads, these advantages are not likely to matter much. If you drive a long distances at higher speeds, they will.

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

Big vehicles are more confidence inspiring. Big vehicles give you a high driving position that allows you to be above most of traffic and make you feel secure. Big vehicle also give the impression that they are safer for family trips because they could get less dramatic impact forces during an accident. Big vehicles also tend to have bigger interior space. Big vehicles are also less stolen than sedans and hatchbacks. Big vehicles have bigger headlights and a higher headlight mount that gives impressive road illumination at night vs smaller cars. Big vehicles are more stable for towing a trailer. Big vehicles absorb potholes less harshly than smaller vehicles. Proper big vehicles like pickup trucks and large SUVs tend to use more heavy duty parts and thus are usually more reliable and more long-lived compared to smaller cars. Bigger cars have a slower and more predictable steering feel vs the more twitchy steering of smaller cars that might put off new drivers. and lastly, yes... offroading. You may not do any offroading per couple of years. But when you do ever find yourself in an offroading situation, having higher clearance will be a huge pluse. The clearance also helps in non offroading situations like flash-floods, driving over kerbs to get around an accident scene, loading the car with heavy luggage that sags the car down, etc

I have a 2020 SE Nightshade and it’s my first Toyota after owning several Honda’s.

I figured for the additional savings I decided to go with a Camry and have no regrets. I enjoy the smooth ride, comfortable seats, standard safety features, apple car play/android auto and the killer gas mileage. I don’t care for blind spot monitoring as I feel it makes me a lazy driver by relying on electronics. I’m averaging 35 mpg combined city/hwy which is great for a midsize sedan, basically on par with the mileage of the smaller Corolla or even a Honda Fit. I can’t speak to reliability yet as I’ve only owned it for 6 months.

The 3rd gen Camry is the car I learned how to drive with. It was my mom's car but my brother drove it to and from work/school in high school since my mom worked nights and that's the car he taught me how to drive with. And I thought the Camry replaced the Cressida this whole time lol (car my mom used to drive before the Camry).

[@danielzhang1916]

no, the Cressida was meant to be a luxury car, like the Avalon

[@brownnzenn]

Regardless of what year it is, not everyone wants to have push button ignitions. A regular key is just fine.

[@Josh-179]

Which means you've never had a car with a smart key. You really can't go back. It's like not having power windows in 2021.

[@alvinsimba734]

@@Josh-179 one thing you need to understand from someone who has tried both key and push start button is that with the key there is a certain feeling to it which is difficult to explain which makes the best part about starting the vehicle whereas push start doesn't feel the same. Another point is that with key its safer from theft whereas with push start the chances of theft is quite high. I have friends who got their cars stolen especially with push start and recently by the time they found the vehicle it was already bound to be shipped overseas for lucrative markets, and this was due to software manipulation of the fob whereas with the key you cannot do that. The key is cheaper to replace unlike fob.

I have a hard time believing a RAV 4 drives just as good as a Camry having driven a RAV 4 between a Mazda 3 and Gen 3 insight. If it does, that says more about the Camry and Toyota's ineptitude than it does about the ability of CUVs to handle as good as sedans.

The Camry actually is faster than the 0-60 time of 9 seconds, which you mention in the video. Most car testers have it timed to accelerate from 0-60 in 7.3-7.8 seconds. I have the 2021 SE model with the smart key features. It handles very well around corners etc. Rav4 are prone to rollover due to the high center of gravity.

Short answer is SUVs. I used to hate SUVs but once I daily drove one, it is so hard to go back to any regular sedan or coupe as a daily driver. The cargo space, softer ride, and sitting higher up is just perfect for daily driving.

I rather get the Camry than the RAV4, i like the front of the Camry it looks agressive

[@naveenthemachine]

Me too. It offers a v6 and imo a nicer looking exterior especially the lighting on XSE and xle. Some of the tech on the Camry is cheaper to get than the rav4. Like the heads up display and power passenger seat

[@kennethclark3985]

Great review! Loved how you covered the evolution through each generation. The 7th generation was when Toyota extended the duration to 6-years from 5. The 2015 refresh made significant exterior design changes, so much so that some thought it was a redesign for the 2015-2017 model years, but it actually wasn’t. I’m surprised to hear that Camry sales have decreased. Especially since I did my part last month and leased a 2021 XSE which I absolutely love!

Well aside from the fact that most people are buying SUV’s now instead of sedans, I think a huge issue with Toyota that people don’t seem to speak on is how basic their vehicles look. It’s the main reason why I’m skeptical to get a Toyota right now because even though I want something reliable, I also want to feel happy when I look at the car, and I want to enjoy driving it, as I’m sure most people do. I think that Toyota got very comfortable with selling basic looking cars because for a long time, it was working for them and they catered to people that didn’t care about being flashy. People just wanted a reliable car without all the bells and whistles and Toyota offered that at the time. But because of that, they’ve gotten lazy over the years when it comes to design. All of the other car manufacturers like Honda, Kia, Hyundai, and Nissan literally blows Toyota out of the water when it comes to design, especially Honda being their biggest threat. I would absolutely choose a Honda over Toyota any day just based on looks alone. And cars in general are more reliable nowadays than they used to be, so people don’t have to necessarily settle for something basic like a Toyota. It seems that Toyota notices this and they have started putting out better designs like the current Rav4 model having a more aggressive look to it.

[@andoletube]

@Kylan Rogers I know that, but I was saying if they got rid of the ignition key on all models, I'd pay extra to get it as an option! I find it stupid that car companies think that no key-ignition is a good thing. Every car I've driven without key ignition has annoyed me. There's no sensible place to put your keys! Sure, some cars have a slot to put in your Keyfob, but if you have a bunch of keys on your keyring, it doesn't work - or it scratches up your dash or rattles about The keys hanging down from the ignition is a great design and it always worked - you knew when you were just powering up your radio, or turning in on the ignition, or actually starting the car. The modern way is less systematic, every car is different, they are full on beeps, chimes and dings telling you that you're using the car wrong. Just keep it simple!

I drove a 1st gen once (used to live next to a garage when I was 20 and would watch them work on vehicles to learn. They trusted me enough to ask me move vehicles two miles to their other yard when needed). The 1st gen Camry really set the bar for Camry design imo. Very easy to drive. Comfortable. Tuned to feel peppy (cammed throttle on the carb so the 1st 1/4" throttle movement was actually more like 1/2). I liked it.

[@QuentinQuatermass]

Thanks for another great video! Yes it's annoying that Toyota and other manufacturers keep using blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert as bait to sell along with other options. When we got our 2019 SE the BSM/RCTA was about $600 and the convenience package was another $600. Sadly it was next to impossible to get BSM/RCTA except bundled with the convenience package and the ~$900 sunroof which I did not want. I tried at three dealerships with no luck so we didn't get any of the three. Which is ok - I'm extra careful using the mirrors and deal with the switchblade ignition key, heck it's a few less things to go wrong. I'm happy with the basic SE trim level, you get a lot for the $1200 upgrade over the LE trim level. And so far after 2.5 years no breakdowns, just normal maintenance - and that's what Toyota is all about! (Well I do need to the fuel pump replaced under the factory recall before it becomes a problem.)
