2025 Toyota Camry LE: TEST DRIVE+FULL REVIEW

[@Cap683]

I bought the LE with a convenience package about a week ago. I love the car. It has the same hybrid engine that all the other trims. The ride is quiet, secure, and the power is more than adequate. The ride with 16 inch tires is smooth but not floaty or vague. Unless you feel compelled to spend thousands more, the LE has the ride and features that you could want. It does not feel like an entry trim.

[@danielito3766]

I want to buy . How much is your OUT THE DOOR? DID THEY HONOR THE $29400?

[@PAIKUN.]

How’s the seat comfort? Last gen’s were horrible

[@ShepherdsSheepdog]

@danielito3766 in my case, yes, plus special color, and all weather mats.

[@ShepherdsSheepdog]

@@PAIKUN. Seats are one of many things improved this time around.

[@markr831]

@@danielito3766I just bought one. You will have to pay transportation fee ( every buyer pays that), tax and a dealer document fee. That’s it; or at least it was for me. I believe the transport fee is listed on the window sticker.

[@bryanmills2295]

This is got to be the best value "base" Camry ever built. Looks great in silver, too!

[@Cap683]

Agreed. With the option package, it has all that I could want.

[@TakeCareMan]

Thanks for addressing the difference in ride and road noise between the LE and other models. Very helpful in making a decision on which to get!

[@webcomment8895]

The advantage of the 16 inch wheels that is more noticeable than the ride quality difference, is that it gives you a few more MPGs. Rim thieves are also less likely to steal them because they are not flashy enough to draw attention. You are most likely to find your XSE or SE on blocks missing tires and wheels if you park outside on the street or in some apartment complex parking lot.

[@webcomment8895]

You don’t need t upgrade to an SE or XLE just to get a leather wrapped steering wheel. The Cold Weather package includes a leather wrapped, heated steering wheel. You can also buy Wheel Skins real leather steering wheel covers that are custom sized to fit and you can pay an upholstery shop to stitch it on for you if you can’t do it yourself neatly enough.

[@corydonrose6109]

Wheel Skins will not have a '25 year anytime soon, and good luck finding an upholstery shop.

[@webcomment8895]

@@corydonrose6109 Does the 25 Camry have a completely unique steering wheel that isn’t used in any 2024 Toyotas? Probably not. Upholstery shops are not that hard to find.

[@KeithSkiles-u2h]

According to we never win over Camry. Just bought my fifth Camry LE. A 2025 we love it. It has remote start and they say that LE doesn’t have the pocket on the driver side because this one does. Love this car.

[@riseabove3082]

but your remote start is a paid subscription that's free only for the first year. let's be honest now.

[@jxmar_]

Smart key should be standard.. hybrid Camrys always had smart key ever since they came out in 2007. 13:37 you can even get the leather wrapped wheel on the LE

[@jameswillett7186]

A power drivers seat should be standard was well. It was standard equipment on the Camry LE at least since 2012 until 2024.

[@rodolfocuenca5752]

I hate to admit it but I actually like the LE wheels 😭

[@HumbleBearcat]

They only look good and match to this silver color car.

[@ShepherdsSheepdog]

More MPG, less NVH! Looks great on Supersonic Red, also.

[@dand86F]

16" is the best economical way to just change tire at costco ! :)

[@wny9521]

Better for snow tires too and the max fuel eco by far.

[@notmyfaultthisishappening3795]

Less likely to get curb rash too and handles potholes a lot better!

[@hitMonle1]

just wanna say ty so muich for reviewing the LE model. not just for this but for other base models. the base models of cars dont get reviewed enough

[@rogerh2694]

Yea they wanna sell you extras on the higher trims is the point

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Great job & I think of buy this as my first car.

[@Duncan-Mac-Raven]

I wish those wheels and tires were available on the upper trims... They could get the same awesome MPG as the LE. lol one the LE side, I wish it had the same optional sun roof as the higher trims as an extra. My fear is that they will not make enough LE's to go around.

[@sudeshsatnarain4055]

Thank you, great review

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Amazing review Will.

[@dand86F]

Keep the base LE is $30k for daily use. No need to spend further. "this base LE feel quicker than SE and XLE" ! 😀😀😀

[@jeffreyerickson6766]

Will does great reviews and he seems kind.

[@Mark-sc9iu]

So, since all Camry's are hybrid, did they ditch the blue background Toyota badge on this model? Previous models all had blue badges to indicate a hybrid.

[@cobyjones5535]

Yes they did

[@tails300]

Yes, they do that in Japan too. Hybrid only models no longer use the blue highlighted emblem.

[@lana-f8m8y]

Hey i just want to clarify for your viewers that the front turn signals are NOT LED as you state on the LE and SE models. Not only that but they do NOT include the C - shaped DRL that the XLE and XSE have which is also LED and used for the turn signal as well. Also, the brake/stop lights are LED across all trims.

[@lana-f8m8y]

Also in regards to the steering wheel, yes it is plastic on the LE but if you equip the LE trim with the cold weather package, it will include a heated leather wrapped steering wheel as well as heated front seats.

[@l.shultz9268]

You showed us the trunk on this Camry LE, what does it have for a spare tire? and is there space for a full size replacement tire/wheel?

[@Mark-sc9iu]

2025 base LE is actually $500 cheaper then the 2024 base LE.

[@jxmar_]

Yea and that comes w the removal of smart key and a powered drivers seat. Not to mention for 2018 models only, hybrid models came w heated seats as standard. Even the LE had them

[@JoshuaGalka]

Great!

[@83goobmoonlight]

Somehow, the back bumper of LE XV80 Camry is black. It will have this black painted bumper on Camry Cross SUV?

[@wny9521]

HEY 19 inch wheel buyers you lose a ton of MPG's for the expensive vanity rims. You can get a leather wrapped wheel with the heated seat package on an LE.

[@rogerh2694]

I mean, that's expected but it's funny how you also lose speed being that they're all the same engine. Ironic.

[@alanzemsky7695]

Great review! I had heard you can order moonroof on LE models. Can you confirm?

[@thenewcapital8084]

Yup,You can order moon roof on LE version

[@rainmaker3948]

what color is this?

[@lizbethmata9146]

Is this in the Celestial Silver Metallic shade?

[@winnersvideos-uk1ez]

yes

[@danielbrowniel]

I just traded in my 2012 Camry i4 for a 2025 Camry AWD SE. I went from 29mpg avg to 50mpg avg and even better the HP increase is 59HP. It's pretty satisfying to both have significantly discounted fuel costs, saving thousands. After all the savings are factored in this car there beats inflation in the last 10+ years. Dear Toyota.. I feel like I dumped my old coolant drinking 2012 Camry SE 4 bangs 6 gears... It had seemingly high unrewarding RPMs but.. that trashy old drama queen is gone and now I have a space ship designed seemingly to allow any furry creature drive safely on the road with all that radar nerdy computer driving wizardry.

[@stevescott9474]

Pretty sure the base LE and SE have incandescent front/rear turn signals, not LED?

[@ShepherdsSheepdog]

Correct

[@mohamedyossef8146]

Ur # means that HP is 300 something 😊

[@dakkon74]

I like the LE. The only issue I have is the 8" screen looks out of place, with too much black space around the borders. Wish they offered the 12" as an option.

[@Richard-xv7yf]

The 12” screen is an option on the se trim.

Less wheel = more tire rubber. When the trunk lid already has a built-in spoiler, the add on spoiler is just stupid. T has its faults but in 2025, it is pretty good value. You will appreciate most of features on those cold, wet winter nights in stop and go traffic on your way to your second job with your steamy take out dinner on the front passenger seat.

[@rogerh2694]

[@Shakespearelover1717]

I wish these manufacturers would make a more attractive interior with leather and lay off all the technology for the mid models. Most buyers in my age bracket couldn’t care less about all these touchscreens, navigation, and other automated controls. I would 1,000 x rather have leather seats, power seat adjustment, and the comforts of the past luxury cars-minus all the electronics!! Why not have an older person’s model??? Forcing older buyers to pay more for what they’ve been used to is unjust.

[@1997nick]

Mostly because there's no money in that. Who would buy a car for more than $30k and expect what they offered 15+ years ago? You don't think they do the research when developing vehicles like this? That "old person" demographic is more in touch with modern features as they ever have been. If anything in this base model Camry is that frustrating to use, maybe you shouldn't be driving?

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

Ok boomer. Old people buy SUV.

Why are all the car reviewers spending so much time reviewing the base model 2025 LE? This never happened in years past. So Toyota must be offering them a bonus check for doing so.
