You'd think ditching the 2GR V6 in favor of a hybrid 4 cylinder would ruin the Camry XSE.. but it's not what you'd expect. This new Camry is absolutely still a performance oriented sedan with a reasonable price!

    “Just make cars more affordable and people will start buying them”. This fact escapes the auto manufacturers brain trust and yet here is our Sarah stating fact…..
  • It’s nice to see Toyota still making sedans. Not everyone wants a crossover-basically a plastic cladded station wagon on tippy toes.
  • I wish Toyota never quit making the Camry wagon. That would be near perfection.
  • @ZZZZ-mkv
    It's wild to think the world is so flooded with boring crossovers that now even a Camry looks and feels sporty.
  • @artysanmobile
    Toyota’s ECVT is a masterwork of engineering, using all gears and no troublesome belt.
  • @TinLeadHammer
    Thank you, Toyota, for not messing with fake gear shifts, just a steady stream of power how it should be.

    Long time camry owner. 2011, 2014, 2017, 2019. They were all great. Never had a single issue and no complaints. This one is fantastic.

    I have a 2018 Camry XSE hybrid and I love it. Comfortable for long trips and very economical. Last summer my wife and I drove from Reno Nevada to Green Bay Wisconsin and back with lots of side trips along the way. Total distance was 6800 miles and we used 145 gallons of gas while driving slightly above the speed limits all the way. Climbed the Rockies with no sweat. Everything worked as it is supposed to and did not use one drop of oil. These are great cars.

    Toyota has the best infotainment center with the needed traditional buttons and knobs. All manufacturers need to follow suite.
  • @billschlafer
    "Turbulence fish ribulators" and "Tuco Salamaca tight." Some fresh word candy to unleash upon the unsuspecting. Thanks Sarah!
  • That interior is impressive, there aren't a lot of manufacturers doing anything besides black/grey/tan these days.
  • @europana7
    Thanks @ToyotaUSA for letting our fav car reviewer have a go at this preproduction 🎉😊
  • @spdcrzy
    Pre-production?! Sarah you're moving up in the world! :D Also, holy shit that is THE fastest voice recognition I have ever seen in my life.

    Nice job Toyota 👍. Awesome job Sarah !!! 👍👍
  • @bsmirnov
    Totally agree with you that cars are made for roads and roads are meant for cars. Also, if you need more cargo space, get a wagon instead of an SUV.
  • I wish the car care nut made a review on this car. Would be great to hear his take on this car. I love his tech and explanation on the cars amd review.
  • @Primus54
    Indeed… A little bit of something IS better than nothing. 😉 That is a gorgeous interior with the rich looking red perforated materials. I hope Toyota continues to buck the trend of eliminating cars in favor of boring crossovers/SUVs. Trends don’t last forever. Thank you for a great review, Sarah. 👍👍👍
  • The Camry has always been a great car, but this 2025 model is exceptional. I've seen them at the dealership, and they are awesome! These are Lexus like.
