For some reason, the bottom front grill styling on the SE blends in better with the front of the car compared to the XSE trim. The SE to me is more attractive.
Still using light bulbs in 2025 is insane. The SE shown here has a bunch of options like the convenience package, cold weather package, multimedia upgrade, and power tilt sunroof (all of which come standard with the XSE), bringing the MSRP about $300 more expensive than the base XSE. So, unless you like the look of the black grille, the XSE is a much better value.
Not really insane it’s smart easy to change some cars you need to replace the whole dang light unit some cost upwards of 1200 bucks when the led goes no thanks simple to change over to led bulbs
@@joshuawang5859it’s actually a blessing though, because when the incandescent turn signal burns out you just have to replace the bulb instead of whole housing and they aren’t cheap.
I’ve seen two 2025 models on the road so far, both SE’s. I will say it doesn’t look like a new car. It blends right in with the 2024 model. I guess this red color could help it stand out more, however if you’re coming from the previous Camry, a lot of people might not notice that you bought a new car.
For whatever reason that 0-60 sounds semi close to a Crown Vic 0-60, at least in this video lol. I love my vic but 17 years in the rust belt she's getting due. A Camry is likely next on my list :) .
I’m not a fan either. Greater chance of a blowout going over potholes. Saw a video of a guy with his 2025 XSE with the 19inch wheels that already had a blowout after hitting a pothole on the highway.
I don’t see any difference between the new 9th gen, 2025 and the 2024 model, other than the fact that you can get AWD. Ow. The SE is definitely the middle ground model. It is not as nice as the XLE or XSE but it is nicer than the base LE. At least the SE won’t break the bank. With some upgrades in my build I have it at 36,000 but since I see no difference, might as well safe a bit I found some 2024’s for 30,000
Just had my ‘23 Camry in the shop for scheduled maintenance. Was talking to the tech advisor and said I really like the new ‘25s. He said nice refresh but to wait a year or two to buy one. He said the handful of new ones theyve sold have been coming in left and right riddled with issues. Nothing major.
I test drove the se it is very quiet great acceleration but the driver seat lumbar support was horrible. I mean a deal breaker. It felt like hard plastic pushing into my back. Hopefully the le or xle is better.
Why do so many new cars only offer black trim around windows and other places? and who ever said black wheels are ever attractive? The black trim and wheels make the cars look SO cheap, and so entry-level looking! Subaru did it with the Legacy and is now killing off what is otherwise a great car...hope the same fate doesn't follow for the Camry!
2025 is using 5th gen hybrid system, u now get optional hybrid AWD, stronger electric motors, slightly lighter, better throttle response, and lower NVH.
I haven't driven the prior gen. But I can tell you most of us regular guys will enjoy the quick response. They estimate the total torque to be around 300 for the FWD models. 163 & 150ish from the electric motors. The passing power is more than aquatic.
I wish they would do something with those sun visors, they still have those cheap, slide out cards that do nothing. Not too thrilled with the fabric interior trim, especially the seats, it's in the wrong place, and those light bulbs. SMH. Car still sounds noisy.
Gas mileage according to your specs is around 46 MPG for this SE AWD, but early on in the video the car's dash display showed an MPG of 33.5!! Buyer beware, I say....
@@CarConfections There are only 1154 miles on the car, so some variability can be expected, but a difference of 12 MPG? Make a note of this please, for when you get a production car to review closer to the date of release...
You should show the rear door panels, they are all plastic, they do not match the front door panels when it comes to materials, Toyota dropped the ball there!
It uses the low beams in low power mode for the DRL like previous generation, but on the new SE there is optional DRL on for $399 which should of been standard imo
@@dragonquakeactually since 1997 in the Gen 1 Prius, so that’s 27 years. To answer your question OP hybrid eCVTs need their fluid changed every 100k miles. It’s basically a differential and all that’s required is a drain and fill procedure.
The funny part is white that Hybrid engine guess what forget about DIY forget about the average shop to fix it when it’s out of warranty it’s going to have to go to Toyota to get fixed and u will be robbed blind!!!
But that will take 15-20 years and 200-300.000 miles. In most cases. If history repeats itself. The 2007-2009 first Camry hybrids are still rolling along and can fetch up to $11.000 for a nice one. I think most people would take that.
The key-fob, yes, let's talk about that. Did you know that you no longer will receive TWO key-fobs when you buy a new TOYOTA. They have cheaped out! So, if you and your partner share the same car, you will need to beg for the key-fob each time you want to use the car. If you lose your key-fob, you are out of luck. Take it to the junk yard!!!!

I agree except for the affordable part. I want the SE and here in my place, it’s 35k which is the same price as my 2021 rav4 xle hybrid which i bought brand new 3 years ago lol.
@@nickgreve6499 yup. I’m looking at 2025 camry se which is 35k in my area. I’m giving my 21 rav4 to my wife. But the thing is a brand new 2024 rav4 xle hybrid is 36k in my area which makes the 35k se camry seems not worth it.
My first choice would be the two-tone xse with red seats, but is it worth over 40k? Hard to justify, I think the LE or SE is the way to go with this type of car. You can still get sporty vibes without breaking the bank.
I'm a less is more proponent and feel the LE is more to my liking. I like everything about it, that said, I stumbled across(literally) a major issue. When getting into the vehicle, I smacked my ankle against the rocker. The distance from outside edge of door opening at rocker to inside edge is huge, not allowing ease of entrance. It's preventable as the rocker moulding is hollow, and takes up at least 2", just for aesthetics. If you have a compromised back, it's a long stretch to seat from the outside moulding edge, creating a uncomfortable access.
It’s really not difficult to equip all of the trims levels with LED light all around, and a gauge cluster that’s fully digital. Hyundai has technology that Toyota don’t even offer. Same with the KIA K5.
Consumer Reports once said that the SE rides worse than the LE and doesn't handle any better and that there was no reason to buy it over the LE. Maybe with this redesign it's changed.
Could y'all plz do a comparison between the Nissan Rogue Black Edition and the Hyundai Tucson Limited in the next video and after another comparison video between the the Kia Sportage Sx and the Nissan Rogue Black Edition plz, would love to see how the twin Korean SUVs face off against the Fully Loaded Nissan Rogue, viewers plz like if y'all agree
The huge center console actually makes me think, what a waste. Because I miss the days of seating for three...in the FRONT. I don't think the Camry ever had it, but the Avalon had it at one point. And it's obvious the new Camry has ample space for a middle seat. Apparently, airbag considerations have made mid-front row seats a thing of the past.

Even the lowest trim in other countries is equipped with full LED, sad for US car buyers
So what's the cost of changing out a bad bulb vs the entire LED housing? 5 vs 500 bucks...hhhmm
Light bulbs are better for snowy areas because it clears the headlights in a winter storm.
LED's can't generate enough heat for that.

The Best review ever.
Not a fan of low profile tires, plus you get slightly worse gas mileage over the LE with 16 inch wheels
I’m not a fan either. Greater chance of a blowout going over potholes. Saw a video of a guy with his 2025 XSE with the 19inch wheels that already had a blowout after hitting a pothole on the highway.
The color is right for my driveway!
Excellent review as always!😸
Just reserved the white se with black grill and monroof. But it aint coming out until July. In person SEs looked better than xses for some reason

What issues 😮 I'm 750 miles into one.
Do these newer hybrids require a break in period?
It’s very nice! I like the new Camry, I like the black and white seats, I like the red, I don’t like the CVT 😂, it’s a great price
It's not CVT. Toyota hybrids don't use CVT.
Toyota uses an eCVT in their hybrids
Great view guys and the Camry is good, but the Accord is too great 😊

How come it took a long time for the engine to start
Since it's a hybrid, the engine does not have to turn on each time at startup
