Just bought a '25 Camry Hybrid AWD LE w/ convenience package to pair with my '22 Supra. It is an AMAZING car. I really suggest people look into the LE over the higher trims. You get better mpg because of the smaller wheels and a LOT of value. The base sound system is more than adequate. The cloth seats are quite comfortable for what they are as well. Just an amazing package at 32k. Real world getting 50 mpg or so with a lot of city and uphill driving (bay/coastal california). Oh and the interior space is exceptional. My fiance are both 6'0", and we can sit behind our own driving position without knees touching. Buy this car.
Ahhh this is what I wanted to know. I had a 2021 RAV4 hybrid that I traded in for a 2023 V6 Camry because I thought it was really struggling going uphill through a mountain pass. So you’re saying this doesn’t struggle uphill? How raucous is 6:33 the engine when you have your foot down going up the hill?
@@Mike.Macmyazka they’re great for performance. They lack some long term comfort ability, but they’re not horrendous on longer trips. 9.5/10 when in the corners, 8/10 for your normal daily rides, 6/10 for longer drives
How is wind noise with the LE at highway speeds? I like the XLE and XSE with the laminated front windows (windshields are all laminated), but the price and like you said, the 16” wheels will be cheaper to buy tires for and probably less noisy on their own and much better for pothole roads in the Midwest. If I were to do it, it’d be paired to my 2006 big turbo/heavily modified GTI and my ND1 Miata. Wife has a ‘21 Highlander XLE V6.
Been a long time subscriber...sadly I haven't been watching your vids for some time, but today I did and I'm so glad I did!!! Your daughter was a toddler when i last watched your video and today, seeing her have such insightful inputs in your review was amazing to watch. A wholesome, lovely family of car reviewers!! Keep up the great work, Micah... Wishing you the best
You are such a special family and terrific people. So proud to watch you all. I bought a new 2025 LE Camry after watching the Canadian Couple review. I get well over 55 Mpg driving in city and suburban thruway driving. Its a great car. I paid 1800 under MSRP.
Great color...its teal-ish ☺ Go Jaguars! Like everyone else...I have owned a Camry. It holds the top spot for most miles I have put on a car. 522K miles when I sold it. A lot of trips from Florida to Baltimore and even a trip around the US....I 95 and I 10 go on ...forever 🤨 Thanks for the review Camry has a special place in my heart...I hope the new ones are as reliable.
The XLE and XSE are both top trims just with different variation. So the XLE you can get memory seats and rain sensing wipers and a smoother ride more on the luxury model. Pretty straightforward.
I'm locked in to the base trim for fuel economy but the toughest part is choosing between reservoir blue and ocean gem or maybe the ice cap (white) which is the safer option.
I have reservoir and it gets tons of compliments but I wouldn’t buy it again. It shows absolutely everything, and it drives me crazy. If you aren’t picky about your paint, then it’s beautiful at dusk. But I’d choose the white. Ocean gem is beautiful but trendy and you may get sick of it in a few months. I have the XLE and it’s still getting 44.5 mpgs. I’ve had it for 2 weeks.
I’ve always loved the Camry and have owned a few. Current vehicle size needs force us into the wagon size vehicles (Explorer, Highlander, etc). Wish Toyota brought back a true Camry wagon!
I really like the XLE premium plus for the added driver aids like 360 camera and parking sensors and front cross traffic alert when pulling into blind intersections when vision obstructed by large vehicles, bushes or a curve.
Awesome video, thanks! Been looking into a Toyota for the first time. All wheel drive plus hybrid and responsive driving all in one are attractive attributes.
I am really liking those wheels and that color! I feel like car makers have become color-blind we seem to be able to get black. white, grey, silver, and sometimes red or blue if we are lucky.
We have an XLE AWD and it's a wonderful, smooth, quiet, economical drive. The hybrid system is well done indeed. The brakes are the best I've used in years, hybrid or ICE. Interesting you mentioned a thumb rest. Several times I've switched something on when inadvertently using the switches for my thumb! The Dynamica fabric should have been leather on an XLE. It looks odd and cheap. 😩 I do wish there was an off switch for the wireless charger. We don't use it and have a silicone tray on there but can't put wallets or metal keys on it! 😡 That steel hood weighs a ton and needs gas struts! 🙏 Even so, it's a fantastic car.
I have the LE and am very happy with it. I would have considered higher trims if I could have gotten the 16 inch wheels on it. Low profile tires don't do well on potholes.
@@earhustler7019 Really? It's so perfect I have never thought about it until now. I've done trips with this car and the seats are a solid A, maybe considering the trim level an A+
Did someone say, 'seasonally appropriate'? It is August and the Halloween candy is already on display at the supermarkets. 🤨On a brighter note, the AWD Camry is now highly fuel efficient and seasonally appropriate all year.😄
Micah and Family, I always give your videos a 'like' just as I am about to watch it. At the time I started watching your video today, I noticed that it already had received 16,269 views but attained only 910 likes, including mine. It must be very disappointing and frustrating for you and Evie as you two do a lot of work and do an excellent job week-after-week. I never miss a video of yours, as I am always entertained and informed. Keep up the great work, including Kiddo! 👍
Let me send a little love back your direction. When it starts to feel like a grind to keep up our channel, kind and encouraging comments like yours really life our spirits. Thanks for taking time out of your day to type out such a lovely message. Cheers!
Nice fun review. I have a fully refundable down payment on the XLE, white with gray interior with premium package. Won't be in until mid October, I can't wait. 🤪
Oof. That as-tested price is steep. I always think your recommended trim is almost exactly what I’d want, so I appreciate it! You can tell your daughter’s growing up fast - no more booster seat!
I agree, i don't know what's so controversial about it. the previous design language did not age well, the 2012 and 2013 generation did age well, but when you get to the 2016 redesign and the 2018 refresh, we've seen that Camry for awhile now. so with this all new generation, we're back to the Toyota of old styling, yes please. on the new Lexus RX for example, the new look is so much better than the last with that over styled grill. now could they have done better, yeah i would've liked if they made the grill smaller. however it still looks better than the outgoing model, but it looks even better on the new Camry. that's how a Camry should look, nobody who buys a Camry is looking to buy a sports car, they want something that's comfortable to drive and quiet. so you can expect the next gen Rav4 will have some version of this look.
Toyota assumes that XSE trim doesn't need memory seating because it's a "performance" trim. However, Kia offers it on their performance model of the K5. Just something that will make you say, hmm?🤔
Enjoy the Kia buddy. Lets do this. In 5 years lets circle back and see how your kia held up to my Camry. You'll be on the third engine and tranny and Ill be on the first engine and tranny. There is zero comparisions on these two vehicles.
@geraldguerrero4800 All I did was point out feature content that Toyota omits from the Camry, and you assume that I drive a Kia because of a noticeable critique?
I just rented a 2022 Camry with 80000km on the clock. Ignoring the creamy doors and other minor issues from a rough rental life, it was brilliant. It drove really well, the suspension was solid, the steering was tight and accurate, the transmission was good, the engine had enough power, and overall it was an easy, smooth and relaxing drive. The interior was still solid and nothing felt like it was falling apart.
Here’s the trade off on the matte vs gloss black trim. Gloss black equals fingerprints galore. Matte black equals fingerprints galore. The only difference is that the matte black will show up after you pull away from the McD’s window and grab a handful of fries then put your hand over there.
So, while mechanically sound and awd option, not a fan of the interior, especially dash and vents in passenger area. Too much piano black as well. Have to step down from top trim yet add $3800 package to get memory seats? LOL....Toyota has been doing some confusing things the past 2 years across the board. That said...still a fine option for some in the midsize sedan class. Thanks Micah and fam as alwats.
@kazuto2111 ALL new Camrys have push to start as standard. If you want that old school key, which doesn't know why in 2024, then go look at the LE Corolla.
@@WaheedKhan-mm3pw probably miss remembering I traded it for 2022 Rav4 Prime, which has those features, v6 never got better than 28 mpg highway, r4p does 34 highway at 80
I've been in a neighbors 2021 Camry SE and my sisters 2002 Camry XLE. Wow! Toyota actually went downhill in my opinion. My sisters 2002 feels roomier, seats and ride are more comfortable and it's much quieter. The interior materials, except the headliner, feel more upscale in the old Camry. All surfaces, including rear doors, are soft touch. In the 2021, the seats feel harder, ride is stiffer and louder, and it feels smaller inside, not to mention the cheaper plastics and harder materials.
Although one is significantly older than the other, the SE is a LE with a sportier bumper on it. A more direct comparison is XLE to XLE. And the previous generation which your neighbours have was known to have super stiff seating which is rectified is this newer generation.
I agree. My mom traded her 2006 LE after owning it for 16 years for a 2022 LE and I was shocked at how cheap the new interior feels as well as the lack of space compared to her old Camry. However, I do prefer a firmer ride as her old one to me felt floaty and lacked steering feel. I get all this cost cutting goes into other things like safety features, technology, efficiency, and the chassis. I remember she had to specifically order her old Camry with side airbags as they were optional back then. On the other hand, I do appreciate how Toyota makes the 25 Camry hybrid only with a lot of standard features on the LE like rear air vents, wireless phone charging, blind spot monitoring and a spare tire on a hybrid isn’t common. The LE also gets the best gas mileage of all the trims due to its smaller wheels.
@@arhamkhakwani5851 the SE is more than just a bumper change. SE, SXE and TRD have sport tuned suspensions and other things. But my general point is, the current Camry’s are not as big, don’t isolate you, are not as quiet and don’t ride a comfortable as even the 2012-17 and older do. Sure these new ones handle much better, but they don’t have that Camry feel they used too.
Hey! Love the video and will continue to watch! But please discontinue the use of the phrase “spirit animal” as it’s not respectful of many indigenous cultures. Thank you!
Totally correct on that price difference. In fact, you can lease an ES for less per month than this be loaded Camry. The loaded Camry is $42k US. The base Lexus IS $45k. Take the Lex.
The AI generated outro is 😂😂. As an owner of two (stellar) Camrys in the past, this Camry in the XSE configuration would be my choice even over more expensive luxury car brands. There is just no denying it's DNA.
The camera that's mounted nearest me in the car actually is an Osmo Action 4. In shaky scenarios it's less stable than our GoPros. But it also never overheats. Right now we're waiting for the Action 5 release. If it looks solid we'll switch over the rest of our cameras.
I noticed your Camry is over $40K and is no longer available with either tan interior color, or pneumatic hood supports like my old 2001 Camry has. Talk about cutting corners !
I love vented seats and would totally pay extra for them but no memory? No memory is a dealbreaker, I share my cars with my wife, having to manually adjust everything is too much especially because toyota just couldnt be bothered to add the function to an already electric seat.
Perhaps you live somewhere less dusty. In our experience, shiny black plastic looks fine when it's new and clean. But it quickly collects dust, fingerprints, and scratches.
I love how Micah reviews these cars with his family, very rare to see car reviewers do this
And his energy is beyond Red Bull 😊

Micah, would be great to have your thoughts on the base LE.
He talks about trim preferences here: 13:44. Apparently the LE is his preferred trim level.
@JMaxx-fn4he - Definitely the most fuel efficient trim level, but Toyota claims 53/50, or 51 combined.

@@nathanielross8232 why IS over camry?
I like your reviews. But I wish you would review the more affordable base LE model too.
I wonder how the steering is. Is it lighter, or is it heavy like the old version of the Camry?
Is very smooth
Any new car I look at online I make sure it has a spare tire which I know isn't a big deal to a lot of people but I dont want to be stuck somewhere
The loss of the v6 is a tragedy 😭
The power bulge and upper bumper area is a bit reminiscent of the 1987 Supra to me.
Now I can't unsee it. I choose to believe that was the designers intent.
The AI generated outro is 😂😂. As an owner of two (stellar) Camrys in the past, this Camry in the XSE configuration would be my choice even over more expensive luxury car brands. There is just no denying it's DNA.
At us30k it's a great car. Let's leave it at that
Camrys are now over $40K and it's not even a loaded XLE ?! It wasn't that long ago when the Lexus ES started at about that price.
Where can I get that AW11 T-shirt?
@Micah switch your gopro cameras to DJI
The camera that's mounted nearest me in the car actually is an Osmo Action 4. In shaky scenarios it's less stable than our GoPros. But it also never overheats. Right now we're waiting for the Action 5 release. If it looks solid we'll switch over the rest of our cameras.
I noticed your Camry is over $40K and is no longer available with either tan interior color, or pneumatic hood supports like my old 2001 Camry has. Talk about cutting corners !
I love vented seats and would totally pay extra for them but no memory? No memory is a dealbreaker, I share my cars with my wife, having to manually adjust everything is too much especially because toyota just couldnt be bothered to add the function to an already electric seat.
Lexus rz ev suvs are available for 38k!
I thought she said “but can you stick a person there?” 😂
Which one is your daily drive car?
I love shiny black plastic. I don't understand the hate
Perhaps you live somewhere less dusty. In our experience, shiny black plastic looks fine when it's new and clean. But it quickly collects dust, fingerprints, and scratches.
