You decide who wins....2019 Camry XSE 4-cylinder or 2019 Camry XSE V6. Do you need 301hp or is 206hp enough for you? A couple other notes: mpg on 4-cyl is 28/39/32 combined. mpg on V6 is 22/32/26 combined.

I have a 2019 Camry SE. As a daily driver, the 203 HP is more than adequate. It's really hard to justify the V6 when most of the time, I'm in 40-50 mph stop and go traffic. Freeway traffic moves anywhere from 65-80 mph, depending on speed limit. When I do long road trips, I keep the car on cruise control at no more than 5 mph above the posted speed limit. Anything more will attract the attention of the Highway Patrol. The last speeding ticket I got was back in 2016 while I was still driving my 2006 Hyundai Sonata 3.3L V6. That extra torque and power just tempts me to push the car and punch it from a standstill. With the low-HP 4-banger, it's easier to drive like a normal person. If I do go for a V6, might as well move up to a Lexus which is in my future someday.
japekto you right! I have Nissan Titan and gas is killing me, I planning buy Camry 4 cylinder will save me around 200 dollar monthly , but I will keep my truck
@@dropful2347 I was actually considering this car although the v6 isn't practical. I drive too much and would cost me significantly more $ in gas and repairs
LOL Well I've driven both and the Camry wins. I would take the V6 Camry hands down. I'd rather have a naturally aspirated V6 than a tiny turbo 4 5-7 years from now.
I like the 4 cylinder. I could not even afford the V6. Anyway, it is a family/commuter car. The 4 cylinder has more than enough power for me and gets better a lot better gas mileage. That is just my opinion.
I have the 2018 LE with the 4 cylinder. I was just wondering if the 2019 and 2020’s fixed the lag in acceleration yet. I’ve ran a couple red lights because my Camry has a whole second delay in acceleration. Luckily no cameras
Same I went with the 4 cylinder and it still has more power than I’ll probably ever need, this car begs to cruise at 85 plus and does so with very little strain.
I had the 2018 4 cylinder se , threw an air intake on it , loved the car , then I totaled it, fuckin sucked, but anyways I got the 2019 XSE , damn this car just feels awesome an is badass, I would not mind driving a 4cyl Camry again tho
Was originally gunna get the 4 cylinder, but drove the V6 to compare. Then I drove the V6 model home instead. Power is amazing! Then put on sport mode... talk about ❤️👍🏻
Oh yeah, running on eco mode keeps the car from dumping that torque. Whereas when your in sport, your getting all that torque and its dope af. So smooooth 🙂, I love my v6.

I test drived both the XSE 4 cylinder and the V6 both 2020. Both are amazing cars but I ended up getting the 4 cylinder, it's still Fast! It's almost as fast as the V6 not quite as fast but pretty damn close, it's cheaper and has better gas mileage and fuel economy. But you really can't go wrong with either.
@@Toyotajeff im afraid to try the v6.....because i might like it! i have the 4cyl xse aqua metallic! Its great. Engine is very noisy. and it takes forever to warm up!
I was trying to decide between the 4 cylinder and the v6. It was really hard cause the power in the v6 is amazing but it was also like 6k more and I do drive a lot. So I ended up taking home the 4 cylinder but I don't regret.
It's interesting to hear your logic as you describe this. That's similar to how I decided on my 4-cylinder Camry. Well, that and I don't want a speeding ticket hahahahaha jeff
Wise choice! Why pay a high premium for the power that you hardly need? For normal traffic, how often do you need to accelerate? The V6 has lower mileage and is less reliable than the V4.
My 2018 4cyl camry se has averaged about 34mpg over 6500 miles, it has ample power and honestly is a very sporty car for a 4cyl. Cruises on the highway at 85mph in 8th gear getting 40+mpg quite easily. Also, the 4cyl se with push button/passive entry and bsm was 22k otd vs 32k for a v6 xse. Price difference wasnt worth it.
The one I want (XSE V6 w/all options) cost $39k! Whats funny is that the car that I currently own right now (2009 Lexus IS 350) costed that much when it was new!

I two years ago bought a preowned Camry 4cyl. But kept my 2010 Chevy Impala as and extra car (I had bought new). Eventhough for a 4cyl she has some good pick up, I am spoiled by the Impala power. I feel asthough 4 cylinder engines work to hard. I planning on trading in the Camry for a newer Camry with the V6. I'm glad Toyota still offers a V6 unlike Honda and other car companies with Turbo everything
A V6 is definitely a better option for the 20 year lifespan we expect from a Toyota. I think Honda will come to regret their decision to put turbos and CVTs in nearly everything they sell.
4 cylinder engine lets face it as a lifetime Toyota guy I know if taken care of it will last an extra 50k miles over the 6 and that's worth the cost difference equivalent to a 1988 Corolla.
Great video as usual. Jeff! Thanks again. We chose the 4 cylinder for the greatly increased gas mileage. No doubt the V6 would be fun but the I4 fits better for us 90% of the time. Love the Wind Chill Pearl! We compared an XSE in that color to the Super White SE that we eventually bought. I think the white or Pearl works extremely well with the black accents of the new Camry as your video proves! That Cockpit Red interior in the XSE is amazing but black worked better for us. We would have gotten black even if we got the XSE. Ash gray is just too drab.
@@Toyotajeff It's probably good I didn't test drive the V6, I might have brought it home! I knew the I4 was the smart choice for us so why put miles on a car someone else will buy and waste the salesman's time. But yeah, I'm an idiot, I should have driven one! We are lucky Toyota still offers a V6 in the Camry. Honda doesn't in the Accord and other mid-size cars don't either. Instead they slap a turbo on their I4 or offer a weak 4. Accord seems to edge out the Camry in auto reviews but I don't know what they're smoking. Plus Honda has major recall and lawsuit problems with oil dilution/contamination in their I4 turbo engines. No thank you!
@@djmrtdfw Well the XSE costs about $4000 more but you get a lot for that upgrade. Off the top of my head but pretty complete because I went through this decision not long ago - sportier 19" wheels, all LED head and tail lights, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, dynamic backup camera lines, extra safety in collision avoidance, dual climate control, push button drive modes, electric parking brake, better Entunes version, 7" digital instrument cluster display (instead of 4"), power passenger seat, the cockpit red interior is added to the black and gray as a choice. Dual exhaust with quad chrome tips. Extra cost colors not available in the SE and you can get a panoramic moon roof and V6. Toyota Jeff has a video comparing all the Camry trim levels.
Just bought the 2020 Camry v6 optioned out. Did the research for quite awhile before deciding, weight to HP moved me towards the v6. Less wear with the v6 over the I-4 with that much curb weight. minor down sides were 1. no seat position memory for driver, (not available), 2. no USB or 12v ports for the rear seats, (not available) 3. you can't use the camera's while driving, (not available) particularly the side view camera's, pretty large blind spots. Even though the mirrors do have blind spot detectors, it's an uneasy feeling not knowing where the other vehicle is and what their doing until their right up on you. Very solid, really quiet on the interior, nice sound system. Lane assist scared the sh*t out of me when it pulled itself back into the travel lane the first time or two, but is really cool to watch and scare your friends a bit. All in all, a good buy and highly recommend.
Michael Langiano Wait those features that you listed are only available on the 4cyl models? That’s strange considering how the 6cyl should be the top trim.
Great comparison. I was just a bit bothered at 0:40. I've had hood struts give out on me while working on cars, but never a prop rod. More convenient? Yes. More safe? No
That's a good point Laz. The reason I said that is I've heard of people doing their own work who don't attach the prop rod correctly and it gives out and falls.....Thanks for adding in...jeff
@@Toyotajeff You would be correct. My son was attempting to work on his own car for the first time (proud Dad moment) but he didn't have the prop rod set in right and the hood came down on him. Luckily it wasn't a heavy hood and it pissed him off more than anything lol. Side note: I've been anti-Camry my entire life, simply because they've always seemed so cookie cutter boring over the years....All that has now changed and I'll be test driving the XSE V6 tomorrow. I don't care how good a car looks, if it doesn't perform just as well as it looks or better, I'm not interested. Even at 41 I still have a very heavy foot, especially with on-ramp acceleration, and after hearing your HP and torque numbers on the V6, along with the comments about the sport mode, I do believe I'll dig this Camry finally.
That's the trick part of my question...they are both really good choices. Each of us will have different reasons for picking one or the other! viva la toyota! jeff
Jeff, can you please make a video of the camry xse dealer accessories? That would be appealing. Buyers can visualize how those accessories would look and improve sales. Im sure everyone would love to see it
@@Toyotajeff I DON'T MIND THE RED INTERIOR. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE A RED INTERIOR, BUT IT LOOKS FANTASTIC. I PREFER A SILVER OR GREY EXTERIOR THOUGH WITH THE RED RIMS. I SAW ONE ON-LINE FROM 2018. IT WAD GORGEOUS. I WOULD JUST WORRY ABOUT IT BEING STOLEN! NO GARAGE IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. NOT EVEN A CARPORT.
Yeah alot of manufacturers are making their lower tier models look identical to the more expensive ones. A shame really, these Camery's should have some differences.
Jeff I feel like the celestial silver with black top and cockpit red seats are the unicorns of the updated Camry’s. They are almost impossible to find, especially in an in-line 4.
yeah those are tricky to find. I think I had one of those on my lot a few months ago with those specs. I'll do a video if another one comes along...jeff
I go for 4 cylinder cuz I want to save money on gas. I’m not trying to zoom every where I’m just trying to flow and keep money in my pocket. Had a v6 and paid for gas every two days. It all depends on the person.
I just test drive both the 4 cylinder and V6 XSE models yesterday. Same color same everything. The 6 cylinder was by far the best of the two. Yes it uses a bit more gas but the power and smoothness of the engine while driving is so much better than the 4 cylinder. The 4 cylinder was loud and felt a bit under powered for this car. Maybe good if your just looking for that better gas mileage but if you want a smooth quiet ride then V6 is the way to go.
I have a v6 Camry and love it. Will be hard to go back to 4 cylinder! But maintenance can be expensive on a v6. Spark plugs and replacement can be double the price of a 4 cylinder. Replacing water pump is 1200+ and so on..
I have a R1 and a 370Z. The 4Cyl Camry is really enough for a daily driver. Perfect passing power on the street and I've been averaging 43.8 mpg on the highway for longer drives and 41 on the shorter drives. City I've seen 29-34
The way I see it is that if you're going for the base SE Model, get the 2.5, as its going to be a cheap, reliable, economy commuter simple car.. however if you're going for the top-of-the-line XSE, get the 3.5, it'll be the most luxurious, fun, and sporty option.
I’ve Camry SE 2019 and I think for 2 weal drive u don’t need more than 206 hp because the car I have slips its tires when I press the gas paddle hard ( my friends got surprised😲 ) so I don’t think having more hp on FWD can run u faster while tires are slipping. Conclusively, I would recommend AWD if u are going to buy a v6 Camry.
Sheesh I can’t wait to get this Camry. I have a 08’ XLE V6 currently I’m debating if having a V6 is worth it. I do like saving gas tho lol but that power man 🤯🤯🤯
I have this 2019 since nov.,,, V6,, I love it so far👍👍,, the reason is simple, I drive it mostly on freeway , much fun, v6 doesn't really need paddle shifter, very responsive if you want to pass vehicles on highway speed and is where shows off those 301HP, but! If you are the one likes to show off what you got from full stop to whatever speed you might be disappointed a lil, small gap of delay on trans ,, test drive it, specially yours is a v6 too. Good luck..
The XSE 4 cylinder with most of the options the V6 model has would be most sufficient for me Jeff! I just wish one could order the Blue Streak with the Red interior! That would be a Hot combination in my personal opinion! Mark in Iowa.
Im not sure i like the 4ycl xse looking the exact same as the xse v6. Not saying there should be too many differences but damn something besides the engine and these little sensors would be nice
The Camry that I had was more than sufficiently powered by the four..but if gas mileage is of no concern and you think you need it, go with V-6. I drive Lexus ES 350 with V-6; it is truly a wonderful engine and I'll hate it if they ever quit producing them.
Ok thank you for not driving both of them side by side and show us the real diference....it's good to know one has one button that is black and the other it's brown 🙄
I hate the bottom sucking carp grill on the new Camry. I also don't like the seats. My 2014 was very comfortable but the newer models feel cramped and smaller. I test drove a new 4 cylinder which claims 25 hp more than my old 2014 model but was actually slower. I find that the four is adequate. When I want real power I get out the Corvette.
Yep agree useless video. We wanted to know what was different. All he did was show what is the same. Nothing about fuel economy differences, acceleration difference, towing or seat of pants drive and ride difference.
The V6 would be fun but I chose the 4 for the extra fuel fuel economy. Plus the dealer only had the 4 cyl. in the color I wanted. The 4 has more than enough oomph imo.
All my life I’ve always bought the Hi End top of the line model... Now I am old enough to realize Ian not in a hurry anymore...😬😂🤣🚔 Plus the Six grand extra in my pocket make me the Good Paw Paw...LoL...
V6 all the way! Used to have a black on black 2015 XSE V6. Loved the car! My mom drives a 2017 XLE 4-cylinder which has plenty of power for me, but much prefer the sound of the V6. I didn't like the black roof on the new one at first, but has really grown on me & I would get one in that color combo.
I've all most always have had an American v8 with plenty of power but the gas mileage has always taken a back seat but now I've tested both 6 & the 4 cly camry with both having all the options I find the camry looks sporty and classy I chose the the 4 cylinder I don't have the need for speed I'd rather have the good gas mileage
Of course simply put, here's my viewpoint: Those who prefer to trade in some power for bonus efficiency (while still providing above-average acceleration in the mid 7-second range especially for a 200+ hp I4 engine) will pick the 4-Cylinder.. ...and those who prefer to trade in some efficiency for bonus power (while still providing above-average efficiency even for a 300+ hp V6 engine), will pick the V6. Your move...
I have a V6 3.5 Lexus ES350 and thinking of trading in for one of these camrys with an I4... I'm throwing money away at the pump for no reason. I4 is plenty enough power for commuting. My Lexus is great and I love it, but I have spending 90$ everytime I have to fill up.
I bought the 2019 SE camry 4cyl and the horsepower is more than enough for a daily driver and I do have a 370z/Bike on the side and It doesnt feel like a total slouch compared to those. Perfect passing power on the highway.
I have a SE , one of the first in Baltimore. Test drove XSE, only big difference is the HP and torque. All other incar upgrades I can do myself. I have 70 dollars tune chip and and a weapon R aftermarket air intake $330. Now it produce lil over 270hp for under $450 instead of $10,000 more for XSE V6. In another year im gonna buy a 2020 Lexus E series. If you want a v6 XSE minds well get a Lexus around 5 grand more.
I love how in detail you go with every little difference and sameness that the v6 and v4 have. You did a great job, and now i have a better idea on which one suites me better !!! (V6 that is… 😎)
get the v6. then when you want to sell it private sale you can sell it over market value. 6 cylinders are becoming a thing of the past and very rare to find..
We had a 4 cylinder hit a really good deal on it couldn’t pass it up. Only had it a couple of months and it got totaled out by a hell storm. I had to get a v6 after that. The 4 just to fuel conscious shifting way too much. The V-6 is so much nicer to drive but you can really tell the fuel mileage between the two.
You guys should add the V6 emblem to the back. When I get mines im going to add it. I'm also going to turn the quad tips into just two tips (quad is too much imo just for a V6).
@Hamim Mahatab LOL. Let the man be proud of his V6 Camry. It might be the most expensive car he can buy maybe because he does not have a high income. So, let him enjoy his purchase.
To keep it 💯 coming from a lexus is300 the v6 motors are okay but the 4cyl packs enough to get on tue freeway with ease and passing lets be honest your not gunna be passing anyone going over 110 , the v6 is nice but might as well get a sports tuned motor than a daily driver if that makes sense....but either way cant go wrong with either....i ended up gettin the 2020 xse 4cyl fully loaded and i love it
I own the V6 because it was what was available when I was looking to trade. I've also owned the I4. The I4 gets a good eight miles per gallon better gas mileage, but the V6 is smoother and quieter. The I4 has more than enough power for sane driving. If you actually "need" the 300 HP of the V6, then you drive much too aggressively, and are eventually going to hurt or kill someone. Do you really want to live with that for the rest of your life?
You decide who wins....2019 Camry XSE 4-cylinder or 2019 Camry XSE V6. Do you need 301hp or is 206hp enough for you? A couple other notes: mpg on 4-cyl is 28/39/32 combined. mpg on V6 is 22/32/26 combined.

Great video as usual. Jeff! Thanks again. We chose the 4 cylinder for the greatly increased gas mileage. No doubt the V6 would be fun but the I4 fits better for us 90% of the time. Love the Wind Chill Pearl! We compared an XSE in that color to the Super White SE that we eventually bought. I think the white or Pearl works extremely well with the black accents of the new Camry as your video proves! That Cockpit Red interior in the XSE is amazing but black worked better for us. We would have gotten black even if we got the XSE. Ash gray is just too drab.
That's awesome Quentin! the SE looks great in white! jeff
@@Toyotajeff It's probably good I didn't test drive the V6, I might have brought it home! I knew the I4 was the smart choice for us so why put miles on a car someone else will buy and waste the salesman's time. But yeah, I'm an idiot, I should have driven one!
We are lucky Toyota still offers a V6 in the Camry. Honda doesn't in the Accord and other mid-size cars don't either. Instead they slap a turbo on their I4 or offer a weak 4. Accord seems to edge out the Camry in auto reviews but I don't know what they're smoking. Plus Honda has major recall and lawsuit problems with oil dilution/contamination in their I4 turbo engines. No thank you!
Whats the difference in the XSE and SE?
@@djmrtdfw Well the XSE costs about $4000 more but you get a lot for that upgrade. Off the top of my head but pretty complete because I went through this decision not long ago - sportier 19" wheels, all LED head and tail lights, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, dynamic backup camera lines, extra safety in collision avoidance, dual climate control, push button drive modes, electric parking brake, better Entunes version, 7" digital instrument cluster display (instead of 4"), power passenger seat, the cockpit red interior is added to the black and gray as a choice. Dual exhaust with quad chrome tips. Extra cost colors not available in the SE and you can get a panoramic moon roof and V6. Toyota Jeff has a video comparing all the Camry trim levels.
Just bought the 2020 Camry v6 optioned out. Did the research for quite awhile before deciding, weight to HP moved me towards the v6. Less wear with the v6 over the I-4 with that much curb weight. minor down sides were 1. no seat position memory for driver, (not available), 2. no USB or 12v ports for the rear seats, (not available) 3. you can't use the camera's while driving, (not available) particularly the side view camera's, pretty large blind spots. Even though the mirrors do have blind spot detectors, it's an uneasy feeling not knowing where the other vehicle is and what their doing until their right up on you. Very solid, really quiet on the interior, nice sound system. Lane assist scared the sh*t out of me when it pulled itself back into the travel lane the first time or two, but is really cool to watch and scare your friends a bit. All in all, a good buy and highly recommend.
Michael Langiano Wait those features that you listed are only available on the 4cyl models? That’s strange considering how the 6cyl should be the top trim.
@@khoaphan8490 Neither the 4 cyl or the 6 cyl have these available.
Great comparison. I was just a bit bothered at 0:40. I've had hood struts give out on me while working on cars, but never a prop rod. More convenient? Yes. More safe? No
That's a good point Laz. The reason I said that is I've heard of people doing their own work who don't attach the prop rod correctly and it gives out and falls.....Thanks for adding in...jeff
@@Toyotajeff You would be correct. My son was attempting to work on his own car for the first time (proud Dad moment) but he didn't have the prop rod set in right and the hood came down on him. Luckily it wasn't a heavy hood and it pissed him off more than anything lol.
Side note: I've been anti-Camry my entire life, simply because they've always seemed so cookie cutter boring over the years....All that has now changed and I'll be test driving the XSE V6 tomorrow. I don't care how good a car looks, if it doesn't perform just as well as it looks or better, I'm not interested. Even at 41 I still have a very heavy foot, especially with on-ramp acceleration, and after hearing your HP and torque numbers on the V6, along with the comments about the sport mode, I do believe I'll dig this Camry finally.
Both great motors, can’t go wrong with either. One of the last few V6’s around, get ‘em while they last! lol
That's the trick part of my question...they are both really good choices. Each of us will have different reasons for picking one or the other! viva la toyota! jeff
*coughs *
Jeff, can you please make a video of the camry xse dealer accessories? That would be appealing. Buyers can visualize how those accessories would look and improve sales. Im sure everyone would love to see it
My god, these things are beautiful! Once again another great video Jeff!
I fell in love with these 2 cars over the hour I was working with them haha...jeff
And I applaud Toyota as one of the only brands left that puts a V6 in their cars instead of I4s
Love the color combo, even the red interior looks cool. If I had to pick I would get the 4cly. With the options of course. Thanks for sharing Jeff.
I never thought I'd like red interior in a car, but the Camry pulls it off. Not for me but it's super popular! jeff
I’m not one for a red interior but it looks good. I prefer gray or black.
I feel the same way Kevin! I would never buy red for myself...BUT.....I'm a gray/ash/graphite interior person myself...jeff
@@Toyotajeff I DON'T MIND THE RED INTERIOR. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE
A RED INTERIOR, BUT IT LOOKS FANTASTIC. I PREFER A SILVER OR GREY EXTERIOR THOUGH WITH THE RED RIMS. I SAW ONE ON-LINE FROM 2018. IT WAD GORGEOUS. I WOULD JUST WORRY ABOUT IT BEING STOLEN! NO GARAGE IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. NOT EVEN A CARPORT.
The 4 cylinder model should only have dual exhaust and then only the 6 cylinder should get the quad exhaust.
Or neither because its tacky and doesnt belong on a normal commuter car
Yeah alot of manufacturers are making their lower tier models look identical to the more expensive ones. A shame really, these Camery's should have some differences.
The 4 cyl with the quad exhaust is totally fine.
Jeff I feel like the celestial silver with black top and cockpit red seats are the unicorns of the updated Camry’s. They are almost impossible to find, especially in an in-line 4.
yeah those are tricky to find. I think I had one of those on my lot a few months ago with those specs. I'll do a video if another one comes along...jeff
I go for 4 cylinder cuz I want to save money on gas. I’m not trying to zoom every where I’m just trying to flow and keep money in my pocket. Had a v6 and paid for gas every two days. It all depends on the person.
I just test drive both the 4 cylinder and V6 XSE models yesterday. Same color same everything. The 6 cylinder was by far the best of the two. Yes it uses a bit more gas but the power and smoothness of the engine while driving is so much better than the 4 cylinder. The 4 cylinder was loud and felt a bit under powered for this car. Maybe good if your just looking for that better gas mileage but if you want a smooth quiet ride then V6 is the way to go.
I have a v6 Camry and love it. Will be hard to go back to 4 cylinder! But maintenance can be expensive on a v6. Spark plugs and replacement can be double the price of a 4 cylinder. Replacing water pump is 1200+ and so on..
I have a R1 and a 370Z. The 4Cyl Camry is really enough for a daily driver. Perfect passing power on the street and I've been averaging 43.8 mpg on the highway for longer drives and 41 on the shorter drives. City I've seen 29-34
The way I see it is that if you're going for the base SE Model, get the 2.5, as its going to be a cheap, reliable, economy commuter simple car.. however if you're going for the top-of-the-line XSE, get the 3.5, it'll be the most luxurious, fun, and sporty option.
I’ve Camry SE 2019 and I think for 2 weal drive u don’t need more than 206 hp because the car I have slips its tires when I press the gas paddle hard ( my friends got surprised😲 ) so I don’t think having more hp on FWD can run u faster while tires are slipping. Conclusively, I would recommend AWD if u are going to buy a v6 Camry.
Sheesh I can’t wait to get this Camry. I have a 08’ XLE V6 currently I’m debating if having a V6 is worth it. I do like saving gas tho lol but that power man 🤯🤯🤯
I have this 2019 since nov.,,, V6,, I love it so far👍👍,, the reason is simple, I drive it mostly on freeway , much fun, v6 doesn't really need paddle shifter, very responsive if you want to pass vehicles on highway speed and is where shows off those 301HP, but! If you are the one likes to show off what you got from full stop to whatever speed you might be disappointed a lil, small gap of delay on trans ,, test drive it, specially yours is a v6 too. Good luck..
Yah but that 200 HP in the 4 cyl is pretty sweet.
Can’t lose with either one, going with the 4 cylinder 👍
I'm trying to decide on the Camry XSE V6 and the Avalon Touring. Both are pretty awesome cars!
collegeboytwo touring is hideous. Get the XSE
Avalon.
XSE V6
I absolutely love the V6. I just bought the new Lexus ES 350 and man it’s very smooth.
That's awesome Ahmad! jef
The winner is the 4cyl. Since 4 cyl, normally outlast the 6cyl on milles. Take it from someone who knows engines. 😉
Yep, and 4 cyl are far easier to work on, much more reliable and longer lasting
The XSE 4 cylinder with most of the options the V6 model has would be most sufficient for me Jeff! I just wish one could order the Blue Streak with the Red interior! That would be a Hot combination in my personal opinion! Mark in Iowa.
I love the energy you have my friend keep them awesome videos coming thumbs up 👍🏻
Im not sure i like the 4ycl xse looking the exact same as the xse v6. Not saying there should be too many differences but damn something besides the engine and these little sensors would be nice
gsteel98 power from the v6 is a major enough difference
Thank you for the video comparison. I’m in the market for a “newer” vehicle. And this make and model is my first choice.
The Camry that I had was more than sufficiently powered by the four..but if gas mileage is of no concern and you think you need it, go with V-6. I drive Lexus ES 350 with V-6; it is truly a wonderful engine and I'll hate it if they ever quit producing them.
Which ES year do you have ? I’m on the market for one looking to get 2016 up to the 2019 !! Any recommendations
Ok thank you for not driving both of them side by side and show us the real diference....it's good to know one has one button that is black and the other it's brown 🙄
Lol yeah. Useless video
The 4cylinder/ I have the 09 Camry, and will be looking for a 4yr old Camry soon.
I hate the bottom sucking carp grill on the new Camry. I also don't like the seats. My 2014 was very comfortable but the newer models feel cramped and smaller. I test drove a new 4 cylinder which claims 25 hp more than my old 2014 model but was actually slower. I find that the four is adequate. When I want real power I get out the Corvette.
I like the six cylinder,when you have a need for speed it’s there.
no actual test drive? I thought he was going to compare the performance
Yep agree useless video. We wanted to know what was different. All he did was show what is the same. Nothing about fuel economy differences, acceleration difference, towing or seat of pants drive and ride difference.
Informative and entertaining video! Great work putting it together Jeff
The V6 would be fun but I chose the 4 for the extra fuel fuel economy. Plus the dealer only had the 4 cyl. in the color I wanted. The 4 has more than enough oomph imo.
love your videos and commentary jeff. keep em coming. Wish the hybrid SE had red leather seats too.
Yep only black and ash interiors available on the SE hybrid. Thanks so much for the compliments and the props! jeff
Ugh! This is my dream car. The XSE V6 but in blue with a black roof. One of these days, this baby will be mine!
I have the 4 cylinder with all options
hows your mpg and speed?
All my life I’ve always bought the Hi End top of the line model...
Now I am old enough to realize Ian not in a hurry anymore...😬😂🤣🚔
Plus the Six grand extra in my pocket make me the Good Paw Paw...LoL...
This guy is hilarious, love his videos
Really nice of you to say!! Have a great week! Jeff
“Quietly cringing”
Both are great motors just depends on the buyer and how many horsepower you prefer.
looks like one of the best camry i ever seen. body wise. but hope those engines and transmission last long. like the old toyotas did.
Bought the 4 cylinder xse in silver with the black top and red interior and my wife loves it. Best Toyota Camry built so far. Loving it!
sergio esquivel for how much? Thks
Đăng Nguyễn only 35k
I would get the 2020 camry se 4 cylinder with supersonics red and moonroof. 27000 well spent
V6 all the way! Used to have a black on black 2015 XSE V6. Loved the car! My mom drives a 2017 XLE 4-cylinder which has plenty of power for me, but much prefer the sound of the V6. I didn't like the black roof on the new one at first, but has really grown on me & I would get one in that color combo.
I choose the 4 cylander. Good hp, killer gas mileage
gayxman5353 indeed
I’m looking at the 19 xse in black myself, ima trade in my 17 Nissan Sentra sv put a lil cash down also 😉
This new v6 is decently fuel efficient, so the only reason I can see people choosing 4 cylinder is the price difference.
@GMManiac That is very impressive!
And the not wanting any speeding tickets factor, although you can get get caught speeding in the 4cyl. The V6 just begs to be driven fast.
I really like the 4 cylinder because of the better mpg but I just looked online that they have a lot of engine issues so you should probably get a v6
I have a '14 camry se v6. Passing power is so nice! Low end torque of the v6 is a winner for me.
35-38k new I believe...I'll wait for a good used v6
Just got mine brand new blue streak with JBL system 4 cylinder for 30,500 final price shop you will find a deal
I've all most always have had an American v8 with plenty of power but the gas mileage has always taken a back seat but now I've tested both 6 & the 4 cly camry with both having all the options I find the camry looks sporty and classy I chose the the 4 cylinder I don't have the need for speed I'd rather have the good gas mileage
Looking at these will make me cry :( i own a Toyota Camry 2008 and it will complete 11 years with me after two months
Why should you cry? You have a terrific car that can last 10 more years.
@@rightlanehog3151 it has 150 horsepower and I like sporty cars tbh 😂
@@MrLonely_95 it is your money, spend it wisely.
Keep that 2008 till the wheels fall off. These Camry’s get more sporty every other year
@@nitasu4690 Agreed.
100% agree on Empire and Seinfeld. Oh yeah, Ima gonna get me a V6
Of course simply put, here's my viewpoint: Those who prefer to trade in some power for bonus efficiency (while still providing above-average acceleration in the mid 7-second range especially for a 200+ hp I4 engine) will pick the 4-Cylinder..
...and those who prefer to trade in some efficiency for bonus power (while still providing above-average efficiency even for a 300+ hp V6 engine), will pick the V6.
Your move...
Good analysis! jeff
Agreed. The 4 cyl. is no slouch.
Just got the V6 yesterday. I test drive both, and i couldn't stand the v4 . v6 was so smooth and couldn't even feel the gear change.
That’s awesome!!
thank you! just the vid I need, debating between 4 or v6 . you save me a headache look through websites
Jeff, I am waiting for the V6 vs 4 cylinder RAV4 video.
How about performance side by side acceleration companion "race"
That's what I thought this video was about
Agree seeing that is what will be different. Useless video
Very good presentation well done thank you so much good information.
Great video. I have a 2018 Camry SE. Do you know which fog lights I can get installed ? Thank u
I wish the V6 had a badge on the back stating it’s a V6 😢
i think there will be custom badge selling somewhere
Anonymous Suomynona you can hear the difference.
I have a V6 3.5 Lexus ES350 and thinking of trading in for one of these camrys with an I4... I'm throwing money away at the pump for no reason. I4 is plenty enough power for commuting. My Lexus is great and I love it, but I have spending 90$ everytime I have to fill up.
I bought the 2019 SE camry 4cyl and the horsepower is more than enough for a daily driver and I do have a 370z/Bike on the side and It doesnt feel like a total slouch compared to those. Perfect passing power on the highway.
And its almost as fast as your 370z :)
I have a SE , one of the first in Baltimore. Test drove XSE, only big difference is the HP and torque. All other incar upgrades I can do myself. I have 70 dollars tune chip and and a weapon R aftermarket air intake $330. Now it produce lil over 270hp for under $450 instead of $10,000 more for XSE V6. In another year im gonna buy a 2020 Lexus E series. If you want a v6 XSE minds well get a Lexus around 5 grand more.
my favorite part: "...and also for aerodynamics, it has the black gloss side mirror with turn signal indicator..." 01:55 LOL
I love how in detail you go with every little difference and sameness that the v6 and v4 have. You did a great job, and now i have a better idea on which one suites me better !!! (V6 that is… 😎)
Thumbs up for the cool sound effects my dude!!
get the v6. then when you want to sell it private sale you can sell it over market value. 6 cylinders are becoming a thing of the past and very rare to find..
Kicking tires about a year now....this is one of my last picks next to the TUNDRA baby!
We had a 4 cylinder hit a really good deal on it couldn’t pass it up. Only had it a couple of months and it got totaled out by a hell storm. I had to get a v6 after that. The 4 just to fuel conscious shifting way too much. The V-6 is so much nicer to drive but you can really tell the fuel mileage between the two.
It’s not a 4 way passenger seat. It’s standard 8 way passenger on XSE, XLE 4 and 6 cylinder. It’s 6 way passenger on all other trims
You guys should add the V6 emblem to the back. When I get mines im going to add it. I'm also going to turn the quad tips into just two tips (quad is too much imo just for a V6).
@Hamim Mahatab LOL. Let the man be proud of his V6 Camry. It might be the most expensive car he can buy maybe because he does not have a high income. So, let him enjoy his purchase.
To keep it 💯 coming from a lexus is300 the v6 motors are okay but the 4cyl packs enough to get on tue freeway with ease and passing lets be honest your not gunna be passing anyone going over 110 , the v6 is nice but might as well get a sports tuned motor than a daily driver if that makes sense....but either way cant go wrong with either....i ended up gettin the 2020 xse 4cyl fully loaded and i love it
Best video ever, subscribed to you my man 👍🏼💪🏼😂
kristian york thanks I really appreciate it! I’m so glad you are on my channel now
I own the V6 because it was what was available when I was looking to trade. I've also owned the I4. The I4 gets a good eight miles per gallon better gas mileage, but the V6 is smoother and quieter. The I4 has more than enough power for sane driving. If you actually "need" the 300 HP of the V6, then you drive much too aggressively, and are eventually going to hurt or kill someone. Do you really want to live with that for the rest of your life?
Toyota if you’re listening please put an axle lift system on the next Toyota Camry because it would make lots of sense to do that
