Hey guys! Hope you all are having a fantastic week. We'd like to once again thank the sponsor of this video, Keeps. Please be sure to visit www.keeps.com/redline to get a special offer. We also wanted to clarify the LED daytime running lights, they are indeed amber in color, but only at night. During the day, Toyota says it switches over to a white DRL. Let's hope that either a TRD or GR Camry will follow this new version at some point!
“Keeps” ain’t working to well at restoring your hair loss😂🥴
I mean good for you on your new sponsorship but the choice of sponsor is a pretty hilarious one amongst the car crowd
I LOVE TOYOTA CAMRY, BUT THEY NEED TO MAKE A V8 400HP CAMRY. IT'S ALWAYS SLOW AS SHET.
@@UltimateZeno783 A V8 Camry will never happen.
@@mr.oshawottryana.m.1785 Why not? Lexus have V8's. If not, then V6 twin turbo pushing 855hp than can compete with the Charger hellcat redeye.
This looks a lot more like a second refresh rather than a redesign.
Only thing maybe the same is the chassis the body and tech is all new.....it's definitely a redesign but they kept what people recognize as a Camry from the last generation....
Same car since 2018 just with a updated styling, dash design, and new tech. Other than that literally the same car since the 2018 model year.
it is, toyota said it's a heavy refresh. Same 8th gen platform underneath.
yeah I was just thinking that also. This is how the Camry should have been facelifted like 3 years ago.
@@truckercowboyed2638this is almost identical to the current one.
Looks like a heavy refresh rather than a redesign but regardless it still looks good.thank you Toyota for keeping the sedan alive
Right at least they still have cars and they believe in doing a substantial update every 4 years like auto makers use to do in the past.
Alive for fleet vehicles and Ubers over the age of 35
Most likely it is just a significant refresh! Look at the part placement similarities compared to the current gen!
Yeah kind of like the 2015 Camry where the exterior was changed except for the roof
Looks good lol .ugly inside and exterior needs a redesign already ugly too . Spend your money somewhere else people .
8th gen V6 trims about to go up in value lol
Agreed 😁. I’m loving the XSE w the v6 hence why I own one.
For real
@naveenthemachine glad I got a 2017 V6 Honda Accord. Last of its kind. 422,000km going strong. Only ever had to replace the gas cap 😂 no other mechanical failures whatsoever
@@aaz19922013 V6 accord here. Nice big engine suited for the car, rides well, and makes a good exhaust note when you floor it.
@@ganzonomy yessss the sound
Exterior is a bit of a letdown but the interior is a major step up!
well its toyota im not surprised
What's wrong with the exterior?
Personally I was hoping for a bit more of a difference in styling from the last gen. It makes sense that they refreshed it heavily but with their other vehicles and their designs I expected a little more.
I was thinking the same thing
yeeeeah i love the prius, but it feels like its becomeing their "flagship"
Am i the only one who loves the old school camry..? ❤
Nope. I miss the V6 already
Not at all! These new models are ugly and cheap looking!
2015, 2016 and 2017 were the best
2011 V6 SE Camry in Barcelona Red. Lowered with custom exhaust riding on black 18's. 275k miles and still beats almost every other car on the road. I did say ALMOST. I easily would be bested by a lot of MUCH newer sports cars and sedans.
The current gen is still selling like hotcakes so i can see why Toyota doesn’t want to mess with a good thing but those headlights have had the same shape since 2007.
The current generation is NOT selling like hotcakes. They sold only 295,000 Camrys for the 2022 model year. In the 2015 model year they sold over 400,000 Camrys.
@@jameswillett7186 Those kind of numbers are somewhat impressive in a CUV/SUV dominant market especially considering a lot of other brands are dropping sedans or only sell a portion of that. Only the Accord comes close.
EXACTLY why fix what is not broken...
@jameswillett7186 Keep in mind the economy is rightnow
Camry sales low cause Hyundai/kia taking over
This guy does a great job. Very helpful.
I think a lot of people might be let down because it looks similar to the last gen. If this design would have came out before I’m sure it would have been very positively received. It is a very nice looking car, especially the interior. I do understand why people are disappointed that it looks more like a heavy refresh than a new redesign. I am kind of disappointed too that it doesn’t look like a major change but I still think it looks really good tbh.
It just looks like a bigger Corolla
Thanks everyone your team is amazing appreciate you guys
For most people watching this, the rear seat is the most important part, since that's where you'll be riding in it, in the back of an Uber.
Nice humour 😂
Incredible, tho it feels like Lexus is becoming Toyota and Toyota is becoming Lexus.
Thanks for this great reveal!!!
Lol..
You delusional.
Lexus is just a toyoTAXI in a prom dress🙄
They’re the same brand
@@SteezyLuiI think he means that Toyota is becoming the more luxurious side of their business, where as the Lexus division is trying to keep more traditionally reliable engines
@@Andrew-pv8oz you’re right
Well, lexus is a bit disappointing for the luxury department. With toyota quality and eputation, the company should have done everything to make lexus compete with BMW, mercedes and audi. But, the auto industry always compares lexus with rdx/mdx.
I like the sharper look, hopefully the shiny piano black vents on the passenger side are revised before getting to the production model.
On a technical side note: always amazed by the professional, seamless one takes on these videos by Mr S and team. Thanks
lol yeah front looks like and snow plow Camry .
Finally, a new car that grandpa can get behind.
Honestly the best luxury is not having to worry about a car, that 2.5 hybrid should be bulletproof by this point
I agree with the point on luxury!!!;)
Yep, 3 Lexuses in my household and I could buy BMW or Mercedes if I want to for just a little more money. Don’t want to deal with German cars anymore, well except the Porsche 911.
thank you for all the info.
Amazing review on my favorite sedan dude.
Am I getting old? This may be the first Camry which I like the styling of the XLE over the XSE!
Somebody grab me a chair 💺. Let me sit next to this comment. 😅😅👍🏾
Congratulations 👏 you are no longer cool
Legit had this exact same thought lol that red was a bit much on the dash for my old eyes
I have always preferred the XSE styling but I have to agree with you!
Agree! XLE and XSE not that big of a difference. However I like the black line in XSE rear end that connects the taillights.
It looks similar to the current one. Looks like a heavy refresh. Not sure if I like the exterior but it is definitely better than the new accord. Since it’s all hybrid I think they should have went a step further and made the hybrid max powertrain as an option on xse with 300 hp and AWD and the 340hp version with AWD in a GR Camry version. I’m not surprised as this is what the market for these cars is like. Still better than the new accord but I’ll keep my accord 2.0t for awhile. 😩
I agree. Kia and huyndai still gives you k5gt and Sonata Nline with 290 hp, and no reliability bs gonna sway me over more power from the factory. I love more power
Redline Reviews make the best videos ever! 😁
So glad they fixed that infotainment screen. Hybrid AWD sounds worth a test drive.
i like how it looks! i just wish they worked on the sides a bit more, its still very recognizable from it's last gen (from the sides at least), but the interior is a major upgrade
Chicken drumbette
The last gen looks too good from the side tbh. They'll probably ruin the car if they changed it.
Does the front letterbox design remind anyone of the '90s Supra, or is it just me? I also think the XSE grill has some optical illusion thing going on and it looks pretty cool.
I would rather have a 1993 Camry with the V6
Agreed. The 1993 is beautiful and still looks great
Yeah, and rear end some poor citizen because your vehicle doesn't have automatic emergency braking, while you get older and more distracted.
If you need to rely on emergency braking you shouldn’t be driving
@@MikeJohnson-ej4oc I bet you drive a boring crossover
@@Jak2bossbf3 Thank you, MikeJohnson is probably a bad driver
So close to 1 million subs ❤️
I like the refresh.
But I was hoping there would be a more powerful power train available for the Camry.
I guess Toyota and Lexus have decided to offer more distinction across the Camry, Crown and ES models as opposed to previous years where both companies shared similar power trains
This is a very heavy refresh imo.
Toyota knows their customers this is a family sedan not a sports car if you want a sports car they offer the GR86 and the Supra.
They may bring a prime when it is time for a mid cycle refresh.
I remember looking at the 2011 Camrys and thinking it looked amazing. These look great. Time flies!
Same here I remember 😅!
Looks so damn cheap
Can’t wait to see the new Lexus ES
Great job Redline.
Interior very nicely updated
It looks handsome tbh. I was worried about how it would turn out using the "hammerhead" design cues of the Prius and Crown, but it looks pretty nice.
I was hoping that the TRD trim would continue though...or maybe even a GR trim. If they ever decide to put the Hybrid Max drivetrain from the Crown into the Camry, that'd be a pretty good way to reintroduce the TRD trim in the future.
That would be nice, a proper TRD trim with well over 300hp & over 300 torque.
@@supernova4300 If I'm not mistaken, the Hybrid Max drivetrain for the Crown has a turbocharged 4-cylinder that produces 340HP when paired with the rear electric motor.
Put that into the Camry chassis, then slap on an aggressive exhaust with some aero pieces, and BOOM! You have a fun-to-drive sports sedan that also remains an HEV.
But you know what would be REALLY bold? If they made a GR Camry, with some combination of the hybrid system and the GR-Four drivetrain.
Kind of surprised the 2.4t didn't make an appearance. Wonder if there is going to be a GR Camry with either the turbo or hybrid max powertrain.
More GR models on the way
Please no
Turbo is very problematic
Unfortunately toyota is going downhill with newer models
Very questionable choices of powertrains
Great review! Do you know if the regular ‘25 LE has a regular key and also can you preorder moon roof on those models too?
I have always been thinking about the XSE but I have to be honest I'm loving the new XLE. This redesign/refresh whatever you want to call it imo looks better than the full redesign of the Accord, and this is coming from a previous gen Accord Hybrid owner. My lease is up soon and I'm not wild about Accord these days so maybe I make a switch? I'm very impressed with this. Can't wait to hear the MPG numbers and watch a first drive. I might finally have been swayed from Honda.
Design update is a positive. Love the pano, roof and colors of that XLE. / Ironically, the tail lights are one the few things I dislike about my 2018 Accord
Great review, as always. But the real star, is that shirt. Gwow!
Interesting design language, I do like the interior layout. I agree the taillights reminds me of Honda. At least they're illumination has more coverage. Previous Gen had literal dots as lights. Overall great upgrade.
Previous gen had similar illumination but you had to get the XSE trim.
@@TheCobruhAlienat0r ahhh yes, I do recall that trim having better lighting in the back
Good on Toyota for finally adding a good wide screen for the camry.
Disappointed. I wanted a full redesign not just a refresh/facelift. Looks way too similar to the previous generation and looks way more basic than the new Prius.
My long commutes and definitely live in an area where you get all 4 seasons. Ive been looking for an AWD hybird and now i found it. My current car, i refill every 5 days
Good job!
AWD option across all trims is a huge plus.
Crazy how this gen is still going, thought it would be redesigned by this point lol. Nothing wrong with that either just a bit surprising.
Yeah you’re right, it’s still going because this isn’t new. 😂
Not surprising midsize sedans are losing market share in the US manufacturers aren’t gonna pour millions of dollars in development for a car that’s losing sales
Yeah. Toyota used to redesign the Camry every 5 years. The Camry was redesigned for 1992, it was redesigned for 1997. Then redesigned for 2002, and redesigned for 2007. Then redesigned for 2012. The 2012 XV50 lasted a extra year it lasted until 2017. Then redesigned for 2018. The 8th gen lasted 2 extra years.
9:40 i like the traditional shifter. Not a digital one that returns to the center position and a separate button for park😊
Thanks for all of the reviews from the auto show! Can you please explain what you mean when you call a glovebox lid 'damped'? From my understanding of it, the Camry glovebox lid did not seem to be damped.
I’m surprised they didn’t make a version with a 2.5L turbo-4 option as the higher performance model
They are bringing back the v6 for the trd model
Yeah.That really sucks I'm switching to the Germans
They realised TRD lacked performance.
Just go m340i and don’t look back.
@@Maleniabomthis is incorrect. Toyota has completely discontinued the V6 in the Camry. If there’s a TRD model coming, expect it to have the 2.4L turbo.
@@lennygarrison6836 hmmm I’ve seen that they are gonna continue it. Guess it was a rumor
It was gonna be hard to top that WOW factor the 2018 model brought. While that style did fade over time, it really was such a huge change for the Camry in particular as it told the world that Toyota can make sexy sedans. You no longer needed to go to the other Japanese automakers for that curb appeal. I loved this design language in the new Prius, but I am not really digging the front fascia on this year's Camry. I'll take the XSE front end over the XLE though, much better by comparison. I do like that the side profile seems very similar to last gen. Interior-wise, I really like it. I feel like the '18 model generation came in at just the wrong time when it comes to Toyota interiors, in particular the tech. The refreshes helped but it still lagged in tech by a longshot compared to other vehicles in their lineup. As a 2018 Camry Hybrid XLE owner, I am not too keen to upgrade, but if my car were to get totaled (God Forbid) I would definitely consider this.
Excellent job Sofyan.
you are the only one who explained that the awd vs being on all the models I was afraid that it would be just on the xse because the xse is the most expensive I am happy that it is on all the models the xle xse you are the best dude.
I knew from the teasers this would be just a refresh. They slowed down the trunk opening speed though 😂 mine would launch so hard I thought it would smack the rear glass
Same
you're the 1st one see those new camry nice 🎉
I’m surprised they didn’t make a version with a 2.5L turbo-4 option))
Is ecvt good and easy on pocket on services?
I rented a new RAV4 over the weekend and I couldn't believe how unbelievably noisy it was inside. It sounded like a sunroof was open. Nearly had to shout to have a conversation.
These aren’t the toyotas of yore.
ive been in the new rav4 ,didnt experience that at all
Your sunroof probably was open
Very noisy and unrefined engine as well.
@@ITzBillyBob there wasn't one lol.
This isn't a redesign. It's a refresh
I was cheering as you mentioned all the bells and whistles it comes with, while on the other hand I'm cautious and curious as to how much of a premium they're going to charge. If they price this right it really will sell like hot cakes.
This looks really nice. I'll wait for the '26 though. Currently have a '21.
Looks good but I am definitely keeping my 8th Generation XSE Camry.
Me too. My XSE v6 just increased in value 😁
Looks like a hodgepodge of designs. Nothing flows together. Very weird looking overall.
Nice Update but it reminds me of what they did for the 2012 to 2015 Camry refresh which was a heavy one as well.
Great review. New camry is a perfect family car ❤
Love the new front end design!! 😍
With my 2021 XSE lease coming to an end this upcoming summer, I was really looking forward to seeing the redesign. While I really like what they’ve done inside and out in regard to aesthetics, only having a hybrid option and moving to CVT transmission only, I’m very disappointed. Also, it might be small to most, but ruining symmetry by not having the quad exhaust bothers me. I think I’m just gonna buy out my current lease and keep my 2021 at this point.
It is Ecvt
@@PPaul03. Totally agree with you. Ignorant people do not understand that the Toyota Hybrid eCVT is completely different than a regular CVT.
@packerbacker69 ya, I love my 2023 Toyota Rav4 XSE Hybrid very smooth and very quiet! Save alot of gas is better than fully Evs!
@@PPaul03 . Nice, a Toyota Hybrid is much better than a plug-in.
@@packerbacker69hot take: the eCVT is better than the 8 speed automatic. I have the 8 speed auto and it is… not great 😂
I'm always amused at how many words Sofyan can cram into every minute of video! I love the reviews, but when he's done I'm exhausted.😅
I prefer the XLE's single tone paint and extra luxury features, but otherwise prefer the XSE. We'll have to wait and see what the final packages look like when the car is launched locally late next year
I love the redesign and definitely would prefer this over the new accord, the redesign of the accord is alright but the new Camry is more sharper and I like how they took bits from the Prius and Crown
I guess its time to refer their own joke, *#is that a Prius (#hidden compartment and stuff...) sorry, cant say that without irony
Wow…this makes the Accord look like a luxury car. I was expecting a more upscale look.
BEAUTIFUL!
Do you think power seats will be standard? I like the Ocean Gem one, any predictions how much that will be?
I’m hoping they come out with the TRD trim
Love the interior design of the new Camry 😍🔥
So let me get this straight. They left the side profile exactly the same, took off the legendary V6, replaced the front with Prius like features, and the back with 2018 accord features (which most people disliked).
Yikes
That shirt was fitting for those Camrys.
When the xle looks better than the xse
I wish the design was a little more different than the last generation, but upon looking at it , I Love it ! Way better than the last gen
Would look more balanced on the front if it had some decent fog lights and safety
Something about the front amber daytime running lights messes up the front facia for me, but Camrys are like a Beyoncè album: EVERYWHERE, so you just grow to like it! 🤷♂️😆
Thanks for being one of the only reviews to point out the memory seat availability. Wish it was on the XSE, come on Toyota.
I’m not sure how I feel about this new Camry tbh. Yes, the interior received a major, much needed upgrade, but the exterior leaves MUCH to be desired. Maybe it’ll grow on me, or it’ll look better in the wild.
Neutered engine options like the Accord. V6... you will be missed
Nice refresh, still looks great. A definite buy!
I leased a 24MY after seeing this, there are elements of the 25 I'm not a fan of. Figured I'll wait for a refresh and any bugs to be worked out before jumping on the new. Nice work!
I take back what I said about the Accord. This looks like a rental car compared to the modern look of the Accord.
This looks and feels like a Lexus, compared to the bland Accord.
@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947no thr accords nicer inside and better quality.
@@naveenthemachinesays the only idi0T naveen😂😂😂😂
Damn. Looks worse. Performs worse. No V6. No bueno.
Cushion length increased despite no extended cushion and redesigned seats...finally after 12 years toyota realised...starting from 2012 camry redesign camry's seat comfort lags against competitors..lets see how it will feel in real world
I drive a 2015 Camry with 106,000 miles. Very reliable and probably the right size for most drivers.
Major letdown with the exterior. The accord and the upcoming new sonata will eat the cake.
I was pumped in watching your video on the all new camry but when you said HYBRID AGAIN?😮and the fact that Toyota already has done away with the gas car I am still saying HELL NO!!!
I dont want anything battery!!! Imagine a used hybrid in a dealership?? How many people do we think will buy one used??😅 We are further destroying our environment with lithium batteries in a landfill
Got to vote new lawmakers in that don’t force all this green energy laws forcing manufacturers to build hybrid-only or electric.
@@GeneralSirDouglasMcA
Well hopefully my comment will develop momentum? Because we need MORE people like me to get that done. Agendas are agendas, behind the scenes, who knows?
I am in my 60s on my way out anyway...lol
This thing gets almost as much mpg as the prius lol. Its a great all around car and the best selling mid sized sedan for a reason.
People,
Pour one out for the V6. We're gonna miss that bastion of naturally aspirated smoothness. 😢.
If only it had a V-6....
Cars just seem less appealing too me now, due to designs and specs as of late. As far as new cars I just don't have an excitement for what I want. I don't know what I want anymore.
I know what I want, a new Porsche 911 for sure if I can afford it. Afford it means cash in full, not payments for 7 years.
@jml9550 Oh yes! Can't go wrong with a Porsche. When it comes to that price range, yes, I immediately would know what I want, but I'm not there yet financially. Hell, if Ford would remake a 03-04 Terminator Cobra and just modernize it to up to date standards as far as the interior and safety features, I'd buy it! I don't need an expensive car. I'm a simple guy.
@@tonemack2981 a 2-3YO base 911 with low mileage is around $100k. That is still attainable for us mortals.
@jml9550 Yeah but what about maintaining it.
@@tonemack2981 Simple, set aside $200 a month for maintenance, repair.
Redline Reviews with the scoop. Fresh off the presses
Love the new front end!!!
Sure it’s an upgrade, but I was hoping for something not Crown like and sure enough…that’s what they did. The Prius has a sharper front end compared to this. Def wasn’t a big fan of the lower end Crown engine or the way the hybrid handles. Honda has the handling and hybrid down to a T, even though Toyota’s is more economic. Not a bad car, but I suppose I’ll have to wait till a Toyota looks more appeasing.
You’ll get more bang for your buck with this and people will love the tech and power it provides, versus the new Accord. More stylish for sure, so they won out versus Honda in this regard. Hopefully Honda steps up their game.
I agree. I personally think the Crown is hideous, especially next to the Avalon which it replaces.
@@greg.anywhere Definitely. There are aspects of the design which I don’t mind, such as the SUV like clearance, but it’s just overly heavy. The engine was also extremely loud for the lower trims and their planetary hybrid system just doesn’t seem as EV like, nor as smooth, as Honda’s.
Omg camry hit hard again !
No glossy black pillars for the upper trim models?
I’m glad that they went the hybrid route, instead of the turbo 4 cylinder route like I expected. Nobody does the hybrids like Toyota.
Turbo would have been awesome honestly
*The XLE grille looks more "aggressive" than the XSE, but they both look pretty terrible grillewise. The DRLs look good in color and design. The wheels look good. The rear end is ok, but the previous **#Honda** **#Accord** look isn't great since it didn't look good on the Accord either. Its trunk spoiler looks good and the vehicle's overall profile looks decent. I'm highly disappointed with it having a CVT and no higher end 300hp variant. The interior is good and the gauges look great, but the dashboard looks boring and pretty bad. The steering wheel isn't too bad, but it looks like it belongs on a truck to me. Idk. I'm really torn on this model and I think I'd want the previous model. I had extremely high hopes for this "new" (looks more like a refresh) **#Toyota** **#Camry**, but I think due to that I've been let down much more than I thought I ever would be, so unfortunately I'll be passing on this car. Maybe I'm the only one that feels this way about the redesign and maybe it'll grow on me, BUT I'm pretty mad about it because I was considering it thinking I'd just love everything about it no matter what. Maybe I just need a black one with a red interior. That trash dashboard though...smh.*
It’s the same car !
The reduction of so many car models from seemingly all brands has allowed some to homogenize their design language. The prius used to look very different from a camry, now not anymore.
Looks like I'll be saving money. I love the current interior, it is so sleek.
