2025 Toyota Camry | The Forever Car Done Right

We do a first drive review on the new 2025 Toyota Camry. While on the surface, this may seem like an evolution, we discuss the changes to the car. While the V6 is gone, changes to the hybrid system and handling make this one of the most interesting Camrys. Which would you choose? The Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, or Nissan Altima?

7:25 this is not something you should be singing about. Toyota is known for its reliability, not for being a money pit.

“A great experience for someone who just wants a car that’s functional as an appliance but also doesn’t feel like a total shit box”. Send that to the marketing department.

For all the Camry complaints, I appreciate your continued honesty on the experience. As a middle income home owner, I need a car to perform all the roles. Commuting, shopping, family, errands, road trips, and just occasionally a fun detour. Thank you for risking the mundane.

The screen being integrated into the dashboard makes me unbelievably happy. It looks so much better than an iPad glued on top of the dashboard

In a sea of SUVS we're now at a point where sedans like Camry bring back some notion of composed handling, overall value and no gimmicks.
Good luck everybody. 😂

I must be getting old because this looks great to me. ("Great" now means "a smart way to spend your money.")

Toyota was serious when they said "no more boring cars" and I'm a here for it

My parents bought a new Camry in 2002 for $20K. Fast forward 22 years and 200K+ miles, they just sold it for $4000. Good deal! And it still drives like new too; nothing ever went wrong. They loved it.

The thing nobody ever mentions about 16" rims is you'll get better mpg, lower NVH, less tire wear, and better ride comfort. Large rims creates more problems than it solves. This is coming from someone who used to hop up Civics back in the day. Oh yeah, you also get worse acceleration.

I'm glad "bigger" sedans are still a priority at Toyota and Honda, wish Mazda would get back in the game with a dope 6.

I sold Toyota cars in 1994 when they made a Camry station wagon. Toyota never gave us enough of those. As soon as one came on the lot it sold. They discontinued that model because of poor sales. Those low numbers were their doing. Would love to another Camry wagon.

Glad to see an actual car (not an SUV), that is affordable, and well thought-out without all of the current car tropes. Interior and ergonomics in particular address pretty much all of my complaints with today's cars. I hope they sell a ton of them and that other carmakers learn something from it and follow suit.

I am the Camry man.

Cars owned: Camry, Avalon, Yaris, Camry, and the last Avalon.

As Scotty Kilmer always says, a reliable car is never boring.

[MeltingRubberZ]

32k for that car isn't bad. Tough to not get a car like this as a commuter that also is used as a family car.

Everyone has a Camry story. Amazing car.

[FamousWithoutBrad]

I usually write jokes or bullshit in the comment section but the Camry is such a reliable car.

My parents have an 05 Camry SE, with 446, 000 miles.

That car is insanely reliable and although it’s not a hybrid, Camrys are a great choice.

Also, TuxMat is my new Dad

Toyota is my favourite brand now. I mean look at their line up, they have a bit of everything. The Supra and GR86 are proper sports cars. If you like off roading, their TRD Pro models are very competent. And for the normal folks that just wants a car that works and is functional, they have that as well. They don’t fall too much into the gimmicky stuff and over style designs, while offering great tech and cohesive looking cars.

Well done, Toyota.
Well done, Jack & Dr. Goose.

I love that the Camry keeps a low belt-line with big open windows for visibility.
Completely debunks the myth that new cars need high belt-lines and tiny windows for safety. It's done because less glass is cheaper.
