Even though the sedan market is slowly dying out, Toyota keeps on killing it!

The grill being a different color from the body makes such a big difference! I think this looks really nice compared to the trim you first reviewed with the white body and white grill. Great showcase as always!

[jacksquat]

The Camry is just such a handsome car for what is basically an ‘appliance’ car. 😮‍💨

[brownmutthid]

Thank you for being one of the very few that reviews the mid spec vehicles! To me, these trims, represent the best value of any model.

Great review. This will truly be a poor man's Lexus. This XLE trim has fantastic materials inside and looks sooo much better than the car it replaces. I, and some other folks will miss the Camry TRD's passing with its solid V-6 and enhanced handling/exhaust. All Camrys are now Hybrid with this current generation, so those of you shopping the Prius may find this to be worth the extra money. I have sat in a new Prius and can tell you that this car has suffered from some penalties in interior room and comfort. I am not tall and bumped my head getting into one. If you want a new mid-sized sedan, this is probably the smartest purchase you could make.

Great review, Joe…and this redesign is a winner…love it!
And Laurie always does a fabulous job with the videos!

Joe, the Toyota Camry is the apostle to the Sedans & I love the way it looks. Even though pricing hasn't been set in stomr as of this filming of the video I feel that this is a Mercedes-benz but much much cheeper & more reliable.

I'm a Honda Accord fan, but have to admit that Toyota is eating Honda's lunch on styling, AWD, panoramic sunroof, and horsepower. I would have to test drive one, though, to see if Toyota's are still a little boring on the road compared to Honda's driver's car feel.

[JohnFKennedy]

This is getting me so excited for this Camry. I have never bought a new car, this is going to be my first. I’m going to have this thing for decades!!

[vincechan]

This model Camry is a winner. The only one downside is tail light is not look as good as 2024 model tail light. Love the awd 230ish HP.

[brokeboy]

Out of all the mid-sized cars, this might be the best-looking one out of the bunch.

[davisouedraogo]

This new Camry XLE looks awesome, I have a 13 Camry XLE, and I love it, I do hope to get this newer one someday.

[hellowill]

Idc what others think, this looks way better (especially the interior which most people agree on).
It just looks more clean and modern.

[davidwolf]

This updated body style is so attractive, especially knowing it's the XLE trim. Since the Lexus ES is also based on the same chassis, I can't help but wonder what changes may be in store for the Lexus ES in 2025.

[davidp]

The XLE trim has been so difficult to find. A very underrated package.

[integral]

Thanks for sharing this Raiti! I have been looking at the Camry and I'm glad to see a more in-depth look at the XLE trim.

[darrengodbee]

I love it Joe it’s the best one they’ve ever made yet can’t wait for the drive and the XSE version and the pricing as well great video once again thank you Joe love that color combo on this Camry XLE thank you Laurie you always do such a great job on the camera

It's a nice sedan however I don't personally like the cloth like material on the dashboard mainly because it will get dirty in the long term and will be very difficult to clean.

[armandsant]

The quilted sides should have been a charcoal grey to complement the decor I see those areas getting dirty often
