2025 Toyota Camry XLE Review - The Perfect Sedan DOES Exist

The 2025 Toyota Camry XLE is one of four trims for quite possibly the best sedan you can buy today. Should Honda be concerned? We'll find out.

Huge thank you to AutoFair Toyota in Tewksbury, MA for providing this 2025 Toyota Camry for this review.

XLE trim with all options is my preference. Looking to buy soon. I have 2009 Corolla with 303k miles now. Still runs great, but guess I am going to go for this. I buy only every 15+ years and always Toyota. At 64 yrs of age this will be my last car. Gonna splurge this time, I deserve it!

I have the 2025 Camry LE. The ride is a lot more tied down than my wife's 2013 Camry LE. It corners well with very little body lean. The transition from ICE to battery are seamless in my experience and there is more than enough pickup.

Nice look at the *all new Camry. I picked up a loaded SE. Even got 10% off. No BS games from the dealership. They were under new ownership. Maybe for a reason. IDK. I've had it just over three months and just over 2000 miles on it. So far I think its one of the better offerings overall. The Accord may have a slightly better cabin and smoother ride. But they want too much for it and really didn't act like they wanted to sell one.

Bought mine a month ago. Midnight black. I'm not used to a car saying sit up or look ahead when taking your eyes off the road for even a second or 2. Overall, it has been a real comfortable turnpike cruiser. I do love the Adaptive Cruise set up. I've generally kept it in ECO mode (mostly for economy) but I think I'll try the sport mode for our foliage trip tomorrow (10/6) & see how it does & how it affects the gas milage overall.

Hey it’s my car. I just bought one. It’s good overall with some small complaints like to stupid panoramic sunroof that sounds like it’s going to break and the annoying heads up display that I leave turned off

I don’t understand how people who review cars can be so wrong about simple mechanical components. The “CVT“ in any hybrid Camry is not a traditional CVT that auto reviewers have always loved to bitch about. It is not even a real transmission in the understood sense of the word. There is absolutely no possibility for a rubber band effect because it is not a transmission.
Furthermore, some traditional CVT’s are excellent. The CVT is made by Honda are sporty and smooth and reliable.

Great review & this could be my first daily car.

[boedilllard]

Hate the partial cloth seats - did they save $20 per camry doing that?

[jorgeblanco]

Do you know if Toyota addressed the rattle noises coming from the rear panel that houses the sub wolfer?

Great review and I'm am really like this sedan.

4:28 19 inch wheels
$1, 500 extra , and usually comes with the premium + package $4, 760
so over 44k

Incrementally it might be quieter, but think some of that is due to the tires. Not many manufacturers put decent tires on new cars from my experience. I think a nice set of Michelin or Pirelli would make a difference. I believe the Accord uses sound cancellation where as the Camry uses sound deadening front and front side glass to reduce noise. Overall I am satisfied with the noise levels. As far as the regen systems Toyota’s is different from Honda’s in that in the Toyota the engine runs first with the battery backing it as needed. The Honda works exactly the opposite. The transition between the gas and battery in the Toyota is pretty much seamless. Plus the Toyota just feels so much faster than the Honda even though the numbers are almost identical.

Currently cross shopping the 2025 Legacy Premium with option package 13 and the 2025 Camry LE with convenience and cold weather pack. Legacy is 2k below invoice and Camry is at invoice. Which one would you rather have? I know you just did a review on a 2025 Legacy premium so I just want to know what your thoughts are. Thanks!

It seems to be a great daily driver with great value. Now, are Toyota dealers still tacking on a "market adjustment fee" that drives up the cost over the sticker price? Great review.

[adrienchan]

Yes i want the one like this one and w out the accessories wheels, want QP pkg, dont known when it come out

[DaWok]

What is that white, grid-like material that is on the dashboard and front doors? Ive never seen that before

[jvlad]

I would use the 16" tires and wheels from the LE to this XLE for best road imperfection adaptability and improved overall NVH too.

[jgriffin]

I disagree on the microfiber material, pretty close to a deal breaker. It looks & feels cheap.

Do you think is a better buy than Honda Civic touring hybrid 2025?
