How'd They Pull This Off? // 2025 Toyota Camry XSE Review

You'd think ditching the 2GR V6 in favor of a hybrid 4 cylinder would ruin the Camry XSE.. but it's not what you'd expect. This new Camry is absolutely still a performance oriented sedan with a reasonable price!

“Just make cars more affordable and people will start buying them”. This fact escapes the auto manufacturers brain trust and yet here is our Sarah stating fact…..

[ZZZZ-mkv]

It's wild to think the world is so flooded with boring crossovers that now even a Camry looks and feels sporty.

Toyota’s ECVT is a masterwork of engineering, using all gears and no troublesome belt.

I wish Toyota never quit making the Camry wagon. That would be near perfection.

[josephpanozzo]

It’s nice to see Toyota still making sedans. Not everyone wants a crossover-basically a plastic cladded station wagon on tippy toes.

Long time camry owner. 2011, 2014, 2017, 2019. They were all great. Never had a single issue and no complaints.
This one is fantastic.

"Turbulence fish ribulators" and "Tuco Salamaca tight." Some fresh word candy to unleash upon the unsuspecting. Thanks Sarah!

Thank you, Toyota, for not messing with fake gear shifts, just a steady stream of power how it should be.

I have a 2018 Camry XSE hybrid and I love it. Comfortable for long trips and very economical. Last summer my wife and I drove from Reno Nevada to Green Bay Wisconsin and back with lots of side trips along the way. Total distance was 6800 miles and we used 145 gallons of gas while driving slightly above the speed limits all the way. Climbed the Rockies with no sweat. Everything worked as it is supposed to and did not use one drop of oil. These are great cars.

Thanks @ToyotaUSA for letting our fav car reviewer have a go at this preproduction 🎉😊

[douglasboyle]

That interior is impressive, there aren't a lot of manufacturers doing anything besides black/grey/tan these days.

[letzgow]

Toyota has the best infotainment center with the needed traditional buttons and knobs. All manufacturers need to follow suite.

Pre-production?! Sarah you're moving up in the world! :D
Also, holy shit that is THE fastest voice recognition I have ever seen in my life.

FINALLY, a reviewer calls out the MK3 Supra vibes on the front end. Thank you!

[oldmanhare]

Probably the best car reviewer who selects appropriate outfits for each review. ❤❤

[tomdrummy]

Nice job Toyota 👍. Awesome job Sarah !!! 👍👍

Most people don't need AWD. It just adds more cost, complexity & eventual repair problems to a vehicle. Even in snow country, having the proper tires is a lot more useful & important than having AWD, especially on a regular sedan/hatch.

I had a brand-new Camry for a rental car when I was traveling last week. It was so new it didn't even have plates yet. It was an excellent car; I was thoroughly impressed. Fuel economy was amazing and it was remarkably zippy too.

The Camry has always been a great car, but this 2025 model is exceptional. I've seen them at the dealership, and they are awesome! These are Lexus like.
