I'm Jacob Yuri we're going for a

play00:16

drive the all new 2025 Toyota caming

play00:19

without launch

play00:27

control not bad it's okay little slow

play00:30

right off the launch though horsepower

play00:32

and torque a combined 225 horsepower and

play00:37

163 lbfe of torque from a 2.5 L

play00:39

4-cylinder with two electric motors this

play00:42

is the same engine for all of the new

play00:45

Camry yes but you do get more horsepower

play00:48

if you get the all-wheel drive version

play00:50

only a total of 232 horsepower but this

play00:53

one is the front- wheeel drive version

play00:54

and the all-wheel drive version is just

play00:56

electric motor at the back not drive

play00:58

shaft with gas motor power to the back

play01:00

yeah so it's just a part-time all-wheel

play01:02

drive system only on demand is what they

play01:04

call it so we haven't actually driven

play01:05

that one so we're only going to talk

play01:06

about this front-wheel drive model that

play01:08

launch was with full traction off so I

play01:10

did not get tire squeal but when I

play01:12

turned the wheel and did a little bit of

play01:13

a launch before I did get a little bit

play01:15

of tire squeal I mean this car is a

play01:16

little slow it's it's not bad though but

play01:18

it's quiet and smooth floor for me and

play01:19

shut your

play01:25

mouth unbelievably quiet especially

play01:28

combined with this ecvt because cvts

play01:31

usually just scream at the top of their

play01:32

lungs especially Toyota ones and yeah

play01:34

Toyota Motors they do have like a

play01:36

harshness to them and this one does not

play01:38

that is the biggest thing that has

play01:40

surprised me about this car so far great

play01:42

great job uh smoothness and quietness

play01:44

Engineers because there is some added

play01:46

soundproofing to this this should be a

play01:48

quieter model than the previous ones and

play01:49

then different from the previous ones we

play01:52

got different headlights and different

play01:54

tail lights and a different Grill and

play01:56

bumpers it's technically all new but

play01:59

they are some shared panels which we

play02:01

believe to be the doors yeah cuz the

play02:03

body line looks pretty much exactly the

play02:04

same as last gen do you like the front

play02:07

end of this more than the last gen and

play02:10

this is the xse so we have a color

play02:13

matched Grill I made sure we got the

play02:14

two-tone with the red interior cuz I

play02:16

feel like that's the coolest spec well

play02:18

let's take a look at the exterior on

play02:19

tsp. truecar.com of the old one and

play02:23

compare it to this lovely new one cuz if

play02:25

you are shopping for one of these hit up

play02:26

tsp. true card.com and see which one is

play02:29

the best for you are you going to go

play02:30

two-tone are you going to go white

play02:33

silver red blue we got a bunch of cool

play02:35

colors and a bunch of Trims and this is

play02:37

one of Toyota's bestselling models as

play02:40

well so these are going to be very

play02:41

popular on the road as every other Camry

play02:44

has been and obviously the main

play02:45

competitor to this is the Accord and we

play02:47

will at some later date probably do a

play02:49

comparison between these two because

play02:50

they're so similar now I mean they

play02:52

always have been but the improvements to

play02:53

this one in terms of like the the

play02:56

quietness of this is massive but let's

play02:58

talk about that exterior again sorry you

play02:59

like these headlights more than the last

play03:02

headlights and do you like that they are

play03:04

pretty much just like the Prius

play03:05

headlights yeah the the crown Hammerhead

play03:07

the Prius face as I like to call it I do

play03:10

like them I don't know if I like it more

play03:11

than the previous gen but it doesn't

play03:13

look bad at all it's like this kind of

play03:15

aggressive is looking thing yeah it

play03:16

looks pretty cool there's a NASCAR

play03:18

updated version of it which looks pretty

play03:19

cool too looks so fast man and then I

play03:22

like the color match Grill on this and

play03:24

since this xse it's got like the uh like

play03:26

it's like diagonals but the XLE will be

play03:28

just lines and then if you get an SE

play03:30

then it's black out instead so the L's

play03:33

to me are luxury and then the s's to me

play03:35

are sporty and then this also has like

play03:36

the canards or whatever at the front I

play03:39

don't think they're Canard what they

play03:40

called they're like just vents they got

play03:42

they got they got no they got the little

play03:44

things that come up around yeah but they

play03:45

don't like stick out like like dive PL

play03:47

no not dive PL there like little things

play03:49

for the sport Canard is a dive PL I

play03:51

don't really know man I know you don't

play03:52

know that's one it's like a weird little

play03:54

thing I forget what they said in the in

play03:56

the paper anyways it does look good uh

play03:58

rear end also looks really good on this

play04:00

one we do have one Muffler with dual

play04:02

tail pipes on it so let's take a listen

play04:04

to the

play04:10

outside it comes out the side I'm like

play04:12

is this actually a real pipe cuz it's

play04:14

like you see silver instead of black

play04:15

through one side hey man whatever it is

play04:17

what it is but the rear end does look

play04:19

pretty good as well they uh took last

play04:20

gen Honda cord tailights they're like

play04:23

Honda cord change the tail lights we can

play04:24

use Lobster Claw finally hey but here's

play04:26

one in front of us like that that's

play04:28

pretty good looking tail lights does

play04:30

that comes off very and then this one

play04:32

has a blacked out Camry thing in the

play04:33

Middle where some of the other ones will

play04:34

have more color matched this is like

play04:36

color match bumpers oh and then these

play04:37

wheels okay so these wheels that we're

play04:40

driving on in this trim are very nice

play04:42

like they're kind of a machine face

play04:44

they're a bigger wheel I think they do

play04:45

look really good yeah they look nice but

play04:48

what would be the Continental

play04:48

recommended tire for a new Toyota Camry

play04:52

well if you got a different trim of this

play04:53

the Continental Pro contact TX is the OE

play04:56

Tire yes and uh it definitely looks

play04:59

nicer on a not black wheel but I don't

play05:01

think you can get that design in not

play05:03

black yeah I just don't like black wheel

play05:05

stuff I know I know but it's still like

play05:06

an aggressive is looking design like I

play05:08

do like all of the wheels that Toyota

play05:10

has on these trims now and first time

play05:12

ever on the Le you don't have hub caps

play05:14

anymore like steelies so you actually

play05:16

have like real alloy wheels but they

play05:17

made those Alloys look as hubcap as

play05:19

possible much sidewall as they could

play05:21

possibly fit they're forcing you up into

play05:23

the upper trims which is fine and then

play05:24

do you like the two-tone I think

play05:25

two-tone is like two-tone with either

play05:28

white or silver and then red interior

play05:30

like we have is like is textbook Camry

play05:34

to to me two-tone Camry are a little

play05:36

extra it's just it doesn't really ever

play05:38

make sense I could see that on the trds

play05:41

which don't exist yet will probably but

play05:43

they don't want to talk about the

play05:44

existence of that vehicle yet I did ask

play05:46

um but the two- toness I I could do

play05:48

without n my my neighbors got a white

play05:50

one two-tone I'm like yeah looks good

play05:51

actually I don't know if it's two-one

play05:52

it's I just like the two tones so enough

play05:55

of the looks let's talk about this

play05:56

engine a little bit more I I find it so

play05:59

SM smooth like for a hybrid I don't

play06:01

notice any transitions between anything

play06:03

happening it just feels like it's all

play06:05

one piece together it's really really

play06:07

nice yeah there is no tack in the gauge

play06:09

cluster though only Power Eco and uh

play06:11

charge yeah but the actual power deliver

play06:13

is really really good it's not like

play06:15

crazy amount and don't expect to be

play06:16

launching this thing or anything like

play06:17

that but when you are just driving

play06:19

around and just floor it like you get

play06:20

the correct amount of power okay how's

play06:23

that handling through these Keenan roads

play06:25

it's actually pretty decent on the SE

play06:27

and on the xse you get the for tune

play06:30

suspension which we have and I'm

play06:31

surprised at how like not crashy it is

play06:34

when you're going over bigger bumps and

play06:35

stuff it is noticeably a little bit uh

play06:38

stiffer than I would expect from a Camry

play06:40

which you wouldn't get on the Le or The

play06:43

XLE very very dable though oh yeah cry

play06:47

yeah I'm just saying they did not screw

play06:49

anything up well here's what they did

play06:50

screw up is the steering the steering

play06:52

feel of it is just if it's very over

play06:55

boosted especially like out on these

play06:56

Canyons like off center it's very dead

play06:58

and then all of a sudden just you're

play07:00

doing you're doing a lot of this instead

play07:02

of like holding an angle yeah and I'm

play07:04

like even with you driving I'm like come

play07:06

on man you shouldn't be correcting this

play07:07

much no it's just you get a lot of over

play07:09

boosting and I'm I'm not used to that so

play07:11

I don't particularly like that I feel

play07:13

like I'm getting moved a lot left and

play07:14

right but I think Camry drivers driving

play07:17

this in parking lots and everyday

play07:18

scenarios will probably enjoy the

play07:20

lightness of it I'm not a Camry driver

play07:23

though yeah so I'm just trying to put

play07:24

myself into their feet or in their shoes

play07:27

I guess that's the expression not in

play07:28

their feet into their if you wear

play07:30

people's uh feet you got some problems

play07:32

so even though we do have this ecbt we

play07:34

do have sport shifting which I can knock

play07:35

this into and then floor it and it

play07:37

doesn't really honestly make a

play07:38

difference at all um and then we do have

play07:40

paddles on this one which also are to me

play07:43

are just downshift paddles CU if I floor

play07:44

right now and upshift I don't have a

play07:46

tack it doesn't even change fake gears

play07:48

so whatever they're they're there for

play07:50

appearance yeah I mean I think you can

play07:52

use it for like slowing down yeah

play07:55

exactly instead of hitting the brakes

play07:56

yeah that's why they're just downshift

play07:57

paddles with uh they could have just

play07:59

giving me one paddle to be

play08:01

honest but let's get you in here to talk

play08:03

about the rest of this interior which

play08:04

has been much improved spoiler alert

play08:07

it's almost perfect it's really good

play08:09

it's really good let me just get my seat

play08:13

preset uh there are none on this one at

play08:16

[Music]

play08:19

least better without a brake

play08:22

boost much better it's very normal car

play08:25

it's under it's under dad fast for Speed

play08:28

yeah that'll be the TRD that'll be diad

play08:30

fast okay uh looking at this interior

play08:34

love the red this leather or whatever it

play08:36

is and like I think it's soft teex

play08:38

what's the what's it called perforations

play08:40

yes all of this stuff looks awesome like

play08:43

it looks fast and it doesn't look like a

play08:44

bad leather it doesn't feel like it just

play08:46

feels nice and then the seats are all

play08:48

red the backs of the seats are red if

play08:49

you're sitting in the back seat it looks

play08:52

cool from everywhere that's right and

play08:53

then sitting up front these seats are

play08:55

very very comfortable like no issues

play08:57

Toyota's made it a point to make these

play08:59

seats even more comfortable and they did

play09:01

do that and then my biggest complaint

play09:03

with the interior of the previous

play09:04

generation at least in terms of Optics

play09:06

was that I was very cocooned in the

play09:08

passenger side because they had this big

play09:09

swooping panel this one is still has a

play09:12

bit of a swoop but it's less swoopy and

play09:13

I don't feel like I'm fully cocooned in

play09:15

here yeah one of the things with the

play09:16

seats though is there's no up down

play09:18

lumbar just forward back I feel like

play09:20

that'd be nice to have it would be and I

play09:22

don't have any of that on the uh

play09:24

passenger side but it is electronically

play09:25

adjustable which is nice okay do you

play09:27

have room behind yourself at 6'1 and

play09:29

half cuz at 5'8 I fit great I do at 6'1

play09:32

and A2 however I still think I have more

play09:34

room in the new Accord do you like this

play09:36

uh big panoramic moon roof kind of thing

play09:39

yeah it's pretty nice I don't know if

play09:39

the last one had I don't think it did

play09:40

but I don't think it was no it wasn't as

play09:42

big either way this is a very nice

play09:44

feature yeah and then okay the thing I

play09:46

want to talk about the most that I'm the

play09:48

most jazzed about go for it okay apple

play09:50

carplay right yes wired Works has

play09:53

Wireless if you want y biggest complaint

play09:55

of old Toyotas was that the bar on the

play09:57

left didn't exist so you couldn't go

play09:59

back to your menu stuff you'd have to

play10:01

swipe click the Toyota button and

play10:02

carplay now if you click these arrows it

play10:04

moves over and it shows it boom problem

play10:06

solved problem Sol Pro possibly the

play10:09

greatest infotainment on the market now

play10:10

if you have a Toyota or Lexus and you

play10:13

see this little arrow thing click on it

play10:14

because I want everyone to know that you

play10:17

can have all your shortcut stuff there

play10:18

on the left now and I think it's genius

play10:20

that they added it as an option so that

play10:22

the people that like full screen carplay

play10:24

can still have it I think they should

play10:26

have done forced so that it's always

play10:28

visible because cuz I'm sure there's

play10:29

going to be somebody out there who

play10:31

doesn't watch The Stray pipes doesn't

play10:32

know what that button does and never use

play10:34

it because of that driver in attention

play10:36

detected Yuri yes cuz we have all the

play10:38

safety Sense 3.0 with all that good

play10:41

stuff that a lot of the other Toyotas

play10:42

that we've driven have we've got Lane

play10:44

centering that worked really well on the

play10:46

highway too yep and then on this one we

play10:48

don't have 360 cameras no we do oh we do

play10:51

we do I make Sor we switched trims in

play10:53

the last minute I make sure we got one

play10:54

with 360 cameras cuz I wanted to know do

play10:56

we have egg mode and do we we have egg

play10:59

mode egg mode is still a feature in the

play11:01

2025 Camry let's see can we see 360

play11:04

cameras while driving I highly doubt

play11:05

that Yuri okay there's no cars behind me

play11:07

let's see if I can what are you going to

play11:09

put it in reverse no you just push this

play11:11

button slow down just dead stop oh yeah

play11:14

oh dude under camera too that's very

play11:16

nice they're very good high quality 360

play11:18

cameras this is like I feel like I'm in

play11:20

a Jaguar Land Rover let's go off-roading

play11:22

Yuri and if you want to know about

play11:24

off-roading watch our Toyota Land

play11:26

Cruiser review as well yes we appreciate

play11:28

you watching our review on embargo day

play11:30

when there is a million other videos

play11:32

going live sorry for your uh YouTube

play11:33

feed there's a lot of uh great YouTubers

play11:35

here so thank you for choosing our video

play11:37

it was so fun seeing everyone all the

play11:39

gang so that this is a really fun trip

play11:41

thank you for uh flying us out toota

play11:44

okay so one thing that I do have to

play11:45

complain about with his interior Yuri

play11:47

please keep looking looking for I was

play11:48

looking maybe the sun's in your eyes the

play11:50

footage one thing that I do

play11:54

[Music]

play11:57

have so it has this kind of uh panel

play12:01

that looks like an XLE Grill to me but

play12:04

when you move the vent it doesn't align

play12:06

anymore exactly and to me like I'm not

play12:09

OCD but an OCD person would probably

play12:11

lose their mind over there yeah I I I

play12:13

could see that being a thing okay um we

play12:14

also have hard button climate stuff

play12:16

below that which is so much better than

play12:18

like the and like lexus's thank you

play12:21

Toyota then we have he didn't cool seats

play12:24

as well hard buttons that's stuff like I

play12:26

think they nailed the infotainment they

play12:27

did and then this also connect so you

play12:29

can have like the app that does remote

play12:30

start and lots of subscriptions so that

play12:32

part's a little bit red flaggy to me

play12:34

yeah but like that's the world we live

play12:35

in if you don't like it go to tsp.

play12:37

truecar.com and buy a 10-year-old Camry

play12:39

exactly and then we do have a wireless

play12:40

charger down here we have a place to put

play12:42

your phone and then our cup holders uh

play12:44

total pass with some Red Bulls in them

play12:46

yeah and I think it would feel small

play12:47

coffee absolutely fine yep and then we

play12:49

do have some Drive modes and we do have

play12:51

the top trim so we do have a full

play12:53

digital display so when you change

play12:54

between the drive modes you get like a

play12:55

really cool animation yeah and then you

play12:57

can change the meter modes change what's

play12:58

in the little pods it it's a little

play13:00

confusing to do while driving I would do

play13:02

that while you're parked yep but it does

play13:05

have a lot of good information but I

play13:06

would like to see aack yes then on the

play13:08

steering wheel we can control our uh

play13:12

radio stations with the right volume on

play13:14

the left and then check this

play13:15

out play Sirius XM channel 9 oh we still

play13:19

have reception should should work tuning

play13:21

to Sirius XM channel 9 worked yo look

play13:25

outside holy crap look at that is that

play13:28

like a waterfall like a man-made one

play13:30

yeah I guess so so we can do that what

play13:32

which is what a BMW cannot so plus

play13:35

against the German luxc cars and like

play13:37

okay handling besides the steering may

play13:39

not feeling like the best it handles

play13:41

well it would have been probably even

play13:43

better on the Continental tires that

play13:45

were currently not on oh for sure what

play13:47

was that review that we were flying

play13:48

through uh the Kia the whatever it's

play13:51

called oh and then nice armrest with a

play13:52

ton of room yeah and then I'm sure

play13:54

people care about fuel economy cuz this

play13:56

is a hybrid and you cannot get a not

play13:58

hybrid in the new Camry they're all 100%

play14:00

hybrids so you can get as poor as 44 m

play14:05

per gallon combined which is still

play14:06

really really good that's in the xse

play14:08

all-wheel drive and then you can get 51

play14:10

m per gallon in the Le front-wheel drive

play14:12

so that's really really good what would

play14:13

you take all-wheel drive or front wheeel

play14:15

drive I mean front wheeel drive I think

play14:17

probably front wheeel drive I'm happy

play14:18

with front-wheel drive yeah I don't need

play14:19

all-wheel drive no in the in the winter

play14:21

get yourself a pro proper set of Viking

play14:23

contact sevens winter tires Continentals

play14:25

and you'll be fine and this is built in

play14:28

America where we currently are well it's

play14:30

not built in San Diego but it's built in

play14:32

America America it's pretty big yes okay

play14:34

uh visor test oh okay so this is a

play14:37

pre-production vehicle with a

play14:39

pre-production visor test three two one

play14:42

fail huge fail and the little panel

play14:44

panel yeah which I think we complained

play14:46

about in our very first Camry review

play14:48

like seven years ago yeah so we're going

play14:50

to have to wait for another six years we

play14:52

will bother them the last one has been

play14:54

out forever though oh so that means we

play14:56

should Photoshop this to look like a

play14:57

Beck Taxi which is is our orange and

play15:00

green taxis in Toronto okay cuz they are

play15:02

going to be littered with this thing all

play15:04

the time in Toronto soon yeah probably

play15:06

and then trunk room we didn't talk about

play15:08

trunk room or Towing yeah so no there

play15:11

isn't uh trunk space fits both of our

play15:13

carry-ons no problem obviously you can

play15:14

drop the seats down from the trunk trunk

play15:16

and then the button to open the trunk is

play15:18

on the far right we got that cool little

play15:20

uh spoiler there that's nice yeah yeah I

play15:22

didn't noticed that until last second

play15:24

but it's nice on the xse so then is

play15:26

there anything about this that you like

play15:28

more than the Accord I think I like that

play15:30

I like a lot about this more I I want to

play15:32

know what it is I like that this has

play15:34

sirusxm which the Accord did not but

play15:37

that had Google Maps in your gauge

play15:39

cluster which this does not the biggest

play15:41

thing that I like about this over the

play15:43

Accord is the general looks because the

play15:45

Accord is very just generic this

play15:48

actually looks nice yeah and it's cool

play15:50

with like the corporate branding where

play15:52

everything looks kind of like the crown

play15:52

like I don't know if I'm too jazzed on

play15:54

full corporate branding but it does look

play15:56

good yeah I mean it's okay for like the

play15:58

the Prius the hry the Corolla like fine

play16:00

as long as the Supra yes exactly and the

play16:03

Tacoma which are different and the Land

play16:04

Cruiser so they are doing different

play16:06

things and the 4Runner as well we

play16:09

haven't seen it yet as of this filming

play16:11

right now but the video is already out

play16:14

so with all that out of the way I think

play16:15

it's time we get to the price it starts

play16:18

at

play16:20

$28,400 American and this XS front-wheel

play16:23

drive that we're driving is

play16:25

$39,600

play16:27

American which again very good price

play16:30

yeah considering it's a hybrid good

play16:31

mileage I'm very excited to get this up

play16:34

against the Accord at cliche corner and

play16:36

really like see the differences like up

play16:38

front and center how much room there is

play16:40

in the back seats and everything with

play16:41

child seats so subscribe if you want to

play16:43

see that coming because is for sure

play16:46

going to happen on the straight pipes

play16:47

and we do have more Toyota reviews

play16:49

coming so definitely subscribe so that

play16:51

you don't miss any of those good job

play16:53

Toyota team you didn't screw it up no

play16:55

actually you made it much better yeah I

play16:57

love this infot now it's perfect

play17:04
