The 2025 Camry is poised to be the best selling hybrid in America, and thanks to every model getting at least 44 MPG combined, it's also going to be one of the easiest on your wallet. Yep, for 2025 Toyota has not only ditched the optional V6 engine, but they also killed off the 2.5L non-hybrid base model. Unfortunately that does mean that the base price is up nearly $2,000, but hybrid vs hybrid the 2025 is actually a hair less expensive than before. You can also get AWD on your hybrid Camry now, and it'll be available on every trim including the base models. The price bump may offend some folks, but the payback timeline vs the old base engine should be under 3 years for most folks AND the hybrid should have lower long term repair and maintenance costs.

    The downside of the Camry is that it will never break and you'll never have an excuse to buy a new car.
  • @jwilder2251
    Best car review I’ve ever seen — you talked NONSTOP for 30 minutes without an ounce of filler, cliches, stammering, or BS. Just pure information
  • @Mamo878
    When a press embargo lifts on a new hybrid Alex is the first to watch of the many videos that come out. He really knows his stuff on the many different hybrid drivetrains that are out there.
  • @davidjones3520
    I find the integration of the screen far preferable to the upright tablet view that always looks like an afterthought. Great review as usual, Alex and many thanks !
  • @alwaysiyi272
    AWD, 44+ mpg, while being 0.5 secs slower than the old V6 is very impressive. No other midsize sedan offers that combo and I absolutely love this doesn’t, much better than the otherwise boring accord if you ask me
  • @sunking2001
    Toyota...the only car manufacturer who "has their shit together!"
  • @Luma_29
    Dare I say this thing is probably the best sedan ever created all things considered. This thing is going to last FOREVER and save you SO MUCH on gas.
  • @SFzip
    The Prius remains relevant due to its significantly tighter turning radius and compact size, which are ideal for city parking.
  • @jaigopaul8772
    Toyota did a good job on the new camry. I like it, and the hybrid system is really good for saving gas.
  • @correya.lettsome4702
    I'll be honest I don't watch your videos all the time, but I will say your delivery of the information always comes across as honest, objective, and genuine.
  • @mrgurulittle7000
    This is definitely a home run with the hammerhead lights and sleek interior. And it’s superior than anything else on the market in an engineering perspective.

    I bought a new 2020 Camry LE hybrid because of the Lithium battery in that model. It was ranted at 50-51 mpg. I set the mpg calculator when I left the dealership and never reset it. I have driven it 75,000 miles w/ 90% of those miles in the highway. The overall for 75k is 48.1! I am totally delighted. Next car will be another one only with AWD.
  • @martinbroenkow4497
    Thank you so much for showing the not top of the line model! Super comprehensive review all around!
  • @henrybrar
    Went to the build page on Toyota's website and there is a Red and black color option with red interiors. Damn that thing looks so hot. RIP Accord.

    Old school Alex in the trunk! Glad you brought it back.
