FIRST DRIVE: The Camry is getting a new look from Toyota for 2025. This Sedan competes with the Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata, Honda Accord, Chevy Malibu and Kia K5. On the outside you will get new sheet metal, grill, lighting, wheels and two-tone paint. On the inside you will be greeted to the first ever available red interior and new 12.3in infotainment system. Under the hood is the 5th GEN Toyota hybird system which is a 2.5L inline-4 pated with motors. Is the 2025 Toyota Camry XSE a new sport sedan WORTH the PRICE?

Good morning to the whole Raiti’s Rides family! That’s for starting your day off with me! Definitely let me know what you think about the PRICE on the new Camry!
It's good for me.
@@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan269that’s so awesome to hear
Joe, it seems to me that all the pieces are falling perfectly in place for Toyota. They're going for the ruling Japanese Auto brand! This Camry continues this hot streak. 🔥 Reminds me just like back in 2018 redesign.
@@chrisgelo1425I think you are spot on Chris!
Good morning Joe.. I am liking this Toyota Camry xse never owned one but I'll go for the all wheel drive.. good job on the camera Stephen.. shout 😱 out to Lori too.. I'm waiting for the day u speak on the Chevy El Camino & Impala that's supposed to come out.... So what's with the Buick Wildcat... Love the Envista.. but it needs more HP.. anyways have a great day Joe
It's awesome and will get 50 mpg. It'll sell like hot cakes. My parents bought a new Camry in 2002 for $20K. Fast forward 22 years and 200K+ miles, they just sold it for $4K. Good deal! And it still runs like new, very smooth too. They loved it.
It won't 200k miles without replacing the CVT.....
@@mk5rob42 You need to do more research on Toyota's eCVT.
Asians love Toyota. I went for Chinese food today and the employee parking is always full of Toyota only and some Lexus too. Also our nail salon, all Asian drive Toyota. I had a nice Asian woman she told me her name is Katie and the other lady that did my mom’s nails, she said her name is Cindy.
@@MiahVegawe did research but their e-CVT doesn’t have 200k miles because it is too new. Probably will need maintenance.
@@2004cyrus majority of Asians I know drive a Honda.

Toyota did their homework
The Honda is quicker 0 to 60. It also has a roomier interior. I was leaning towards buying the Honda, but this new Camry looks like it might have an advantage in driving dynamics. I prefer the styling of the Honda, but I'd buy the Touring in an AWD if that was an option, so that's a point to the Toyota. A back to back demo when the Toyota hits dealers will sort out this out.
@@kenhiett5266 2TheRedline got a 0-60 in 6.4 seconds. The Honda does it in around 7 seconds.
@@kenhiett5266Lol the Accord is not quicker than this new Camry! Get both of them on a flat surface, and the Camry will be a half second faster 0-60.
@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 Redline was 6.9 going downhill. It clocked in about a second slower when he got to flatter ground. The Honda is about 6.6 rw.

Loving the "new" Camry! Awesome work Joe! You rock! One of the best auto reviewers on KZhead. I truly enjoy your and Micah Muzio's reviews! Keeping it real and relative to us regular people. This Camry is awesome and looks great! They will sell hundreds of thousands of these. I wish the Accord looked a bit more aggressive and stylish like this car.
The V6 XSE and 2.0 accord will be missed 😢….. the looks are growing on me though
Ik the new look on the accord grew on me a lot. Just like this one
Id still buy those older models used then these new ones
@@Gen10civicyea 10th gen accord and even the 10th gen civic look better than the newer models, smh honda 🤦🏻
@@Brian-nn1tfthe designs grew up a bit. I like the new Civics. The old weren’t bad but definitely a bit funky looking.
I owned both the Sport 2.0 and Camry XSE V6. They were pretty fast daily drivers. I missed them.
Hi Joe, I've been following your videos closely since 1 year. I have always been a huge follower of your reviews on cars. The attention to detail, description and the clarity on the vehicles are spot on! Lots of love from India ❤ Most importantly, there isn't much bias in your reviews, and the info is genuine. PS: My sister is planning to move to the USA soon at the end of this year. She's planning to rent or buy a car as well. I will definitely recommend your reviews to my sister. Cheers 👍
I bought an SUV , after about a year I sold it. I just missed sitting lower and being able to hit the corners, after a while SUVs feel big and it makes me miss having a sedan, I like the nimble feeling of a sedan like a Camry
Same thing here. I bought a Volkswagen Tiguan in 2019 and it felt too top heavy in the corners and it was, so I bought a smaller and more agile Mazda CX-5, and it’s better, but I’m going for a sedan in June when I sell the Mazda to my mom. Yep
@@2004cyrusgonna sell your car to your mum? Give it to her free.
@@bggees I’ve offered to give it to her many times but she and my father insist on paying. It’s a 2021 with 20,700 miles. It has a value of $24,600. I told them last week to consider it a gift and a thank you for them paying my medical school loans. They said no they want to pay for it. I said well then I will only ask for $500.00. They still insist on paying me full value. I will take the check and I just won’t cash it. I don’t need or want any money from them.
Toyota is really killing it. This is easily the best Camry ever. I never really wanted a Camry before. I do now.
Their suspension, steering and braking suck
get the old one they look better don't buy this ugly pos
@Sincerely903 well it's a camry. Why are you expecting track performance braking ? From an economy car?
Great. Daily driver and now looks great too.

Joeeee thank youuuu for doing the first drive of this most popular Sedan 🔥🔥🔥
You are so very welcome my friend!
like I said in the past my man keep on the good work stay positive the channel is booming and growing loooove the passion the attention to details and above all the professionalism of all the reviews... keep going wish you all the best and have a nice day (excuse my english french man from Quebec)
I really love your reviews! I have had a 2008, 2011, 2012, and currently a 2020 Camry SE Nightshade! I am never disappointed with a Camry. I didn't want to trade the 2011 because it was my favorite model of the SE, however I really like my '20. I like the 2025 Camry! The mpg is outstanding! I am a loyal Camry guy and I will stay that way with the new generation of Camry! The XSE you reviewed is beautiful! Thanks Raiti!
Absolutely loving this camry especially the colour really makes it stand against the odds thanks joe
I think you are spot on the money.
Been waiting for this!!!
I’m so glad that I can share it with you!
Hey Joe, just FYI you could get red interior in the previous gen XSE😉🤣 great video as always, you make car reviews fun! 2019 Camry SE owner myself and I’m on the fence about the exterior redesign for a few reasons, but really digging the interior!
❤ Thank you, Joe and Steven! ❤️
👏👏GREAT job Joe
Thanks Jarmel for saying that!
I believe the previous generation Camry XSE had red interior as well. It's not a new option. I am digging the new look as well! They definitely did a great job with the front facia.
This is incorrect
I am sorry, Sir. I am talking about the present generation and not the previous. I have seen the present generation Camry with red interior and the same two-tone paint scheme.
@@RaitisRides hey Joe, the guy is right. Current gen comes in red leather interior. White exterior , red interior, XSE trim.
@@RaitisRidesXSE definitely came with the red interior. I’ve seen it in person. White with red interior. I’m sure it was even advertised.
@@RaitisRides You should really double-check before doubling-down. ;) The 8th gen Camry had a red interior option.
Joe, this is a game changer sedan. Fantastic review as always.

Thanks for saying that and having my back.
When I saw the new 2025, I pulled the trigger on a 24 TRD Camry.
Good call on that one!
I’m not sure what to get I have an 08 Camry and I definitely need an upgrade, but those Camry TRDs still look faaaar superior to this new Camry. Gonna start looking around for a used TRD
@@Nightshade1881theres still new ones. Or get an XSE v6
I'm getting a 24 Camry XSE V6 in blue. Hopefully I'll sign papers this weekend.
Trd Camry does not come with a sunroof better off getting the xse v6 or Avalon trd
Thanks for the excellent review! Loved the detail about the subtle design cues on the exterior. One small thing...the Camry wasn't around in the '70s. It launched in 1983. The 5-door fastback (liftback) had amazing space.
I’ve been waiting for this review for a long time. Finally it’s here now it’s time for me to get one!!!
"No more 8 speed, no more V6" Well since i couldnt find a v6 previous gen camry to buy i got a 2020 es350. Cant beat that drivetrain
Glad you were able to find one!
Performance is now ONLY reserved for over-priced luxury brands. Modern day sin tax and mainstream brands are becoming more like appliances. 😢
@@kannermw Well the new Kia K5 GT is a turbo 4cly with almost 300hp. It's also a true automatic
@@muny_man Kia is a poor man's Toyota. Korean disposible cars. Also, if you don't understand difference between eCVT and CVT you wouldn't understand why eCVT is actually superior to all automatic oe CVT transmissions in terms of wear parts. No clutches, bands, belts, valves, oil pump, etc.
@@kannermwyou are right but kias from 2017 on have been pretty damn good. I know quite a few people who drive everywhere with them and have had little to no issue.

Amazing review Joe.
Joee hero master class review especially with the camry 🫡
That’s so really nice of you to say!
What up Joe? The screen integrated into the dash is a score for me! I wasn't a fan that Toyota moved the screen up more when the Camry received a facelift from 2021 - 2024.
Hey Tom! Good call on the infotainment
@@RaitisRides 😁
@@stellantistom6881you’re the best Tom!
Nice job Joe and Co. Good to hear about improved seating in new model, as that was my only complaint about current gen. I guess I'll wait and see how they did, but improved all hybrid efficiency really appeals to fuel saving interests, too, as well as reduced price.
I’ve been waiting for this review. I like the styling, and the price isn’t bad for what you get.
I really like the interior design, exterior however is not really my taste. Not having a V6 option and especially with a transmission choice only being a CVT is a huge letdown. I'll stick to my 2020 Camry XSE V6
the transmission is E-CVT not CVT
@@z1az285 As if that makes it any better?
@@Gangstabob716 Yes, its far superior in reliability, maintenance and efficiency and at a minimum there is no comparison with a CVT. None. don't take my word for it. do your own research and you will see for yourself.
@@Gangstabob716it does and it clearly shows you don’t understand what e-CVT is
@@z1az285 yes it uses electric motor to control the speeds. I'm aware that its used in priuses as well. It still doesnt mean that I'm gonna like the way it drives, you can literally hear the constant drone noises it makes when you see him test driving it. At the end of the day, its still a CVT with no real gears.
"You want to hug a palm tree out here you won't have to.. just put your car in eco mode"😂😂😂😂
Great review!!
I agree to the Zonk on the lack of the drivers seat memory. My wife and I both drive each other’s vehicles and definitely use the memory settings. Good looking vehicle, inside and out and the MPG is very good.
Thanks for sharing your input on that one.
The XLE has the memory seats and mirrors along with the rain sensing wipers. A fully loaded XLE might be the best option for you.
You should have referred to the hot dog as a GLIZZY!!!😂
Good call on that one
The thing nobody ever mentions about 16" rims is you'll get better mpg, lower NVH, less tire wear, and better ride comfort. Large rims creates more problems than it solves. This is coming from someone who used to hop up Civics back in the day. Oh yeah, you also get worse acceleration
I've always hated those low profile tires. So easy to destroy with even small potholes. This car needs regular tires.
Copy and paste on every Camry review lol
I've seen a few reviews of this exact car and I can tell you I only saw a few seconds worth of them because the reviewers didn't cut it. I had to go to your channel to get the real facts with some good entertainment.
Love the vid man! Just want to let you know, the red interior was available in the previous gen!
Previous gen looked a bit more sporty IMO. Biggest zonk for me is previous gen XSE had quad-exhausts. Hopefully they come out with a TRD/GR trim. Interior is a well needed upgrade though. Great vid Joe!
I guess the reason there is no more quad tip exhaust has to do with no more V6
@@RaitisRidesBasically no need for it?
My guess is since the rear is the same as the current generation you could get some quads and apply them from a current bumper onto the 2025
@@truckercowboyed2638 how will that help tho
A 4 cylinder doesn’t need quad tips
man even after tons of videos of your area descriptions/analogies always get a belly laugh out of me... pickles?! lol
That’s so wonderful to hear! I love bringing the cars and the laughs
I was always a Honda kid. have always been a fan of the Accords since my childhood. It was love at first sight and it always had a special place in my heart. Personally, I always like it's styling, ride and handling, comfort, space and performance. The V-TEC Beast is a story for another day. Reliability was never an issue. Sure the Camrys are much more comfier, efficient and reliable, it never had the WOW factor which the Accords had. I also liked the Camrys, but this hit me something different this time around 😍 Yet, fingers crossed until the 2025 Accord will hit the market soon.. Yet, I feel the previous gen was much better and classy with the looks, not sure bout the new one 😑 Also, the V6 is something to be missed 😭
I love this guy good reviews with humor goood buddy
From a design standpoint this blows the new Accord out of the water.
There are aspects that I like on it, especially the upgraded interior.. but the wide front bumper is ugly in my opinion. Still makes the car look like a mom vehicle if that makes sense.
No Thomas Edison light blubs 😂😂 too good bro!! 😂😂
You're right That grill would look massive in other colors except that and maybe black. Really nice to see that fake stick on rear vent below the tail light gone Thanks Joe
Been waiting for this. Definitely my next car
I didn't know that you are a fellow Brooklynite cool!
Yes sir! I’m from Bensonhurst!
Really annoyed there's no V6. They could've at least put in a 2.4 Turbo. That V6 was a real gem.
Fingers crossed that will be added down the road.
This is latest strategy. You want performance they force you into luxury brand at ridiculous prices. No way they put the 2.4L turbo in Camry. They will force you into Lexus brand for $15K more
This new gen was definitely the deciding factor for me. I just purchased a 2024 wind chill pearl TRD. No regrets especially coming out of a 2018 civic si.
I wonder what the Riati pantry game is like. Many mentions of great snacks but he looks more fit everyday! Great job on the review of the Camry. It does looks nice. I’m happy they didn’t go with 21” wheels. The college student version of me circa 1999 would have said, “Dang! 19” wheels on a Camry!?!?”
First time hearing the price go down for a new car that is fantastic news.
This is so very true! I can’t believe they pulled that one off.
@@RaitisRidessame here Joe
$40,000 ($42,000 after taxes) for a Camry is crazy!!
Sometimes people forget that they can lower the price down 😂🤦🏻♂️if you have good credit doe, I tried that on the new Supra it was going for 67,894 and got it for 58,124 and saved 9,770 dollars and that’s a good chunk of money saved now days
@@Geor_546 why would they lower the price on a new vehicle? Let’s not forget interest rates are high now. When was this?
@@redman8767able because no one is buying that specific car model that’s why? and this was three month ago, I basically bought it at its msrp price
Plus dealership fees = $48,000
It’s gonna be more cause it’s hybrid
I always get so hungry watchin' Raiti's Rides. 😂
Great review, looking forward to the AWD XSE review.
I doubt he will post another review with that being the only difference.
Toyota absolutely killing it. Amazing redesign across the board. Land cruiser, GX, LX,Prius 4runner and tacoma all look amazing
I have immense respect for Toyota's engineers, but even though the msrp is great, I could not afford to replace those lithium battery packs.
Not needed for 20 years
Non issue really.
Good morning Joe ! Good job Toyota 👍. Loving the new interior……amazing mpg’s 😳
When a front is as aggressive as this one is, I like for the rear lip spoiler to be a little less wimpy. Love the color and the exhaust.
I'm probably the only guy in his thirties that's had three Camrys and loved them all🎉
Wowwww I love the New Camry it looks even better than the previous generation
They brought some great styling!
The looks are definitely growing on me. That interior is a huge upgrade. Can't wait to see someone upload a night drive!
You are not the only one saying that!

@@RaitisRides That’s great to hear Joe! It’s only up from here. Stay sunny!
I lost interest in the car when you mentioned it was a hybrid and has a cvt. 👎
It will be interesting to see what they will do in the future
CVT is a misnomer here and ultimately the eCVT is the most reliable and efficient transmission for a hybrid. Hybrid max with 6 speed TC may make it into the Camry but you ain't saving much gas with it.
CVT makes you think Nissan. Toyota has perfected this transmission
Well you definitely haven’t driven one lately then I love it and wouldn’t buy a transmissioned one again now Toyota has done wonders with this car and hybrids in general
I’ve been waiting on this video I love this car I had a 2020 Camry XSE that almost made me leave Toyota all together a deer hit me head on in it 10 days after I got it then I waited 11 months on parts to get here to repair it and they still weren’t here and I was like 15,000 some odd number in line to get mine and if it’s already been 11 months I’m completely out of patients here so I ended up giving it back to Toyota since they couldn’t produce parts to fix it with and State Farm was offering to FedEx them to me but still no parts Since I’m now disabled I couldn’t risk having a car that might break down on me on the road so I didn’t see any other options other than giving it back never mind it was the second one I bought that year and I’ve never even been a day late on a payment on any of my Toyota or Scion cars so now unless they reevaluate there policies here I may not ever have another one but if they do I’ll definitely be buying one of these it’s just how can I get to the right person who will listen to me here.
Wow.. I think this is the most beautiful exterior design of the Camry. I really like the front-end design. The interior is also great and I love the red accent inside... Perfect!!!
They have come a long way with the Camry design!
14 Nathan hotdogs and 4 San Diego pretzel a couple of gallons of YooHoo 😮 my wife is going to love this car. A lot of room. Awesome review Joe. Miss the V6 😢.
So glad I got my 2024 Camry XSE V6 before they're gone. It's the last Camry every made as far as I'm concerned. This thing is complete junk from a powertrain perspective. RIP :(
I couldnt get a v6 camry up here in NY, they would sell as soon as they came in. Settled on a 2020 Es350 with 13,000 miles on it. Same engine, same platform as the camry with luxury styling. Best decision i could have made.
@@monky0D0rj congrats on the es. That thing will last you a lifetime. I had the same issue getting the v6 here. It took me 6 years to finally get one since every time I’d see a v6 available, it was already sold as well (I’m in PA). With my lease ending on my 21 XSE with standard 4banger, I stalked the dealership website for a month. Finally check last week and they had two of them. One of which was the exact color configuration I wanted and fully loaded. Called immediately the next morning and they actually still had it. They held it for me until I got there on my lunch to test drive it. Told them I’d be back after work and asked them to hold it. Luckily, they did. Drove it off the lot that night. 6 years in the making and I couldn’t be happier. Especially once I saw they did the unthinkable with this new one only offering the slow, hybrid with CVT which I want absolutely nothing to do with.
Am I the only one who’s disappointed with the new look? I don’t hate it but I like the previous gen so much better! Wish we could’ve gotten the updated interior with the previous gen styling!
No you are definitely not.
Same I love the new interior but like the exterior specially the front of the previous gen more than this one, not that this is bad but just a little more liking for a previous gen

Joe I love this car Toyota should win metals for the changes made to it you can see Lexus is all in on this car now the addition of the a/c seats was huge to me my 2020 Camry XSE also had the red leather seats in it only the cars built in the beginning of the years manufacturing can have it it’s very popular and they sell out of that quickly I can’t wait to hopefully be able to buy another one again here it’s my favorite car I ever owned Thanks camera man you did an outstanding job here as well.

Hey Joe, when are you going to get your hands on a Mazda cx70?
Any news if the memory seat settings can be saved within your driver profile?
How does it compare to the Accord EXL I am considering Camary XLE. Which is easier to get in or out of. I am 66 and very heavy. If both sedans sit low is the one you can try that sits up higher?

Great review Joe! Is it true that this 2025 Camry hybrid has a normal braking feel (like that of a gasoline car) and doesn't have that weird spongy hybrid braking feel?
Hey Raiti, curious question: do you have your own dealership? Great video!
No I sure don’t. Thanks for asking us!
Love the review, but I'll keep my fully loaded XSE V6, the day I got my V6 after traded the I4 in (both are 2018),I swore I'll never get anything less than a v6, smooth as silk, I'll pay a little more for gas no problem.
The food in the car talk is hilarious. Love the review. Does it feel lighter because of the lack of the v6 engine???
Fantastic look at the Camry xse. Thanks. I'm definitely interested in this car. Can't really complain about not having the V6. Kudos to Toyota for letting us know ahead of time. Also still available as of now. So no complaining.
You are so very welcome.
Yes of course Joe and I consider buy this.
