"2020 Toyota Camry 2,5-l-VVT-i Hybrid Executive Auto" POV Test Drive & Review - TheGetawayer 

Finally a car reviewer mentioned a comfortable driving, as most of other revierwers focus on how fast the car is, 0 to 60 which as normal car drivers rarely we benefit from this measure.definittly worth a subscribe.

Great review! As a former automotive journalist, I completely agree with what you say about dynamics: at car magazines, we often forgot that not everyone is a race-car driver. As long as it isn't wobbly and unstable, a simple, comfortable car is a very pleasant experience. It's lovely sometimes to drive a car that lowers your heart-rate and makes journeys easy and soothing. And yes! An old-school Mercedes feel is something I've missed for a long time. Mercedes used to make cars that were comfortable, simple to understand and would last forever; what do they make now? This is the modern equivalent of a Mercedes W124, a car that is smart without being flashy, hugely comfortable, and you can pass it on to your grandchildren. We keep going on about the best and latest and jazziest and getting a new iPhone every year, but in a world of increasing waste, a car like this a welcome return to common sense.

nice clean car ,no egr,no pdf,no adblue no diesel rattle....this is a modern powertrain not a fakin "gesture control"! I don't understand why in Europe we have this mentality of tractors farmers but we consider cdi, tdi, luxury cars ! A+ for Toyota.

Toyota makes great cars. Worry free driving, comfortable and the best ergonomics.

I agree with all you say. I have owned a UK spec Camry 2020 for the last 4 years and still love it so much. It is indeed a relaxing car to drive but when you want to put your foot down and put it into Sport it will move very fast. The seat is so supportive and never gives me any back pain even sfter a 3 hour journey. Great video.

Hybrids are comfortable and very addictive to drive, it’s the calmness and serenity of the drive. I drive a Lexus is300h and as you say in the video, maybe people need to take a step back and enjoy old fashion comfort, and relaxation more!, and forget about 0-60 times. I enjoyed your video and was very happy you were pleasantly surprised as I was when I bought my Lexus hybrid.

I agree. Everybody is about the numbers on papers these days. While for most driving is an overall feeling. I kind of understand this Camry. I drive Lex GS250. Now 8 years old. Brilliantly made car, no issues at all, the car is perfectly insulated, silent and that little V6 gives you enough power, but more importantly sound and smoothness.

Very true! I own a Benz w205 220d . The luxury feel is something u like 90 percent of the time . Sporty driving is only the 10percent. I love the car that can combine the 2 perfectly

Let your enthusiasm for the car guide you as to which video style. Information is present in both styles. Keep up the good work!

Thank you - Great review. I’m closely considering purchasing the ‘new’ as yet to be released 2021 Camry Hybrid after 6 years / 230000 kms of Landrover Discovery 4 ownership. Your comments about what easy relaxing calming drive it provides really strikes home with me. The RAV 4 Hybrid similar but not so much. Please keep these great reviews coming.

I purchased a Jdm import 2020 Camry Shipped it to the U.K. red leathers and the Super rare TRD body kit Only one in the U.K. !!

I love the sound of your accent!!! 😁

At last someone who thinks like I do, chill out man.

I would buy it. Atm no as I don't need it rn but it future yes. Basically I would like more technologicaly advanced headlights, nicer looking rear lights and I'm fine with the rest. Seating position, I heard this before, a lot of German people prefer lower seating position. For a daily driver and not so good roads I 100% prefer higher one and off course more comfortable ride as cars today became too stiff imo. Imagine 6,5l per 100km without taxes (in my country hybrids don't have them), clutch, all the additional filters and sensors on diesels etc.

Looks a very under-rated car which most people ignore, i would really like it if it had a decent enhanced sound system like Lexus, but we cannot have everything we want i guess.

Here in Canada they are also mainly taxi/Uber. But the base 4cyl is the most common option. The v6 i hear is really nice especially since the Honda Accord no longer does v6 and instead use a 4cyl turbo (detuned type-r). I have driven the 2.0L accord. Not quite amused with the power delivery. Turbo lag is evident and still doesn't compare to that feeling of a n/a v6

i was in uae and camry is famous there in commercial vehicle segment

Awesome review

BMW gave Toyota the z4 so they could have a new Supra, and threw in some old F10 5series steering wheels for the Camry... /s Nice review, Guido. As usual.

The Camry is no doubt a good car and very popular in the US. I've never driven one but it's interesting that you said it can be comparable to a lower spec Mercedes. For a daily, I think I would pick the Mercedes just because the brand is considered higher class than Toyota haha

More non German brands sounds very interesting as I would like to learn more about them, dont like the POV too much which is mainly because you are too tall for where the camera sits. Anyways, left you the comment for the algos and hope you’ll get more views.

Do you know where its produced ? Which country? Also, would be nice to see a Corolla Hybrid review.

German journalist reviewing Japanese cars in Germany, this might actually catch on 🤩👌

interesting mix up for the channel

I thought the Camry was too short and I'm not even 6 feet tall. I participated in Car and Driver's editor for the day event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2012. We were testing 5 - 2013 sedans. The updated Ford Fusion was just released to the market that week. It was up against Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and the Nissan Altima. This was a month after I bought a previous year new Accord. The Accord held out very well against the competition. Now in 2020 looking back at the 2013s, exterior styling still holds up well for all cars except the Hyundai and Camry. My seat was all the way back and my hair would brush the roof of the Camry. My head was tilted to sit in the backseat. The Altima had the most comfortable seats but lacked technology. The fusion was leaving tech as well. But the Accord had less comfortable seats but felt overall more of a premium car. I cross shopped the MB C300 and didn't see where the extra money was going to in the C Class. The 2013 C Class is a fantastic car but waa not worth the money to me. Looking at today, the Camry is a good looking car inside and out. But they aren't making them for taller adults. The new Accord Hybrid Touring is an incredibly premium feeling car. I still have a hard time choosing a C Class over the Accord, however the 4-Matic is wonderful in Michigan. I have a 2016 Dodge Charger Pursuit that is a retired North Carolina State Highway Patrol car. It has a 5.7L V-8 mounted to a Mercedes Benz 5-speed automatic transmission and all wheel drive. The all wheel drive is rudimentary, the interior is very basic (after all it's a police car), but the ride is very smooth, it has good performance, the engine and exhaust makes a good noise, it's very quiet inside the cabin, and it's very comfortable to sit in for over 8 hours, like an office chair. I think electric and autonomous will have the advantage in luxury and commuter vehicles, whereas a mechanical gasoline car will win still prevail for those who love driving. Although the new generation experience a different paradigm which they tend to favor autonomous electrics.

Hi Guido, den Camry finde ich nicht sehr spannend, nur kurzes Feedback zu POV: gerne beibehalten. Ich finde diese eher spontanen Videos ohne viel Aufwand sehr erfrischend.

Even over here in the US that's a big car. Having said that, everything has become bloated over the last 15 years. The BMW 3 series is now the size which had been the 5 series, the 5 series is the size which had been the 7 series, and the 7 series is as big as the moon. It's a bit sad. Also, cars are so expensive over there. In the US that's a $34,000 car all day long. Maybe consider doing a combination of POV and another camera on a window mount.

Do you remember if the base sound system is decent? I will be getting the non jbl version but I wish it could be at least decent with the 6 speakers

can you please also test the RAV4 ?

Guten Abend! Weiß Du, welche Farbe das genau war beim Camry? Platinum weiß metallic? Oder weiß? Bin am Platinum interessiert und müsste die Farbe wirklich mal sehen. ☺️

I like you man. ✌👌

Why the hell does this have fog lights and the US version doesn't.. Also it doesn't surprise me it doesn't sell as well in your territory. I bet a Camry wagon would do the trick.

Hi! Gibt es irgendwelche Neuigkeiten bzgl. apple carplay oder android auto update für den Camry in DE/Ö? Das standard Navigationssystem find ich schrecklich

Use a tripod to your camera please.

You have to drive 2020 sonata hybrid.

Hi Guido! Not a fan of the POV editing, I think that a fixed camera on the driver side works best. Older videos seem more professionally edited compared to this format, but that's my humble opinion! Hope that after this covid-19 BS you return to the old format. Regarding the car, it's an overpriced POS, bought by stubborn people that have no idea how good other brands have become. You have to test drive a Mazda, Kia or a Hyundai to feel how much of a "so-so" experience it is to drive a Toyota. They aren't particularly well built or that robust in direct comparison, look strangely dated in certain details, interior design is like it's trying too hard to make it feel like a lower priced Lexus, but with Lego like flimsy plastics with no care about texturing just vast areas of piano finished black plastic (I cringed when you knocked on the center console's infotainment system...). It's like Toyota isn't watching what it's most direct asian rivals are doing, it's borderline ridiculous!

This or the Rav4?

POV and a Camry... Please go back to and continue your traditional good work Sir :-)

Luxury Line in germany? Really?? 😲

Passat and Skoda come no where near a Camry

Don’t know if he did this vehicle justice

I would never buy this car having European brands

It will last forever, but why would you want it to? So forgettable
