Dude, the new 2025 Camry Hybrid is the one people conscious about money and families with kids need! I absolutely love it! Best bang for the buck! I went down drom $300-400/ month in gas to $ 30-40/ month with the new FWD XLE!! Is also luxurious, smooth, feels like I am driving an 80k Lexus. Best investment for me and my family with the excellent warranty. The old pos SUV costed me few k a year in repairs, was always something. I never looked forward to drive my car until now and I am 50 yo!
You tested the Premium Plus model with the camera on your steering wheel, that is not a standard package, is an upgrade. I have it without, just Premium, and is just fine.
Please test city drive. I got 62 mpg on city drive, anything in rush hours or lower than 35 m/ h will increase the battery usage vs fuel. Perfect car for commuters I say. I get 50 mpg average highway-city on Echo mode, plenty of power. Plus you have to drive it longer to get an accurate mpg assessment.
