Are you still liking it? Happy with your purchase? I'm supposed to buy one this week,. I'm upset there's no push start, no heated seats and it would have looked even better with fog lights... but it met my budget right now, especially with the crazy high rates and the shortage of vehicles......
@@frankiea3752i just bought mine and i’m in love with it reliable and very homey interior makes the hour drive to work everyday and hour back super relaxing
I have a 2022 SE AWD, I highly recommend it. I also recommend snow tires, the stock tires in the snow are great at grabbing the road on slippery hills but stopping isn’t fun when it’s snowy lol. I would take this any day over a garbage Subaru with a CVT transmission. (My previous car)
@@bjsimon802 its not going to work. The infrastructure cant support all electric let alone what we have being powered now. The govt will just delay the day of no more gas car sales. Think about it they can barely build a subway. Asking them to change the whole country’s infrastructure that took over 100 years to build is crazy. Keep in mind govt and ppl are heavily indebted

@@Jacob1986 I completely agree, but this is all about compliance not what the public wants. These psycho paths tell us that we need to fix the environment while they parade on huge yachts and drive massive SUV and limousines. Americans want v6 and v8 model to tow ect. They should allow the free market to dictate, but they won't do that because this is not about freedom, this is about control.
Thanks for the detail. The nose is an improvement and I hope marks a trend back to more subtlety in front. The back is perf3ct. I’m actually an XLE fan, and will look forward to that. That Camry has an automatic transmission versus CVT for its competition is a big selling point for Toyota.
Hey, is this the normal SE AWD Upgrade package? The Toyota Canada website leads me to believe that this Camry should not have the push to start, and upgraded rear-view mirror.
@@joeotto775 The bumper would also scrape the curb of the driveway as the new platform builds cars with lower clearance. But you’re right styling is personal taste. Check out the 1936 De Soto Air Flow. It failed because of design.
I hate the redesign in general. It looked like a Lexus a few years ago and now they are going backwards. It is looking more and more from the 90s. I wish they would just keep what's popular and redesign everything most people don't like. So that it gets better and better. Instead of some good things and some bad things.
I like my Camry but I want them to update the interior. Mine is a 2020 so it has the integrated infotainment unit, not the floating unit which looks so cheap and an afterthought. Also, so many cheap plastics. The rattles I have at 24k miles is so annoying.
I spoke to a dealership in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago and they told me that they have 2 XSE V6’s allocated arriving in January. So maybe no XSE V6 for Canada
@@kpopmuzikk I agree with you. It's all emission related for the discontine. Btw, be careful with the TRD. No sunroof or folding rear seat. Skirt package and v6 are awesome but yucky rear spoiler imo.
Fog lights Toyota .. Fog lights. This large front pumper blank side looks so annoying to my eye man. the upgrade will be another set of wheels for summer. with wider tires and front fog light. TRD dual muffler. this will look really hot
They made a huge mistake not making the metallic dark blue exterior color anymore. Not buying a Camry now because that's the only color I would get, and the low finance rates are only for the new 2023 models.
Wait, so my 2022 toyota camry se doesn't have that bigger dash screen and smaller infotainment system. Is that new for 2023 or was I missing something when I bought mine last year?
Great review as just 2 weeks ago I factory ordered the exact same car - SE Upgrade AWD in the same color - so I know exactly what I'm getting. Only extra I added was a tablet holder, and since the car will be kept garaged during the cold winter didn't think it would need a block heater, otherwise would have added that as well. Hope it doesn't take too long to be delivered. Actually, that's a good question - how long does a factory order take?
@@Barrie562 I went to my closet dealership and they had this one there and I couldnt turn down a brand new AWD Camry for $31,000, it took about a day for me too get a check for a down payment and get my insurance set up
@@Barrie562 I’ve driven crap box chevy sedans since I started driving and this is my first brand new car and it was well worth it, feels like you’re driving on a cloud, everyone says it looks clean af, hope you get yours soon man
That B pillar is dangerously too big. Visibility is a nightmare . Plus the rear head rests are blocking out the rear vision. Why cant they be removed ?
That is true, you must not sit in a lot of Camry's. All the trims are available in 2023 as they were in 2022. There has not been any significant changes other than paint color and SE Nightshade new look. I am not sure where you obtained your information. Like a Salesperson, you talk a bunch of baloney in attempt to sell what is on your Invoice. In the 2024 year, Toyota is discontinuing several things, not in 2023. The best 2023 model on a budget is the XLE AWD, if you need a stiffer smooth ride get the XSE AWD, if you require great acceleration and speed get the XLE V6 or top of the line trim XSE V6. If you are single, want an imitation sport like car get the TRD with a V6. I am not a fan of Hybrid models. The 3.5L V6 can go 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds as the 2.5L i-4 is 7.3 seconds both have a governor capping top speed at 135mph. Ground clearance is 5.7-inches which is rather low since 6.3 or 6.7 would have been more practical. No manual transmission offers or options which is a bummer. I have a new 2023 Camry XSE V6 as of Dec. 2022 that would have looked even more kool/awesome with some of the TRD body parts such as side skirt, front bumper spoiler, blacked out emblem/logos, rear diffuser. May get a small modification as to get Fog Lamps.
This is an embarrassment & a slap in the face of all Toyota Camry users Refresh is long overdue I refuse to get another camry that looks no different than the 2018/19 camry i switched to the Corolla cross top trim XlE
@@jaysarchive7325 yeah, getting an AWD model is already more than enough. The luxury feature I want most is a HUD. After trying one out in a Corvette I want it so badly.
I tried to watch your video. Had to give up when you said "Calvary Blue" twice early in the video. Calvary is the site where Jesus was crucified. It's CAV-AL-RY dude! As in mounted troops. CAV-AL-RY! The 'V" comes befory the "L". I learned the word in the 1960's!
I am not impressed. I really liked the camry design 2 or 3 years ago which looked like a Lexus. But this look is a downgrade. It looks old school. Like from the 90s. The design keeps getting worse. Same on the rav4. And the 2 tone seats are Ugly AF! They keep doing that every year. I will wait for the redesign in a few years. Once I get a new car, I use it for 20+years so I want to like everything about it. I won't settle. Especially since they also keep raising the price!
Needs a V6. And end of story. Try climbing mountain passes and passing slower cars at high elevation with 4 passengers, a full trunk, and a ski rack. Massive fail Toyota.
You think toyota just discontinues engines for no reason? The government calls the shots. Every company will be dropping v6s in the next couple of years unless they pay unreasonable fees to produce and sell them. Besides, I have a 2020 camry with the 2.5l. It has over 200 hp. I've had it loaded right down and never had an issue overtaking cars or climbing steep hills. The 8 speed does a beautiful job of keeping the engine in the perfect spot at all times. Btw, who the heck chooses a sedan to load 4 people, all their stuff and a what I'm assuming a loaded ski rack to floor past cars up mountains ? Sounds like a YOU problem rather than a toyota one...
@@joeotto775 The dumbest comment ever. You’ve clearly never been on Eisenhower, Vail, Berthed, McClure, Lizard Head, or Monarch Pass in the winter. At 10,000 + feet of elevation that 4 banger will lose 30% of its power. Weekend skiers are loaded 4 to a car with a gear bag each, boots, and 4 sets of skis or boards. Lots of drivers own sedans and they install 4 Blizak snow tires. With AWD, the added weight and low center of gravity sedans are safer on black ice and frozen snow than any truck or suv. Audis, Subies, Mercs, BMW’s, even AWD Chrysler 300’s and Taurus leave big top heavy vehicles behind. The rest I won’t bother with because you just don’t know anything about winter travel in Colorado and what people drive and how some people use their cars.
Mogulfarmer... cruise control is your best friend. My 2020 corolla LE climbs the mountain passes with ease at high elevations with cruise on....its a 1.8 litre as well
@@alvinsimba734 the curb weight difference is around 600lbs (Corrola v Avalon). Grew up driving Colorado mountain passes. NA 4 cylinders get smoked on the passes. Worse when they have passengers and ski/snowboarding gear. That’s a hard no. Hundreds of hours behind the wheel on high elevation passes on lots of different car/motor combos. The NA 4 cylinder motors are amongst the worst to climb passes in.
HAHA the only thing "more" that the Nissan will give you over the camry is severe cvt transmission issues. Nissan is total junk and a dying brand for good reason. We've already seen these 8th gen camrys go 850,000 km with basic maintenance!
@@joeotto775 Knew that was coming 😀. Agree, the Altimas and Rogues had lots of transmission problems. But the Maximas, rare. My Maxima has 109k and no problems. Change the fluid every 30k. Haha... mines better than yours! Just kidding, in the end it’s just 4K plus pounds of metal and plastic... it’s not what defines me. Just like the standard options Nissan makes available better. I always wish anyone who buys a car the best of luck, it’s a crap shoot. So, best of luck with whatever you own 👍.
