Is the 2025 Toyota Camry LE the BEST midsize sedan for under $30k? 

I had a 2013 Toyota Camry LE as a daily driver, and I loved it. It was great on gas, fun to drive, great on the freeway or in town driving. It's 16 inch tires are full of air and you'll notice a smother ride as compared to thin 19 or 20 inch tires which you'll feel every rut and pothole on the road and are more expensive to replace. The 16 inch tires are inexpensive to replace, and so are the light bulbs. This car is perfect for most people who go to and from work everyday, run errands, weekend trips this Camry is your little work hose. It's a nice looking care and I'd buy one if I didn't own a Toyota Tacoma right now. You can't beat it.

They made it so much better than the old one for a very similar price

thank for showing the LE model 🤝👏👏🙏💪

Was waiting on this one. Thanks for covering the BASE trim.

Only Joe can go from the thrilling 911 turbo S to this base Camry and feel the exact same. 👌🏻

Finally an infotaiment system that doesn't look like you bought it from radioshack

love the 16 inch wheels. my 2002 Lexus ES300 has same 16 in rims with 215/60 rubber. thick sidewalls so no risk of blowouts/rim damage and best of all you get a luxurious ride. if I was in the market for a sedan, this is the one I would get.

Toyota was smart to go all hybrid with this model. The only thing is that they might hurt their 2025 Toyota Prius sales, because this car has more power, similar MPG; and has room than that model. Also the pricing is similar or better than the Prius.

Thank you for getting a hold of multiple trims. It sometimes gets annoying when the manufacturer only gives you the top of the line models.

Really glad to see a base trim review! Very realistic

Thanks, Joe, for giving us a great review on the base trim.

Wonderful commuter. Efficient grocery getter. Decent styling. Affordable. They should sell a ton of these. ☮️💙

This color blue is really stunning one of the best shades of blue I've seen

Finally a review in a base trim. Much appreciated 👏

Thank you for reviewing the LE trim. Quite impressive for being the “base” model.

I love how you did the base trim.

Passenger air vents in the back on an LE is amazing

Thank you for looking at the base model!

❤ Thank you, Joe and Stephen!❤️

Very detailed review!

Amazing review Joe.

More like this! Awesome.

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

I am digging the base trim LE of the 2025 Camry.:)💯🙌🏻💯🙌🏻

I would go for the LE, I am past all the show and glitz and want value and ride comfort and mpg.

It all adds up to a really good value. Reminds me of the Toyata we use to know.

I love selling this brand! Keeps improving!

I would get this LE with the convenience package for sure! I want to test drive it soon.

Love the color Ocean Green.. wheels do look funky, love the hybrid and AWD!!!

Can’t go wrong with a Camry 👍. Great value with great MPG’s !!!

Great move by Toyota to offer 2025 Camry in hybrid form only. Toyota is killing it by offering hybrids in every segment. They are way above everyone else with their robust hybrid supply chain.

Solid base trim. Just waiting for the XLE now!

I appreciate it when reviewers show off the volume sellers of cars, and not just the higher trims. I think this hurts Honda with the Accord for sure. Honda basically admitted hybrid is a premium with the Accord. Not to mention some of the premiums of the Touring for that car are subscription-based, which is greedy bullshit, if you ask me. Bravo, Toyota.

This is a nice replacement for my Black Walnut 2004 Camry LE.

That color POPS!

Nice color

Since most new cars are only available in. White, silver, primer gray or black, having this color option is a nice choice.

Those wheels are so perfect for ride share tho. Cheap to replace more fuel efficient.. bigger sidewall. I'm gonna get this one.. If I can find one without ridiculous markups. I'm not getting the base model only to pay se prices

I love when you do base model cars

Awesome base level Camry and lots of bang for the buck. Joe - One thing I noticed during the video is when cornering it seemed the steering wheel turn was excessive, what did you feel on the steering?

Beatiful color❤❤

Love the color ! So much comes with the base. I’m guessing it doesn’t have remote start though ?

Nice review and love the Ocean Gem....I will go with either the White or Ocean Gem, whichever is available first. The first shipment here in Houston, they pretty sold out. Good driving in the 94 by the way (at least it looked like the 94 to me....I used to live in San Diego).

Beautiful color! I'm so sick of grey, black, and white cars. It's a great car for a great price. I do, though, hate the cloth on the dashboard. It brings back memories of a Chevy Malibu I rented about 6 years ago. It also had cloth on the dashboard and it just looked weird. I'd buy this Camry in a heartbeat. So much better than an electric junk car.

Yes of course Joe & I might buy this vehicle.

16:50 US129 tail of the dragon, 318 curves in 11 miles. In my younger days, rode it a couple times on suzuki bandit. In my older days, i think i'd like the camry on the tail of the dragon in florida. 11 curves in 318 miles. :)

My 17 Prius eco gets 58-61 mpg I don’t know if I want to take a hit on mpg. But this is a very nice Camry and added power n looks handling etc.. over my slow boring Prius.

When my 2015 bites the dust this will be top of list. The mileage is insane my non-hybrid 2015 gets half at 25MPG!

Wonder if Toyota will make a “sporty performance” trim for this generation since last generation had the TRD trim. We’ve yet to see if they’ll do something like that for this generation

I remember paying a bit over $17,000 for a Camry LE back in 1993. 2025 version has a lot going for it.

My current ride is a 2017 Camry LE. I didn't care much for the changes for '18, but this refresh for '25 looks good. Will have to check it out in person! RogerC 5/11/24

Wow, Joe great color good price, and will probably last forever if maintained properly.!!!.😊😊😊.

I had a Eagle Vision TSi in that exact shade of Metallic Teal. I always loved that color. As to this Camry, it is one of the best bang for buck cars in the marketplace for a family of 4 hauler.

I am unequivocally positively an entry-level base model driver

Seems like a very good price! I don't even need the sunroof!

camry or sonata hybrid new facelift which one you pick in terms of comfort and handling?

Front view Celica. Side view Altima. MPG is crazy good.

If only every manufacturer did what the Camry LE Hybrid was doing.... Yeah it basically blows everything else out of the water for the price.

I am buying mine today after doing a test drive. What a nice car.! Quite when driving . The car handles very well but may be a little floaty for some but I really wanted the smooth drive of the LE suspension and 16 inch wheels. This is a better than the Honda Accord (hybrid) Sport having driving both.

would you say the center console armrest is similar to the toyota crown? when i test drove the crown the right hand would rest so perfectly on the center console armrest.

Hahha he-man and sheera. You took me back to the teddy ruxpin days lol

Got mine coming in next month! I added heated seats for $700. The LE is the best Value 100%. That MPG is ridiculous.

Awesome color

Is the XLE much more comfortable and quieter than the le trim?

Exactly what you want for daily driving. Simple, lots of room and great milage! 😍😍

I like that Toyota understands buyers ae looking for value before spending their hard-earned money.

How about a fleet applications police and taxi packages

Lovely colour 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤. Gud Morning Joe.

Great review!!! You said the magic words...NATURALLY aspirated engine. Some reviewers don't mention that. Turbo is a deal killer....I want nothing to do with that stuff. The entire review is excellent!!

at this point it might be the only midsize sedan under 30k

How soon before the all new Camry TRD comes out?

Ocean Gem is beautiful and yes the Camry LE as the entry level model gives you great value and solid reliability. Thank you Steven for the camera work and Joe for the great review!

Smaller wheels are better for MPGs and road noise so I have 0 issues with the wheels. The paint color is beautiful!

Does the AWD have a griip like a WRX ?

Can’t go wrong with a Camry

Can you please comment on the thin oil Toyota is using now. Will 0W-08 affect the longevity of this engine?

How would you say the suspension feels? Super soft or rough and could be better??

toyota really did hit a homerun with this year's camry, however looking at ones at dealerships within the last week.. the models i've seen are option'd and 'upcharged' over 40k

The best Camry in my life ❤

More tire and less rim. Now you can jam down some fire roads

That color takes me back to the early 2000s Camrys but with a modern twist

Can you make a review for SE 2025 model. I hate this screen and wheel rim

Yeah an LE!!!!

This is less than $30K? seems like superb value

This is in first place for what car I'd get when my 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer eventually kicks the bucket.

Joe I love how you review all the trim

It looks a lot better than the previous ones.

I wonder how you concluded that the mpg for the new Camry is higher than that of its previous generation? Actually, it's the reverse (LE camry 2024 FWD hybrid combined mpg = **52** VS. LE camry 2025 FWD hybrid combined mpg = **51**).

32k great, Try to go buy one it's going to be a 5k up charge. This is actually worth the money. Seems pretty quick, quiet and comfortable. Wait one year and somebody will be selling their Camry Wheels because they put aftermarkets on them and buy some new Wheels.

man it's going to sell out like hot cake!

I like that color, Ocean Gem. Aquamarine clone?

I would get the SE for about 35k with the same options. Still a good value but you may need to dealer shop to avoid the greedy markups. Can't decide between the heavy metal color or the ice cap. Will need to see in person

Cool color, doom likes

For a Camry thats pretty cool.

Base model has Sunroof?

Nice looking car Toyota.👍

No arguing against the value, but I'm not sure why Toyota refused to take a chance on the design considering they had an opportunity to do something fresh for a totally new model. Instead, it just looks like a "hammerhead grille" reskin of the previous gen. If they carried over the modern look of the Prius and Crown to this, they'd have a real standout.

Looking to buy one as a second car with the my model y. I currently have a 2003 Camry le, has 313k miles on it. Might be time to go to the 2025 but for some reason my Camry 2003 looks bigger on the inside

Hopefully these cars don’t start getting mark ups like they aren’t even special editions vehicles but these dealers wanna mark up everything

I Was Going to Buy a New Camry LE FWD Ocean Gem w/Black interior(snow tires)BUT You Have Convinced Me 😮😎🇺🇲!! I'm Going to Buy a New AWD, instead 🎉😎 Boston MA 🇺🇲😎!! Drive Safe 😎
