Is the 2025 Toyota Camry XSE a new sport sedan WORTH the PRICE? 

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 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.

I hope it was worth the wait!

For me Joe it’s always worth the wait, when it comes to Raiti’s Rides reviews

@@kervensferdinand669thanks for having my back!

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.

@@jarod3371 🗑️

You are so very welcome my friend!

They really knocked it out of the park!

How you know it reliable when it haven’t been proven? 😂😂😂

@@kromahj Toyota's been proving themselves the last 87 years...

@@kromahjk

Beautiful design?🤡

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.

I think you are spot on the money.

Thanks for tuning with your cup of Joe!

same! always a good combo.

Popping and watching this video 👍 💩

what kind of coffee?

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.

I’m so glad that I can share it with you!

Thanks Jarmel for saying that!

Thanks for saying that and having my back.

Yeah it takes all kinds! Great to have a Jersey boy here!

Thanks fir having my back

​@@RaitisRides no issue my friend.👍👍

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

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.

That’s so really nice of you to say!

I appreciate that Luis!

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.

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.

Hey Tom! Good call on the infotainment

​@@RaitisRides 😁

@@stellantistom6881you’re the best Tom!

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.

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

That’s so wonderful to hear! I love bringing the cars and the laughs

Good call on that one

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.

Yes sir! I’m from Bensonhurst!

They have come a long way with the Camry design!

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

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

You are not the only one saying that!

I doubt he will post another review with that being the only difference.

This is so very true! I can’t believe they pulled that one off.

@@RaitisRidessame here Joe

They brought some great styling!

Great to have you here and I’m so glad that I can share it with you.

Not needed for 20 years

Non issue really.

Things are going great! I hope the same for you. I’m glad you are still on this journey with me!

@@RaitisRides That’s great to hear Joe! It’s only up from here. Stay sunny!

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

Res

No more gas guzzler 🎉

Good riddance😂

Don’t worry the es and Is350 will still offer them.

@@charlesjackson1700 Do you think your electrical car getting energy just from the wall in your garage??? Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣

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.

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.

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

@@shahangilanimaybe you will like it more in person ?

@@RaitisRides maybe

Yes.

You are so very welcome.

I hope it was worth the wait!

Actually I don't see many markups on normal cars like this.

No I sure don’t. Thanks for asking us!
