Is the updated 2021 Toyota Camry XSE a BETTER sedan than the new Accord? 

I'm really here just to see how many snacks I can fit in different cars.

I am a mechanic and friends of mine that graduated with me still drive Hondas and Toyotas. Most of us work for Nissan, BMW, or Mercedes. We drive them not because we can't afford more expensive cars it's because we spend most of our time fixing cars and don't want to waste time fixing our own daily drivers.

Toyota Camry and Honda Accord keep exchanging punches year in year out

Been driving camry's since for ever. Never been disappointed, its meant to just blend into your life. You will always forget about gimmics and features, but you won't forget the maintenance bill and easy of use.

The Toyota Camry is probably the most affordable good looking sedan.

Raiti has to be my favorite go-to person I trust for cars. Love when he zonks fake vents/exhaust and I always laugh when he brings up storage possibilities aka Twinkies lol

The long term reliability of a non turbo is too often overlooked in vehicle reviews. The Camry is a car, that if well cared for, can last a very very long time. That's the reason for the great resale and great lease offers. There is still a lot of life left in a Camry with 100,000 miles. A lot. That's why it's on my short list for my next and maybe last vehicle. I'm going to drive it 'til either the car or I turns to dust. Great work Joe. I follow a few of these review channels, but not one is as prolific as yours. You really do work hard at this and I for one appreciate all of your efforts. Cheers! 👍👍

I’m just not a fan of the infotainment area, everything looks so clunky to be a 2021. They gotta go back to the drawing board soon

I actually prefer the prop rod. Worked on cars for nearly a decade and saw countless cars have hood struts fail and leak. To me, I like the old fashioned prop rod since it’s one less thing to break. Definitely not a deal breaker for me personally

I bought an accord two weeks ago. I drove and looked at the Camry, and it's a nice car, but I feel the quality of the accord and simple design just gives the accord a premium feel

I bought one a month ago! Same color, same trim but mine is the V6 and I AM LOVING IT!

"I think your passengers are going to enjoy the room they get in the trunk..." Dead!

Love the history run down you give at the beginning of each of these reviews. Thanks for the excellent, entertaining reviews!

excellent review as always y’all! Toyota nailed it yet again!😸

The Hybrid XSE actually handled better than the standard XSE, likely from the added weight and distribution. I was pretty surprised by the difference to be perfectly honest. Ended up with the hybrid because a) it was meant to be a commuter car for me and b) the hybrid XSE definitely handled batter than the standard XSE. Kinda reminded me of my Camaro with how planted and level it stays in corners lol

Still driving my 1998 Camry V6 LE (Back in the old days, when Toyota offered the V6 in the LE). Japan used to have their design studios in Southern California. Bizarro World since they went in house.

My personal favorite of ALL sedans is the toyota camry XSE

This is definitely a good pick, especially since this particular Camry breaks the stereotype that Toyotas are boring to drive. Not only is it reliable, but it's fun to drive, and I'd always pick an SE/XSE Toyota before an LE/XLE.

I'm glad toyota is sticking with N/A and no cvt. I love the Accords but the cvt or that turbo is pushing me to camry

This particular Camry looks sporty

This man would make me wanna buy every car he show me😂😂😂

wish manufacturers are still making super basic car......all i need is power windows and mirrors, a/c, sound system and abs

34k for a 4 cylinder? Toyota put all of its energy on a sports appearance and not the engine. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m done. Lol.

I love that Toyota gives you the option to black out the badges and chrome

For this being a higher trim package the interior looks horrible

I’m still waiting for Honda to implement an AWD on one of their accords

The 2.0T Sport Accord still smokes this thing.. but I like the looks of the Camry

The Koreans has surpassed the Japanese. Hyundai and Kia actually LISTENS to their consumers and do their best to update their vehicles Toyota on the other hand is very hard headed and do what they want to do. How many years did consumers ask for apple car play and android auto, ambient lighting and panoramic sunroofs? We finally got one this generation. Toyota is becoming a thing of the past lol.

The 2018 Mazda 6 has a functional, side, air curtain. Take note, Toyota!

I wish Toyota would throw some 5-spoke 20’s and LED fog lights on there!!!!

Looks good but so does the Accord and Sonata! They could have integrated the tablet screen better!

FYI headlight housing is physically the same from ‘18-‘20. Only difference is they’re darker trims around the headlights to make it a smokier look.

Not too shabby, but definitely like the interior of the Accord better. Would love to see you do a new Ridgeline review btw.

My daughter but this same car but in pearl white and black top beautiful car I love it

HEY Raities When you do your reviews turn the car lights on so we can see how they light up and can get a visual to what your talking about the something different from a mile away.

Half a million subs by next month? You deserve it Joe. The Camry is a good car but the Accord is just about better in every way except reliability

"two nature valley granola bars" i'm dying

Im stuck between both cars sadly. But after watching this, I'm leaning towards a white 2021 toyota camry XSE with red interior

My man still killing it!!!! Wishing you continued success! And I appreciate the history in the beginning of reviews.

I've just traded in my 2019 Toyota Sienna for this exact car and I've had it a week when my Husband decided to trade in his 2021 Corrola he bought in March for the 2021 Camry TRD we love the smooth ride of my daily driver and his sporty ride.

12:36 "And you do have masshole..." 12:39 "There's no such thing as masshole" *Me, a Bostonian: "I beg to differ Raiti..."

Always enjoy your reviews! Last week, I just picked up a 2021 XSE V6 in the exact exterior/interior you tested. Great to know it comes with heated and ventilated front seats. I love it!

2.5L 4 cylinder it’s a good engine i was hoping for a 3.5 V6

Can you imagine Joe doing this in the 60's?? - "Look at these Chrome bumpers!!!...So much Chrome!.... Look at these Tail fins.... You'd think it's a fish!!..."

This is the kind of Camry I prefer rather than the previous boxy design. I would go for the AWD Camry than the Accord for sure 👍🏼👍🏼

Quad tipped exhaust not so quad tip. More like standard dual exhaust with "fake" outer tips welded on for show. Zonk that. Get an aftermarket Borla exhaust and boom, back to being excellent!

Great review Joe, the XSE is nice and sporty but I would much rather prefer the XLE V6 trim level instead

I have a Camry le and love my investment. 23k is a long way from 34k...same exact engine and build quality. This newer platform is much stronger than the old one. Very solid.

Don’t forget the ventilated seats are optional. I also thought the XSE has real leather. The SE has faux leather

Camry is probably Toyota’s best vehicle they make along with the Tacoma

Filmed in 4k! Yes! Thank you! It definitely makes the videos even better! Great review Joe!

Honda Accord vs Toyota Camry: Tge Ultimate Midsize sedan slugfest of all time!!!!

Not gonna poke you in the family jewels😂😂😂

I do love this car buddy 😁

I'm considering a Camry SE or XSE. I'm glad the 4 cylinder is responsive; it's probably the engine I'd get.

Toyota has always been better built cars an trucks that’s y Nissan is struggling lol

It was between this and the Mazda 6 for me but I think I have to go with the Mazda! Love their interior and exterior styling

My Daughter just bought her first car on her own, a 2021 Camary xse. See took me to the Toyota dealer and wanted to by a Prisus. I said " only if you gain 100lbs and it comes with a Joe Biden bumper sticker"! Then I pointed to a Camary xse and tossed some money into her budget. The next morning she said Thank you Daddy , I would of made a big mistake buying a Prisus and I love my Camary. I drive a new Ford 150 but I think this Camary is a pretty cool car.

*206hp *Zonk for changing the struts from hydraulic to manual *Zonk for no memory seats STILL 🤨

Naturally aspirated engine, non bs cvt transmission, reliable pano sunroof and heated seats without premium price. Id take this over an unproven turbo and cvt honda accord anyday for just the reliability alone. 204 hp is plenty especially stacked with a 8spd transmission they have mastered on Lexus for years. . Back in the day v6 were under 200hp and the Only proven 204p+ 4cyl Naturally aspirated engine was the k24( acura tsx wagon ) . Sadly it was premium gas and honda steered away from it going to turbos. Go Back to the basics. But yes best drive experience would agree ,mazda wins. But I am suprised how planted the new camrys feel on the payment. And the steering is revised with a sport tight feel without sport mode. Keep the tech and give me reliability mechanics all day. Awesome review bro!!

I need this review with the 4cyl option. My younger brother is graduating from college and my folks and I are deciding between this car and the Corolla as a graduating gift. ....That C7 at 16:50 though👀

Actually the quad exhaust isn't fully functional hahah. Only one of the pipes in each side works.

Wish I can buy the brand new 2021 Camry XSE, but I am still rocking the 2007 Toyota Camry SE. Still going strong at almost 200,000 miles.

Rip Camry best generation!😢

Korean cars are overrated and it’s about time we had that talk

The quad tipped exhaust aren’t fully functional. I just bought one and looking to upgrade it to a TRD exhaust. But the outer tips are just welded on. No openings that goes into the muffler. The exhaust comes out through the inner tip. The same goes for the other muffler. The inner tip again. It was very disappointing for me but again, looking forward to getting it changed out.

Nice car, it looks pretty good but I fell in love with the K5 you showed us a few days ago.

Love your reviews. I've owned two Corollas and currently own a 2013 Camry that I bought in 2014. I love the reliability but one thing that drives me nuts is, I find the telescopic steering wheel doesn't telescope nearly as far as I need. My arms are stretching almost all the way even at the closest point.

Fourth 😂🤷🏻‍♂️ Toyota have raised their game - the Korean’s are really giving them a hard time.

@14:03 lmfaooo 😂😂😂 “SINCE BEFORE THE PANDEMIC” 💀💀💀😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

"It is filling up that whole nine inches" 😏😉😂😂

Man, that's a really decent car, pretty too. A bit pricey for not being a hybrid, but the hwy mpg's are quite good.

This channel is a national treasure and it should be protected.

Toyota cars still quite mediocre in design and features. The Korean cars now are way sportier and better in technology, design and features.

I would like to own the AWD with the larger engine. This would make it a mini beast! Great car for long weekend getaways when you hit the road.👍💖

Warning for everyone don't get the trash ass sunroof apparently it's been an issue since 2018 models but this shit sunroof will get stuck and break guaranteed it seems. The fix if not in warranty cost $8k

$34k for a base engine! They try to lure unsuspecting buyers with fancy wheels, pano roof, and huge touch screen.

My midsize sedan ranking: 1. Camry 2. Accord 3. Mazda6 4. Sonata 5. Optima 6. Passat 7. Altima

good thing i like about camry is they have buttery smooth v6 engine 👍🏻

My mother would Love this car and I’m saving up for it. Hopefully by next year I would be able to put a down payment on this bad boy.

Loved my 2007 SE and love the way this one looks as well. Toyota never disappoints. One of the best looking sedans on the road today. Great detailed review as usual.

This guy is the best car reviewer ever. I bought my Highlander after his review. No BS and he doesn’t try to sell it to you. Keep up the videos man

You're not lying about the previous generation looking a little bland 🤣🤣 love the aggressive styling of this one!

Raiti, I really like the look of the new camry's. It would be nice if Toyota offered a manual in the XSE V6. It would be very fun to drive!

Sharp looking but I’d have to go V6. Camry or Accord, can’t go wrong with either one. Fun fact: The Celica St was first to the U.S. in 1971. Thanks for sharing it Joe! Nice review! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I am still not crazy about the Camry's front fascia and the interior design of the console. Toyota's claim that the Camry is the greatest midsized sedan is questionable! It is so competitive in the midsized sedan market for $34,000 MSRP. Kia (K5), Hyundai (Sonata), Honda (refreshed Accord), Nissan (Altima) and the refreshed Mazda6, all vying for the consumer`s dollars.

That interior has nothing on Accord's interior. Nothing.

Look at Toyota put here updating their bread and butter Camry XSE huh!!! It looks good Joe. Personally I'd be going with the Accord 2.0T but I can respect Toyota for giving the Canry some attention. Thanks for the review here Joe!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesForDays #OnThrottleAgain #LoriGotAngles #CameraQueen #Zonkmeister #CrownVic #OnThrottleAllDay #RightOffTheBat #OnThrottleAllOverThePlace #Toyota #Camry_XSE

Usually camrys are used as taxi cabs in New York which I live

Toyota is crazy for downgrading people who buy a lower trim with a smaller screen size. The pre-refreshed infotainment was pathetic, and now they still don’t have the decency to make this 9inch screen standard lol

Hey Joe, congrats on 430K! You deserve it man!

Ugly rear butToyota made great reliability car only certain year is bad model but most of their cars are great.

Toyota's interiors are still well behind its rivals' such as Mazda, Hyndai and to a lesser extent Honda.

I’m thinking of buying the 2018-2020 xse, like the way the screen was integrated in the center as opposed to sticking up. Not sure why that’s the new thing but I’m not liking it 😂

“Look ma no hands” hahaha tiktok

Great review again ! ! Sorry Toyota just because it sold the most , doesn't make it the best ! Again why does a 203 hp car need sports mode? it makes me laugh every time. good starter car

Sup Joe. I've moved on from the Camry but this is ight.

This Toyota really tickles me. Awesome design, gorgeous black rims, great interior and boot space. Peppy engine and slick gearbox.

I appreciate that Toyota is one of the last car makers to still give us aspirated engines and hasn't jumped totally on the turbo fan wagon.

Great review! But I like the infotainment screen on my 2019 Camry XSE better. I don't like the new floating screen. It always reminds me of something that would be in a truck or SUV. I opted for the Blizzard Pearl/ Metallic blk with red interior and am loving it!
