2025 TOYOTA CAMRY IS RATED AT 44 MPG: FIRST FILL-UP RESULTS

EV Channels Review

The reviewer tested the 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid XSE, aiming to verify its 44 MPG rating. Despite initial concerns with the dashboard reading around 44.9 MPG, the reviewer achieved an impressive 50 MPG after a week of mixed city and highway driving, exceeding the EPA estimate. Key to this success were efficient driving techniques such as gentle acceleration, coasting, and utilizing regenerative braking, all explained in detail. The reviewer highlighted that the optional 19-inch wheels and the all-wheel-drive system on the XSE model negatively impacted fuel economy. For optimal MPG, the reviewer strongly recommended the LE trim with 16-inch wheels and front-wheel drive, suggesting it could easily achieve over 60 MPG. The reviewer also praised the car's comfortable ride, advanced safety features like lane change assist, and the effective climate control system that doesn't significantly drain the battery. Overall, the Camry Hybrid is presented as a fuel-efficient and technologically advanced sedan, with specific trims offering superior economy.
