2017 TOYOTA CAMRY: FULL REVIEW + TEST DRIVE | LE, SE, XSE, XLE & HYBRID

EV Channels Review

The 2017 Toyota Camry SE receives a comprehensive review, highlighting its continued success due to a significant 2015 refresh. The reviewer covers a wide range of trims, including LE, SE, XSE, XLE, and their hybrid variants. Key strengths noted are the smooth transmission on the standard 2.5L I4 engine, the comfortable and spacious rear seating with ample legroom, and a high safety rating, earning it an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus. The interior is praised for its material quality, with soft-touch plastics and good fit-and-finish, though some cost-cutting is observed, particularly the rough headliner. The SE trim's sportier exterior styling, including the black mesh grille and smoked headlights, is a plus. Downsides mentioned include the lack of standard LED headlights on lower trims and the basic sound system on LE and SE models. Fuel economy, while reduced from the previous year, remains competitive, especially for the hybrid variants.
