2025 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID XSE AWD DETAILED REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid marks a significant evolution, now exclusively offered as a hybrid and available with all-wheel drive, a rarity in its segment. The reviewer highlights the updated Toyota Hybrid System 5 (THS5) and praises its smooth, natural acceleration, avoiding the abruptness often found in EVs. While the XSE AWD trim delivers a respectable 39 MPG average (with a 41 MPG rating), the LE FWD variant offers superior fuel economy. The interior receives high marks for its modern design and premium feel, rivaling luxury brands like Lexus, with a wealth of standard features even on base models. The reviewer commends the comfortable seating, intuitive controls, and the upgraded infotainment system. Driving impressions are largely positive, noting the Camry's surprising nimbleness and responsive handling, especially in sport mode, despite the sport-tuned suspension on the XSE. Ride quality is deemed good, though softer trims with smaller wheels are suggested for those prioritizing comfort. Criticisms are minor, including the prevalence of glossy black trim and the lack of cornering lights. Overall, the 2025 Camry Hybrid is presented as a highly competent and compelling midsize sedan, offering efficiency, space, and advanced features.
