EVERYTHING I LIKE AND DISLIKE ABOUT THE 2025 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE AWD is presented as a well-rounded midsize sedan, excelling in its smooth and refined hybrid powertrain, delivering good MPG, though not quite reaching EPA estimates in cold conditions. The AWD system, utilizing a rear electric motor, is noted as effective for propulsion. Positives include the impressive JBL premium audio system, a unique color-changing running light feature, and a comfortable interior with premium soft-touch materials, particularly in the XLE trim. However, several drawbacks are highlighted: the built-in dash cam's intrusive placement, excessively hot heated seats (even on lower settings), the absence of a remote start on the key fob (relying solely on the app), and a highly annoying driver attention monitor that frequently prompts the driver to sit up. Additionally, the door close sound is described as hollow, and the interior exhibits rattles and material flex, especially when the premium audio system is used at higher volumes, detracting from the overall experience given the vehicle's price point.
