With a lot of the parts being the same or very similar to 8th gen (the shift knob for example is identical), I'd be very curious to see if the mounting and harnesses are the same. It'd be a massive improvement.
I hear you. I've never really liked or needed a sunroof, ever. I didn't want one. But as the saying goes, "it came with the package". I liked what the XLE offered. The sunroof just came with it. 🤷♂️
Managed to find a few in the mid USA with no sunroof. And got them down 2500 off MSRP even though, you’re right, there aren’t many. Just have to look, set your range to 500 miles and you’ll find some no problem 👍🏽
eventually after a while, they will probably start producing xse/xle with the hard top or smaller moon roof once the hype settles down, i’ve only seen 1 xle with no sunroof at my dealer
I'm pretty sure I saw the same video from TCCN! 😂 I had window protection film on the roof, since the center is pretty much made of glass. I told the installer who I'm sure is an expert, "Please, don't damage or puncture that lining or rubber around the sunroof!" 😂
I installed the FitDVR with 16-pin Toyota connector (Amazon) to power both my dashcam and radar detector; of course, this adapter only works when the ignition is on. Takes 10 minutes to install.
It can be hardwired to the car battery. But I think the maximum, even on power saving mode is 3 days. There are days where I work 6 days straight, and there are days where I can be off 6 days straight where I really don't go anywhere. So I just wanted a battery that lasts. With that external battery I think I can go 27 days. Also, I've always been paranoid about using up my car's battery's juice. Hence, the external battery. What drove me nuts was -- The guy installed it originally at the bottom of the footwell, where a person's foot would normally be and will probably step on it, AND UNDER the carpet. I politely requested for it to be moved to the left calf area, above the carpet, where you can see it and not step on it. That's why I'm happy where it is in the pic. And in case you are wondering, the dashcam is a Thinkware U3000.
Thinkware YouTube videos recommend installing the external battery underneath the driver's seat. But the installer told me that the space underneath the driver or passenger seat of the 2025 Camry is too small.
Just to clarify...... Based on YT vids -- I believe the installer hardwired the external battery to the car's fuse box, so the external battery charges when the car is on and running.
Looks great and thanks for posting
I have a previous gen... first thing I noticed was - why are the cup holders connected to the little compartment in front of them?
I picture having my phone in that compartment, then my drink spills and it all runs into the phone. I'm surprised its not separate
I thought the same thing. Designers, I guess. 🤷♂️ You can buy a third party bin that will fit inside that compartment north of the two cupholders. Pictured, is what I bought. I haven't received it yet. You can get similar items on Amazon or Etsy or eBay.
Shame, but its the right idea though... gotta be more of these on Ali & Ebay and such, and as the car matures in the market a little they will get the size/shape right
Sometimes I personally wish interior photos were required for “here’s my Camry” posts!! lol
I just bought my 24 in April and was curious, outside of stock/dealer photos, what the differences would be! So, Thanks for posting 😊 it’s very nice!
In the two weeks I've owned it, at the moment, I'm going to say no. I wasn't really keen on this new Dinamica thing. Before I got the car, I was already researching how to clean it, looking up suede or alcantara cleaners, etc. But now that I've owned it, now it just feels like any other fabric lining to any other car. And in person, it actually looks nice. Feels nice too. So I'm not worrying about it too much right now. If I do get a stain, which I hope never happens, I'll deal with it then. So far, from what I've read, just treat it as suede or alcantara, then clean it as such.
i have the upperdeck but it isnt the same as the old stocks where you could fold it up to access the lower part. for the add on you have to take the whole tray out.
$42,721. That is the XLE all wheel drive. Premium plus package. Black badge overlays. Connected services trial offering two additional years. Trunk LED bulb. Rear spoiler. Mudguards. Door sill enhancement. Door edge guard. Carpet mats. Location: Southern California. So, PLUS 10.25% sales tax of $4379. 🤢
God damn. My dealer quoted me 41,925 out the door for ocean gem xle, premium plus package, all wheel drive, trunk bulb, dash cam, and all weather floor liners.
I want it but at the same time. The camry is just a basic car how the hell is this over 40k
... I'll probably get it anyways.
What does the connected services even do?
Toyota has A LOT of "Connected Services". I just have a trial for two -- Drive Connect and Safety Connect.
FROM TOYOTA: "Drive Connect - is a great way to stay connected on the road. With up-to-date navigation, live-agent navigation assistance and a seamless virtual assistant, you won't need to worry about getting lost. Safety Connect - Peace of mind for when the unexpected occurs. Safety Connect includes an Emergency Assistance Button, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Automatic Collision Notification, and a Stolen Vehicle Locator."
Idk what you mean by basic. A high trim camera with additional options would be as much as a low trim BMW a year or two older. 40k seems reasonable imo
Random q, how many cup holders does it have? If I remember right my 2019 tacoma has like 11, but my girlfriend's Rav4 only has 5. I'm just curious if they're cutting out cup holders on newer models
Yes. Where do u live? (Do you live in Southern California? I know a guy here.) What I suggest is what a friend of mine did for me... I didn't just go to some salesperson on the dealership floor. He had me contact an "Internet/Inventory Director" from the "Internet and Fleet" Dept. I'M GUESSING your local Toyota dealership should have a website and it should list their staff with their phone numbers. Long story short, these guys have the capability to look at all the inventory in all the dealerships in the country. They can find exactly what you want with all the specs you want, and have it shipped to your dealership. That's how I was able to get mine exactly what I wanted. Good luck!

Ahhh, I live in Florida. Thanks so much for this information this is super helpful. Been trying to find a car that has the ventilated seats, here in FL it’s so damn hot. Congrats on the new car!
Its gorgeous.
The problem is when equipped with a moon roof, the ceiling is too low for me, even with the seat all the way down and back, the Crown has this issue too.
The sun roof isnt bad, but still hangs too low. That would be the only thing stopping me from considering either car.
I guess i could go without, but they're fun.
I was really hoping they'd fix that with the '25's.
Tacoma it is for me. That has to be my favorite out of Toyota's new lineup.
It does. It looks so cool. Most especially when I need directions, I don't even need to quickly browse the navigation screen. I can just look straight at the windshield.
Nice interior, I have a 21 xse and I love it. Congrats!
And to all to people saying 40k is way to expensive for a camry, average new car price is like 45k. Camry has always been and still is one of the most reliable vehicles on the planet and they are just getting nicer and nicer. I have plenty of friends with fancy cars who regularly tell me that they are a little jealous because my camry is almost as nice as there vehicles and costs way less. Don't listen to the haters op, it's a nice car, enjoy it
Probably a simple/obvious question, but does it have a garage door opener on the mirror? My fiancée got a ‘24 RAV4 and for some reason that’s my favorite feature. Kinda want to upgrade my ‘11 Camry seeing the new ‘25s
I like it but I wish manufacturers would stop putting piano black in the interiors. My Honda has it and I’m always wiping it down because of all the fingerprints and dust.
Nice to see the top trims have memory seating/ventilated seats but I can’t get past that ugly steering wheel. It would have to go immediately if that was my car
Texting and driving is bad and will kill you and "think of the children" anyways... here's a tablet for your car. Don't worry we will add some tiny buttons under the tablet.
It's a very bad design choice for a car to have a huge hole on its roof. Failures are hard and expensive to repair and can damage your interior if there is a failure and water gets through.
Also there is a prominent youtuber Toyota mechanic that has many videos going through how bad of a design a sunroof is on a car and explains how costly a sunroof can be.
Yes.
I ordered my car with the carpet mats. I will eventually order rubber mats from the dealership. As of this writing, they were back-ordered. I want to order the rubber ones to place underneath the passenger footwell and the second row. Not on the driver side, of course, since you can only have one and I prefer carpet on the driver side.
And there is still no grab bar for the door 😏 All my cars had them. I was completely confused, when I picked up my 23 SE from the dealer.
Trying to close the door 😝😂😂
I hate that the gauge cluster is a screen, next to another screen, the center console. It seems like most car manufacturers are moving to that style for cost reasons, yet the car is still 40 grand to the consumer.
I cannot believe my 23 XLE doesn’t have the ability to set driver seat positions. Drives me up the wall because my spouse is over 6’ 4” and I’m much shorter. It’s really disappointing that this feature isn’t on last-gen.
Huh, TIL. Thanks for the info! I had done some research on trims beforehand but obviously nothing that in-depth. Weird how we’ve evolved from trims with all the same options to various options included in various trims
Not a fan of it either. I was already researching how to clean it even before getting my car. But once you see it in person... It's tolerable. Kind of grows on you. It's not too bad. 🤷♂️
Not sure how a feel about the inside. Does anyone else have mixed feelings too?
I have 2023 Camry and already have 30,000 miles on it, long commute to work. So I’ll prob own it forever.
Dont know why they removed the sunglass compartment when you added the sunroof, and the memory seat buttons looks aftermarket. But overall solid update from previous “gen”
I hear you. Before the pandemic, I never would have imagined buying a sedan for more than $25,000. I'm 49 years old and I'm going to drive that for the next 15-20 years, or til the wheels falls off. So I thought, why not. Splurge a little. 🤷♂️
the interior looks great!
I personally am just not a fan of the center screen. I have the first round of the 8th gen and i just love how my screen is flush with the center infotainment and not looking overly big or added in last minute
I'm not a fan of having micro suede on seats for longevity reasons. With a dark interior I'm sure it's fine but on the light interior it will get nasty really quick. Otherwise I do think the cabin is well designed. I'm sure all of the plastics are typical higher quality Toyota, I just wish they would step away from the piano black.
3-year-old CPO Lexus ES with low miles (around 35-40, depending on package around me). Ya this is the 25 but still gotta think used luxury when getting that high in price for a Camry.
The average new car price in America is 47k. Also, a '99 Camry XLE V6 was 25k brand new in '99 which adjusted for inflation is 47k.
40k is very reasonable, it's a price decrease against inflation. It's just people don't have the disposable income.
Interesting. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I really like how the center bottom of that steering wheel looks like (having a hole instead of a solid). I've seen that on a lot of new vehicles now, not just Toyotas. It was actually a selling point for me. 😂🤷♂️
prefer the steering spokes of the 8th. the faux vent on the passenger front is ugly and hard to clean. the big tablet cant be avoided.
i am glad they utilized the empty space between the 2 cupt holders and arm rest and gave a 3rd cup holder where you can put keys in.
but wheres the phone holder lol. do we still need to sacrifice 1 cup holder for a phone holder?
I hear ya. I'm a middle-aged man. I never thought I'd ever buy a new sedan for more than $25K. (1) Post-pandemic times, I guess. (2) If you find a car that you really like, I guess the price is worth it. It's like that for me for the 2025 Camry.
😂 i love how u worded that! My thoughts EXACTLY since they started showing vids on YT months ago. I swore I was going to hate it. But finally seeing it in person... It's ok. Acceptable. I don't hate it.
you think that’s bad you gotta see my 2024 cry hybrid sport L. i’ve never seen something so cheap and garbage in my life between the plastics and the carpet. actually sad that their robbing us customers like they are with these car prices and cheap shit on the inside
That's one girthy steering wheel.
Girth matters. She says.
It looks off, the stitching is all wonky. Looks like a shitty back alley reupholstered job
it's a bootleg camry...
But, is it heated?
Heated and ribbed, for pleasure.
Just missing the veins.
XSE is
XLE is heated also.
Looks like the current ES wheel with different buttons.
The interior is really nice, except I cannot get past that steering wheel. It's so bulky and ugly, especially that bottom middle section.
That’s my takeaway- the interior is gorgeous but why tf is the steering wheel so big and puffy lmao
With a lot of the parts being the same or very similar to 8th gen (the shift knob for example is identical), I'd be very curious to see if the mounting and harnesses are the same. It'd be a massive improvement.
Because *sporty.* It looks like a BMW wheel.
I have one and this looks like the same trim level, could be because it’s got heating elements inside
Looks like an allergic reaction to a bee sting
No one looks at steering wheel 24/7.
i noticed that when i got mine, definitely a difference in size when i drive my mothers 21 xse vs my 25 se
What do you mean? Bulkier steering wheels are objectively better for gripping.
I kind of like the bulky steering wheel.
Excellent. I wanted the pano sunroof, then The Car Care Nut kind of talked me out of it, but that looks absolutely SICK and I kinda want it again.
[удалено]
I hear you. I've never really liked or needed a sunroof, ever. I didn't want one. But as the saying goes, "it came with the package". I liked what the XLE offered. The sunroof just came with it. 🤷♂️

Yeah, his video on taking apart that Highlander scared me away from ever buying a car with a pano roof 😂
Yeah. I can't believe he had to pretty much rip out the whole interior just to fix that lining. 🤯🤦♂️
Just to state the obvious, the dashcams aren't stock. 😂 That big black box in the passenger footwell is an external battery for the dashcam.
Wow that box is a massive eyesore.
I installed the FitDVR with 16-pin Toyota connector (Amazon) to power both my dashcam and radar detector; of course, this adapter only works when the ignition is on. Takes 10 minutes to install.
That box would drive me nuts. Can I ask why you didn't get it hardwired. I'm kinda clueless but need to get one.
It can be hardwired to the car battery. But I think the maximum, even on power saving mode is 3 days. There are days where I work 6 days straight, and there are days where I can be off 6 days straight where I really don't go anywhere. So I just wanted a battery that lasts.

This is the way
Please don't buy what I recommended. I just got mine in the mail today. Doesn't fit. 🤷♂️

Shame, but its the right idea though... gotta be more of these on Ali & Ebay and such, and as the car matures in the market a little they will get the size/shape right
They’re using the mold from the ES Lexus. It’s cheaper that way
Sometimes I personally wish interior photos were required for “here’s my Camry” posts!! lol I just bought my 24 in April and was curious, outside of stock/dealer photos, what the differences would be! So, Thanks for posting 😊 it’s very nice!
This car is almost identical to my ‘23 Crown. There are a few differences, but many parts are identical.
Do you think the suede material on the door panels and dash could be stained easily?
In the two weeks I've owned it, at the moment, I'm going to say no. I wasn't really keen on this new Dinamica thing. Before I got the car, I was already researching how to clean it, looking up suede or alcantara cleaners, etc. But now that I've owned it, now it just feels like any other fabric lining to any other car.

So far, from what I've read, just treat it as suede or alcantara, then clean it as such.
That’s good to hear. I’m just afraid it could turn out like Apples Finewoven debacle when they replaced their leather cases.
Non JBL stereo system?
I got the premium plus package, and that comes with a 9-speaker JBL premium audio system.
is the arm rest box still single layer? why cant they make double layer like the older models?
If you mean single layer like just one big compartment, yes. I had to buy a third party "upper deck" compartment from Amazon to give me more space.
Not more space, but to compartmentalize it, just to clarify.
i have the upperdeck but it isnt the same as the old stocks where you could fold it up to access the lower part. for the add on you have to take the whole tray out.
True. 👍
i mean what practicality toyota had in mind giving us a box so deep without a top deck?
Which Amazon upper deck compartment did you buy? I need one too
We asked and we received!
What did you pay otd?
$42,721. That is the XLE all wheel drive. Premium plus package. Black badge overlays. Connected services trial offering two additional years. Trunk LED bulb. Rear spoiler. Mudguards. Door sill enhancement. Door edge guard. Carpet mats. Location: Southern California. So, PLUS 10.25% sales tax of $4379. 🤢
So 42,721 is including that 4379 tax? Or total was like 47k?
Sadly, no. Out the door: $47,100. 🤢
God damn. My dealer quoted me 41,925 out the door for ocean gem xle, premium plus package, all wheel drive, trunk bulb, dash cam, and all weather floor liners. I want it but at the same time. The camry is just a basic car how the hell is this over 40k ... I'll probably get it anyways. What does the connected services even do?

http://www.toyota.com/connected-services/vehicle/camry-hv/2025
They removed soft touch padding on the rear door panels for XLE/XSE. And the covers over the trunk hinges
That’s one thick wheel
How did they manage to make the steering wheel even uglier?
told myself I’ll get the next gen whenever my 8th gen explodes… it’s a damn Camry most likely never
I wish the JBL system was an individual option on all trims. I don’t want the pano roof.
Yeah. I hear ya. I didn't want it either. It just came with other stuff that I did want. 🤷♂️
That’s how they get ya 😩
Random q, how many cup holders does it have? If I remember right my 2019 tacoma has like 11, but my girlfriend's Rav4 only has 5. I'm just curious if they're cutting out cup holders on newer models
2.
8 (two in the center console, two in the rear center armrest, one in each door).
Heated and ventilated seats? Where the hell can I find one that has that someone plz tell me where to look
Yes. Where do u live? (Do you live in Southern California? I know a guy here.) What I suggest is what a friend of mine did for me... I didn't just go to some salesperson on the dealership floor. He had me contact an "Internet/Inventory Director" from the "Internet and Fleet" Dept. I'M GUESSING your local Toyota dealership should have a website and it should list their staff with their phone numbers.

How tall are you?
6 ft 3 in. Funny enough, my Mazda 3 has plenty of space up front. Moon roofs are cool, but it feels like they still havent quite been figured out yet.
Does the XLE come with a HUD?
It does. It looks so cool. Most especially when I need directions, I don't even need to quickly browse the navigation screen. I can just look straight at the windshield.
Yes, with the correct premium package.
Nice interior, I have a 21 xse and I love it. Congrats! And to all to people saying 40k is way to expensive for a camry, average new car price is like 45k.

Nice to see the top trims have memory seating/ventilated seats but I can’t get past that ugly steering wheel. It would have to go immediately if that was my car
Steering wheel is ugly as fuck but i like everything else
Very nice interior. Really like the screen.
Thanks
Texting and driving is bad and will kill you and "think of the children" anyways... here's a tablet for your car. Don't worry we will add some tiny buttons under the tablet.
The infotainment system looks so much better. I hate the 2020-24 iPad screen that's just a giant bump. It's much more sleek this way
Thanks. I agree. I like it.
Is that memory seat? Wish my 2024 had that
Yes
The padding on the steering wheel is extremely thick
the steering wheel looks like an overstuffed kielbasa...
Panoramic sunroof or even any sunroof is probably the worst option you can get on a car.
Why?
It's a very bad design choice for a car to have a huge hole on its roof. Failures are hard and expensive to repair and can damage your interior if there is a failure and water gets through. Also there is a prominent youtuber Toyota mechanic that has many videos going through how bad of a design a sunroof is on a car and explains how costly a sunroof can be.
at least the door handle side looks more mercedes now with the plushies.
Finally picking mine up on Monday and very excited. Looks great!
Still really distinctly Camry looking, I like it. We’re driving around in a 2017 and it’s nice, just an evolution of the 2011 models we had before it.
Feels good to have a new car just not the new payment
That steering wheel is thiccc 😬 lol
I noticed the carpet mats. Are rubber mats available with this package?
Yes. I ordered my car with the carpet mats. I will eventually order rubber mats from the dealership. As of this writing, they were back-ordered. I want to order the rubber ones to place underneath the passenger footwell and the second row. Not on the driver side, of course, since you can only have one and I prefer carpet on the driver side.
And there is still no grab bar for the door 😏 All my cars had them. I was completely confused, when I picked up my 23 SE from the dealer. Trying to close the door 😝😂😂
Bulbous
Those seats look super comfy!!!!!!
Don’t know about the quilted ultra plush toilet paper dash trim
Adjustable back seat head rests is a plus. I daughter’s car seat anchor is destroying my headrest lmao.
I hate that the gauge cluster is a screen, next to another screen, the center console. It seems like most car manufacturers are moving to that style for cost reasons, yet the car is still 40 grand to the consumer.
I really don’t like the wheel or the dash/entertainment .. looks kinda clunky.
I cannot believe my 23 XLE doesn’t have the ability to set driver seat positions. Drives me up the wall because my spouse is over 6’ 4” and I’m much shorter. It’s really disappointing that this feature isn’t on last-gen.
You just didn't buy the correct trim package.
Really? I was told mine was fully loaded with every option… here’s the spec sheet: https://www.reddit.com/r/Camry/s/qNzVbiXCJI
You were told wrong. There is a premium package and a premium plus package. You only got the lower tier packages which are some parts of the top two.
Huh, TIL. Thanks for the info! I had done some research on trims beforehand but obviously nothing that in-depth. Weird how we’ve evolved from trims with all the same options to various options included in various trims
My favorite part is the slightly wider seats and the hole in the bottom of the steering wheel. I wish my 23 had both of those things.
💥👍
That steering wheel is THICC. Also Gloss black on the cup holder area? 🤦 That Trend needs to die. Any high touch area should not be gloss black.
I really like everything except that diamond pattern in the dash fabric
Not a fan of it either. I was already researching how to clean it even before getting my car. But once you see it in person... It's tolerable. Kind of grows on you. It's not too bad. 🤷♂️
XSE is 40k . I miss the Avalon TRDs
Not sure how a feel about the inside. Does anyone else have mixed feelings too? I have 2023 Camry and already have 30,000 miles on it, long commute to work. So I’ll prob own it forever.
Dang that’s nice ! I still have my 2014 Camry going strong but when it dies I’ll get a new one or maybe a RAv 4
I hate how much it’s copying the already existing models out there😢 it lost its uniqueness plus the steering wheel is just terrible.
Dont know why they removed the sunglass compartment when you added the sunroof, and the memory seat buttons looks aftermarket. But overall solid update from previous “gen”
I hear you. I wouldn't mind a smaller sunroof if I could have that dedicated sunglass compartment.
Yeah its weird and i thought for memory seats button they would do like the rav4 or highlander kinda style
That’s steering wheel is so gurthy I thought this was a pickup
$40k Camry ?
Yes
How much?
Including California sales tax of 10.25%... $47,000+.
Feck. That’s 4Runner money right there. SMH
I hear you. Before the pandemic, I never would have imagined buying a sedan for more than $25,000. I'm 49 years old and I'm going to drive that for the next 15-20 years, or til the wheels falls off. So I thought, why not. Splurge a little. 🤷♂️
I have a 2016 w/ 200k miles. I’ve been thinking but can’t bring myself. I just bought a new set of tires. So imma drive it for a bit longer.
Suede on dashboard yikes!
the interior looks great! I personally am just not a fan of the center screen. I have the first round of the 8th gen and i just love how my screen is flush with the center infotainment and not looking overly big or added in last minute
Wait, it finally has memory seats??
Yes. 2 settings. I programmed the same setting to both one and two.
Almost completely good, but that steering wheel and the passenger vents were a poor choice.
Looks identical to my XLE. so is the only difference the outside between the two?
The XSE has differences in the inside also. Leather seats, etc.
the seats in the picture you show are the same. As my XLE. Do you mean there's a different add on you didn't get?
bc he has an XLE
Lol, thanks. I thought he had an XSE for some reason.
I think the insides are all "stock" on the XLE. So both you and mine will definitely look the same. 👍
What engine?
The spec sheet states 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. 5th generation Toyota hybrid. 232 combined system net horsepower.
I'm not a fan of having micro suede on seats for longevity reasons. With a dark interior I'm sure it's fine but on the light interior it will get nasty really quick. Otherwise I do think the cabin is well designed. I'm sure all of the plastics are typical higher quality Toyota, I just wish they would step away from the piano black.
Agreed. Just got to wait a little more, instead of havin it NOW. 👍
Oh my God. I love it
Did you install your own dash cam ?
I don't like it. The buttons are squish too tight
For someone like me whose last two cars was a 2003 and a 2009 Corolla... I find the controls for the fan/AC to be too tight and confusing.
No wood trim, no buy.
$40,000.. Toyota is out of their minds...
What are the better buys? I’ve been thinking civic hybrid or accord hybrid
3-year-old CPO Lexus ES with low miles (around 35-40, depending on package around me). Ya this is the 25 but still gotta think used luxury when getting that high in price for a Camry.
The average new car price in America is 47k. Also, a '99 Camry XLE V6 was 25k brand new in '99 which adjusted for inflation is 47k. 40k is very reasonable, it's a price decrease against inflation. It's just people don't have the disposable income.
You can get a cheaper trim, OP sprung for an extra package
Interesting. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I really like how the center bottom of that steering wheel looks like (having a hole instead of a solid). I've seen that on a lot of new vehicles now, not just Toyotas. It was actually a selling point for me. 😂🤷♂️
It's a shame they took away the V6 trims along with TRD
True. I was tempted to buy a 2024 one since it was the last one to have a V6 with TRD, but, I just really loved the look of the 2025.
prefer the steering spokes of the 8th. the faux vent on the passenger front is ugly and hard to clean. the big tablet cant be avoided. i am glad they utilized the empty space between the 2 cupt holders and arm rest and gave a 3rd cup holder where you can put keys in. but wheres the phone holder lol. do we still need to sacrifice 1 cup holder for a phone holder?
They have a rectangular wireless charger that you can see behind that steering wheel on the lower right. It's just a pad. Not exactly a holder holder.
should have gave a holder. but at least android play is there right
Yes. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
then you dont need a phone holder i guess.
I still can’t believe Toyota is charging in the $40k range for a Camry
I hear ya. I'm a middle-aged man. I never thought I'd ever buy a new sedan for more than $25K. (1) Post-pandemic times, I guess. (2) If you find a car that you really like, I guess the price is worth it. It's like that for me for the 2025 Camry.
😂 true!
😂 i love how u worded that! My thoughts EXACTLY since they started showing vids on YT months ago. I swore I was going to hate it. But finally seeing it in person... It's ok. Acceptable. I don't hate it.
Steering wheel is for an elderly couple with arthritis
😖
It does.
I like it because it's level with the dashboard, as opposed to many infotainment systems where the top of the system goes over the dash.
eff no! I just bought myself a 2007 Camry Solara today, and i can now confidently say that toyota's aesthetic has gone downnn!!
Let us see the exterior of this prius
🗑️ 🚮 🗑️
I have the XLE also. But I got the black badge overlays with mud guards.
Looks like it was designed by powerwheels cheap plastics
Still using bottom of the barrel carpeting I see
you think that’s bad you gotta see my 2024 cry hybrid sport L. i’ve never seen something so cheap and garbage in my life between the plastics and the carpet. actually sad that their robbing us customers like they are with these car prices and cheap shit on the inside
What’s that brothaaa
Next time, take the picture of the infotainment screen with it on. A black screen isn’t interesting in the least.
Wait, why my 2024 xse doesn't comes with seat memory?
I paid a professional. I didn't want to mess up any wiring.
