BARRETT JUNCTION, Calif. – It’s been common for multiple Camry generations to share a platform, so it shouldn’t be surprising or disappointing that the 2025 Toyota Camry shares the same TNGA set of platform components as its predecessor. It definitely shouldn’t be surprising considering how similar they look, apart from its attractive new face that boasts a sleek LED headlight arrangement and a grille area below filled with a selection of different mesh patterns depending on trim level.
Fuel economy is an eye-popping 51 miles per gallon combined for the base LE and its balloony high-profile tires. The other trim levels get 47 mpg combined, while all-wheel drive drops each trim’s estimate by 1 mpg combined. OK, so the XSE drops to 44 mpg combined, but that’s still crazy good. On the subject of handling, though, the Camry once again offers two distinctive dynamic flavors: the cushy LE and sporty SE, with those with an X at the beginning signifying more equipment and fancier finishings. Although the LE became far less of a marshmallow last generation, it sure seems like Toyota widened the ride/handling gap between the LE and SE this time around when it re-tuned the chassis.
The interior design gets an overhaul even if dimensions are largely cut-and-paste. The dash was redesigned for the 8- or 12.3-inch touchscreen to fit more seamlessly atop it, but Toyota thankfully wasn’t baited by the cost-cutting allure of doing away with buttons and knobs for climate and other key controls. One quirk of the design, though: From the driver’s perspective, the screens seem to be pointing at the passenger seat. They aren’t; it’s just a weird optical illusion.
Toyota apparently lengthened and reshaped the front seat cushions, while also changing the foam density. I can’t say I noticed without a previous generation on hand, but those sound like updates that would make seats more comfortable. The back seat is just as spacious as it was before, but it still has fixed headrest bumps, which aren’t ideal for certain child seat rear anchor straps.
