Last week, Toyota flew me out to San Diego, California to test a handful of its newest and most exciting products. There was one vehicle, though, that many of my colleagues were willing to write off before they’d even seen it, and that’s the new 2025 Toyota Camry. I had a chance to test both comfort and sport trims — LE and XSE, respectively — and found that this ninth-generation machine is almost unrecognizable compared to its predecessors because it’s just a lot more fun.

Don’t let the Camry haters get you down. This car is, at the very least, worth your reconsideration, and I’ll help you break down which version most appeals to you.

The Base-Model LE

The first Camry I got my hands on during Toyota’s marathon event was an LE AWD with delicious Ocean Gem paint, the base-level all-wheel-drive model. If your current perceptions of Camrys lead you to believe that this sedan is exclusively driven by seniors on the way to the podiatrist, then this is the trim that’ll most match those perceptions — though there’s still plenty of great stuff that I’ll get into in further slides.

The Top-Level, Sporty XSE

I followed up my spin in the LE trim with the XSE AWD. This is one of Toyota’s sporty trims, and it’s also the overall top-tier trim you can get for the 2025 Camry. You’ll probably notice a few things straight away that set this trim apart from the LE, such as the webbed grille, the beefier air intakes, and the bigger black-and-gray finished wheels.

One of the primary differences, looks-wise, between the Camry’s comfort and sport trims come in the form of the grille. The comfort trims keep things a little more laid back and nondescript.

The top-tier sport trims, however, opt for a color-matched, webbed grille. It’s a really sleek look and serves as a nice standout accent.

Opt for a base-model Camry, and you’ll enjoy cloth seats and woven fabric interior accents. Move up on the comfort scale and you’ll trade in cloth for real and synthetic leather.

Aside from the obviously sharper color, you’ll also notice the sport trims blend real and synthetic leather with more aggressive contrasting accents and metal pedals.

For the higher-end sport trims, you get chrome accenting in an otherwise very similar command center. The big differences are the 12.3-inch digital gauge clusters and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen.

On your sport sedan, you can opt for a two-tone roof, pictured here in the black metallic shade. It gives you a more chiseled look.

The Camry LE is a lovely little car, but I’ll be honest: the XSE is far more handsome thanks to the extra attention that went into sculpting a more athletic body. Let’s dig a little deeper into those particularly interesting details.

The comfort trims have softer, wavier stitching in the seats — more like ocean waves than the sharper designs you see here on the sport trim.

Toyota calls this color “Cockpit Red,” and I’m firmly obsessed with it.
