This week, we share our early impressions of the 2025 Toyota Camry. While Toyota didn't revolutionize the 2025 model, it gets a big powertrain update, as every Camry will only come as a hybrid. We discuss why this change shouldn't scare longtime Camry lovers and why Toyota's reliability record should boost buyers' confidence. Plus, we answer questions about legacy CR vehicle tests and EV home chargers.
