I think the hybrid is so much better than the regular version. Before, we were getting 27 MPG and the acceleration wasn’t great in the 2023 regular model. But with the 2024 hybrid, it’s up to 41 MPG and performance is better. Enjoy .

Thanks! I need to reset the trip meter, but the lifetime average shows 33.7 mpg. Can’t wait to see how it performs .

I get about 45 MPG in summer, with a perfect 50:50 mix of city and highway driving. It’s almost flat, no hills. In winter, it drops to around 38 MPG for some reason.
@Landyn
I live in Southern California, so lots of hills and valleys. I’ll reset the trip meter soon to see how my numbers turn out.
@Landyn
Could be the heater and the winter gas blend.
@Moe
Wow, I’m really excited to get mine now after hearing this .
Nice ride .
How much did you pay for it? I have the LE model and am considering upgrading to a higher trim.

$35k plus taxes and fees. It was a used one with 45k miles. I got a discount since a relative works at the dealership. I was checking car listings every day, looking at Camry, RAV4, and Avalon hybrids. For a fully-loaded 2025 Camry XSE hybrid, I was looking at about $42k plus tax.
Edit: This car was only available for a day before I bought it. If I’d waited longer, it might have been sold.

Guess I’ll keep my LE forever then. I paid about 32k for mine in late 2022, it’s a 2023 hybrid.

The price was similar to KBB’s private party value, so I think it was a good deal. I’m loving the Limited’s features, especially coming from a 24-year-old Camry.
I got a 2023 hybrid limited three weeks ago with 13k miles, lucky me. I would’ve loved your color combo (the silver exterior and that two-tone interior!) but had to settle for a dark metallic exterior and dark interior.
You’re going to love it. I switched from a 06 4runner to this, and it’s amazing.
@Onyx
I was initially looking at a new 2025 Camry XSE, but it was much more expensive for something with similar specs. I didn’t like lighter interiors at first, but I’m actually liking this combo a lot. The car was obviously well maintained and kept in a garage.
I got lucky too, because as soon as I saw it was available, I asked my relative at the dealership to keep me updated. Had I waited longer, someone else might have bought it. Loving it so far, definitely worth it. Plus my sister has a 2019 LE AWD, and she’s a little jealous now!
She’s a beautiful ride. Congratulations .

Thank you! I’m excited to own a RAV4. After two Camrys, it’s going to take some getting used to driving an SUV, but so far, I love it .
