2025 Toyota Camry SE - pressroom.toyota.com

#2

2025 Toyota Camry

The Camry provides a mostly positive tech experience and that starts with safety. No matter what Camry one buys, they’ll get a comprehensive safety suite including adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, lane-keep assist, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. That’s excellent and we’re eager to see how it scores with the NHTSA and IIHS later this year.

2025 Kia K5

Kia offers the 2025 K5 with more value than ever before. It’s available in four trim levels with two engine choices and two gearboxes with none that miss the mark. We especially enjoy the GT which includes a 290 hp turbocharged engine and a panoramic sunroof. Kia also includes more standard features than in previous years including a full safety tech suite and a flashy 12.3-inch infotainment system.

2025 Mazda 3

With a fuel-sipping base engine and optional peppy turbo, the Mazda3 is for the person who wants a sedan to drive the kids around but doesn’t want to default to a Toyota. A real car enthusiast’s choice, that’s for sure.

2025 Toyota Prius

Owners of hybrids report generally high satisfaction with their vehicles and in the case of the fifth-gen Prius, it’s easy to see why. The relatively incredible fuel efficiency is reason enough to get excited about owning a hybrid. Factor in the reasonable price points, options for a plug-in version with genuinely useful electric driving range, and those sleek lines, and you have a hybrid people want to own.
