+1 for hybrids over EVs. Right now the Camry LE Hybrid is priced around $30K, and the higher end XLE Hybrid is priced at $34K.
In other news Car & Driver did a road test of a non-hybrid 2024 Camry SE 4-cyl. They got 45mpg on the highway, and I believe their highway test involves driving around 75mph. IMO the regular ICE 4-cyl Camry is the real bargain.
My 2021 bottom of the line Corolla gets 26. Predicated reliability is extremely high. Boring car, but $23K out the door new, does the job.
I call her “TWMBC” The World’s Most Boring Car”, but in a Good Way; having had higher performance big blocks and German cars, reliability is the ultimate feature, at least for me.
IMO the regular ICE 4-cyl Camry is the real bargain.
