Deciding which sedan to settle for in the Toyota lineup can be quite difficult, considering that the pricing, styling and size are quite similar. To help you make an informed decision and know which tops the chart, we’ll go over the styling, features, and more, of the Toyota Corolla and Toyota Camry. Keep reading!
Styling & Design
The Toyota Corolla comes in both sedan and hatchback form. Both the sedan and hatchback follow a similar design ethos to the Camry, with large front intake grilles and squinty headlights. The Corolla XSE hatchback gets its own sporty touches, like larger alloy wheels and a rear hatch spoiler. The Corolla is also available as a hybrid in sedan form, which can be identified by its own unique front fascia treatment and other subtle touches.
The Toyota Camry, unlike the Corolla, has an aggressive and sporty front end with a large grille. The side is fairly pedestrian by comparison, while the rear continues the youthful ethos with somewhat narrow taillights and subtle, integrated trunk spoiler.
Interior
The Corolla sedan has front legroom of 42.3 inches in the front and 41.4 inches in the rear, along with maximum cargo capacity of 13 cu-ft. On the other hand, the Camry has comfortable seating for five adult passengers and boasts a maximum total cargo capacity of 15.1 cu-ft. Front leg room measures in at 42.1 inches, while rear leg room is 38 inches.
You can also fold the rear seats down 60/40 to allow more room for longer items in the trunk. The Camry also offers bright red leather seats, which really helps give it some personality.
Powertrains & Fuel Economy
The Toyota Corolla Sedan comes with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. The 1.8-liter produces more power than the 132 hp and 128 lb-ft in older modes. The engine most Camry buyers will go for is the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder. This engine makes 203 hp at 6,600 rpm and 184 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm.
An 8-speed automatic is the only available transmission option and sends power to the front wheels. The base model returns an EPA certified 34 MPG combined, along with 41 MPG highway and 29 MPG city.
Buyers may also step up to the available 3.5-liter V6 engine, which makes 301 hp from 6,600 RPM and 267 lb-ft of torque from 4,700 RPM. The V6 is also paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission sending power to the front wheels. It will return an EPA certified 26 MPG combined in the Camry XSE, along with 32 MPG highway and 22 MPG city. Toyota does not offer all-wheel drive on the Camry or Corolla yet, but they might get AWD in the future.
Bottom Line
The Toyota Camry is one of the best-selling sedans in America simply because it is affordable, reliable, comfortable, and spacious. Nevertheless, the Corolla also offers excellent performance.
