Toyota Camry vs Toyota Corolla

The Toyota Corolla and the Toyota Camry have long been class leaders in the small to midsize sedan sector. They’re both highly affordable, economical to drive with great fuel economy, very reliable, and dependable overall. Both have seen body style redesigns that have moved them from a plain and sensible look to a sleeker, sportier design.

But which one will drivers in Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, or Palm Coast like better? As with any car, it depends largely on your preferences. Discover the similarities and differences between the 2017 Toyota Camry and the 2017 Toyota Corolla, and decide which is the best sedan for you.

2017 Toyota Camry

The 2017 Toyota Camry is a midsize sedan with six gas trim levels along with three hybrid trims. It’s powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder, which delivers 178 horsepower driven by a six-speed automatic transmission and delivers an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 25 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the highway.

The hybrid model, on the other hand, delivers up to an EPA-estimated 39 MPG in the city, and 43 MPG on the highway. It’s got a spacious and luxurious interior, providing a high-end feel and comfort.

2017 Toyota Corolla

More affordable than the Camry, the 2017 Toyota Corolla is still a midsize sedan, but is actually smaller than the Camry. It comes in four different trim levels, which are driven by a 1.8L, four-cylinder engine that puts out 132 horsepower. The sole exception is the LE Eco trim, which gives you 140 horsepower.

At the base trim level, the car is driven by a four-speed automatic. The other three levels are driven by a CVT. The Corolla delivers outstanding fuel efficiency, up to an EPA-estimated 30 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on the highway with the Eco trim. It also features sharp and sleek lines for a sporty drive.

While it’s less luxurious than the Camry, the Corolla still presents an exceptional level of comfort, a smooth ride, and plenty of punch when you hit the accelerator. It’s a very solid choice for an affordable sedan, which is why it’s one of the more popular cars on the road.

Which One Is Better?

It’s hard to deliver a verdict on which is the better vehicle because both cars fulfill a different niche. The Camry is an affordable sedan, which delivers a luxury driving experience without the luxury price tag or badge. However, the Corolla provides excellent comfort and a reputation for reliability and drivability at a price tag that isn’t going to break the bank.
