TOYOTA CAMRY VS COROLLA

Toyota Camry vs. Toyota Corolla: What's the difference between these two sedans?

When shopping for a new car in the greater Williamsport area, it's important to consider all your options carefully. But if you're in the market for a new sedan these days, then there are only two nameplates deserving of top spots on your wish list: the new Toyota Corolla and Toyota Camry. These cars have been mainstays of the Toyota portfolio for decades now. The Toyota Camry has roots back in the early 1980's, while the Toyota Corolla can trace its heritage all the way back to the 1960's. With that kind of pedigree, it's no wonder drivers from Bloomsburg to Sunbury consistently rate these two sedans as some of the best value propositions on the market. But which is the best fit for your lifestyle? Read on to learn more about the unique advantages of the new Toyota Camry and Toyota Corolla to determine which of these two sedans is best for you.

Pricing

When you come to Ciocca Toyota of Muncy, you'll find competitive deals across our new Toyota portfolio. Whether you opt for a new Toyota lease, a car loan, or take advantage of our new Toyota incentives, our team is committed to making it as easy and affordable as possible to get into the new Toyota of your dreams.

That said, both the new Toyota Camry and Toyota Corolla are some of the most competitively priced entry points in our new Toyota portfolio. And while pricing can vary depending upon the trims and option packages you opt for, the Toyota Corolla tends to clock in at a slightly lower price point than the Toyota Camry across its trim range. So, if you're on a budget or looking for a cost-effective first car for the teen driver in your family, you should choose the new Toyota Corolla. On the other hand, if you're willing to spend a bit more for a bit more space and feature sophistication, the new Toyota Camry may just be for you.

Exterior Design

The most notable difference between the new Toyota Corolla and Toyota Camry is their dimensions. The Toyota Corolla is a compact car, and can be had in either a sedan or hatchback body style. The Toyota Camry is a midsize car, and only has a sedan body style available.

Now, as a compact car, the new Toyota Corolla is a bit more flexible with its design, and with a smaller curbside footprint, it makes it easier to negotiate its way through heavy traffic or parallel park in smaller streetside spaces in the greater Williamsport area.

However, with a longer wheelbase, larger wheels, and a slightly sportier sense of style, the new Toyota Camry is plenty compelling in its own right, so you can rest assured it'll turn heads on the streets of Muncy, PA.

Performance

Both the new Toyota Corolla and Toyota Camry boast conventional and hybrid powertrain options. The Toyota Corolla is slightly more fuel efficient overall thanks to its smaller stature, so if you're looking for something that'll help you seriously cut down on your commuting costs when traveling to work in nearby Montoursville, PA, this compact car will prove more than suitable.

That said, the Toyota Camry boasts better than average fuel economy returns in its own right with its standard four-cylinder engine. However, if you're in the market for a midsize car that's more fun to drive, the Toyota Camry absolutely excels with its available 301-horsepower V6 engine, making it the more powerful of these two models overall.

Interior Design

As you might expect from the fact that the Toyota Camry is larger than the Toyota Corolla on the outside, there's some substantial differences in size on the inside. Both offer roughly the same head and legroom up front, but the Toyota Corolla offers a little bit less head and legroom than the Toyota Camry in the rear seating.

Both the Toyota Camry and Toyota Corolla can still seat up to five passengers, so if you're a campus commuter at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania or a couple sharing a car, you'll do just fine with the new Toyota Corolla. However, small families from the greater Sunbury area may appreciate the extra back seat space of the Toyota Camry for car seats, booster seats, or just a bit of extra room to stretch out on families road trips. Plus, it doesn't hurt that the Toyota Camry has two extra cubic-feet of trunk space over the Toyota Corolla, making it roomier for luggage, groceries, and other things you might need on the go.

Additionally, it's worth noting that if you're looking for the rich feel of leather seating in your next car, you'll only find it with the new Toyota Camry. The Toyota Corolla offers synthetic leather upholstery on its top end trim, but if you don't care about that, the standard SofTex® upholstery that it comes equipped with its durable, comfortable, and stain-resistant, so you won't have to worry if you accidentally spill a bit of your morning coffee on your commute to work.

Safety

Toyota has long been renowned for its safety innovations, and the Toyota Camry and Toyota Corolla carry on that legacy. Both models have earned accolades from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, rating the 2023 Toyota Corolla as a Top Safety Pick, and the 2023 Toyota Camry as a Top Safety Pick+

However, since the Toyota Corolla was redesigned more recently than the Toyota Camry, it comes with the latest version of the Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 suite. The Toyota Camry has the Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ as part of its equipment list.

Now, both of these systems feature roughly the same array of technologies, ranging from the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection to conveniences like Lane Tracing Assist and Road Sign Assist. The only major differentiator is that the Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 on the Toyota Corolla has slightly higher resolution front-facing cameras that offer a great degree of coverage, and it can receive over the air updates. However, the Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ on the Toyota Camry has a proven track record of safety in its own right, and it's easy update when you visit our Toyota service center here in Muncy, PA.
