Toyota Camry and Its Rivals: A Comparison
The 2015 Toyota Camry is continuing a tradition set more than a decade ago. It has earned the top spot in car sales. Certainly there are many competitors that want to push it off its pedestal. Kelley Blue Book recently made some comparisons that may explain why the Camry remains at the top of its class. When you want to do some hands-on research, please schedule a test drive at McKinnon Toyota dealer serving Birmingham AL.
Chrysler Comparison
According to Kelley Blue Book, the Chrysler 200’s redesign left one thing out. It didn’t change the fact that the Chrysler 200 sedan has a cramped backseat. As the auto analyst noted in its comparison, the Camry remains a leader in headroom and legroom. The Toyota also has more trunk space. This size disparity demonstrates that two cars with similarities in price and class are often quite different.
Honda Comparison
While Toyota improved the material and style quality of the Camry during this mid-generation refresh, the Accord is essentially the same as the 2014 edition. Toyota’s Entune system was praised by Kelley Blue Book as easier than the Accord’s dual-screen system. Find your best deal on the Camry.
V6 Powertrain Differences
The 2015 Toyota Camry also offers a smarter V6 engine choice, according to Kelley Blue Book. Specifically, it has a fuel economy that challenges four-cylinder rivals such as the Subaru Legacy and the Mazda6. Kelley Blue Book test drivers reported that they got 27.5 mpg/combined rather than the published 25 mpg/combined.
