2 Answers
Here are the specific differences between Teana and Camry: 1. Body Dimensions: The latest top-end version of Teana has a body length, width, and height of 4901mm, 1850mm, and 1447mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. The latest top-end version of Camry measures 4885mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with the same wheelbase of 2825mm. 2. Price: The official price of the top-end Teana is slightly cheaper than that of the top-end Camry. 3. Powertrain Configuration: Teana is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 243Ps, maximum power of 179kW, and maximum torque of 371N·m, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 8 gears). Camry, on the other hand, comes with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 178Ps, maximum power of 131kW, and maximum torque of 221N·m, matched with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. Additionally, it includes an electric motor with a maximum horsepower of 120Ps and maximum power of 88kW.
When choosing a car, I prioritize cost-effectiveness and practical needs. The Teana usually has a lower starting price, more promotional offers, and is tens of thousands cheaper than the Camry for similarly equipped versions, with lower maintenance costs in the long run. Although the Camry is slightly more expensive, it has a higher resale value, resulting in less loss when reselling. Both hybrid versions have very low fuel consumption, costing less than 3 cents per kilometer in the city. In terms of driving experience: the Teana has softer suspension, making it less bumpy over speed bumps; the Camry has a heavier steering wheel, offering better stability at high speeds. Safety configurations are similar, with both having well-equipped airbag systems. I recommend first determining your budget—for example, the Teana is sufficient under 200,000 yuan; otherwise, the Camry is more worthwhile in the long run. I ultimately chose the Teana and invested the savings in car interior decorations.
