2 Answers
The differences between the Avalon and the Camry are as follows: 1. Space: The Avalon has more space than the Camry. The Avalon is larger than the Camry by a full size, with an additional 45mm in wheelbase, and the rear seating space is also more outstanding. 2. Target audience: The Camry is for younger drivers while the Avalon is more stable. The Camry is positioned as a young family car, while the Avalon is positioned as a business car. 3. Powertrain: The Camry has three powertrain options, which are a 2.0L engine with a CVT transmission, a 2.5L engine with an 8AT transmission, and a 2.5L engine with an electric motor and an eCVT transmission. The Avalon has two powertrain options, which are a 2.5L engine with an electric motor and an eCVT transmission, and a 2.5L engine with an 8AT transmission.
The difference between the Avalon and Camry is huge! I commute daily and love studying Toyota cars. The Avalon is generally larger and more luxurious, with especially spacious rear seating that can comfortably fit three people, and a trunk that can hold several suitcases. The Camry, on the other hand, has a more moderate size, making parking and turning much easier, but its rear legroom is slightly less. The engines are basically the same, both fuel-efficient, but the Avalon offers better sound insulation, making highway driving quieter, while the Camry is more agile and nimble in the city. Price-wise, the Avalon is tens of thousands more expensive, with much better interior materials like leather seats and touchscreen as standard, whereas the base Camry feels more plastic and requires upgrades. Maintenance costs are similar, both benefiting from Toyota's reliable system. I think the Avalon is better suited for families with a higher budget or those who frequently travel long distances, while the Camry is more affordable and the preferred choice for most as a family car. Test drive both to see if you prioritize space or daily convenience.
