Most car manufacturers with each generation change their cars, making them even larger and more respectable, as well as equip them with more and more electronic systems. Toyota is a good example of this trend - all of its models, from compact hatchbacks to compact hatchbacks, were previously much smaller. Moreover, this "growth" in different models Toyota is uneven - it turns out that the cars are getting close in parameters. That is why the idea of \u200b\u200bfinding out which car is better: Camry or Corolla does not seem controversial now, since the difference in length between them is only 20 centimeters. Let's check which car Toyota is better suitable for everyday use.
Exterior
Massive most often attracts the attention of Russian businessmen, as well as people over 40, who strive for stability and confidence. However, after the change of generations appearance The Camry is controversial because of its many disparate design elements. Dynamic front end Toyota Camry It does not match the heavy profile, and the small spoiler on the trunk lid is completely bewildering, since it looks alien. The best perspective for a mid-size Toyota sedan is from the side, since in this regard the car looks extremely solid and respectable. Unlike the previous generation Toyota Camry, new car looks angular, which also violates the harmony of the car's appearance - it lacks the integrity, completeness that we are used to seeing in the products of the Japanese car industry.
But, on the contrary, it received a more harmonious look in comparison with previous generation... The long, complex headlights are ideally matched to the curved grille and the large cutout in the lower bumper. And the angularity of the body to the face Toyota Corollabecause, unlike the Camry, it is very difficult to find smooth lines in it. Rear lights they look just great - their shape is no less complex than that of the Corolla's front lighting, and they are connected with a wide chrome strip. Only the large rear bumper of the Toyota Corolla looks controversial, which does not match its dynamic appearance.
Comfort and equipment
Of course, the junior model of the company cannot argue with Toyota Camry on equipment. The basic set of equipment for modification with a four-cylinder engine includes:
- ABS, BAS, ESP;
- Six airbags;
- Cruise control and parking sensors;
- Rear view camera;
- Multimedia complex with an 8-inch screen;
- Two-zone climate control;
- Automatic seat adjustment.
If we are talking about a person who buys a Toyota Camry to drive with a hired driver, then the car will seem incredibly comfortable to him and able to predict his every desire. The rear sofa is wide and can even accommodate three adults, and two in a Toyota Camry will be so comfortable that they can sleep for hours on end.
However, the driver of Toyota Camry should not count on such convenience, because the seat height barely reaches the shoulder blades of an average person. As a result, the shoulders remain tense, which does not at all contribute to focusing on the road. To the ergonomics of the center console and a beautiful instrument panel toyota panels Camry has no complaints, although the front panel trim is far from top level. The wood panels and leather upholstery turn out to be inexpensive plastic, and when ordering a Camry with a light interior, they are overly conspicuous, distracting a person from driving. But in dark colors toyota salon Camry looks quite harmonious, although the very first touch of cheap plastic destroys the illusion of luxury.
Compared to the Camry, the Toyota Corolla's interior looks very poor - the chairs with combined upholstery, a high-raised narrow front panel and a small center console immediately catch the eye. In addition, almost nothing from the list of equipment above can be found here - the owner of the Corolla will have to be content with only a simple multimedia system with a 6-inch screen, air conditioning, 4 airbags and ABS. In the decoration used inexpensive materials, but the interior of Toyota Corolla is "honest" - there is no imitation of leather and natural wood.
The back of the Corolla is, as expected, cramped - tall people prop up the front seats with their knees, and also keep the ceiling on their heads. The five of them can sit in a Toyota Corolla only if the rear sofa is completely reserved for children. A better situation lies ahead, although tall people should not seek comfort in a compact Toyota, as they will be hampered by an excessively low seat cushion. But the profile of the backs can be called ideal - it provides good support for the shoulders, shoulder blades and lower back. In general, Toyota Corolla is perceived as a more harmonious car, although its belonging to budget class visible to the naked eye.
Checking on the road
It is definitely impossible to say who behaves better on the road - Toyota Corolla or Toyota Camry. The Camry's powerful powertrain gives the heavy car excellent driving dynamics, although the driver feels the car doesn't accelerate any faster than the Corolla. This is due to the excessively rigid gas pedal damper, as well as the Toyota Camry gearbox, calculated. As a result, the mid-size Toyota sedan behaves just fine on the track, without annoying the driver with jerks when accelerating or dumping gas, but you should be careful with sharp accelerations and overtaking in the city. Despite such automatic settings, Toyota Camry cannot be called economical - in the city the average fuel consumption is 10-12 liters per 100 km.
If we compare the two cars in terms of suspension settings, the Camry will definitely win in terms of ride comfort. A large Toyota sedan flies by without looking, most of the pits and bumps in the road, not to mention cracks and other minor defects. Only speed bumps, open hatches and deep potholes can shake Toyota Camry's confidence. However, such comfort comes at the price of handling - the steering wheel of the car does not feel the proper return force, and it carries out the driver's commands with a noticeable delay. In addition, when cornering, the Toyota Camry rolls heavily, forcing to slow down, and on long waves of asphalt it sways, causing unpleasant sensations for passengers.
When assessing the dynamics of the Toyota Corolla, the same effect works as in the old Zhiguli - because of the greater noise and jerks, acceleration seems more dynamic, although in reality the car lags behind Camry from the first second. Although at the moment of launch, you can see that Corolla takes the lead, because its continuously variable variator does not create the same delays as a hydromechanical "automatic". The compact Toyota's transmission is very well tuned - the car responds quickly to gas and allows the driver to go for dynamic overtaking without worrying about the power reserve. Moreover, the variator on the Corolla is devoid of the traditional problem for such units - it uses "virtual" gears, and does not maintain constant engine speed, annoying the driver with annoying noise.

It is also very difficult to say which is better - the softness of the Camry chassis or the moderate stiffness of the Corolla suspension. The youngest toyota model it is much better controlled and does not allow any rolls, but there is no talk of uncompromising comfort in this case. When driving through large cracks in road surface the steering wheel of Toyota Corolla begins to twitch, and on large irregularities the car simply bounces. For the sake of fairness, it should be said that in most cases the car does not annoy with suspension breakdowns or sudden thrusts of passengers, but large pits are not so rare. In a relationship driving performance one thing can be said: Toyota Corolla rides on its own money: better than many competitors, but at the same time it does not create the comfort that Camry gives its owner.
It's not just size
The result of the comparison may be the conclusion that the car is not large enough to become solid and comfortable. Of course on toyota side The Corolla has great looks, a well-tuned drivetrain, and an economical engine, but in terms of convenience and capacity it falls short of the larger sedan. But the Toyota Camry cannot be called ideal either - its front seats will seem comfortable only to short people, and the design can be called tasteless. Also, count on high consumption fuel, rarely decreasing to 10 l / 100 km. Toyota Camry is a car for those who want peace of mind, self-confidence and safety, but Toyota Corolla is well suited for those who appreciate driving qualities and maneuverability in the city.

Good day everyone! I am faced with a choice - to buy a new Corolla with a gun or is there an option for buying - Camry 2.4 2007, automatic, 1 verified owner - colleague, the body is 100% not a bit. car every day in sight. mileage is approaching 50,000, very careful operation, all TO .. \u200b\u200bPrice - about 800 thousand rubles. Confused by the end of the guarantee. There are small bonuses like winter tires, auto start. Who will advise what, what problems to expect with the mat. partly for a car with this mileage and the estimated amount of cash investments ..
The fact that the classes of cars are different does not apply to the topic, about comfort and everything else is not discussed - no one argues. Interested in the material content of a used car

corolla will come out cheaper. eats less, taxes and insurance are less, the design is simpler, the spare part is cheaper.
So Corolla and not cheaper - 760 cars + to-t winter rubber. the same thing turns out, benzyl consumption is not relevant, insurance is slightly more expensive. that's why I choose.

Strange, but I also had such a dilemma ... I also wanted to buy a new Corolla or a used Camry. I bought a Camry - I don't regret it at all. If, nevertheless, you are going to buy a Corolla, then you will regret that you did not buy Kamryukha! :) Do not bother with the guarantee - it is useful if your wedge engine gives you the fault of the manufacturer. Expendable materials: oils, filters, bushings, etc. I think not much more expensive than Corolla.;)
And on a large scale, does something require replacement with such a run?

I bought my Camry with 52,000 km mileage, changed on the front and rear stabilizers lateral stability bushings (rubber dampers) and stabilizer struts (although, to be honest, they could not have been changed. They would have been more like that.) Now there will be 80,000 km, I will change the oil in the box (if according to the manual). For the entire period, I only changed the oil in the engine, the filter (oil, air and cabin). There is no corrosion, if you polish more often, nothing will happen (I polish mine myself!). Forgotten completely, recently changed fuel filter in the tank, nothing complicated (the forum has a description and catalog numbers of spare parts). Well, that's probably all! :)

Fully and completely agree, taking the Camry there is nothing to regret, but when you take the Corolla, the thought will be obligatory, or maybe it was necessary to take the Camry? : confused: even so the Camry is comfort, status and other + sy ....
This year Toyota Corolla celebrates its 50th anniversary! For half a century, more than 43 million cars have been produced in 11 generations - this is an absolute record for one model in the entire history of the automotive industry. Notable biography, isn't it? And even in Russia, Corolla is the most popular foreign car, slightly ahead of Ford focus - of course, including used cars. But soon the Corolla may lose it honorary title... The rise in the exchange rate raised the prices of imported Corolla and brought down demand several times. But they do not give up in the Russian office: since Corolla is not among the bestsellers of the market today, and the price still remains high, why not give it the gloss of the desired premium?
Design with a claim
Yes, yes, it is in the USA or Japan that students and housewives drive Corollas, and for European and Russian toyota Markets Corolla has the so-called "prestigious" performance. And it all starts with design. Remember what the Corolla looked like before the update? Hardly - the car did not have time to become familiar on our roads. But this one is easier to remember! The front end has become much more aggressive - in the style of the hydrogen Toyota Mirai. With a wide air intake, narrow upper grille and "predatory" headlights, which, by the way, are now fully LED in the two "upper" trim levels.
And the rear was not without solutions already tested on the bestseller in Russia - the Toyota Camry sedan. The lanterns have changed slightly, which now includes a thin chrome strip. By the way, Toyota is especially proud of the fact that the gaps between body panels are only 4 mm versus 5 mm for the main competitors of the Corolla. Recall that the sedan for our market is still being produced in Turkey. And with such a sales volume - 6,137 cars last year - there is no question of localizing production.
Work on bugs
However, we didn't scold Corolla for the design. The interior is another matter. The architecture has not radically changed, but the interior has become definitely better - there is practically no cheap silver plastic left, a soft "stitched" material has appeared on the front panel.
Also "Corolla" got a new climate control unit, round adjustable deflectors in audi style, a color display in the instrument cluster and a multimedia complex with fully touch-sensitive buttons at the edges (the same as that of a Hilux pickup). And on driver's door proudly flaunts the inscription All Auto - all four automatic windows. Wait! Finally, the famous liquid crystal watch moved below - to the place where the indicator used to glow with a yellow spot, warning of the deactivation of the airbag for installation child seat in the front seat.
True, there were some drawbacks. The already mentioned touch control toyota systems The Touch 2 is inconvenient when you need to quickly change the volume of the music, and fingerprints remain on the glossy glass panel. The reach of the steering column is still inadequate, and the seats are upholstered in synthetic fabric that makes it hot on sunny days. The Corolla now has a heated steering wheel, but the heated rear sofa is still not available, although competitors offer similar equipment: for example, Hyundai elantra and Skoda Octavia... In addition, the "Prestige" equipment with front and rear sensors parking spaces that are now more aesthetically pleasing, flush with the bumpers, and comfortable access. And the Japanese have finally updated the keys - now they are not ashamed to get them out of your pocket (the old ones looked like key fobs from cheap alarms).
Faster? Stronger? Hush!
Gamma power unitsoffered for Corolla has not changed. The starting modification is a 99-horsepower 1.3 with a six-speed manual transmission, but we were able to test only versions with Multidrive S CVTs, the same that was equipped with the Corolla before the update. By the way, as representatives of Toyota found out by interviewing focus groups, many potential buyers run from this box like fire. Why? They confuse it with the old MultiMode robot, which was installed at the dawn of the previous generation.
Again, we are pleased to note that toyota CVT is very good! Moreover, both in traffic jams, which abound in resort Anapa (Moscow never dreamed of such traffic jams!), And on the highway - no jerks and delays. In addition, Toyota claims that there are practically no failures of these variators, although the pre-reform sedan presented for comparison with a range of under 30 thousand kilometers was already quietly "howling" with its transmission.
With the variator, two gasoline aspirated engines are available - with a volume of 1.6 (122 hp) and 1.8 (140 hp) liters. And we definitely vote for the more powerful option! Formally, the difference between them is small - some 18 "horses", 19 N ∙ m of torque and 0.9 seconds of acceleration to hundreds. But in fact, driving the Corolla 1.8 is much more pleasant - it's easier to overtake on country roads, and to drown the pedal to the floor and listen to the desperate roar of the engine on high revs need less often. Therefore, 1.8 "eats" no more than 1.6 - the average consumption, including traffic jams, was 8.2 l / 100 km. Moreover, 1.8, according to Toyota representatives, can be "fed" with AI-92 gasoline. Nice bonus!
So the Corolla didn't get any faster, but became quieter... And not only with the 1.8 engine. The noise insulation of the front arches, door panels and the engine shield has been improved - it has been brought up to the level of modern classmates. This is especially noticeable on a dirt road - in the updated "Corolla" the drum roll of stones is muffled. And only the rough asphalt makes the 16-inch tires "sing" louder than usual.
By the way, while driving a Corolla, you can still rush on a dirt road and bad asphalt without reducing the speed - while it is much more comfortable in it than in the RAV4 crossover! Springs and dampers have been modified to reduce wave swing when fully loaded, but this now makes the Corolla harder to meet sharp-edged bumps (read - joints of overpasses and cut asphalt, rails and hatches). The final touch - reconfigured steering with a slightly more "clamped" zero position. It's better - the driver has more feedback.
What will happen to demand?
Most likely, a radical jump in Corolla sales will not happen. Judge for yourself - only the initial version with mechanics and 1.3 engine is cheaper than a million rubles (949 thousand). The most affordable Corolla 1.6 with a CVT is already 1,059,000 rubles.
Want climate control? If you would like to fork out for a complete set "Style Plus" - this is 1,208,000 rubles for a sedan with 1.6 and mechanics, 1,245,000 rubles for a 1.6 with a variator, and for the 1.8 engine you will have to pay another 32 thousand rubles. Finally, the top performance “Prestige” costs 1,295,000 rubles for the 1.6 Corolla and 1,327,000 for the 1.8. And this is more expensive than the recently tested Hyundai Elantra and Skoda Octavia. And not far from Camry! But, if you still decide to link your fate with the "Corolla", you should know - she is in better shape now than ever... It is a pity that it will hardly be possible to celebrate the 50th anniversary in Russia with record sales.
Cars toyota brands regardless of the model, they are particularly reliable and safe for the driver and passengers. The Japanese manufacturer, having released generation after generation of cars, proves every time that it is possible to combine beauty and luxury with comfort, power and economy.
General information: looking for differences
The favorite of Toyota fans is the car that attracts everyone's attention on the road - the Toyota Camry. Today the seventh generation of this model is being produced. A true business class sedan, an executive car is in great demand in the international market.
The "younger sister" of the Toyota Camry, Corolla, is a C-class sedan. This fact in itself means that comparing such cars is not only difficult, but sometimes impossible, incorrect. Paying attention to technical specifications, it is striking that the Corolla is presented on the market with an engine volume of either 1.33 liters (99 hp) or 1.6 liters (122 hp), while the minimum volume of the Camry engine starts at 1.8 liters (125 liters .from.). The two-liter Camry has 148 hp. More powerful engines a volume of 2.5 liters (181 hp) and 3.5 liters (249 hp). 3.5-liter car power for russian market was reduced from 277 hp, which is due to the peculiarities of taxation. Each model, regardless of engine size, is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Toyota Corolla, unlike Camry, gives its owner the opportunity to choose between a mechanic and a continuously variable variator.
According to the declared characteristics, the Camry can gain maximum speed from 180 km / h to 218 km / h, while for the Corolla this figure does not exceed 195 km / h. The C-class sedan with a 1.6-liter engine accelerates to 100 km / h in 10.5 seconds, consuming mixed cycle 6.6 l / 100 km. For the Camry, acceleration decreased to 9 seconds, and consumption increased to 7.8 l / 100 km.
Significant differences are also noticeable in the dimensions of the machines. The Camry's body is 455mm longer and 25mm wider than the Corolla. Moreover, the latter is 120 mm higher than the D-class sedan. Wheelbase The Camry is 30mm smaller.
Other features of the Camry and Corolla
The exterior of the latest generation Toyota Camry has been refined in line with the 'Keen Look' and 'Under Priority' styling cues that have found their way into other car models (for example, the Toyota Corolla). This was the reason that the exteriors of the two cars became similar to each other.
The updated bumper with niches for fog lights, chrome edging of the hood, the presence of side air intakes add elegance to the car and create a feeling of "muscularity", dimension and power in one bottle. Advanced front and rear optics with LED lights are more than just a decorative element. This is an additional plus for the safety of the car. Toyota Camry is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels.
Toyota Camry is presented in various trim levels: Comfort, Elegance, Prestige and Premium. The Camry is equipped with xenon lamps in the dipped beam headlights, a rear view camera, parking sensors, airbags (front, side, knee for the driver and "curtains" depending on the configuration), cruise control, headlight washers and other options depending on the configuration.
Toyota Corolla pleases its fans with Standard, Classic, Style, Comfort, Style plus, Elegance trim levels. The designers took care of changing the exterior of the Corolla, making its appearance much more solid, elegant and dynamic at the same time.
Depending on the configuration, the car rides on 15- or 16-inch alloy wheels. Climate control, heated mirrors, power windows, electric folding mirrors, fog lights and many other options are designed for comfort when traveling. Vehicle safety is affected by the presence anti-lock braking system ABS, brake force distribution systems, stability, anti-slip system, emergency braking, child locks and seat mountings, airbags.
For the convenience of the driver, both models are equipped with an electric power steering, adjustable steering column.
The changes made by the designers in the new generation of Corolla and Camry also affected the interior, adding interior decoration both auto sophistication and prestige. Given that the cars are of different classes, the Camry naturally has more space inside for the driver and passengers. Both cars have a roomy trunk, informative and functional dashboard and central panel.
In an effort to keep up with the times, every automaker strives to equip the next generation of its cars with new electronic systems, to make it more respectable, beautiful and prestigious, to increase safety and comfort. is perhaps the best example of this trend.
Exterior
Toyota Camry, due to its massiveness and comfort, attracts the attention of mainly businessmen. People over 40, who have established priorities in life, are equally interested in the car. However, with the arrival of the next generation, the Camry acquired a new look that changed the priorities of the inhabitants.
The front of the car looks dynamic, which is not very compatible with the overall massiveness.
Therefore, the sedan looks somewhat angular. Toyota Corolla looks completely different. The new versions have a much more harmonious look when compared with their predecessors.
Especially fit in rear lightsthat look as sophisticated as the front ones, and the wide chrome strip between them serves as a great finishing touch to the design. Only rear bumper, it doesn't really fit into the overall dynamic look of the sedan.
Equipment and comfort
If the external data of the two models can be assessed by the photo, then the internal filling must be dealt with separately. It makes no sense to compare cars verbatim, so it's better to look at the equipment.
Corolla falls behind in technical equipment from Camry, which even in basic configuration full of surprises:
- brake assistant (BAS);
- 6 airbag;
- parktronic;
- cruise control;
- camera for moving back;
- 8-inch screen;
- multimedia system;
- climate control with two zones.
If the Toyota Camry is rated by those who sit on back seat, then it is problematic to find a more comfortable car for such little money for this level.
There is enough space in the back to accommodate three of us without getting tired on a long journey.
But the driver cannot count on such high comfort. It is comfortable to drive, but premium cars are still more convenient to drive.
The upholstery of the seats and the interior looks solid at first glance. But upon closer inspection, we notice some flaws. Moreover, in dark colors it looks more harmonious than in light ones.
The Toyota Corolla does not look rich in comparison with the Camry: combined fabric upholstery on the seats, a narrow raised front panel and a small console. In addition, from the list of equipment that the Camry is equipped with, there is practically nothing in the Corolla. The owner of an economy class car will have to be content with air conditioning, count on 4 airbags and ABS. The trim is made of inexpensive plastic. Three of us are already uncomfortable in the back seats, especially for tall people.
Dynamic characteristics
It is difficult to say right away who is better on the road. Heavy Camry stability while driving is given by a strong engine, although the car does not accelerate better than Corolla... It's all about the gearbox, which is purposely designed to use less fuel. Therefore, the business sedan has a smooth and soft ride. But even with the automatic transmission set to save the owner's pocket, the Camry still has a decent appetite - 11 liters per hundred.
The Camry's suspension is undeniably better, providing everyone inside with a comfortable, shaky-free ride even on relatively bumpy roads.
The car compared to the Camry resembles the effect of "Zhiguli" when driving, when, due to the noise and jerks at the moment of acceleration, it seems that the car has enormous dynamic potential. In fact, it is much weaker than a business sedan. Although at the start, the Corolla can get ahead, since the continuously variable variator does not think so long, compared to the Camry's hydromechanical automatic.
