Is the 2018 Toyota Camry the Right Vehicle for You?

The Toyota Camry has been extremely popular on our lot for a long time, thanks to its affordability, versatility, and reliability. With the 2018 model, all of these benefits return; however, now they are augmented by modern technology, and by contemporary innovation.

How does this sedan stack up against its competition, though? More specifically, how does this vehicle compare to another popular sedan -- like the 2018 Honda Accord?

The 2018 Toyota Camry vs. the 2018 Nissan Altima

  • While both models have similar engines, the 2018 Toyota Camry's standard engine hits 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque; this easily out-powers the 2018 Nissan Altima's base engine specs of 179 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque.
  • Even though it has a more powerful engine, the Camry continues to impress with higher fuel efficiency numbers than the Altima as well! The former achieves an EPA-estimated 29 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway; the latter only manages an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.
  • You'll have a much more engaging and fun drive with the Camry's standard 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters than with the Altima's standard CVT.
  • The Camry comes standard with navigation and adaptive cruise control, while the Altima requires you to choose a higher trim level to find these features.
