Toyota has long been famous for their safe, high-performing vehicles, and the new Camry and Corolla sedans are no different. These two best-selling sedans are back for 2022 with spacious cabins, powerful engines, and a long list of exceptional features inside and out. So what’s the difference between Camry and Corolla? Aside from their size (the Camry is a mid-size sedan while the Corolla is a compact car), there are a few key distinctions between these two models. Only one will ultimately suit your needs in the Tampa area, so Wesley Chapel Toyota has put together a guide highlighting the most important differences between the 2022 Camry and Corolla. Here’s a quick overview:

 

 

  • The Camry comes at a higher starting price, befitting its larger size.
  • As a midsize sedan, the Camry also comes with a more powerful standard engine, with the option of upgrading to an even stronger V6.
  • The Corolla gets better gas mileage due to its compact size.
  • The Camry’s larger size also means it has more available cargo space.
  • Both the Camry and Corolla come equipped with plenty of safety features: the 2022 Camry comes with Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5 (TSS 2.5) while the 2022 Corolla comes with Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 (TSS 2.0).
