Toyota Camry: XV50 Facelift vs XV80
Verdict
At RM145,562 versus RM221,800, the Toyota Camry XV80 asks RM76,238 more than the Toyota Camry XV50 Facelift. That money buys a bigger 2,487 cc engine with 201 hp and 246 Nm, seven airbags, AEB, a five-year warranty and slightly more boot space. The older car still has a 70-litre tank, a stated 7.3 L/100 km figure and much cheaper RM379 road tax. For a Malaysian buyer, this is not a close price fight; it is used-value comfort against newer safety kit and performance.
Pick the Toyota Camry XV50 Facelift if you want the cheaper D-segment Camry with lower RM379 annual road tax and a larger 70-litre fuel tank.
Pick the Toyota Camry XV80 if you want the stronger 201 hp 2.5-litre car with seven airbags, AEB and a five-year warranty.
