Toyota Camry: XV70 Facelift vs XV80
Verdict
The Toyota Camry XV80 asks RM22,690 more, and the clearest returns are size and luggage space: it is 35 mm longer and has a 524-litre boot instead of 493 litres. Mechanically, the Toyota Camry XV70 Facelift is not outgunned on paper; its 2.5-litre petrol engine makes 206 hp and 253 Nm against the XV80’s 201 hp and 246 Nm. Both are CBU D-segment sedans with front-wheel drive, an automatic gearbox, seven airbags, AEB, a five-year warranty and the same RM867 road tax.
Pick the Toyota Camry XV70 Facelift if you want the lower buy-in, the higher engine output and can live with the smaller boot.
Pick the Toyota Camry XV80 if you want the newer generation’s longer body and 31-litre bigger boot, and accept paying more for it.
