Toyota Camry: XV70 vs XV80
Verdict
The Toyota Camry XV80 is the stronger, roomier new-generation Camry, but not a clean sweep. At RM221,800 versus RM196,888, the RM24,912 gap buys 201 hp/246 Nm instead of 181 hp/235 Nm, a boot enlarged from 493 to 524 litres and an 8.9-second 0-100 km/h figure. The basics stay very close: both are CBU petrol D-segment sedans with front-wheel drive, five seats, seven airbags, AEB, 60-litre tanks and a 2,825 mm wheelbase. For used buyers, the Toyota Camry XV70 still makes numerical sense.
Pick the Toyota Camry XV70 if you want the cheaper Camry and can live with 181 hp, 235 Nm and a 493-litre boot.
Pick the Toyota Camry XV80 if you want the newer car’s extra output, larger 524-litre boot and quoted 8.9-second 0-100 km/h time.
