Power and efficiency
The 2021 Camry and 2021 Corolla both come with three engine options to help you find the right balance of power and efficiency.
If power is ultimately your focus, turn to the Camry. Its standard 2.5-litre engine provides up to 203 horsepower and gets 7.4L/100km in combined city/highway driving.* For XLE, XSE, and TRD trims, a 3.5-litre V6 cranks out 301 horsepower and achieves a combined 9.2L/100km.* You can also opt for a 208-horsepower gas-electric hybrid that gets a highly efficient 4.9L/100km combined.*
The Corolla makes efficiency a top priority. It comes with a standard 1.8-liter engine that makes 139 horsepower and gives you a combined 7.1L/100km.* SE and XSE trims get a 2.0-liter version that puts out 169 horsepower and gets 6.7L/100km.* The Corolla Hybrid’s powertrain totals 121 horsepower and grants you 4.5L/100km in combined driving.*

Space
When you’re weaving in and out of Toronto traffic or need to fit into tight city spots, the size of your vehicle matters. The Camry and the Corolla are both solid options for city driving, but the compact Corolla is a bit shorter and narrower than the midsize Camry. They both fit five passengers with ample legroom. The Camry also has a slightly larger trunk than the Corolla, offering 428 litres of cargo capacity compared to 371 litres for the Corolla.
Technology
While the Camry and Corolla offer different engine options and are different sizes, they offer many of the same innovative technologies. Both sedans come standard with the Toyota Safety Sense™ suite of safety technologies, which gives you:
Both vehicles also offer connective features like touch-screen displays, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration, and SiriusXM® Satellite Radio.
- Pre-Collision System with Daytime/Low-Light Vehicle and Pedestrian Detection, plus Daytime Bicycle Detection
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist and Road Edge Detection
- Automatic High Beam
- Lane Trace Assist
- Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
