When working on a tight budget, the Corolla is a better option to pick between the two. A brand new Toyota Corolla is priced at about ₦18.5 million, depending on the brand. While a brand new Toyota Camry is priced at ₦20 million. But these prices are subject to the year the car was manufactured. But for used cars, the price range difference stands between the two cars.

Car Engine:
A Camry presents itself with a better car engine than a Corolla. The Camry has a better horsepower than a Corolla when compared to the 132-horsepower of the Corolla. Another concern with the Corolla is the strength and time it exhausts when accelerating, but with a Camry, with its in-built four cylinders, it is ready to start and move at one turn.
Body safety:
If involved in an accident, the chances of experiencing car damage with a Camry are lower when compared to a Corolla. A Camry and a Corolla are both equipped to pass the safety test features, but with the car make and build a Camry is built to withstand body damage depending on the level of the hit.
Trunk space:
On this feature also, the Camry beats out the Corolla as the Camry offers 14.1 cubic feet of trunk space, while the Corolla offers 13 cubic feet of trunk space. The difference in space is not far from the other, but sometimes being able to fit in extra hand luggage really goes a long way in making a choice. Again, there are different models of these cars, but the Camry overpowers the Corolla regardless.
Fuel Consumption & Economy:
The Camry gives its owners 26 mpg on a 6-cylinder engine. A 4-cylinder engine gives a 34 mpg. A Corolla gives a 32 mpg, and unless you want to spend money on fuel, it is better to go with a Toyota Corolla.
Interior design:
For comfortability and perceived elegance, the Camry is a better choice apart from its exterior design. The Camry allows its riders to experience comfort by providing more space for them to stretch their legs. This can be attributed to the make and way the two cars are designed. While a Camry is a midsize car, for individuals and smaller families, a Corolla is better suited for an individual with its compact design.
Exterior design:
A Camry is considered more attractive because of the modern look it has. The finely shaped edges of the car give it a more daring, modern, and youthful look, features that the Corolla does not possess. But, because beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, the Corolla may look very appealing to an intending buyer than a Camry. Don’t close your eyes to the options.
With the seven features presented to you, to make a healthy choice between buying a Camry or a Corolla, it is safe to say that the Camry is better than the Corolla in some secondary features. But the two primary features; Price and fuel economy, the Corolla wins over the Camry. The features you want to consider when trying to decide solely rest on you, and I hope this list helps a lot.
