The Toyota Camry has dominated the midsize sedan market for years. One of the other contenders, the Ford Fusion, is certainly a worthy opponent, but in the end, it still falls behind. Let’s take a look at why the Camry dominates the midsize market year after year.
The Toyota Camry vs. Ford Fusion Engine
In 2015, Toyota upgraded the Camry’s exterior image and the result was a sportier, more aggressive look. The Camry comes with a choice of two gasoline powertrain engines: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that puts out 178 horsepower, and a lively 3.5-liter V6 which boasts 268 horsepower. Both engine options send their power to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. The Toyota Camry is also available with a hybrid powertrain engine that has a 2.5-liter, Atkinson-cycle, four-cylinder engine and a high-torque electric motor that produces 200 combined horsepower and delivers up to 41 mpg*.
The Toyota Camry vs. Ford Fusion Style
The Ford Fusion is a worthy opponent, but in the end it falls flat. The Fusion is very roomy and sporty looking, but its beauty only seems to be skin deep. Don’t get us wrong, the Fusion is a good midsize vehicle, but it lacks the reliability and pizzazz of its Toyota counterpart. The Fusion is a good example of a “Jack of all trades, but a Master of none.” The Camry, on the other hand, is a Master of all. It has looks, power, room, and class. The Camry is a fun, economical, and reliable vehicle.
