Verdict
At RM196,888, the Toyota Camry XV70 remains the less costly route into a 2.5-litre Camry, and its 60:40 rear backrest plus full-size 18-inch alloy spare suit used-car practicality. The RM221,800 Toyota Camry XV80 asks RM24,912 more, but brings 201 hp and 246 Nm against 181 hp and 235 Nm, an eight-speed automatic, 524-litre boot and 360-degree camera. Its 8.9-second 0-100 km/h time gives the newer car a defined performance reference. Both retain front-wheel drive, 60-litre tanks and five seats, so choose on power, tech and boot use rather than cabin width.
Pick the Toyota Camry XV70 if you want the lower purchase price, split-folding rear seats and a full-size alloy spare.
Pick the Toyota Camry XV80 if you want 201 hp, an eight-speed automatic, a larger boot and a 360-degree camera.
