Performance Specs

It would be easy to make the mistake that because the 2019 versions of the Toyota Camry and Ford Fusion offer very similar engine options that would be equally-matched in performance. Not much could be further from reality. The standard powertrain setup for the 2019 Camry is a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine attached to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It will make 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. By comparison, the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine of the new Fusion is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission but makes fewer than 175 horsepower as well as fewer than 175 pound-feet of torque. Colonial Toyota customers can also choose versions of the 2019 Camry with a 301-horsepower V-6. The competing Ford engine, which is a turbocharged, four-cylinder, has a peak output of 240 horsepower.
