The Toyota Camry remains a very important part of the automaker’s roster available at dealerships like Colonial Toyota. Our manufacturing partner has continued to develop and improve the Camry midsize sedan as other automakers have actually shuttered the production of their sedan lineups. A comparison of the 2021 Toyota Camry vs. 2020 Toyota Camry will help buyers understand how the manufacturer keeps this model in the limelight, even as the rest of the industry seems to be changing. For the 2021 model year, Toyota has made some subtle revisions to the exterior of the Camry, made a 9-inch touchscreen an available option and eliminated the L trim. Online expert reviews were quick to point out the vehicle’s strong fuel-economy scores with its base engine, spacious cabin design and a long list of standard active safety systems.

As one of the most popular Toyota platforms in the automaker’s storied history, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the latest Camry model would be equipped with the latest connectivity and safety technology. Every 2021 Toyota Camry trim grade will be equipped with a smartphone-compatible infotainment system – just like its immediate predecessor. Drivers and passengers will be able to connect their compatible smartphones to both the Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ suites of applications. This kind of connectivity is becoming increasingly common in the automotive industry, but Toyota, and the 2021 Camry, takes the next logical step and adds compatibility with the Amazon Alexa digital home assistant. Having this feature will allow owners to interact with their Camry to find out if the doors are locked, how much fuel is remaining in the tank and send directions to the car.
Additionally, all 2021 Camry trims are equipped with active safety systems like forward-collision mitigation, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and much more.
The 2021 Camry offers the same lineup of engines that are found with the 2020 model. Colonial Toyota customers will be able to choose between a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine or a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter, V-6. Performance output for the four-cylinder mill will vary a bit among the various trims, falling between 202 and 206 horsepower. All trims using the V-6 will produce 301 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque.
Fuel economy scores remain strong for the 2021 Toyota Camry. Base models will be able to record up to 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 miles per gallon on the highway, depending on trim grade. A 2021 Camry with a V-6 will return as much as 22 mpg in the city and up to 33 mpg on the highway, depending on which model a customer takes home.
