Compare 2019 Toyota Camry vs Camry Hybrid

Safety: Which One Performs Better?

The regular 2019 Toyota Camry is chock full of passive and active safety features that make your driving a little safer. The passive features became the foundation for the Toyota Camry. This car comes with pedestrian detection, which helps you to avoid hitting cyclists and people walking in the street. You also have a lane departure warning system to keep you alert to when you depart from a lane unknowingly.

In contrast, you have the 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid, an equally good vehicle. With this vehicle, you receive pedestrian detection and lane departure as well, but you also have a few extras. For example, you have automatic high beams that detect oncoming traffic, and you have dynamic radar cruise control, which allows you to drive at a preset distance from other vehicles while automatically adjusting the speed.

Cargo Space: Who Does Better?

Looking at the cargo space of both models, they didn't change the cargo space since the 2018 models. In fact, you receive the same standard of 15.1 cubic feet for both models. We'd still have to say that the 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid gets a higher mark, however. Why? You have an unusual level of trunk space for a hybrid. With most of the other hybrids, the battery pack operates as part of the powertrain. Because of this, many hybrids have a battery that eats up your trunk space. The Toyota Camry Hybrid has gotten around this problem, which is why it deserves a better rating.

Engine: What Does it Look Like?

At the base level of the 2019 Toyota Camry, your engine will include a 2.5-liter I-4 engine. This car produces up to 203 horsepower. However, you can also choose to sign off on the more powerful engine, which produces 301 horsepower. Meanwhile, you have a 3.5-liter V6 engine, and both of these engines use an eight-speed automatic transmission. If you choose the Toyota Camry Hybrid instead, the car gives you a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with an engine output of 208 horsepower. In that regard, this makes the standard 2019 Toyota Camry perform a little better than its hybrid counterpart. If engine power appeals the most to you, then you will want to buy the 2019 Toyota Camry, but you still have plenty of appealing reasons that you'd choose the 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid instead.
