Interesting comparison I don't think I had seen before. Was surprised to see the Camry come out on top but outside styling and interior I think it makes sense.
michael S very cool, so I'm sure you know all the things that probably go on that I couldn't see that makes the Avalon pricier - but man is that Camry not such a solid car that it makes you debate upgrading to the Avalon
I like the Avalon a lot. A lot more luxurious than the Camry, but the Camry is nice enough for what it is. I own a 2015 Camry XSE V6 & it's more appropriate for my generation (I'm 31) & it costs a lot less than the Avalon. But if I had to go for an Avalon, I would go for the top of the line Limited trim to get the cooled front seats, heated rear seats, etc. But both the Camry & Avalon are great cars overall.
If you chose or are considering Avalon over the Camry, love to hear why besides space. For me it was too much 90s Cadillac- squishy brakes, floatyness, etc (although that may be a reason why you bought it if you have nostalgia for older cadillacs I suppose$ :)
DFWs Cars The camry drives better. It has soo much userbility that its hard to justify the Avalons added price. The V6 is much better applied to the Camry. The Camry is a very good car that is hugely slept upon. The Avalon is a luxury car. But the Camry is a luxury car that has sportiness in its suspension(Se and XSE) trim. I seriously love my camry. I test drove the Avalon. and man i wasnt swept away
Test drove both a 17 camry xse v6 and 17 avalon touring back to back. The Camry was ok. Some interior details were a bit cheap. The biggest difference was the ride. The Camry was a bit choppy and rough. As soon as we got into and drove the avalon, it was clear it was a much nicer car. Smoother, quieter, way nicer interior though the touch controls for hvac were a little irritating. The big difference was the ride. Way smoother and and quieter. Felt more luxurious. Much better looking than the Camry too.
If they were similar in price I would take the ES350 for the better radio, etc- but for some reason I want to think the Avalon is a bit bigger than it’s respective ES counterpart.
@@DFWsCars I’d like to buy privately but it seems nobody sells their old Avalon or ES except dealers. I currently have an 07 v6 Camry with 225k. Still runs perfect but I know it won’t last forever. But the engine/transmission has been so good to me that I decided when the car dies I’ll get either an Avalon or Es with the same setup to replace it
Ive owned a 2012 Camry SE for 3 years now, first time owning a Toyota and Im so impressed with it that Im thinking of getting a 2017 Avalon. Thanks for the info!
Ya Toyota makes some great products! If I went Avalon, I'd try to get a really solid deal on the 2017, as the Avalon is long in it's tooth and due for a replamcent in 2018/19, or 20. Also a all new bigger, more luxurious Camry is due soon.
Just bought a 2017 Avalon. 38,000 km on the odometre. Absolutely superb. Yes, the brakes are on the soft side but not squishy. I've put about 1,000 km on the car in all weather conditiions and at many speeds and have had no touble braking efficiently. The car also handles beautifully. Geat acceleration and passing power. It is smooth without being floaty at all. Best car I have ever owned.
50hellkat2 glad you liked it! It is a dying breed of car. It was a commentary on pedal feel more so than actual brake performance. Because feel is subjective- what did you come out of before?
they are trying to set it up at the cowboys/at&t stadium when fate of the furious comes out which will be on april 13 they will put the movie inside as well so car meet up thousands of cars and at 7 pm it starts
I am really really torn right now between keeping my 2017 Camry LE with 53K miles on it, OR trading it in for a used 2017 Avalon XLE with 15K miles on it (or a 2018 Avalon XLE Premium with 33K miles on it). My Camry still feels like new. But having read and seen reviews about how the Avalons are a better ride, I'm starting to feel that "itch" of just wanting to try something new since I have never owned or sat in an Avalon before. Any thoughts from the public ?
The Camry does not have memory seats. That's a deal breaker for me. There are two drivers here, each one demanding widely divergent seat settings. The Avalon is my choice.
Hello i will start driving next month and ill be 15 with a permit and i was interested in the avalon. At first i was looking at a infiniti or a lexus because i wanted a nice looking car that had leather seats and sunroof but then i looked into the avalon. do you think it would be too big or too fast? please respond i know this video is a bit old. Thank you
Whatever dude. You need to think Avalon. You are not getting it. Former camry owner and now Avalon .....i know. Avalon all the way. 6 cylinder ltd cannot touch the basic camry
I do get it, it’s a better value Lexus right? This platform in the model I tested is now aging vs the Camry there they just did a mid cycle refresh and have the 2018 soon. My summary was unless you want a luxury car- the Camry is the better value.
Lucky Go Lucky haha 😆 actually isn’t the argument Avalon is a Lexus for people who can’t afford them. 😏 wouldn’t have said it, but since you brought it up. 😜
DFWs Cars ok. regardless the new generation Avalon are a beast n very beautiful car. I mean if u start comparing Avalon to Camry really no comparison. just a perfrence and who can afford what car.
Lucky Go Lucky I am sensing a Avalon owner? Did you watch the video? My conclusion was the Avalon was beautiful both outside and in- but as a 2017 car, is getting dated. And the MSRP has only gone up each year as the chassis gets older. I wager a new Avalon in 2019/2020
yes. I am an owner of a 2016 Avalon touring. I had owned a 2006 , 2015 Camry se. none of them came close to the Avalon. the Avalon ride smooth, it's quite and fast with great torque. I have nothing against Camry they r good cars too.
@@jiujitsu_demon6527 The Avalon may seem better for you. But the Camry has a V6 option, and is faster than the Avalon. And handles and maneuvers much better, as it is a slightly smaller car. The Avalon interior will be better, and some features the Camry does not have. So, it may not be so clear cut for everyone.
@@jiujitsu_demon6527 Yeah, we're well aware the two have the same engines. You said the Avalon is faster. No it is not... Unless you are talking about the 2.5L Camry which would be a stupid comparison, but then it throws your other comment out the window that it is not too much more expensive. A Base Avalon is $35.5K, the Base 2.5L Camry is about $24K MSRP.

I work at Georgetown ky assembly we build both these models.

Joey theCarGuy you’re right but Avalon is better than Camry i think 🤔 and for all models Avalon is better than Camry

those are good points. Both great cars, good in different ways.
I have a 2015 xle Camry the toyota avalon looks nice and all but I'll keep my Camry.
I am a Toyota Man I love the Avalon over the Camry I have a 03 Avalon and now I want a 2010 Avalon

Dylan Mark if you’re looking for a luxury car- I used the analogy “old school Cadillac of Lincoln”. it’s hard to beat the cushiness of the Avalon.
Kinda late but do you think the Avalon is a better value than a Lexus es350?

I drove the avalon 2017 and it is a dream and no break issues whatsover. So the 70 year old man must be in need of a mechanical inspection.

I have no issues with the Brakes on my Avalon ●♡●
It's a beautiful well made

they need to change the headunit area. i think the plastic around the screen and buttons looks cheep and it needs to be a different color
Agree. The redesign should fix that
avalon♥️
I think Toyota AVALON is better than camry avalon is so amazing and I think avalon win
New gen I def agree. The all new Avalon is seriously a step above if you’re looking for luxury
Is it worth to buy a 2017 Toyota Avalon with 65,000 miles for $16,000?
Yes of course!
I bought a 2015 in 2017 it had 69k
I still have it and it has about 120k and its great
And thats the average price
@@johnmurfy2274 I found a 2017 Toyota Avalon with 85,000 miles for 16,000
@@johnmurfy2274 any problems with the transmission or anything?
@@Rama_248 the car is fc great, best thing about it is the smooth transmission, so no the transmission is great
I upgraded to the 2015 Avalon from a 2008 Mercedes C300(best decision ever) and my Avalon looks much nicer on the inside than the one in this video
Actually I prefer to wait for the 2018 Camry.
I hear ya, it seemed great when I got more info at the auto show. Hope you checked out that video too.
I go with the 2019 Toyota Avalon
will you be going to the fast and furious car meet up?

Ouch sorry about that.

Hey Ron that's an interesting comparison.
Maybe you should get a phonebook, cuz those motors aren't going to last forever.
DFWs Cars would you say the Avalon is more similar to the es300 than the camry?
It may share a platform, but somehow the ES feels closer to the Camry.

The Avalon is a great cruiser- but is a boat with no pretense of handling. It’s like if Cadillac still made large sedans
Ferrari Dave DFWs Reviews ok thank you so would you suggest it to a new 15 year old driver?
The Camry is a feminine car, and the Avalon is masculine
Front wheel drive?
Yup. outside the 86 that's a quirk I don't love.
How dare he drives the Avalon wearing that ugly t-shirt?!
haha- you're right good enough fro the Camry, but def not Avalon quality.

dont buy a camary right now wait until the 2018 model
Totally agree- huge changes that really really improve the car a lot. Even if you can save a ton of $- if there's any way you can wait, def do!
what about the 2007 camry? When buying a used one? I heard the 2009-up are lemons. Is that true?
Get the 2019 Avalon it’s better
😳😳😳 The 2018 Are The Worst Camry 😅
