Anyone who finds themselves in need of a new sedan in or around Washington, DC has two great options in the Toyota Corolla and Toyota Camry. Both of these vehicles have been updated recently to make them even more appealing to consumers. Ultimately, it may be difficult to decide which of these well-equipped vehicles is the right one for your needs, but we'll always be there to assist you at Fitzgerald Toyota of Gaithersburg.
The Toyota Corolla is the smaller of the two sedans. That said, it offers plenty of space for up to five passengers. You get five different trim levels to learn more about when shopping for this vehicle. All of them come loaded with great features like Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch touchscreen, a WiFi hot spot, and Bluetooth. You also get driver aids like a forward collision warning system with automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beams, and lane-keeping assist.
Underneath the hood of the Toyota Corolla will be one of two engines. If you drive a Toyota Corolla L, Toyota Corolla LE, or Toyota Corolla XLE model, your vehicle will be powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that gives you 139 horsepower and 126 pound-feet of torque. The Toyota Corolla XLE and Toyota Corolla XSE get a 2.0-liter four-cylinder instead that produces 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque instead. Both are paired with a continuously variable transmission.
Now let's look at the Toyota Camry which is also available at Fitzgerald Toyota Gaithersburg. This slightly larger sedan is actually available in six different trim levels, five of which share a name with a Toyota Corolla trim. The Toyota Camry also has a TRD version that we have pictured above, which offers an aerodynamic body kit, 19-inch wheels, a special suspension, and upgraded brakes.
One thing that makes the Toyota Camry a bit special is the fact that it is available with all-wheel-drive, which makes it a great ride for inclement weather in the greater Arlington and Alexandria, VA areas. On the powertrain front, the standard is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that will make 203-horsepower as well as 184 pound-feet of torque. Select models can also be powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that can give you 301 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque for driving around Washington, DC. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard with both engines.
Of course, whether you select the new Toyota Camry or the new Toyota Corolla, you can be certain you're selecting from the cream of the crop as far as sedans go. Feel free to make the short trip over from Baltimore, MD to visit us and try out these outstanding new Toyota models today.
