Verdict
The Toyota Camry XV80 asks RM24,912 more than the XV70, but it brings 201 hp and 246 Nm against 181 hp and 235 Nm, plus an eight-speed automatic in place of six speeds. Its 8.9-second 0-100 km/h time and 210 km/h top speed give Malaysian buyers hard performance references missing for the older car. The newer Camry is 35 mm longer and carries 524 litres in the boot, yet the XV70 retains a 60:40 folding rear bench and a full-size alloy spare. Choose based on driving and cabin tech, not cabin room: wheelbase, width and height are unchanged.
Pick the Toyota Camry XV70 if lower entry cost, a 60:40 split-fold rear seat and a full-size 18-inch alloy spare matter more than newer infotainment and performance.
Pick the Toyota Camry XV80 if you want 201 hp, an eight-speed automatic, a 12.3-inch screen with wireless phone integration and a 360-degree camera.
