Which Is Better Between The Two?
Where they’re similar:
The 2023 Corolla received a thorough refresh for the new model year, but not a full redesign. That means that the 2023 and 2023 Toyota Camry models are more similar than they are different. Overall engine options and performance specs stay the same, as do cargo space and interior dimensions. Both models offer the Nightshade Special Edition exterior package on sedan and hatchback models.
Where they’re different:
While this was just a refresh for the 2023 Corolla vs. the 2023 Toyota Camry, there are plenty of changes. One addition is an updated Toyota Safety Sense+ suite of safety and driver-assistance features.
The new model brings updated styling to the front fascia of most trim levels in the lineup, plus a few new colours. The 2023 Toyota Corolla Hybrid offers new trim levels and, for the first time, all-wheel drive. The 2023 Toyota Camry will likely be slightly more expensive.
