Midsize sedans are a staple vehicle in the automotive industry. They’re perfect for small families or those looking for a vehicle that is efficient yet still offers space. The Toyota Camry is an iconic midsize sedan that is known as a trustworthy, fuel efficient vehicle. With over 90 percent of all Toyota Camrys sold in the last ten years still on the road today, it’s clear to see this midsize sedan is one of the most reliable choices on the market. In order to give drivers a better idea of how the Camry stands up to its competition, our team here at Serra Toyota is going to compare it to another well known midsize sedan - the Kia Optima.

To keep it simple, we’re going to do a comparison between the base models. The 2016 Toyota Camry LE is going to be compared to the 2016 Kia Optima LX to show drivers what the two have in common and how they differ. To start, these two have a very similar starting price point. The Camry is slightly more fuel efficient and pumps out more horsepower than the Optima. However, the Optima offers a bit more space for cargo and passengers. Both the Camry and Optima have seating for five passengers.
