Toyota Camry vs Ford Fusion: Dimensions

The Toyota Camry and Ford Fusion are sedans of similar dimensions. Both are about 190 inches in length, the Camry having a slight advantage with about half an extra inch at 192.1 inches. Similarly, nearly equal headroom and legroom is offered to both front and rear passengers. The one advantage that the Camry has over the Fusion in terms of dimensions is that it’s 11.1 inches narrower.

While you may think this difference would mean a tighter fit for passengers of the Camry, the results are quite different. In fact, the Camry has extra hip room with 55.4 inches of front room and 54.7 inches of rear room. The Fusion only has 55 inches of front hip room and 54.4 inches of rear hip room.

The only difference between the sizes of these two sedans is that likely, with the Fusion, you’ll have a tougher time fitting into parking spots with the extra 11.1 inches.

Performance Capabilities

To make sure you can get wherever it is you’re going, you need some power. This power comes from the engine.

In addition to a more powerful engine, the Camry can also help you travel further, thanks to its higher fuel efficiency. The Ford Fusion receives an EPA-estimated 21 city/31 highway MPG.

Standard Safety Features

Whether you’re traveling down the street to the grocery store or hitting the open world on your next vacation, both Ford and Toyota know that safety is the most important thing.

Both safety systems have similar features, like:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD)
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA)
