The Camry pictured is not a 2001 Camry. It's a 2002-2006 Camry |

Avensis is better car, more rugged and more smooth to drive but the maint. is a little higher than camry because avensis is not in America. |

ayo123456: I don't agree. I place the Avensis somewhere between the Corolla and Camry, which is exactly where it is placed in Japan. The Japanese Camry and Asian Camry is better than the Japanese Avensis. 1 Like |

Would go for the Avensis it has more bigger engine and more Horse Power than the camry. |

The avensis is just the European version of Camry with smaller engine. Those saying the 2005 avensis is more powerful just because they added a 2.4L option (which is very rare) forgot the Camry also has a 3.0L v6 with 190hp. |

AutosBay: Really?? The largest engine in the Avensis in question here is a 2.4 I4 16V, while the Camry in the same year has the 3.0 / 3.3 V6 24V. More rubbish from "AutosBay". 8 Likes |

1.The Avensis is less likely to attract robbers than the camry 2. The Avensis is less common than the camry so you won't be too bored with it 3. I prefer the interior of the Avensis to the xle trim of that camry of same year. 4. The Avensis is a rugged and tough car but as it adds more years the dash is likely to crack 5. The Avensis looks more sporty and solid than that camry. 6. The Avensis has a wagon variant that kinda put it on par with the corolla, I don't think camry has a wagon variant. The only issue is the resale value and buyer interest on Avensis is very low. 6 Likes |

AutosBay: Absurdly wrong. Camry has big engines. Its got basically two choices of engine which are:2AZ-FE 2.4 L4 engine and 3MZ-FE a 3.3L V6 its mated to either a 4 speed auto for 2002-2004 and gained a 5speed auto in the updated versions. Its much more spacious and luxurious than the avensis. Is SE trim are much more sporty than the avensis. In toyota's ranking globally, it sits above the avensis and its the basis for many of their cars. Its platform is used in the Avalon and highlander, its platform form basis for the RX and ES series in lexus. 3 Likes |

nurey:@ your 5, there's an SE trim in N. American market, sportivo trim in Australian market and which is more sporty, the JDM and Asian Market models are sportier than the avensis in Arab world, they engage this model of CAMRY in "Tafheet" which is known as Arab drift. There is an ALL WHEEL DRIVE variants in some market model. Some model of CAMRY has a manual tranny for its 4 cylinder. @ your 6, CAMRY has no wagon instead it grew into a crossover suv= the highlander which is basically a wagon and is described as a tall heavier CAMRY. 1 Like |

Up More, 2005 Avalon. if you can't, then buy a 2004.. that fits more to the options you gave. |

lomomike: I won't argue with you, I prefer the avensis to that 2003-2006 camry the interior of the avensis is just well placed and when I mean sport not drivability I mean shape I was driven in the Avensis (though I don't think the avensis has multiple variants like ce, se or xle etc) at 140km/h that car handling was solid this was on 3rd mainland bridge b4 the repair on the bridge. The Avensis has been with them like forever (government car) when the hood was opened, the plastic covering was 80% intact, means less engine fault, I can't say the same for my friends camry xle. The only down side of that avensis is the dash, it has started cracking especially sides close to passenger air bag. @6 I am saying that the camry is suppose to be luxurious than avensis reason for it not having a wagon variant I can imagine the 07-12 camry with wagon but that big for nothing wagon, I wonder who will buy the ugly thing.

nurey: Reason why CAMRY has that feel is because N American models have soft spring rate tuned suspensions. If you get firmer suspensions as is used in JDM, you'll know the CAMRY is a better driving car than the avensis. Its also got a longer wheel base than the avensis. However, both cars have longer overhangs which is a negation in sports performance. You dey find CAMRY wagon, they gave you answer by providing a highlander which is basically a taller heavier built CAMRY wagon 1 Like |

lomomike: I am not a wagon person I said the avensis has a wagon variant which makes it to be on par with the corolla as corolla bank tyPe also has wagon. I don't think luxurious vehicles need wagon variant except it is given in form of another model like 97-2002 camry (sienna As wagon) big 4 nothing (highlander as wagon) The camry is rated higher than the Avensis but seriously let's come to Nigerian setting 1. that big 4 notin bumper is so fragile let it just touch sometin it will crack like thunder passing through it 2. That big for notin will look horrible when it has minor dents cause of its shape 3. That big for notin is also BIG FOR NOTHING Both cars are solid but avensis should be considered if V6 is not needed, less robber magnet, also reliable like the camry and op wanna stand out 4 Likes |

Been driven in both and I say that IMHO, the Avensis is a better option. More luxurious interior apperance, very quiet cabin, balanced ride. It had understated beauty beyond its blandness. The camry of same year on the other hand is roomier and has softer fabric. Haven't seen a cracked dash yet. Appearance wise, not so good to the eye, that's why the Honda Accord of same year outsold n continues to outsell it either toks or new. Except for the 3.0 v6, in the camry and the 2.4 in the avensis, they pretty much share the same engine in most trim. 3 Likes |

nurey: Don't agree with you! Camry 2005 bumper is very strong and the plasticky fragile bumper is the cheap new 'china' versions sold in Ladipo, Not the "follow-come" bumper... BTW toyota camry 05 is not big 4 nothing. Its an awesome machine and comparing it to an Avensis is an insult... 1 Like |

Coldplay007:What insult? The car wasn't branded 'big for nothing' for the fun of it. It does not look good. Toyota got to their blandest point with that camry. Besides, except for the rear vents in the xle, a base avensis has arguably more features than an xle camry. 6 Likes |

Raymie: Compare Japanese Avensis with Japanese Camry and kindly stop comparing Japanese Avensis with the watered down North American variant of the Camry. This is an Apples to Apples comparison. If the Avensis was sold in America, it would have a horrible interior. It would be like a Corolla CE with manual windows |

Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by Raymie(m): 9:17pm On Jan 03, 2015 |
abatically:base Avensis offer fog lamps and 5 extra airbags than similar Camry American spec or not. ,The highest trim, which my relative had featured 8speaker infotainment system, factory fitted DVD on headrests that can be operated separately, rain sensitive wipers and parking sensors. What the xle Camry has that is lacking in the Avensis is a more powerful 3.0V6 engine and rear vents. |
Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by Raymie(m): 9:26pm On Jan 03, 2015 |
Fulaman198:Chief, the Toyota Avensis was designed for Europe. As against the Camry for N. America. Besides the 'more sophisticated' Japanese Camrys are RHD except yhure talking about those Dubai ones and IMHO they are same as the American spec ones. BTW, American spec cars base model to base model usually have more kit and look better than their European/international spec counterparts so yhur watered down theory is doubtful. Its only of recent that international spec Toyotas are being as equipped as their N.American counterparts. |

Thanks for your contribution guys,but please kindly add more hand -on experience on your points in terms of driving,maint. cost,ruggedness etc. so that i can use that as basis for my option.Am presently using 2001 camry but love to step up to another one.I travel interstate alot so consider Nigerian roads as a KEY factor when comparing the two Thanks alot |
Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by abatically(m): 11:19pm On Jan 03, 2015 |
Raymie: I don't see having fog lights as a big advantage. Even a 2014 Mercedes Benz S class doesn't have fog lights.. does that make it any inferior? XLE models of 2005 camry has fog lights. The only area I see the Avensis superior to the Camry is the number of airbags. If u think the 2005 Camry is boring to drive then the 2005 Avensis is terrible to drive. The car is slow as hell, 9.1 secs 0-60 for the 2.4L engine? No wonder pundits say the 2005 Avensis is less fun to drive than a Vectra. |
Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by nurey(m): 7:35am On Jan 04, 2015 |
abatically: My brother I didn't want to barge into you guys argument but let put it this way, my review was based on Nigerian settings, the op is not bother about the acceleration or how many cars the avensis can dust. I have been in that avensis and I can proudly say it is not a slow poke and neither is it inferior to the camry the avensis is also as reliable as the camry interms of everything but the interior of the avensis is a tad smoother and well placed than the camry, also the avensis is not a robber magnet I gave the avensis my all putting into consideration our environment. Which one of the two cars will have its ECU stolen or even broken in and driven away not to be seen again or which one will get tailed more by the MEN of THE UnDeRwOrLd. |
Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by Raymie(m): 8:22am On Jan 04, 2015 |
abatically:Chief, I answered yhur question starting from entry level features before the highest trim. The S class since 2006 does have fog lights as standard. The chrome striping in the 2014 has LED lamps embedded. And I never opined that the Avensis was a more interesting car to drive as I haven't driven any. Besides, Toyota does not pride itself as a driver involving marque. However, if I have 1.6m to choose between a toks XLE Camry and T3-X Avensis, kit to kit, look to look, resale value to value, yhu know where my loyalties lie. They are both bland cars but the Camry though roomier, is the blandest both in and out. @OP whatever rocks yhur boat. They both drive smooth and maintenance for both shouldn't be a problem. 1 Like |
