2019 Toyota Camry vs. 2019 Lincoln MKZ

The 2019 Lincoln MKZ has captured the attention of automobile journalists and enthusiasts alike, due to its royal exterior, hybrid attributes, comfortable interior, and respectable V6 twin-turbo engine. What happens when it goes against the 2019 Toyota Camry, the latest edition of a car which has formed an important part of Toyota's arsenal for decades?

Design & Style

The Toyota Camry has a bold exterior that will capture the attention of everyone who sees it. It has clean and crisp edges with wheels that are made of steel and covered by hubcaps made of reinforced plastic. Drivers also have the option of alloy wheels, and the roof slopes gradually into a tail that is truncated with taillights that are broad and complex. Inside, the dashboard is intricate, with standardized touchscreens seven inches in size and front seats made with lines of matte silver. The Lincoln MKZ is one of the most beautiful sedans in its class. Its roofline is sleek, with impressive LED lights and proportions which reinforce its image as a luxury car. The chrome grille is prominent with tail lights that are wide, and within the cabin, the elegant yet minimalist design will be alluring to many.

Technology & Safety

The Lincoln MKZ has done well on crash tests and boasts of many safety features such as crash avoidance tech, headlights which are high beam and automated alerts when departing lanes, blind area monitoring, and emergency automatic brakes. It has an array of comforts in the cabin, as would be expected of a luxury vehicle, like satellite navigation, premium sound, leather upholstery and trim made of wood and polished metal. The Toyota Camry is such a safe car that it has been awarded both the Top Safety Pick award through the IIHS and a five-star rating via the NHTSA. It is equipped with a camera that has to surround view, alerts for cross traffic in the rear, driver assist, the ability to detect pedestrians, and lane control. Perks within the cabin include Apple CarPlay, seven inch infotainment screens, keyless ignition, and Bluetooth support.

Performance

The Toyota Camry is outfitted with an inline 4, 2.5-liter engine that can produce 176 horsepower, that works in conjunction with a transmission that is electronic and continuously variable. The Lincoln MKZ comes with a turbo 4 engine that is 2 liter and capable of generating 245 horsepower with 275 pounds of torque.

The Bottom Line

Both of these cars are gorgeous and packed with lots of important features. Although the Lincoln MKZ has lots of engine power to spare, the Toyota has a superior safety rating and more tech within the cabin, so the Camry wins.
