Even after being the more affordable one, the Camry offers more features and a more powerful powertrain than its closest rival
The new-generation Toyota Camry has been launched in the Indian market over a year after it was unveiled overseas. With its modern styling, powerful and efficient engine, and premium features, it takes on its closest rival, the Skoda Superb, which is still in its old avatar, and is more expensive out of the two. In this article, we have compared all the specifications of these two premium sedans to see which one has more to offer for the price.

The Toyota Camry is available at a much more affordable price than the Superb. The main reason why there is such a huge price gap is because the Toyota Camry is locally assembled in India while the Skoda Superb is brought as a fully imported unit. But does this low price cost the Camry in terms of size, performance, or features? Let’s find out.

Apart from its slightly longer width, the Camry is smaller than the Superb in all dimensions. Since the Superb is also wider and has a longer wheelbase, it can be translated to better cabin space, especially for the rear seat passengers. Both models come with same-sized 18-inch alloy wheels.

The Superb gives a good competition to the Camry in terms of features, and even takes the lead in the case of some creature comforts. However, with a better infotainment package, and a more detailed safety kit, the Camry offers more than its rival, that too at a lower price.
Verdict
While the Superb makes a good case with its bigger size and better comfort features, its price premium does not feel justified, considering the Camry is offering a similar package with better safety and more tech for a lower price.
Not only this, the Camry is new, and has been launched in India in its latest avatar, which makes it look and feel more modern. The Superb, on the other hand, is available in the country in its older version, which makes it look a little outdated, considering the new-gen Superb has already been launched overseas. Also, do bear in mind that the next-gen Skoda Superb is expected to arrive in 2025 and the current version is only available in limited quantities.
