Despite many differences the Ford Fusion and Toyota Camry still offer customers a similar purchase option. Both of these vehicles are high-quality, mid-sized sedans. Because of their affordable pricing, they are favorites among young couples and even older individuals. They comfortably fit four people, although car seats would be a tight squeeze. The gas mileage on both models is attractive for those looking to save money on fuel. Overall, the Ford Fusion and Toyota Camry offer customers a range of features and benefits that most other cars struggle to provide.

Park Assist Features

One of the more obvious ways that the 2018 Ford Fusion outshines the 2018 Toyota Camry is with the enhanced active park assist. This feature makes parallel or perpendicular parking completely effortless. Drivers simply have to press the enhanced park assist button and follow the prompts provided by the Ford Fusion. The vehicle will take care of the rest by seamlessly parking into place. No more worrying about hitting those tough angles perfectly. The Toyota Camry doesn't even have a park assist feature to compare. Drivers are stuck parking themselves.

All Wheel Drive and Gear Dial

The Ford Fusion tops the Toyota Camry in drivetrain technology with an all-wheel drive system. This allows for better traction in all weather conditions which can help prevent accidents. On the other hand, the Camry is stuck with only front-wheel drive. This is fine when the weather is perfect and streets are intact. However, the Fusion will win out in all other circumstances. Ford also designed this model with an aesthetic and space-saving gear dial. The 2018 Toyota Camry is still using the outdated gear shifters that take up more space than they're worth.

Performance

The 2018 Toyota Camry loses in almost all aspects of engine capabilities. The 2018 Ford Fusion boasts 235 horsepower compared to 301 in the Camry. The Ford Fusion models also offer more engine options than those provided by the Camry, not including hybrid and electric models. Ford has constructed the Fusion with 380 lb-ft, which is over 100 lb-ft of the Camry. Another major benefit of the Ford Fusion is the automatic start/stop technology that will turn off the engine when waiting in traffic. This helps to save a lot of money on gas overtime and reduces the amount of emission released. The Toyota Camry doesn't offer this feature.

The Ford Fusion and Toyota Camry have fought over people's attention for years. However, the 2018 models haven't come out as equal as in the past. The Ford Fusion is an obvious winner in terms of park assist features, all-wheel drive and engine capabilities.
