Is the Toyota Highlander equally as strong as the Toyota Camry?

Ð4MÃN!? (End the Fed!) · 11 Jul 2010, 04:56 pm

The Toyota Camry and Toyota Highlander both have a 3.5L V6 Engine.

Does this mean that they are just as strong? or perform equally as well?

Thanks.

Yes, they are the same car with a different body.

They do share the same platform or frame, so essentially they are "the same car with different bodies". However, they can't be directly compared for strength or performance. An SUV performs different than a car, even when that SUV is built on that car's platform. The SUV has a higher ground clearance and is taller than the car' but it actually has less cargo space than the car. It gets lower fuel economy, but it has slightly higher horsepower. You also get a higher towing capacity with the Highlander. So to compare performance, you have to identify what parameters you are wanting to compare and define what indicates the performance for that parameter as to good.

both have the same power. but no they don't perform the same.

one is a car, one is an SUV. the car will go faster than the suv because it is lighter, also has better aero dynamics.

they do have the same platform, but the camry will handle better because its lower so it has a lower center of gravity. also its lighter.

same power, but camry is lighter, so they won't perform the same.
