Engines: What’s the Difference?
Keith Pierson Toyota has been selling vehicles for decades. We know that our customers rely on our cars to help them achieve their goals day in and day out. However, many might not think about the core of the vehicle itself: the engine. There are as many different engines, and each of them serve different purposes. So when you’re looking for a new vehicle like the 2019 Toyota Camry, we’re going to help you out by telling you the ins and outs of different engines Toyota has to offer.
4-Cylinder Engines
These have become one of the most versatile and varied engines on the market. Powering everything from compact vehicles like Toyota Corolla to versatile crossovers like the Toyota RAV4, the 4-cylinder engine is the perfect blend of power and efficiency. With increased concern for reducing emissions, the V4 has become the engine of choice for gas/electric hybrids and vehicles who are concerned with getting the highest MPGs possible.
V6 Engines
These are more suited towards full-size sedans and entry-level pickup trucks, like the Camry XSE V6, Toyota Highlander, and the Toyota Tacoma. MPG efficiency takes a hit, and they mostly stick around the 20-25 combined mpg mark, but with that tradeoff you’re getting a wide boost in horsepower and towing capacity over the V4 and straight 4-cylinders, which don’t have too much in that regard.
V8 Engines
Now you’re hauling with power! V8 engines come with vehicles that are designed to power through tasks. You’ll find them on the heavy-duty vehicles Toyota has to offer, like the Tundra, Sequoia, and the ultimate in luxury Sport Utility Vehicles, the 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser. MPG is low here, but when you choose a V8, you’re not looking for efficiency – you’re looking for capability.
