Camry or Crown: which Toyota sedan fits Atlanta drivers?
Atlanta drivers who put price and fuel economy first should look at the Camry; drivers who want more room and a higher seating position will prefer the Crown. We carry both sedans at 5800 Peachtree Blvd, so you can compare them side by side in town.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Atlanta. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
Atlanta drivers pick the Camry for price and mpg, the Crown for space
The Camry starts at $29,600 for the 2026 LE, and the Crown starts at $41,640 for the XLE. The Camry’s hybrid trims carry the higher EPA combined figures, at 46 to 51 mpg, while the Crown’s hybrid AWD is rated 41 combined. Both sedans seat five. The Crown offers 38.9 inches of second-row legroom against the Camry’s 38.0.
How much do a new Camry and a new Crown cost?
Toyota’s published starting MSRP for the 2026 Camry begins at $29,600 for the LE and reaches $37,525 for the XSE AWD. The 2026 Crown begins at $41,640 for the XLE and reaches $55,190 for the Platinum. That gap is the first number most Atlanta buyers weigh.
Georgia adds a title tax on top of the price, so the tax follows whichever sedan you pick. Georgia levies no sales tax on a titled vehicle purchase and instead charges Title Ad Valorem Tax at a current rate of 7.0% of the fair market value of the vehicle, a one-time tax paid when the vehicle is titled (Georgia Department of Revenue, 2026). On a Camry at the starting price, that tax is calculated on the same fair market value rule as on a Crown, so a higher sticker means a higher title tax.
What are the EPA mpg ratings for the Camry and the Crown?
The Camry hybrid is the more efficient of the two. The 2026 Camry HEV FF LE is rated 52 city, 49 highway and 51 combined. The all-wheel-drive Camry HEV AWD LE is rated 50 city, 49 highway and 50 combined, while the XSE AWD drops to 43 combined.
The Crown’s hybrid AWD is rated 42 city, 41 highway and 41 combined. The Crown Platinum’s 2.4-liter hybrid is rated 30 combined. A buyer who drives mostly in stop-and-go traffic on city streets will see the Camry’s city numbers, which run highest on the front-wheel-drive LE.
How do the Camry and Crown compare in length and ground clearance?
The 2026 Camry LE is 193.5 inches long, 72.4 inches wide and 56.9 inches tall, with 5.4 inches of ground clearance. The 2026 Crown XLE is 196.1 inches long, 72.4 inches wide and 60.6 inches tall, with 5.8 inches of ground clearance.
The Crown’s 0.4-inch edge in ground clearance matters little on city streets.
How do the Camry and Crown compare on price, mpg, power and warranty?
| Model | Starting MSRP (2026) | EPA combined mpg | Horsepower | Second-row legroom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Camry | $29,600 (LE) | 51 (HEV FF LE) | 225 (LE FWD) | 38.0 in |
| Toyota Crown | $41,640 (XLE) | 41 (Hybrid AWD) | 236 (XLE) | 38.9 in |
Both sedans carry the same manufacturer coverage: a 36-month/36,000-mile basic warranty, a 60-month/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 60-month/unlimited-mile corrosion warranty.
When is the Camry or the Crown the wrong sedan for you?
The Camry suits a buyer who wants the lower price and the higher mpg. The Crown suits a buyer who sits behind the wheel for long commutes on I-75 or I-85 and wants more room in the second row. If you carry tall cargo or need a higher seating position, the Crown’s extra height is the reason to choose it.
If your budget will not reach the Crown’s $41,640 starting price, the Camry is the sedan to start with.

Which Camry and Crown trims come with all-wheel drive?
The 2026 Camry offers all-wheel drive on the LE AWD, SE AWD, Nightshade AWD and XLE AWD and XSE AWD trims, and on the hybrid AWD LE, SE/XLE and XSE trims. The Crown’s hybrid AWD is rated 41 mpg combined.
Are the Camry and the Crown both hybrids?
The Camry is available as a hybrid across its lineup, with an EPA rating from 43 to 52 mpg depending on trim. The Crown’s hybrid AWD is rated 41 mpg combined, and the Crown Platinum is listed at 340 horsepower with 264 engine-only horsepower.
What warranty comes with a new Camry or Crown?
Both carry a 36-month/36,000-mile basic warranty, a 60-month/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 60-month/unlimited-mile corrosion warranty.

Yes. Every Camry trim listed seats five, and so does every Crown trim, from the XLE through the Platinum.
