Mercedes E class 2009 vs Toyota Camry 2009
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.1 Diesel | 2.4 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Mercedes E class) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Toyota Camry) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||

Performance | |||
| Power: | 204 HP | 167 HP | |
| Torque: | 500 NM | 224 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 7.2 seconds | 9.1 seconds | |
|
Mercedes E class is more dynamic to drive. Mercedes E class engine produces 37 HP more power than Toyota Camry, whereas torque is 276 NM more than Toyota Camry. Thanks to more power Mercedes E class reaches 100 km/h speed 1.9 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 6.2 | 8.5 | |
|
The Mercedes E class is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Mercedes E class consumes 2.3 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Toyota Camry, which means that by driving the Mercedes E class over 15,000 km in a year you can save 345 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 59 litres | 70 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 950 km in combined cycle | 820 km in combined cycle | |
| 1180 km on highway | 1040 km on highway | ||
| Mercedes E class gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Toyota Camry) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (Mercedes E class) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Engine production duration: | 16 years | 19 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 13 other car models, including Mercedes C klase, Mercedes ML, Mercedes A klase | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Toyota RAV4, Toyota Previa | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Mercedes E class engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| Mercedes E klase 2009 2.1 engine: The engine has a long service life if it is serviced on time and has reasonable fuel consumption. The most common problems are caused by the engine chain tensioner and the fuel delivery system. Toyota Camry 2009 2.4 engine: A fairly robust engine, easy to maintain and spare parts are readily available. Not too sensitive to fuel quality. High oil consumption and relatively short chain life (around 170 000 km). | |||
