Opel Omega 1999 vs Toyota Camry 2017
| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Opel Omega) 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." | |||

| Power: | 100 HP | 150 HP | |
| Torque: | 205 NM | 199 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 15 seconds | 10.4 seconds | |
|
Toyota Camry is a more dynamic driving. Opel Omega engine produces 50 HP less power than Toyota Camry, but torque is 6 NM more than Toyota Camry. Due to the lower power, Opel Omega reaches 100 km/h speed 4.6 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 6.6 | no data | |
| Fuel tank capacity: | 75 litres | 60 litres | |

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 (Opel Omega) 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. | |||
| Ground clearance: | 140 mm (5.5 inches) | 127 mm (5 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Opel Omega can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Opel Omega version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 460'000 km | 350'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Opel Omega engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 3 years | 19 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Opel Vectra | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Toyota Avensis, Toyota RAV4 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota Camry might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Toyota Camry 2017 2.0 engine: Owners often report increasing oil consumption, which becomes particularly pronounced over time. Additionally, the water pump has a limited service life, and after 150,000 km, the timing chain tends to ... More about Toyota Camry 2017 2.0 engine | |||

Opel Omega has more luggage capacity. Opel Omega has 37 litres more trunk space than the Toyota Camry. | |||
| Turning diameter: | 11 meters | 11.4 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Opel Omega is 0.4 metres less than that of the Toyota Camry, which means Opel Omega can be easier to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Power steering: | Hydraulic power steering | Electric power steering | |
| Hydraulic power steering is technologically more complex, louder, increases fuel consumption and requires more servicing. It has the advantages of more power, less strain on the car's electrical system and better feedback (feeling) when steering. | |||
