- The Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are two of the most popular midsize sedans on the market. Both offer a smooth ride, plenty of interior space, strong fuel economy ratings, and plenty of tech features. So what separates these two cars and which one should you buy? In this video, we answer those questions and more. Ryan ZumMallen from Edmunds provides an in-depth look at these two popular sedans and details what you should know about each. It's Camry vs. Accord in this midsize sedan comparison test.
The 2020 Honda Accord is one of our personal favorites and was named the Edmunds Top Rated Sedan of 2020. On the road, the Accord is quiet, smooth, and just plain fun to drive-that's because it offers a pair of turbo engines and an available manual transmission. The Accord interior has a modern design with quality materials and offers plenty of legroom up front for taller passengers. As far as technology goes, the Accord is equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, LED lighting, and a wireless phone charger. It also features the Honda Sensing package that includes adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and traffic sign recognition.
There's a reason the Toyota Camry is the best-selling sedan in the U.S. The Camry's smooth ride, roomy interior, and abundance of trunk space are all features we've come to expect from a midsize sedan. New for 2020, Toyota added an all-wheel-drive option that had been absent from the Camry lineup since 1991. The Camry interior is a lesson in functionality and comfort. The controls are perfectly placed and labeled, and there's plenty of space in both the front and rear of the cabin.
The Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are two of the best midsize sedans on the market today. Both sedans offer tremendous value, plenty of room, comfort, and a smooth ride. It's really hard to go wrong with either, but we like the Honda Accord for the improved driving experience and greater cabin space. But which one is for you? We hope to answer that question in this midsize sedan comparison test of the Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry.

Accord
I have both of them in their current generation. The Accord is more fun to drive but its very low seat makes me more tired on longer trip than the Camry. The Camry is louder when accelerating from a complete stop but it is more quiet on highway speed and handle bumpy roads better. I choose to live with the Camry.
lol....have done multiple 900 mile road ttrips to NC the 2018 Accord. While it is low, it doesn't make me "tired", and you can raise the seat as high as you want it. Why would a low seat make you tired....that makes no sense. And if you want i higher, raise it higher.
@@donkey3187 That's his experience and opinion, respect it.
Which is the most comfortable in a non-sporty sense? I got a Mercedes E63S with the "comfort seats" and even in comfort mode it was rough. I was hoping for a comfortable car with a soft ride and a 600 hp engine. Now all I care about is a soft ride and I don't want to have to spend 6 figures to get it.
@@christhornycroft3686 As it says in the video, Camry is more comfy.
Exactly, the camry is more comfortable which I would take anyday over the punchy speed of the accord
I have a 2022 Honda Accord 2.0t.. it’s worth every penny!
My brother has 2012 accord it’s got 255 thousand miles and still pushing with no problem.
Good cars!
Yes, it's a good car with good engine if you don't mind paying more for gas
Any mechanic would tell you that a naturally aspirated engine with a torque converter transmission would be the best decision which is why I bought the Camry
What makes it the best?
The big thing that Toyota has over Honda is the available AWD system. I just recently purchased a 2021 Camry SE with AWD and I couldn’t be happier with it. The AWD makes it feel like I’m driving a bullet
Hi, I’m debating between these two cars . What was the final price for your Camry ? If you don’t mind me asking ?!
Thank you !
@@beckygomez-beaster2828 look at the mrsp of the 2022 camry and then look at dealerships, someone don’t mark up, some mark up way to much
@@mhmyuhh You gotta call every toyota dealer in your state to get a good deal lol
@@beckygomez-beaster2828 Toyota's are better then Honda's. They're more reliable
I really enjoyed this video.
If you merely think of a car as an apparatus to get from point A to point B, the Camry is the better appliance for the job. If you actually enjoy driving and want to be pleasantly engaged while doing so, the Accord is the better car for you.
Pretty much. But they are both more than competent choices for either application. The Accord chassis is just superior.
Honda's are not fun to drive, good grief. All the Honda's I've had was lame. When I drive my modified Toyota's they turn heads and they're actually fun when I'm cruising around town.
I don't want to drive an Applicance. hence the camry.
@@static_Tricolor_camryI think that’s just a subjective thing for you
I prefer the Accord Sport 2.0T. It continues to be the top ranked mid-sized sedan in Car&Driver, Motor Trend, Edmunds, KBB and US News.
I have a 2021 Honda Accord 2.0T absolutely love it. I looked at the Camry but I just liked the Accord better. It has more leg room and the cabin inside in bigger.
@@MexicoTijuana741 I love my '20 Accord Touring 2.0T also! Man, this car is fun to drive!
Camry can feel and look boring but in the world of vehicles that’s not a bad thing at all! I’d take boring but reliable any day!
Accord looks better and has slightly sportier handling. The Accord has more rear legroom, the Camry has better rear headroom. The Camry has a better ride, is more efficient and for the base engine that most people will pick, the Camry is more powerful. Give me the Accord looks and the Camry ride comfort and powertrain please.
I had an Accord and now I have a Camry....If you want a reliable car for many years go with Camry....I love my Camry 😍
Honestly you are gonna be fine reliability wise with both cars
@@md-80enjoyer95 Getting the turbo is risky.
@@stumarston6812 don't know if a turbo charged engine will last as long as a normal gasoline aspirated engine
@@md-80enjoyer95 this gen accords isn’t that reliable.
Camery is ugly on the interior
I owned a 2019 Accord Sport until it was totaled in an accident a few weeks ago. It was mildly irritating from the day I bought it. I thought I would get used to its quirks but never did. The turbo and CVT lag were regular frustrations. The car was LOUD and the ride always felt unsettled. The steering was overly heavy, requiring more work to drive the car. I now own a 2022 Camry SE. I'm much happier with the Camry too! It's quiet! Did I mention that it's quiet? I no longer need to crank up the music to try and drown out road noise. That was a problem with the Accord. The Camry feels much more planted and controlled. I was always a Honda guy until I bought my first Camry. Honda will have to make some major changes to win back my business...improve sound deadening, drop the CVT or at least add simulated shift points in everyday driving, and get rid of the 19" tires...they are unpleasant for everyday driving!
The problem with your Accord was that you bought the wrong one. You should have opted for the Accord with the 2.0T engine and 10 speed automatic. I guarantee your opinion would be different. It transforms the Accord from its lesser 1.5T variant.
@@a32tl only thing is that you gotta pay a good amount more for that engine and transmission. The SE Camry and all other Camrys excluding the hybrids come with automatic transmissions instead of a CVT. And while it's even more money there's the V6 Camry with a little over 300 horsepower. I love the standard features and overall interior space in the Accord more but I like that Toyota chose to stick with a normal automatic transmission and a naturally aspirated engine instead of a turbocharged one.
I definitely agree with you on the Accord! When i drove my cousins accord, it felt like a boat and the lag just made the driving experience very unpleasant.
I don't believe you! Once you own a Honda Accord you can't go back to (Appliance Camry)
@@kevinbonquyquy1047 I have the 2021 Accord Sport 2.0T and love everything about it especially the overall performance. It's quick and the handling and stopping power are amazing.
Honda with those turbos...no thanks! I've had my 2020 Camry LE for two years...I couldn't be happier with the rock solid quality...especially of the Dynamic Force 2.5 4 cyl engine. I made the correct choice.
You sure did. I bet you got that switchblade key eh
Modern turbo cars are pretty reliable
You’re obviously biased favoring the Accord. I saw another video where they took the actual noise levels and the Camry was quieter, except during acceleration
I’m planning on a 2023 or 22 Accord Hybrid. Hopefully there will be some available in a month!!
As far as I seen comment people they used to had Honda but then once they drive a Camry they absolutely love the Camry ! Of corse I drove Corolla and Camry on rental car it’s realible and safe for a long trip ! Good gas essp gas this days way too high !
The main thing the Camry has over the Accord is available AWD, albeit only with the 4 cyl. Also, if you prefer naturally aspirated to turbocharged then Camry is the one to go with, and if you prefer conventional automatic to CVT then you can get that on the base Camry, while you have to move up to the Sport model on the Accord.
Camry does not have cvt at all
@@dfhhtyu3434 True except I believe for the hybrid version.
AWD is the most overrated thing about a car.
@@bobvance- really? I’ve never had an AWD car. How do they perform in muddy roads? I guess I’m just curious now I’ve never heard anyone say overrated…
@@dfhhtyu3434 For this generation, the only camry that doesn't have cvt is the v6 it has a 8 speed. 4 cylinders have cvt and the hybrid has ecvt.
I sense bias, both are great cars in my opinion never mention there are no rear ac vents in the accord Camry does or the accord has a more plastic interior
have they fixed the heavy bottoming out when hitting pot holes and slinging things all over the car because of G force body sway
I have a 2019 Touring and do love it. I generally get better gas mileage than that. Usually around 24-25 in town and 34-35 on a long highway trip.
The Accord Touring is best one to buy if you can afford it.
Ive had 2 Honda Accords... this last one 15 years ild.. debating on another Honda Accord or a crv?
Exactly, I test drove both. i love the power of the accord 2.0, but the seats are too low and hard. I choose the camry xse v6
Honestly, as far as the Accord, I can only afford the 1.5 Liter paired with the CVT version. Would you still favor it over the Camry SE, despite concerns of oil dilution, turbo and CVT usage? I have narrowed my search down to these two vehicles.
As a accord 2.0 owner I would have no issue buying a Honda CVT. If you take care of you car as far as oil/transmission fluid you'll be ok. Supposedly the oil dilution issue was fixed and would be reflected in the late 19 accords.
well...when u talk base models...i will suggest the camry.....i was in the market 9 months ago, and got entry level camry le...2 BIG REASON....honda accord has a CVT..I hate them....have driven them, u could not give me one...and also....the base accord has the 1.5 liter turbo, has had oil dillusion problems...and will not last as long the engine compared to the non turbo camry...
I Don't want a TURBO!
You certainly need one!
No reason to not "wantt" a turbo...they drive great.
I still love the Camry for it's structure, performance and everything about it❤❤.
From the get go, this video was anything but partial. At least pretend to try.
I own neither, but recently test drove the Accord, Insight and the Camry. If I was to buy one, it would be the Camry. Don't get me wrong, the Honda's were nice but for the extra money, the additional features and fluff were not stuff I would need or use. I thought the Camry was a better/smoother ride. As I don't tend to abuse my vehicles or need to show off... why pay more to "feel sporty" as this review wants you to believe?
I’d pick and have and always will pick Toyota Camry ❤
Which has the more comfortable seats in your opinion? FWIW, I’m 6ft 200lbs.
probably camry
What about the hybrids? Adequate acceleration? Quiet on the highway?
My brother inlaw has a 2020 camry hybrid le. He loves it. Getting close to 50 miles to gallon. Acceleration is decent and is quiet at highway. The engine noise is a little unrefined when driving more aggressively.
I just traded in my 2016 dodge challenger scat pack 392 6mt for a 2019 honda accord 2.0t with 10 speed auto. Lol I went from a 485hp car to a 252hp. But I'm not complaining, this accord is a sleeper. Not as quick as my challenger but still fun to drive.
@@djoj1986 why did you trade in your challenger? I've always wanted to get one, but I feel like my desire to do so has slowly diminished over the years.
@@djoj1986 you traded in a challenger and got a downgrade..?? hondas not bad but you could definitely have gotten another sportier car
@@mhmyuhh the family got tried of the 2 doors. And I'm on workers comp since feb so I'm not making as much a I used to and gas was killing me too. Had to make cuts. Since I had equity on the challenger I payed off some credit cards.
I had my fun with it and got in trouble with it too. It was time to let it go.
The Camry's interior looks more sporty and stylish with the reds, but I would choose the Accord for spacious cabin and comfortable ride.
The camry interior iis ugly. The accord interior looks great.
Let's see how long those Honda turbo engines last.
My thoughts exactly
It won't last long. That's why Toyota's kept their engines Naturally Aspirated, cause Toyota builds their cars with quality and reliability. A factory Turbo charger engine won't last 10 years, Honda's are also second reliable to Toyota's. I know this cause I've had both, Toyota's don't leave me stranded. All the Honda's I had the starter went out on me and the alternator died when I was far away from my hometown that's why I'll never buy a Honda again. I made the switch to Toyota and never looked back.
@@static_Tricolor_camry I totally agree with what you said about the starters and alternators going out on hondas. I've had one starter to go out on my 2015 honda accord v6 before it was 6 years old that cost me 764.00 dollars and 2 alternators on a 2003 honda accord at around 500.00 a pop and once away from home. Nevertheless I still like hondas and will own my v6 until it dies. I did purchase a new 2018 toyota camry xse in June of 2018 and have not had one problem yet. I'm also very anal about vehicle maintenance
@@static_Tricolor_camryum i hope you’re being sarcastic about alternators and starters going out. They eventually go out no matter the vehicle. Especially considering toyota and Honda often outsource the same brands for both items. I’ve replaced many of them on Toyotas. Also the Highlander now has a turbo 2.5, surely the Camry will receive it to
2023 Camry XSE v6 in supersonic red two tone black roof. All day long!!
Inasmuch as I currently own a 2010 Camry and still love it, I will never buy another Camry. I just never got comfortable with the excessive mesh structure on the front grill. In driving from St Johns to Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, the front grill on the 2010....was covered with baked-on insects. I was readily able to wipe-off the insects. If it was a 2020 Camry, forget about it, those insects would have gone into the mesh, making it difficult to impossible to clean out. Correct me if I am wrong, isn't the AC Condenser vanes located behind the front grill? If the AC Condenser vanes become too corroded i.e. with baked-on insects, will it not lowers the efficiency of the AC?
Simple fix - Just drive in the winter lol.
I test drove a 2.0T Touring Accord and there must've been something wrong with it because I can't figure out what is so exciting about them. Not impressive to me at all.
I don't understand why these companies like Honda go for the turbo crap route why can't they go 2.5 4 cylinder engines like Mazda and Toyota with 8-speed Transmissions like Toyota the cars amazing and more than powerful enough turbo junk is no good for reliability I guess they don't care more engines burn out the more money they make.
If your going the budget route get the Camry Its less complicated and it doesn't have a CVT transmission and I bet it gets better gas mileage too.
Not to mention reliability wat better and fit and finish
CAMRY for meeeeee!!!
But not for meeeeee!!! Don't you seeeeee?
@@mikebingham9700 I'm not you
@@fcsmusicgh1774 You are Camry!
Toyota Camry the better car. Turbo crap no thanks CVT transmission no thanks sucks 2.5 engine zippy more reliable to me it's not even close Toyota by a landslide especially if you keep the car 12 years or longer
The Camry is the Sedan I would pick 😊
I think you have been hired by a dealer for all these propaganda, I'm sure buyers that are well informed know which to choose.
Which is more reliable and will last longer?
They both are, they both have the best reliability ratings in their class.
Depends ,for this i'd say it's a tie but usually toyota has the slightest edge over honda, but honda is no slouch...
Both will last good. A turbo charged one may not last long enough in a comparison with naturally aspirated engine. Camry will have less problems compared to Honda with my experience. But honda is fun to drive. That's why an all wheel v6 camry is a better option as it drives better and may last longer.
I think Camry and Toyota in general have a slight edge in reliability over the Accord and Honda.
camry will last longer without a doubt
Camry is better
My biggest problem is that Camry's design is lousy
ugly on the inside
I have to say I hate,HATE, those skinny side wall tires…. On both
Both are great choices to choose from. But I would pick the Camry over the Accord. The Accord is too long in size for me.
Accord el más premiado automóvil en su historia 👌💣
I like both but choosing one I'd have to live with...I would probably go with the Camry because if you don't have a turbo nothing can go wrong with it. If they break, they are expensive to fix.
Accord the best ❤
Camry. A N/A motor will be more reliable long term.
Don't need exciting! Noise diff. important. Accord has little road clearance. Bumper? taken off by parking blocks. Sensible is good.
I have owned both brands. Accord Prelude
I love my Accord 1.5L…. 33 mpg in city, and 38 mpg on highway. I wish I could have got a hybrid, but they’re very difficulty to find.
You can order one from there dealership. But call around prices vary. Some charge just the MSRP and others make you pay more...because of the shortage of cars.
Camry the best
Toyota and Honda ❤❤❤
This isn't a good comparison because the Accord 2.0 4cyl is the faster and less fuel efficient that's supposed to be compared to the uplevel Camry V6 engine not this 2.5 4cyl. The 1.5 4cyl and the 2.5 4cyl should be compared for fuel economy.
Explain better for what ???
Accord is the bast
Accord forever🥰
Accord touring is the best
I had a 2020 Toyota Camry se and I still have my 2017 Honda accord ex 2.4L, EXI kept The Honda easier to handle easier to drive, it's quicker better gas, much easier to view driving blindsides, The Accord feels more like a sporty sedan, i have also driven the 2020 2.0 turbo Accord and that feels more like a sports sedan than the Camry, i was really impressed, The Camry my visibility was much more restrictive, its nosier, The Honda just felt so much better and easier to drive
I don’t want AWD!
the winner is accrod for me
Accord looks sportier.
I just bought a Camry ! 🏌️
Oh, Im so sorry
Honda accord sport
Camry
This guy's wearing a pregnant women shirt
For me Accord all the way. I have owned an Accord since 1994 and just love the Accords. Camry is nice no doubt, but I am not a Toyota person.
I drove both camry and accord, accord is a better car period.
The Camry is still an Appliance sedan (Boring). The Accord is the exciting car to Drive, as you feel fully engaged driving the Accord, all the time. (Make mine an Accord Sport)
with a 6-speed manual. Appliance Camry doesn't even offer a 6-speed manual. Boring! The Accord is the Champion, once again!
My man, Not at all !!! Hyundai SONATA, pop up Furst !!!!!!!!
hahahahahaha...NOT!!!!
Sonatas are incredibly good cars, and a better value then both.
Camrys are extremely slow cars. They do not have adequate acceleration. Accords, on the other hand, are reasonably fast cars that are capable of zipping up a mountain road. Camrys do not have that capability.
Camrys have 184 torque at 5000 rpm. Accords have 192 torque at 1600 rpm. 184 vs 192 is a small difference. But 5000 rpm vs 1600 rpm is huge.
I know that explains why they sell so many of them
Camrys can’t make it up hills ? Fuck.
@@ryanstaunton421 2018 and newer Camrys struggle. 2017 and older Camrys could make it just fine.
@@brandonhumble3595 The 2018 and newer Camrys are not the Camrys that we all know and love. Toyota screwed up
@@octaviusmigtonius2965 where I live has hills. Shit why would they make a car that can’t get up hills? Wow lol
The Camry is nicer! Nice firm seats, nice ride, great mpg.
This video is totally biased toward the accord.
Accord is a pice of crap trust me we own a 2019 touring 2.0
What kind of buyer would take a Camry over an accord? Only the most uneducated buyer out there. The accord is for the real smart responsible safe pragmatic shopper
Anyone who would choose a CVT transmission over the standard 8spd auto in the Camry isn't educated all. CVT transmissions are junk and one doesn't need a college degree to know that.
@@frederickdouglass7517 you know the accord offers a 10 speed in the 2.0 right?
😂
@@competitiveautomotive5457 Yes I do but the standard 1.5L Accord comes with the CVT transmission. The 2.0L version costs a lot more money, not saying that it wouldn't be my first choice if money was no object.
@Gran Tree Mo Honda CVTs are reliable lol. These aren’t jatco CVTs you know
Camry has more to offer for different buyers, V6, hybrid, traditional look, sporty look 4cylinder.
Toyota also uses a timing ⛓️ chain vs timing belt on the accord. Timing chain rarely ever breaks, the accord has an expensive service. Camry has slightly more safety with more seatbelts and some other features.
