EJ I knew these guys are experts. I have a 2014 Hybrid Camry G Package. My car does 0- 60 in 7.5 secs and less times. I have also out ran 2014 Hybrid Accords. Hey I guess it's the driver of the car that makes the difference lol.
I like fast cars but want to have an economy vehicle to save much more money and repair costs so I can afford a much more exciting sports car for my personal fun.
@@ericinfante1885 also consider the prius if you are wanting a hybrid. They get a lot better gas mileage and have a hatchback. They do sacrifice some cabin space and hp. But definitely go for the camry if it's 2018 or newer.
I said it once and I’ll say it again, if you want a car for the looks and luxury, get a Camry, if you want a car for speed and the engine, get a accord, simple
Gents, THIS is the kind of review I prefer. Don't get me wrong, your usual work is fine, but for the life of me, I really do hate having to come back every few days to see bits and pieces of a review of the same car(s). I've said it time and time again on this channel, I appreciate a new video every day, but will ALWAYS prefer quality over sheet quantity.
My Chevy Volt just turned 12,000 miles after 8 months of driving. I have a 145 mpg lifetime average since I bought it new. It goes 45-51 miles on electricity, then the gas generator kicks in seamlessly for limitless range. Most owners who drive less than 40 miles per day get 900 mpg lifetime ave. I have never changed my oil (75% oil life left), and rarely use my brakes due to the instant regenerative brakes as I let up off the throttle (totally awesome in heavy traffic). It hasn't had a single problem since I bought the car, not even a single rattle. The maintenance schedule up to 120,000 miles is basically rotate tires and check fluid levels. Virtually no maintenance. I have 274 lbs of torque at 0 rpm, so leaving cars at lights is easy. 0-60 in about 8.5 secs, a very low center of gravity for good handling, and looks better than most cars. The Volt will be like the EV1... People will cry when it's gone because they didn't know enough about what a phenomenal car it truly is. The car seats 4 in bucket seats, which may be a deal breaker for people looking for more than 3 passengers. It has been the top rated car for customer satisfaction for a couple of years. Mine cost $22,195 after $9,000 in Fed and Ca. Credits and rebates. They are even cheaper than that now.
You really can't beat either of these cars, it's really down to preference. I'm personally a Toyota fan, because I've experienced how reliable they are time after time, and that factor keeps bringing me back. Although I do like how premium the Accord feels.
Very good comparison, guys! I respect the opinion of those who like the Accord's styling better, but I happen to like the Camry a smidge better (external). Interior goes to the Accord though. Honda really has done a great job with this car. Thanks guys!
I would still choose the Camry Hybrid over the Accord Hybrid. Yeah Accord may be a better car than the Camry but I'm not sure if they are that reliable. I'm having some issues with my 2009 Accord V6 VCM now. I remember way back then, before I purchased this car new, many car reviews praised this Accord for it's performance and design. But now, I cannot keep this car due to it's electrical issues. My brother that bought a 2007 Camry LE V6 never had any issue in his car.
Honda has hit a home-run with the new Accord hybrid! Class leading 50mpg city, and a sharp looking car that is actually fun to drive. I hope Honda expands its new hybrid system across all of its models in the near future.
at this time (unless they edit vid) the pop-ups for the MPG is flipped at 4:40 & 4:56. Correct MPG is: Honda Accord Hybrid: 50/45/47 Toyota Camry Hybrid LE 43/39 XLE 40/38
Great video guys. I would just like to point out that the Camry's MPG specifications were shown when the Accord was on screen, and the Accord's MPG specifications were shown when the Camry was being shown. May be confusing to the audience.
At 4:54 when discussing the Honda, and earlier when discussing the Toyota, the lower 3rd graphics are associated with the wrong car. The Toyota is 30C/38H and the Honda is 50C/45H - - Maybe you can insert a graphic fixing that?
I like the styling of the Camry, but I have to give it to the Accord. Every Honda I've had was simply awesome. I'm not a fan of hybrids, but if I were to get one, it would be the Accord. Very interesting car. I'd still take an V-6 Accord.
4bryan4 2013 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V-6 (Manual) 0-60 mph 5.5, Quarter Mile 13.8 -VS- 2013 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Convertible (Manual) 0-60 mph 4.5 Quarter Mile 12.9 -VS- 2013 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible SS 1LE (Manual) 0-60 mph 4.2, Quarter Mile 12.5. Wanna try again? What are you comparing? Modern Honda Accord V6 to old late 90's Mustangs and Camaros??? Mustang GT's in the late 90's (2 valve SOHC 4.6L 260hp) were slow compared to the new 4 valve DOHC 5.0L 420hp ones now. You can't compare old vs new. New vs New the Mustang GT and Camaro SS as you see are faster and those are the numbers for the convertibles that are a little heavier and usually a little slower than the coupes. So, yeah. There's no way. Look the numbers up for yourself if you don't believe me. Motor Trend, Car and Driver you pick they're all close. Honda Accord V-tec V6's have always been fast for what they are. FWD family sedans. I'm a huge fan and I drive a Honda myself so no, I'm not hating on Hondas. I just pointing out real life facts!
im talking new gens manual accord vs auto most the time cuz thts all they make now.. and the price range compared to a v6 accord vs a camaro ss is double .. ... u can compare the accord to the camaro v6 but it still has a slower time 0-100 then the accord when accord has 280 hp but thts only because manual kills it by a second.. so im done here. accord 28gs mustang 32gs lol
Like the Accord Hybrid but sure wish they'd bring back a hatchback version. Or, maybe Honda could make the Crosstour better looking and put the Accord Hybrid engine in that.
One thing I've noticed about the 2013 and 2014 Accords is that the front passenger leg room is significantly smaller. I'm 6-foot tall and my legs are bent at a 45 degree angle when the passenger seat is all the way back. My 2003 honda accord model has much more leg room. Why????? This is keeping us from buying a new accord.
I don't think I'd ever get a hybrid anytime soon. Reason being is that most mechanics won't touch it so you're stuck taking it to the dealer and if you break down in an area where there is no dealer nearby or they're not open then you're SOL.
The same is true nowadays with all cars not just -hybrids. They all are now fully loaded with all kind of electronics. But new cars have typically free roadside assistance and more reliable than an old car without all these high tech electronics.
I just saw the consumer reports video of Honda Accord hybrid VS Honda Accord 4 cyl, turns out Accord hybrids actual MPGs aren't close to the EPA estimated 48 and Accord hybrid handling in emergency situations is poor, also the trunk loses a lot of space and no spare tire included. Consumer Reports recommend to buy a Camry hybrid instead which doesn't give many complications like the Accord hybrid. Also the Camry starts at 27k the Accord starts at 29k.
Test drove both of these cars and, to be honest, I wasn't impressed by the Accord like these paid fanboys were. I am 6' tall and a hearty 225 pounds. I could barely get my legs to fit in the Accord Hybrid and the engine felt sluggish in all three modes. In contrast, I felt comfortable in the Camry hybrid, had plenty of leg room, and the drive-by-wire feel was amazingly responsive. The Honda interior was not nearly as finished as the Camry and the comparable luxury and technology packages on the Accord to match the Camry's XLE would have pushed the Accord's price closer to $40k. I am not sure why these guys compared a lower level model of Accord to the Camry XLE but I am guessing it was to reduce the weight of the Accord to give it an advantage in their little "race".
usxinfinity Did you watch the video? They're driving the top-of-the-line Touring model (the LED headlights give it away). The Accord is loaded. Also, I'm 6'1" and 250 lbs. I test-drove an Accord Hybrid this morning and had no trouble with leg room. You must be 75% leg.
Tom Eisenmenger Typical Accord fan. I've owned both. Camry wins and my Camry Hybrid XLE has LED headlights. Do your homework. I bet you hit your legs on the steering column/lower console 8 out of 10 times. You are showing a lot of bias via all of your other comments.
Matt James ...as you are showing your own Camry bias. I'm just saying that I fit just fine in my Accord and in the HAH I test drove with no leg hitting the steering column or console. Then again, I don't feel the need to "man-spread." If it makes you feel any better, I do plan to test-drive a Camry Hybrid but it'll have to be far improved over the '07 TCH I test-drove back in '07 - that car was wanting
It's not about hitting your legs while you're driving...but every time you try to get into the Accord. It noticeably sticks out in comparison to the Camry. You can't really comment since the last test drove you took of a TCH was back in '07. Eight years...so much fine tuning and upgrading. I had an '09 Accord coupe and while it was a great car, it was sluggish around corners, slow as hell off the line, and the interior hadn't been changed since '06. I gave both the TCH and the Accord a test drive last September and there was NO comparison. The 2014.5 TCH won hands-down.
JDM-House The new Hyundais aren't bad at all, really, I mean yea, Hyundai and Kia has made shitty plastic crappy cars back throughout the past, but they improved the brands' automobiles in 2010 or later and now they don't look like shitty plastic crappy cars they used to make back in the day, now they are looking much better and nicer looking cars. I still prefer Accord Hybrid, but I prefer the Sonata Hybrid over the dull-looking Camry Hybrid anyday, the Sonata is better gas mileage than Camry and a better luxurious interior.
There is a mistake in the video. At 5:00 it says 40 city & 38 highway mpg for the accord. And at 4:36 it says the camry gets 50 city & 45 highway mpg. They should be switched.
If you shut the ECO button off the Honda Accord Hybrid it will go even faster. I got into the 7's with mine. Also make sure the heater and AC are off. Enjoy
I was in the market for a new Camry, yes, I have a 2002 with over 219,000 miles and it is still runs very well. However, this new design really sucks and I am holding out to see what happens next year. Honda is ok but I had a really bad experience with one so not very interested in Honda anymore.
dvdrummer vann Constant transmission problems with my Accord. It was a used car so it might have just been a lemon but it was the worst used car that I ever had. Hate judging all Hondas based on my experience but I have had multiple used Toyotas and my experience has never been that bad.
What is the cost of each component of the hybrid system? How much does the 2.0 Atkinson cycle DOHC i-VTECH engine, two hybrid motors system, Lithium Ion Battery, and PCU cost? How long do these parts last? This needs to be addressed before buying the Hybrid Accord. Please help. Thank you.
Based on safety/crash rating alone, Accord already wins. My families got both manufactures over 30 yrs. Still got both cars in our lots. I've checked out both cars in car shows for the 2014 model. Based on this video, I got a better understanding of road drive. I would pick the Accord. Now my dilemma is which to buy, between Accord vs Ford Fusion hybrid.
I know you guys are experts. I have a 2014 Hybrid Camry G Package. My car does 0- 60 in 7.5 secs and less times. I have also out ran 2014 Hybrid Accords. Hey I guess it's the driver of the car that makes the difference lol.
I have the 2014 Accord LX CVT and this is the m.p.g that I have been able to get on the expressway...42.0. Will send you a picture as soon as I can figure out on my phone how...
I am 6 ft 4 inch 255 pounds and I sit just fine and perfectly comfortable in my 2014 camry and I'll take it any day over a Honda but my only complaint is the plastic peice on the side of the seat broke that has the seat controls but this 2014 Camry is a very nice car!
Great video guys! Really like your style and presentation. Only thing I don't like about the new Accord Hybrid - I can't frickin' get one! Honda has only made about 1,500 of these so far. The color and trim I want is almost nowhere to be found. Finally broke down last week and placed a factory order. May have to wait 3 months or so. But I do love the electric drive modes. I really wanted to buy a Tesla Model S. But I don't have $80,000 to spend on a car. The Accord Hybrid is a good compromise :D
Correct, but I drive the 2013 Camry Hybrid (basically same as this model) and if the car is in the Eco Mode vs not the car actually uses far less power and you must take it out of that mode, by pushing the button in front of the gear shift.
In consumer reports the Camry was marginally quicker and quite a bit better at passing than the Accord hybrid. The Camry was also rated higher. The Accord had a stiff ride.
Honda Accord on screen info is 40/38 MPG and you said combine is 47MPG? I was confused. Turns out you guys had your on screen information mixed up between the two. Honda Accord is 50/45 and Toyota Camry is the 40/38 MPG.
Off topic a little but my new accord coupe with the v6, my fourth Honda car, really should be called a Prelude. The coup with the v6 feels like a completely different car from my neighbors four cylinder sedan. All of my Honda cars, motorcycles, lawnmowers and generators. have been rock solid reliable. The three Toyotas I've owned have been just as reliable. Honda seems to be getting the mojo back.
FINALLY a honda nathan doesnt despise. in terms of midsizes, i would take an accord first, then probably a passat even though the passat is pretty dated to look at inside and out. they just ride so nice though. the honda is just fresh all around.
Yeah but in terms of long term investment return the accord's got it down. i also like the fact its one of the last midsizes offering a stick on multiple trims, a coupe EXL v6 with a 6 speed manual, and a naturally aspirated 278 horse V6.
No doubt. The Accord is the benchmark in its class as always. And in terms of resale value, the Accord is top shelf.. But for just a sweet riding fun mid sizer with a nice exterior/ interior the 6 is pretty sweet.
2 things. What trim is the Accord? The Accord fights the Avalon as well and the Camry. Of course the Accord is going to offer more than the Camry. Also, the Accord looks VERY similar to a ES350. From 2007. How is THAT one the more modern looking? I agree that the Accord looks better, but that is because the Camry's looks have deteriorated since 3rd/4th gen. Of course you would do well to get either one. I would go with the Camry since Toyota has more experience with the hybrids and if you plan on keeping the car until it dies, there will be more of the Camrys on the road.
Both are great cars, but I went with the Camry because they are listed as the #1 car to reach over 200k miles on every report with the majority to easily pass >300k miles. Honda makes it from time to time, but not every report.
Great review, but I'm confused how the Avalon with the same engine is faster? I really like the Honda but for midsize hybrid sedan the Camry is still the proven winner in my opinion.
When the Accord hybrid is on the road you can tell its a hybrid by looking at the wheels its has a slight blue tint to the head lights and the Camry looks like a typical camry you would see everyday. On the camry you cant tell if its a hybrid or not UNLESS you come up close to listen to the sound even the 2015 Camry is the same story. Even the Camry does NOT have LED lights in which the Accord has
The new Honda Accord Hybrid is amazing and sets the bar very high for others to reach. Great review on a great car.
I don't always drive affordable cars.. But when I do, I prefer the Accord..
Accord also received a "GOOD" safety rating while Camry was "Acceptable" to "Marginal" according to actual Crash Tests!
In fact, Honda outperformed most other sedans in it's safety rank.
I would say Honda all the way!
They mistakenly swapped the MPG ratings right? Accord has 50 and the Camry has 43.
editing mistakes happen lol both are still great cars
Toyota hybrid, the engine doesnt run in a parking lot, the Honda engine does run in a parking lot.
Myron Helton Ummmmm... No, I don't believe it does (if you meant when you're standing still).
16:48, during the 8.22 run in the Accord, it is clearly in Econ mode as indicated by the green leaves on the upper left part of the gauge cluster.
So is the Camry
You got the MPGs backwards. The Accord is 50/45.
16:46 See that little green light on the left of speedometer? Roman, you forgot to turn off ECO mode in your 0-60 run.
?
camry run in ECO mode too, i think that's correct

I gave both the TCH and the Accord a test drive last September and there was NO comparison. The 2014.5 TCH won hands-down.
Fair enough. I plan on giving the TCH a test drive soon. It'll have to be stellar to beat the Accord Hybrid, though.
A camry for 35k? That is a rip off! There are so many other cars out there that are much better for that price, yes maybe not hybrids but still
It is not 35k, they bought the most advanced model. The base model right now is 27k....
spidervenom44 I thought the base model was $22k
shaochia vang Base model *hybrid* Camry is ~27,000 with the destination fee.
JDM-House The new Hyundais aren't bad at all, really, I mean yea, Hyundai and Kia has made shitty plastic crappy cars back throughout the past, but they improved the brands' automobiles in 2010 or later and now they don't look like shitty plastic crappy cars they used to make back in the day, now they are looking much better and nicer looking cars. I still prefer Accord Hybrid, but I prefer the Sonata Hybrid over the dull-looking Camry Hybrid anyday, the Sonata is better gas mileage than Camry and a better luxurious interior.

Both cars are excellent at what they do. Toyota has already promised a slight model refresh for 2015.
AMEN AMEN AMEN 💯💯💯💯
somethings sketchy about the mpg... I think they are reversed.. The Honda is the one that gets 50 mpg city, not the camry
well charlie once you study the powertrain design you'll understand peace :)
There is a mistake in the video. At 5:00 it says 40 city & 38 highway mpg for the accord. And at 4:36 it says the camry gets 50 city & 45 highway mpg. They should be switched.
that makes sense, i was confused the whole time, they kept saying accord 50mpg which contradicted to info provided earlier
Anyone else notice how Roman always has his seat belt twisted?
254,261 subscribers and is increasing :) good job guys you are awesome :)
I have both these vehicles in my family, the accord is better on fuel and fresher looking on, but the Camry feels like a more quality car to me
I'd like the way they test drive the car because actual 0-60 sec always told !
Camry is the Best
If you shut the ECO button off the Honda Accord Hybrid it will go even faster. I got into the 7's with mine.
Also make sure the heater and AC are off. Enjoy
I was in the market for a new Camry, yes, I have a 2002 with over 219,000 miles and it is still runs very well. However, this new design really sucks and I am holding out to see what happens next year. Honda is ok but I had a really bad experience with one so not very interested in Honda anymore.
Just saw the 2015 and I really like that car.
Colin Yapp Me too.
Colin Yapp what was your bad experience?
dvdrummer vann Constant transmission problems with my Accord. It was a used car so it might have just been a lemon but it was the worst used car that I ever had. Hate judging all Hondas based on my experience but I have had multiple used Toyotas and my experience has never been that bad.
Colin Yapp ohh ok, thanx
I agree with Nathan the accord looks newer than the cars today
Can we get a new 2018 Camry Vs. Accord Hybrid Test?
East or West Camry is the best...!😍💚💖
What is the cost of each component of the hybrid system? How much does the 2.0 Atkinson cycle DOHC i-VTECH engine, two hybrid motors system, Lithium Ion Battery, and PCU cost? How long do these parts last? This needs to be addressed before buying the Hybrid Accord. Please help. Thank you.
Based on safety/crash rating alone, Accord already wins. My families got both manufactures over 30 yrs. Still got both cars in our lots. I've checked out both cars in car shows for the 2014 model. Based on this video, I got a better understanding of road drive. I would pick the Accord. Now my dilemma is which to buy, between Accord vs Ford Fusion hybrid.
I know you guys are experts. I have a 2014 Hybrid Camry G Package. My car does 0- 60 in 7.5 secs and less times. I have also out ran 2014 Hybrid Accords. Hey I guess it's the driver of the car that makes the difference lol.
The posted mileage is reversed. The Accord is rated 50/45, not the Camry.
Honda Accord Hybrid, Engine Kick In Yo!
THE EPIC SHOWDOWN BETWEEN GOLDEN VANILLA & VANILLA BEAN!!!
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Great Job Honda again!
Honda! Of course its going to be better.
Honda has come back, which I'm glad.
I've owned several, currently a fit owner .
I'd say the most unappealing car in there line up is the civic.
I have the 2014 Accord LX CVT and this is the m.p.g that I have been able to get on the expressway...42.0. Will send you a picture as soon as I can figure out on my phone how...
I am 6 ft 4 inch 255 pounds and I sit just fine and perfectly comfortable in my 2014 camry and I'll take it any day over a Honda but my only complaint is the plastic peice on the side of the seat broke that has the seat controls but this 2014 Camry is a very nice car!
No surprise here.. Honda Accord is the king of winning comparison tests. And the Camry is the king of lost comparisons..
Great video guys! Really like your style and presentation.
Only thing I don't like about the new Accord Hybrid - I can't frickin' get one! Honda has only made about 1,500 of these so far. The color and trim I want is almost nowhere to be found. Finally broke down last week and placed a factory order. May have to wait 3 months or so.
But I do love the electric drive modes. I really wanted to buy a Tesla Model S. But I don't have $80,000 to spend on a car. The Accord Hybrid is a good compromise :D
you didn't take the camry out of eco mode. economy mode limits the accelerator so that wasn't an accurate 0-60 time
there's no sport mode
Correct, but I drive the 2013 Camry Hybrid (basically same as this model) and if the car is in the Eco Mode vs not the car actually uses far less power and you must take it out of that mode, by pushing the button in front of the gear shift.
Love the Honda ..... thank you guys for this awesome video and pleaaaaase keepup the great work :)
Thanks for the nice comment and thanks for watching!
Pledged! Hope your Kickstarter gets funded.
In consumer reports the Camry was marginally quicker and quite a bit better at passing than the Accord hybrid. The Camry was also rated higher. The Accord had a stiff ride.
yesroh Consumer Reports likes it when a car drives like a sofa.
150,000+ subscribers, i'm sure you have plenty of money
according to just looks so much better too, like i would assume that’s like 2016 and the camry looks like it’s from 2004
Honda accord is good. i like it. if only they could do something about the styling it would be perfect.
What are the seats like? I had a 2010 and loved it except for the front seats.
You mixed up the EPA ratings between the 2 cars on the screen
@Johnny Draken, then tell us why the Prius Hybrid has been the best hybrid for more than 10 years now. This is current.
Camry is number 1 car
Very comfortable car
Toyota have good offers
I go with camry
If you want to be a professional, look professional. Shave, and ditch the sunglasses when on camera.
What mpg did you guys get? Surprised it wasn't mentioned in this matchup
Honda Accord on screen info is 40/38 MPG and you said combine is 47MPG? I was confused. Turns out you guys had your on screen information mixed up between the two. Honda Accord is 50/45 and Toyota Camry is the 40/38 MPG.
Off topic a little but my new accord coupe with the v6, my fourth Honda car, really should be called a Prelude. The coup with the v6 feels like a completely different car from my neighbors four cylinder sedan. All of my Honda cars, motorcycles, lawnmowers and generators. have been rock solid reliable. The three Toyotas I've owned have been just as reliable. Honda seems to be getting the mojo back.
2 years later... Toyota Camry Hybrid SE model really stepped it up and it's cheaper.
FINALLY a honda nathan doesnt despise. in terms of midsizes, i would take an accord first, then probably a passat even though the passat is pretty dated to look at inside and out. they just ride so nice though. the honda is just fresh all around.
The new Mazda 6 is Bad ass.
Yeah but in terms of long term investment return the accord's got it down. i also like the fact its one of the last midsizes offering a stick on multiple trims, a coupe EXL v6 with a 6 speed manual, and a naturally aspirated 278 horse V6.
No doubt. The Accord is the benchmark in its class as always. And in terms of resale value, the Accord is top shelf.. But for just a sweet riding fun mid sizer with a nice exterior/ interior the 6 is pretty sweet.
Here in 2022, cause I have this car!
For someone who likes to work on their own vehicles, popping the hood and showing me all the witchcraft under there makes me shudder.
who said the accord has 140 hp? might need to recheck that one
2 things. What trim is the Accord? The Accord fights the Avalon as well and the Camry. Of course the Accord is going to offer more than the Camry.
Also, the Accord looks VERY similar to a ES350. From 2007. How is THAT one the more modern looking? I agree that the Accord looks better, but that is because the Camry's looks have deteriorated since 3rd/4th gen.
Of course you would do well to get either one. I would go with the Camry since Toyota has more experience with the hybrids and if you plan on keeping the car until it dies, there will be more of the Camrys on the road.
You can get Camry hybrid for 23k$ and accord hybrid is 29k$.......so here you go
no, base camry hybrid is MSRP just short of 27,000
Who cares about msrp. Go to cars.com and do a research
You guys should compare it to the 2015 camry hybrid
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Nope
I saw a toyota camry 2014 with racing stripes and hood spoiler with ANOTHER spoiler on the back. I was disappointed.
Both are great cars, but I went with the Camry because they are listed as the #1 car to reach over 200k miles on every report with the majority to easily pass >300k miles. Honda makes it from time to time, but not every report.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Ok. So I should buy one and lease the other but I have no idea cost of ownership let's say 5 years on either of these vehicles?
Love my Honda Accord!
Can you do the same video for 2015 models?
too late now. switched to German cars
Ninos Koussa did it break down yet
Nope .. Runs like a monster
Great review, but I'm confused how the Avalon with the same engine is faster? I really like the Honda but for midsize hybrid sedan the Camry is still the proven winner in my opinion.
There is no such thing as a definitive 0-60 MPH. It really depends on the driver, the car and the day.
I'd buy the Camry over the Accord for sure. The Camry beats the Accord in looks any day of the week.....
When the Accord hybrid is on the road you can tell its a hybrid by looking at the wheels its has a slight blue tint to the head lights and the Camry looks like a typical camry you would see everyday. On the camry you cant tell if its a hybrid or not UNLESS you come up close to listen to the sound even the 2015 Camry is the same story. Even the Camry does NOT have LED lights in which the Accord has
