2020 Honda Accord Vs. 2020 Toyota Camry

Mid-size sedans are mostly good vehicles, but the consumer looking for excellence must aim higher; Japanese manufacturers Honda and Toyota are fighting for the top spot on the podium when it comes to their Accord or Camry.

Longueuil Honda on the South Shore, near Brossard, Boucherville and just minutes from Montreal, presents a comparison between the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord, taking care to highlight the main features of its much-cherished mid-size sedan.

Accord Or Camry?

For starters, both models offer hybrid and more conventional versions. While the Honda Accord LX, Sport, EX-L and Touring are equipped with a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, the Sport 2.0 and Touring 2.0 versions can count on a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that spits out 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the hybrid version offers a combined power output (gasoline and electric motor) of 212 horsepower. In all versions of the 2020 Toyota Camry, performance is inferior: for the LE, SE and XLE versions, we're talking about 184 lb-ft of torque versus 192 lb-ft for the Accord. For the XSE V6 and XLE V6 models, torque is 267 lb-ft of torque compared to the Honda Accord's 273 lb-ft of torque. Finally, the hybrid version of the Toyota Camry is also less powerful than its rival; it has a combined output of 208 horsepower versus 212 for the 2020 Honda Accord. In short, Honda surpasses Toyota's performance, and the proof is in the pudding.

The Honda Accord also boasts comfort and spaciousness that outperforms the 2020 Camry. The Accord is roomy and quiet, with a refined interior that's far superior to its rival in terms of fit and finish. Both sedans offer good legroom, but the Accord's rear seat is better with more daylight and better rear door opening. The Accord also offers a larger trunk: 16.7 cubic feet compared to 15.1 cubic feet in the Camry.

Both sedans offer near-perfect safety dashboards and all are equipped with automatic emergency braking, active lane control and adaptive cruise control ‒ few crossovers offer the same and almost none at the same price as the Camry and the Honda Accord.

Going one step further, the infotainment system is significantly better in the 2020 Honda Accord than in the Camry of the same year. With its 7-inch touch screen, USB ports, Bluetooth and hands-free connectivity, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless Wi-Fi access zone, Siri compatibility, text messaging and more, the Honda Accord is one step ahead of the Camry. What's more, all the technological features make the 2020 Accord the ultimate car on the road.

All in all, the 2020 Honda Accord is a great mid-size vehicle that is comfortable, stylish and capable. It offers you all the innovative technological features, such as Honda Sensing and the most advanced passive and active safety systems on the market. The Honda Accord is also available in a hybrid version. The Accord Hybrid is becoming more and more popular due to environmental requirements and Honda's commitment to make a clear difference in terms of improving air quality.
