It’s easy to see how your research for a great midsize car has landed you in a choice between two of the biggest, most popular cars in the entire market. Both the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord have decades of awards and accolades behind them, and plenty of loyal fans to boot. But which of these two iconic sedans will grace your driveway? Let’s take a closer look at a few of the key aspects of the 2021 Toyota Camry and the 2021 Honda Accord to see which one zooms ahead.
If you’re looking for quick and steady acceleration, the 2021 Camry will serve you better than the 2021 Honda Accord. Its base engine is a 2.5-liter with 203 horsepower, and you can also equip the Camry with an available 3.5-liter V6 that makes a mighty 301 horsepower.
In comparison, the 2021 Accord falls short as its base engine is only a 1.5-liter with 192 horsepower. Even upgrading to the Accord’s available 2.0-liter 252-horsepower engine still can’t match the Camry’s incredible numbers.
And while both sedans have remarkable fuel efficiency ratings, the 2021 Toyota Camry manages a win over the 2021 Honda Accord for overall fuel efficiency.
As the flagship midsize sedans for their respective automakers, both the 2021 Toyota Camry and the 2021 Honda Accord offer high-quality materials and top-of-the-line technology features that you’ve come to expect from a car in this day and age. Although the Accord finally comes standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto, the Camry still has the Accord beat as it offers Amazon Alexa and a Wi-Fi hotspot as standard features, too. Upper trims of the Camry only get better as a premium sound system and additional technology are available.
Toyota and Honda have become known for the safety suites present in cars like the 2021 Camry and the 2021 Accord, but you’ll again see that the Camry has quite the edge over the Accord for safety features.
The 2021 Toyota Camry comes standard with a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beams, road sign assist, and full-speed adaptive cruise control.
The Accord puts up a good fight with collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, and adaptive cruise control, but it doesn’t offer the pedestrian detection or lane-tracing assist that the Camry offers.
The 2021 Toyota Camry is an incredibly well-rounded vehicle that gives every single one of its competitors quite the run for its money.
