Well I’m on my third Honda Accord and loving it, glad I could call or text Cathy with what I’m looking for, she’s very knowledgeable and is always able to give an honest opinion. Thanks Cathy & Mike.
The two premier midsize sedans go head-to-head as we compare the Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry – a worthy battle, but as it goes on, the Accord pulls ahead. It has more torque to get you up to speed, a larger trunk for your gear, more passenger room with space to stretch out, plenty of awesome features to enjoy, great safety assists as standard, and so many more benefits to discover.
See how the Accord stands out in our Camry vs. Accord comparison below, and visit Muller Honda of Highland Park to see all the other Accord advantages with a test drive.
The Honda Accord has a standard 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 192 horsepower plus 192 pound-feet of torque. The Toyota Camry has a standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 225 horsepower with FWD and 232 with AWD. However, torque gets a car moving, and this standard Camry engine has 163 pound-feet of torque.
Honda Accord versus Toyota Camry power-to-weight ratios see the Toyota Camry LE burden its horsepower with a curb weight of 3,450 pounds while the Honda Accord LX has a curb weight of 3,239 pounds – that tells you the Honda Accord can be a faster sedan.
The standard-engine Accord delivers up to an EPA-estimated 29/37/32 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)1 while the hybrid-only Camry delivers up to a standard EPA-estimated 53/50/51 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)2 with its entry-level model.
The standard Honda Accord may not be as fuel-efficient as the standard Toyota Camry due to the Camry redesign that makes hybrid power the only option across every trim. However, the Honda Accord has its own available hybrid models. These achieve up to an EPA-estimated 51/44/48 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),1, hitting similar money-saving highs.

| Horsepower | 192 | 225 |
| Torque | 192 lb-ft | 163 lb-ft |
| EPA-Est. MPG (Cty/Hwy/Comb) | 29 / 37 / 321 | 53 / 50 / 512 |

We've seen that the Accord is zippier and lighter than a Camry. Comparing the Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry dimensions reveals that even with its lower weight, the Accord can also offer much more room for your passengers and cargo.
On the outside, the Honda Accord measures 195.7 inches long, 73.3 inches wide, and 57.1 inches tall. The Camry is 193.5 inches long, 72.4 inches wide, and 56.9 inches tall.
As the exterior sizes make evident, the new Accord offers more room. Specifically, the Honda Accord has up to 105.7 cubic feet of passenger room on the standard LX model and 102.8 cubic feet available on every trim above that point. All trims offer 16.7 cubic feet in the roomy trunk. The Toyota Camry, meanwhile, has only 99.8 cubic feet of passenger room on models without a moonroof and 15.1 cubic feet of trunk space on every trim.
For Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry legroom, the Accord offers 42.3 inches in the front seats and 40.8 inches in the rear seats; the Camry is more cramped with 42.1 inches in the front seats and 38.0 inches in the rear.
The Accord also has 39.5 inches of front headroom and 56.5 inches of rear shoulder room against the Camry sedan's 38.3 inches of front headroom without the moonroof and 55.7 inches of rear shoulder room.
Accord vs. Camry safety features ensure both sedans are safe choices. Their 2025 models have not been rated, but for 2024, the Accord received the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award.3 The 2024 Camry was awarded the Top Safety Pick,4 one level below the Honda sedan.
In addition, the Accord can offer more safety features. In the base-trim Honda Accord LX, you'll get the following Honda Sensing safety features as standard:
The new Honda Accord LX also complements the Honda Sensing package with standard Brake Assist, Auto High-Beam Headlights, and a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Dynamic Gridlines.
This part of our Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry comparison can be seen as a Honda Sensing vs. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 matchup. In the base-trim Toyota Camry LE, you get the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 package with:
The Camry also gives you a standard Brake Assist but no multi-angle rearview camera. Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry standard safety is certainly a close comparison, but with extra advancements like Low-Speed Follow and the higher IIHS safety rating, the Accord provides more peace of mind.
Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry interior features are another close race where the Accord can pull ahead.
To demonstrate its base-trim value, the Honda Accord LX adds these features on top of its powerful list of safety features:
In contrast, the equivalent base-trim Toyota Camry LE offers the following standard features:
To equal HondaLink connectivity, you may need to upgrade a Camry with available Toyota App Remote Connect services. When we compare Honda Accord and Toyota Camry tech and interior perks, we find the Honda Accord to be the more appealing, feature-rich option.
From torque to standard technology, the Accord is a winning midsize sedan. There's a lot more that it has to offer, and if you're ready to experience a Honda Accord or discover Honda vehicles like the even more agile Civic, visit us at Muller Honda of Highland Park today to test-drive the lineup.
