Honda Accord versus Toyota Camry

When shopping for a new car, one of the first things a buyer does is compare the vehicle they are considering to other vehicles of the same style and class. For the Accord, one of the biggest competitors is the Toyota Camry. The Camry may offer enough features to keep you content while you drive, but the Accord goes above and beyond to ensure you have a comfortable and safe commute.

The Accord offers an impressive number of features from safety to performance. All Accords now come standard with the Honda Sensing Suite – your extra eyes and ears for the road. A new suspension setup and improved body structure are to thank for impressive performance, giving drivers of Erie, PA, a solid feel at the wheel for smooth drive. And that’s only the beginning.

FEATURES TO CONSIDER

3 Transmission Options
Honda knows that one size does not fit all when it comes to transmission options. Take your pick from a 6-Speed Manual, CVT, or a 10-Speed Automatic and enjoy the ride.

The only option Toyota Camry provides is an 8-Speed Automatic. Where’s the fun in that?
Traffic Sign Recognition
Not only is every Honda Accord equipped with Honda Sensing standard, the Accord Touring adds Traffic Sign Recogntion to the suite.

Toyota does not offer Traffic Sign Recognition on any of its models.
Remote Engine Start
Remote Engine Start comes standard on almost every Accord trim, and it’s built right into your key fob

The only way to remote start the Camry is by paying $80/year for a subscription to access this feature.
Heated Seats
Experience the luxury of Heated Front and Rear Outboard Seats in the Accord Touring. (Heated front seats available on Sport 2.0L, EX and above trims.)

The Camry only offers Heated Front Seats on the XLE and XSE trims. Sorry, backseat passengers.
Ventilated Seats
For days when it’s so hot you need some extra cooling, Ventilated Front Seats circulate cool air through the perforated leather-trimmed seats. They’re one more way the all-new Accord Touring is designed to help the driver and passenger reach their optimum comfort levels.

Don’t expect Ventilated Seats in the Camry- it’s not even an option.
Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control
Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control is standard on every single Accord trim to help you keep the temperature ideal for both you and your passenger.

This luxury is only standard on the Camry SE, XLE, or XSE.
Android Auto/Apple Carplay
Accord Sport and above trims have Android Auto/Apple Carplay available on the 8-inch Display Audio Touch-Screen. Seamlessly access everything on your Android/Apple phone, including directions, text messages and your music library.

Camry does not offer Android Auto/Apple Carplay on any of its trims.
Large Trunk Capacity
The 2018 Accord’s generous, class-leading trunk space gives you plenty of room for gear, groceries, or whatever you need to fill your life for the road ahead.

Cargo capicity on the Camry L? 14.1 cu. ft.
12-Way Power Driver Seat and Two Position Memory
With available 12-way power-adjustability and two savable positions, no other car in its class* offers for ways to adjust your seat with ease and find that sweet spot, every time*.

The Camry only offers an 8-way power driver’s seat and does not offer any Driver Seat Memory.
