Comparing the 2022 Honda Accord vs. 2022 Toyota Camry
The Honda Accord and Toyota Camry have been fighting for the top spot in the midsize sedan category for years. Each company has released new models to edge out the other, but the competition remains tight. The Accord has traditionally been the more upscale option, with leather seats and a more powerful engine. The Camry positions itself as the more affordable option. Still, it lacks some of the bells and whistles of its competitor.
Recently, Honda has made some breakthroughs to the 2022 Accord, giving it an edge over the 2022 Toyota Camry. Bob Lindsay Honda looks at these changes.
Interior Comparison
The trunk space in the 2022 Accord is 16.7 cubic feet, while the 2022 Camry only has 15.2 cubic feet. The Accord's trunk is about 1.5 feet longer than the Camry's, which is a big plus when packing for a long trip or bringing the kids' soccer gear home. You can fold the back seats with any of these options, providing more cargo space.
Both have enough space so that nobody feels cramped, even at total capacity. In the Accord, however, there is room for 105.6 cubic feet, while the Camry only has room 100.4 cubic feet. The Honda has more passenger space by more than 5 cubic feet. People in the second row also have a little more room to move around. These little things matter when you're in a crowded car for a long trip. In general, the 2022 Honda Accord is a more relaxing car to ride in than the 2022 Toyota Camry.
Performance Comparison
The 2022 Accord and 2022 Camry are both strong sedans that provide thrilling acceleration and nimble handling for their drivers. The two sedans have hybrid powertrains and turbocharged engine options. Hybrid powertrains enable the battery to self-charge in cases where a plug-in power source is unavailable. These self-charging batteries are proving to be popular. Finding a car charger can be a hassle in some areas, and waiting for a car to charge can be time-consuming.
The Camry only offers an eight-speed automatic, while the Accord can go up to 10. More gears mean easier, quicker shifting. Although there are always outliers, this is typically the case in the automotive sector. Because of this, the 2022 Toyota Camry's shift time may be slightly longer than the Honda's.
Safety Features Comparison
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the 2022 Camry and 2022 Accord five stars in terms of overall safety. The two midsize sedans scored perfect on crash tests for frontal, rollover, and side.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also awarded the two cars Top Safety Pick+, its highest commendation.
However, one key difference between the two is the airbags. The Accord has smart airbag technology that adjusts its deployment based on seat and speed sensors. The Camry lacks this innovative technology.
