The Toyota Camry Vs the Honda Accord

For years, the Toyota Camry has been rated one of the best sedans Bowie and Lusby, MD drivers could purchase. That's in part thanks to the model's robust list of safety features. With forward collision mitigation, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and road sign recognition all as standard features, you're well protected when behind the wheel of a Camry. As for the Honda Accord, this model only offers frontal collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist in its base model. For additional safety features, you may need to spend extra on optional packages or higher trim levels.

Safety is only one aspect of what makes this model such an appealing pick. There are also plenty of interior features that will appeal to many drivers. The base model features an eight-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a wireless charging pad. In the Accord, drivers will receive a standard seven-inch touchscreen, along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

Under the hood, the new Toyota Camry came to play. The base engine is a 203-horsepower four-cylinder, and the other is a 301-horsepower V6 engine. As for the Accord, this model's standard powertrain is a 192-horsepower engine, and an upgraded engine that produces 252 horsepower is also available.

Toyota Camry Vs. Nissan Altima

Another sedan you may be considering is the Nissan Altima. While the Altima is a fine car, it doesn't quite have the same reliability, performance, or tech that you'll find in the Toyota Camry.

Powering the new Nissan Altima are two engine options for Dunkirk, MD drivers to consider. The base model features a 2.5-liter, 188-horsepower four-cylinder engine, while higher trims utilize a turbocharged 2.0-liter, 236-horsepower four-cylinder engine. When compared to the Camry, the Altima doesn't quite match up as it features a 203-horsepower four-cylinder in its base model and a more powerful 301-horsepower V6 engine in higher trim levels.</>

Not only does the Camry offer better performance, but it also has superior fuel economy. According to the EPA, the gas-powered Camry offers 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. The Nissan Altima, on the other hand, only manages an estimated gas mileage of around 25 mpg city and 34 mpg on the highway.

Make your way into the cabin of these cars, and you'll discover that once again, the Camry offers far more than what the Altima can provide. In the cabin on the Camry, you'll find an eight-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a wireless charging pad. Higher trims offer noise-reducing front side windows, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, along with Heated front seats and a steering wheel. Meanwhile, in the Altima, you'll find an eight-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, with more advanced features available in higher trims.

Toyota Camry Vs. Hyundai Elantra

This year, the new Toyota Camry received several additions to its already impressive list of features, like new trims, new suspension, and exterior color. However, the Elantra received no such changes and is the same model it was last year. Thus, the Camry has a clear edge in this comparison from the start.

As we look at other features, the new Elantra falls short compared to the Camry. As mentioned, the Camry has two options: a standard 203-horsepower four-cylinder and a more powerful 301-horsepower V6. In comparison, the Elantra is quite underwhelming as it only has one engine, a 2.0-liter 147 hp four-cylinder.

Again, California, MD, Waldorf, MD drivers will find the Toyota Camry is quite fuel efficient as it offers an estimated 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. As for the Elantra, this model is the one aspect that shines as it offers an estimated 31 mpg city and 40 mpg highway.

But even with a better fuel economy, the Elantra doesn't quite meet the needs of most drivers, especially when it comes to its size. Inside the new Camry, you'll find plenty of legroom with 42.1 inches of space. Inside the Elantra, there is only 34.8 inches of legroom.
