Visit the Phil Hughes Honda showroom to get your personalized tour.
For 2024, the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry bring excellent, well-equipped trim levels to the arena, but which is the stronger competitor? We've found a winner with the Honda Accord. Although the Honda Accord has six trim levels for the new model year and the Toyota Camry has eight, the Honda Accord is more feature-packed.
This year's Honda Accord offers:
Meanwhile, the Toyota Camry has these eight gas-only options:
Each trim level comes with unique standard features with some variations between trims. If you want to add even more perks to either model, you're in luck. The Toyota Camry tries to make up for its lack of features by allowing you to add more, like a heated steering wheel or wireless smartphone charging, to lower trims. Meanwhile, the Honda Accord improves upon its already well-equipped trims by offering packages designed to protect your vehicle's exterior and add more styling.
As we've seen thus far in our Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry match-up, these two sedans put comfort and convenience back into every commute. But how do they perform? The Honda Accord is outfitted with a standard turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. On the hybrid trims, you'll get a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 204 horsepower with the help of its battery-and-motor setup.
The Toyota Camry, on the other hand, is operated by a standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 202 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque. Another engine of a similar caliber is available, bumping horsepower to 206 and making 186 pound-feet of torque. When you choose the XLE V6 or XSE V6 trims, you'll be met with a boost in power from a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that makes 301 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque.
Overall, the Toyota Camry produces more power with its standard and available engine options. However, it misses out on the fuel-sipping savings that the Honda Accord offers.

Part of picking out the perfect sedan is considering what your commute or adventures will feel like when seated inside. Here at Phil Hughes Honda, we know you want a comfortable do-it-all sedan that delivers an experience that meets at the apex of form and function. That's why we think the 2024 Honda Accord wins this part of our toss-up.
Standard features for the Honda Accord include cloth upholstery, a 7-inch color touch-screen display, and a Push Button Start. Choose a higher-tier trim, and more doors are open to you. Available features include sport pedals, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and heated front seats.
Comparatively, the Toyota Camry has fewer standard features. For example, the Honda Accord has a standard Push Button Start, but the Camry doesn't. Additionally, both models have an information display interface, but the Accord offers a standard 10.2-inch, while the standard option for the Camry measures only 4.2 inches.
The rivalry between the Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry is heating up. So far, they are fairly evenly matched. However, we see the Honda Accord taking the lead regarding dimensions and cargo. The Honda Accord exterior measurements are:
Meanwhile, the standard Toyota Camry measures:
The dimensions for the Honda Accord are consistent across every trim, but the Toyota Camry length bumps up to 192.7 inches on the SE, SE Nightshade, XSE, and XSE V6 trims. The TRD model has different values in each category:
Regardless of which model you choose for the Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord still wins. It's simply longer, wider, and taller, offering a more robust riding experience for every passenger. It also translates to more cargo space, with 16.7 cubic feet available for the Accord, while the Camry only has 15.1 cubic feet of cargo space.
If you're looking for a safe and reliable vehicle, the two models in our Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry toss-up are perfect options. But which is better? Both sedans will typically last 200,000 miles when given proper care and maintenance at the right intervals, making them reliable cars.
Additionally, both the 2024 Honda Accord and 2024 Toyota Camry received a five-star rating3 from the NHTSA. The only difference between the two models is that the IIHS awarded the Toyota Camry with a Top Safety Pick4 badge of honor, while the 2024 Honda Accord received the Top Safety Pick+4 award. This added "+" means the Honda Accord performs better at night or in challenging weather conditions.
The Honda Accord and Toyota Camry have a similar starting MSRP, with the Honda Accord costing just a pinch more. The reason for a slightly bigger price tag is because you'll simply get more with the Honda Accord.
Greater pound-feet of torque, a lighter curb weight, and more cargo space are just a few of the structural perks. Inside, you're getting more standard convenience with features like Remote Engine Start and a self-opening trunk. On top of that, the Honda Accord also won the IIHS Top Safety Pick+4 badge for 2024, making it a better vehicle to traverse nighttime driving and difficult weather conditions.
The Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry go toe-to-toe in terms of warranty coverage, as well. Both the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are backed by a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty5 and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty5 that will help in the case of a defective part or faulty build.
The Toyota Camry delivers an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty5 for the hybrid system and a 10-year/150,000-mile warranty5 for the hybrid battery. Meanwhile, the Honda Accord enjoys coverage for eight years or 100,000 miles5 for the hybrid battery. What's more, if you're looking to save on routine care, both the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are eligible for complimentary service plans6 that allow you to save on the consumables your vehicle needs, like oil, filters, tires, and more.
Although the two models differ, they are similarly priced and have similar coverage.
If you're an eco-conscious driver who is interested in saving money and the planet, you're in luck. Both models offer a hybrid variant that delivers excellent fuel economy. The models from our new Honda Accord hybrid inventory are trims for the 2024 Honda Accord. The only two gas-only options from the Honda Accord trim lineup are the LX and EX, while the Sport Hybrid, EX-L Hybrid, Sport L-Hybrid, and Touring Hybrid are – as their names suggest – hybrid models.
These trims offer greater interior sophistication with available features like leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, heated rear seats, and ventilated front seats. However, the real perk lies in fuel economy.
The Sport Hybrid, Sport L-Hybrid, and Touring Hybrid will net you an EPA-estimated 46/41/44 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)1 and the EX-L Hybrid delivers even more with an EPA-estimated 51/44/48 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).1
The Toyota Camry Hybrid is an entirely different vehicle than the Toyota Camry. That means you'll get features similar to those of the Toyota Camry, but not exactly the same. There are only five trims for the model, as opposed to the eight offered by the gas-only model.
This model has similar MPG values to the Honda Accord hybrid trims. For instance, the LE Hybrid base-entry model offers an EPA-estimated 51/53/52 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),2 while the rest of the lineup enjoys an EPA-estimated 44/47/46 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).2
The rivalry between the Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry has been intense, but we have spotted a clear winner: the new Honda Accord for sale. With a better IIHS safety rating, more robust interior features, and available hybrid power in the lineup, the Accord simply better pairs with drivers who want a sedan that can do it all.

The Honda Accord has better standard features than the Toyota Camry. For instance, within the Honda Accord lineup, you'll find heated and ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Meanwhile, the Toyota Camry only offers these features as an optional upgrade that costs more money to have. Plus, the Honda Accord offers heated rear seats – a feature the Toyota Camry does not offer.
Of the entry-level trims, the two remain nearly comparable, with the Honda Accord having a higher city figure and the Camry having a higher highway figure. The Toyota Camry XSE, XLE, and their V-6 options are less fuel-efficient, however, letting the Honda Accord take the crown. Regarding the hybrid selection, the Toyota Camry is a touch more fuel-efficient than the Honda Accord.
Since these two models operate on a similar frame, they don't make much noise. Both models are quiet, delivering a calm and relaxing driving experience. However, if you want more possible comfort and convenience, the Honda Accord is a better choice. The Toyota Camry has plenty of comfortable features available, but many require an additional purchase. Test-drive the Accord with us to experience its quiet cabin today.
