Which Is Better: Honda Accord Or Toyota Camry?
If you're on the hunt for a reliable, well-equipped sedan, we highly recommend poring over this entire Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry comparison. While both of these popular, value-packed sedans have plenty to offer motorists, we think the 2025 Honda Accord brings more to the table in several key categories – and we're confident you'll agree. For instance, both models have the same impressive IIHS Top Safety Pick+1,2 badge of honor and a five-star Overall Safety Rating by the NHTSA,3 but the Accord sports additional passenger and cargo space, more premium available features within the lineup as opposed to optional add-ons, and extra warranty coverage. Join the Phil Hughes Honda team as we dive into the details.

Our Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry Summary
Who wins? The 2025 Honda Accord. With a larger trunk, a bigger frame that leads to more appealing interior passenger dimensions, additional torque, and more robust warranty coverage, the Honda Accord is a much more well-rounded vehicle. Plus, it offers premium comfort and convenience amenities in its trim lineup that can only be found via additional package purchases for the Camry, giving you more bang for your buck. Before we get into the nitty-gritty details, here's an overview of each category and its winner:
- Trims, Configurations & Packages: 2025 Honda Accord
- Specs & Performance: Tie
- Interior & Features: 2025 Honda Accord
- Dimensions & Cargo: 2025 Honda Accord
- Safety & Reliability: Tie
- Price & Warranty: 2025 Honda Accord
Trims, Configurations & Packages
With six Honda Accord trim levels and two powertrains, compared to four trims and one powertrain for the Toyota Camry, the feature-packed Honda sedan lineup gives you more choice.
For 2025, 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. For starters, see their trims below.
This year's Honda Accord trims are as follows:
- 2025 Honda Accord LX
- 2025 Honda Accord SE
- 2025 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid
- 2025 Honda Accord EX-L Hybrid
- 2025 Honda Accord Sport-L Hybrid
- 2025 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid
Meanwhile, the 2025 Toyota Camry now has a smaller four-trim selection:
- 2025 Toyota LE
- 2025 Toyota SE
- 2025 Toyota XLE
- 2025 Toyota XSE
Each trim comes with unique standard features, adding more appointments as you climb the ladder. However, when it comes to upscale amenities, such as heated and ventilated front seats, a Head-Up Display, rain-sensing wipers, and a premium audio system, you'll have to shell out more on top of purchasing a higher Toyota trim to get them via additional packages. Meanwhile, all of the previously mentioned features are available within the Accord lineup without the need to purchase add-ons, demonstrating just one of the ways that the Honda sedan is the more cost-effective, favorable option when it comes to configuring your vehicle.
Specs & Performance
The Camry generates slightly more horsepower and better EPA-estimated MPG, while the Accord produces more torque for get-up-and-go potential and the option of a traditional gas-only powertrain, resulting in a tie for performance.
Performance is one of the two categories in our Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry showdown where we're willing to call it a tie – you'll see why as we go through each model's specs.
The Honda Accord comes outfitted with one of two powertrains: gas-only or hybrid. The standard turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine produces 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. The available setup is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder hybrid powertrain that puts out 204 horsepower and 247 pound-feet of torque with the assistance of its battery-and-motor architecture.
This year, the Toyota Camry goes full mild hybrid, with all four trims operating with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid powertrain. It makes up to 232 horsepower, but we don't have a precise combined torque figure. The OEM only publishes the engine's torque value without accounting for its hybrid assistance. What we do know is that the 163 pound-feet produced by the Camry engine is less than that of the gas-only Accord. This is the only powertrain available for the 2025 Camry.
You'll notice that the Camry gets slightly better fuel efficiency, thanks to its standard mild-hybrid configuration. For an apples-to-apples comparison, we'll look at how maximum MPG for the Camry compares to that of the Accord Hybrid – the Honda model falls just a pinch short, but it's not a very noticeable real-world difference:
- Honda Accord Maximum EPA Estimation: 51/44/48 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)4
- Toyota Camry Maximum EPA Estimation: 53/50/51 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)5

Interior & Features
Thanks to its larger standard digital cluster, available 12-speaker Bose® audio system, and available Alexa® Built-In feature, among other premium offerings in the trim ladder, the 2025 Honda Accord gives you more value per dollar.
Part of picking out the perfect sedan is considering what your commute and 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 exceptional driving experience, meeting at the apex of form and function. Let's review in depth how the Accord gives you just that.
Standard features for the Honda Accord include cloth upholstery, a 7-inch color touchscreen display, a 10.2-inch digital cluster display, push-button start, and Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock. Comparatively, the Toyota Camry has similar standard features, including cloth seating, an 8-inch touchscreen, and push-button start. However, you'll have a much smaller 7-inch digital gauge cluster, and you'll have to upgrade to at least the third trim to get a similar Smart Key System as standard fare – you can add it to the second-tier model via a package.
Choose a higher-tier Accord trim, and the doors of opportunity burst open. Available amenities include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Sport pedals
- Leather-wrapped shift knob
- Head-Up Display
- Alexa® Built-In
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- 12-speaker Bose® premium sound system
- Rain-sensing wipers
- 12.3-inch touchscreen
We see a similar story unfold with available Camry features as we did with the standard options. You'll find some similar available appointments in the Camry lineup, such as an available 12.3-inch touchscreen, sport pedals, and a leather-wrapped shift knob. However, you'll have to add a package to get a Head-Up Display, rain-sensing wipers, heated and ventilated front seats, and a 9-speaker JBL® sound system – none of them come standard with any trim. Paying more out of your pocket to get an audio system with fewer speakers doesn't make much sense to us. Plus, you won't find Alexa® Built-In anywhere in the Camry trims or packages.
Dimensions & Cargo
As far as dimensions and cargo go, the 2025 Accord once again comes out the victor, with a bigger trunk and larger exterior measurements that translate to additional passenger comfort.
The Honda Accord is longer, wider, and taller than its Toyota competitor, which ultimately gives you and your passengers more comfortable interior dimensions, as well as extra trunk space for your gear. Don't just take our word for it, though – let's dive into the numbers so you can see what we're talking about. We'll start with the exterior measurements for each sedan.
The Accord's exterior dimensions are as follows:
- Length: 195.7 inches
- Body Width: 73.3 inches
- Height: 57.1 inches
On the other hand, here are the standard Toyota Camry measurements:
- Length: 193.5 inches
- Body Width: 72.4 inches
- Height: 56.9 inches
Since both models have the same dimensions for each of their trim levels, the Honda Accord is always the winner in size and dimensions. Its larger frame also translates to more trunk space, with 16.7 cubic feet available for the Accord, while the Camry only has 15.1 cubic feet of cargo volume.
The Honda Accord's larger exterior also lends itself to more advantageous interior dimensions. Here are the exact passenger values for the 2025 Honda Accord:
- Passenger Volume: 102.8-105.7 cubic feet
- Headroom Without Moonroof (Front/Rear): 39.5/37.3 inches
- Headroom With Moonroof (Front/Rear): 37.5/37.2 inches
- Legroom (Front/Rear): 42.3/40.8 inches
- Shoulder Room (Front/Rear): 57.9/56.5 inches
- Hip Room (Front/Rear): 55.4/55.4 inches
As you can see, there is some variation in passenger volume and headroom for the Honda Accord models – higher-tier trims with the available moonroof get slightly less. It's the same case for the Toyota Camry, as you'll see below.
The Toyota Camry rolls onto the scene with lower exterior measurements that result in less occupant comfort. Here are the values you can expect from the 2025 Toyota Camry:
- Passenger Volume: 98.8-99.9 cubic feet
- Headroom without Moonroof (Front/Rear): 38.3/37.6 inches
- Headroom with Moonroof (Front/Rear): 37.5/37.6 inches
- Legroom (Front/Rear): 42.1/38 inches
- Shoulder Room (Front/Rear): 57.7/55.7 inches
- Hip Room (Front/Rear): 55.4/54.6 inches
Allow Us to Review: These values tell a story. The Honda Accord uses its interior space efficiently, providing more front-row headroom than every Camry configuration. The same is true for legroom in both rows, shoulder room in both rows, and second-row hip room. Simply put: Skip the cramped commute by choosing the 2025 Honda Accord.
Safety & Reliability
If you're looking for a safe and reliable vehicle, the two models in our Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry clash are perfect options. Both sedans are award-winning models this year, with high marks in safety.
Here are the details: The two models in our Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry matchup have received the coveted IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award1,2 this year, and both take home a five-star NHTSA rating in Overall Safety.3
If that weren't appealing enough, the two are also Consumer Reports Recommended vehicles, earning an Overall Score of 80 or higher.8,9
The two will also typically last 200,000 miles when given proper care and maintenance, but only the Honda Accord gives you more extensive warranty coverage in categories completely missed by the Toyota Camry – more on this next.
For now, these two sedans keep up fiercely in safety and reliability. Rest assured that no matter the model you choose, you're getting a vehicle you can trust.
Price & Warranty
The Honda Accord has a more affordable cost of entry on the base model and comes with additional unique warranties that you won't find in the Toyota Camry coverage package, making the Honda sedan the winner for this category.
As we review pricing and warranty coverage for the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, we find that the two have a similar starting MSRP, with the Toyota Camry costing just a few hundred more when comparing base models. On the other side of the model spectrum, the sixth-tier Honda Accord Touring Hybrid model is slightly pricier than the fourth-tier range-topping Camry, but comes with much more upscale amenities.
The Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry go toe-to-toe in terms of basic warranty coverage. Both the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are backed by a three-year/36,000-mile Limited Vehicle warranty6 and a five-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Limited warranty6 that will help in the case of a defective part or faulty build.
The Toyota Camry delivers an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty6 for the hybrid system and a 10-year/150,000-mile warranty6 for the hybrid battery. Meanwhile, the Honda Accord enjoys coverage for eight years or 100,000 miles6 for the hybrid battery. What's more, if you're looking to lower costs on routine care, both the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are eligible for complimentary service plans10,11 that can help offset costs for consumables your vehicle needs for a predetermined time.
Although the two models are similar, only the Honda model comes with an Accessory Limited warranty and a Replacement Parts Limited warranty, giving you additional coverage for your beloved parts. It also has a much longer 15 years or 150,000 miles, compared to five years or 60,000 miles for the Camry.6 These extra coverage options make the Accord the more appealing sedan of the two in our matchup.
Honda Accord Hybrid vs. Toyota Camry Hybrid
For the Toyota Camry lineup, you'll be stuck with mild hybrid power as it's the only powertrain available. Meanwhile, the Honda Accord gives you greater fuel versatility with gas-only and mild hybrid options.
If you're an eco-conscious driver, you're in luck. Both models offer hybrid capabilities that deliver excellent fuel efficiency. Starting with the new Honda Accord Hybrid inventory, you'll find that four of the six 2025 Accord trims deliver electrified performance. The first two trims, the Accord LX and SE, are the gas-only models, while the Sport Hybrid, EX-L Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, and Touring Hybrid are – as their names suggest – mild hybrids.
These trims provide greater interior sophistication, offering available features like heated and ventilated leather-trimmed seats in the front row. Additionally, their enhanced fuel efficiency is a perk that your wallet can appreciate.
The Sport Hybrid, Sport L-Hybrid, and Touring Hybrid will net you an EPA-estimated 46/41/44 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),4 and the EX-L Hybrid delivers even more with an EPA-estimated 51/44/48 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).4
The Toyota Camry Hybrid and the Toyota Camry we've been discussing are one and the same, however. The result is excellent fuel efficiency, but you won't find the same level of comfort in the Toyota model without purchasing add-ons.
So, Who Wins the 2025 Toyota Camry vs. 2025 Honda Accord Comparison?
The Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry rivalry has been intense, but we have spotted a clear winner: the new Honda Accord for sale. With its greater cargo area, larger frame, and more robust interior features available, the Accord simply gives drivers more convenience and comfort for their hard-earned salaries.
