When looking for a family vehicle, the choice often lies between an SUV and a sedan. But is one really better than the other? In many ways, yes. Thanks to their superior aerodynamics and lower profile, sedans are more fuel-efficient and offer superior handling. Further, despite safety innovations, high-profile SUVs remain far more prone to dangerous roll-over accidents. So, large sedans are still among the best options if you're looking for a family-friendly vehicle. Now the question lies in which large sedan you should choose. Today, we'll explore the 2021 Honda Accord vs 2021 Toyota Camry to help you answer that question.
The main specs you'll want to weigh when deciding between the Accord and the Camry are technology and safety. We'll also take a look at aesthetic appeal, detailing add-on options, color choices, and wheel options. You'll notice that the Honda Accord offers a lot more than the Toyota Camry despite its lower overall price. This is particularly true when it comes to technology, features, and aesthetics. We'll get into the details of how and why this is in our detailed comparison of these popular midsize sedans.
The Honda sedan offers several tech features. First, let's start with entertainment. It comes with a standard 160-watt AM/FM audio system, an 8-inch infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and Bluetooth HandsFree talking and audio streaming. It also includes wireless phone charging, along with USB charging ports. In addition to the Bluetooth calling and the wireless phone charging options, there are four USB ports spread across both rows of seats. This is one reason the Accord is a great family vehicle as it can help accommodate children and their wireless tablets and devices.
In terms of optional features, this model offers a Head-Up display, which helps keep drivers from being distracted - this technology projects important information directly onto the windshield. Drivers no longer need to talk their eyes off the road when receiving a phone call, using navigation, or checking their speed limit. This new technology is becoming more and more popular, and it doubles as both a convenience and a safety feature.
The 2021 Honda Accord also includes a Valet Function option. This technology allows drivers to keep their keys, allowing other drivers and valet parkers to use the car without triggering alarms. If something goes wrong, the driver still has access to their car's alarm and door-locking systems via their remote. Speaking of remotes, the 2021 Honda Accord includes remote keyless entry and remote cargo access. You'll also get heated front 12-way power seats, a locking glove box, and two 12V DC power outlets. Overall, the 2021 Honda Accord is heavily tech-packed for its low price.
Regarding entertainment, the 2021 Toyota Camry comes with many of the same features that the 2021 Honda Accord does: Bluetooth compatibility, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and USB media and charging ports. However, its standard infotainment setup comes with a smaller 7-inch screen. Keeping everyone's smart devices charged is also far more difficult as the Camry only includes two USB ports and one 12V outlet, all of which are located in the front row. This simply falls short of what modern families require.
Honda is known for its safety innovation, and the 2021 Honda Accord is no exception here. Let's start off by looking at its many standard driver-assist features. First, we've got Lane Departure Warning. This technology uses sensors to keep drivers from unwillingly drifting into another lane, whether it be due to lack of sleep or a momentary distraction. Next up, we've got a Lane Keeping Assist System, which goes even further by preventing the Accord from lane drifting. It can do this by using cameras to detect road lines, automatically steering the car to prevent drifting.
Now let's look at Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow. This tech is an advanced cruise control system that monitors traffic flow and adjusts the Accord's speed based on surrounding vehicle activity. It keeps drivers from needing to stop, start, and reset their cruise control constantly.
The 2021 Honda Accord also includes an available Blind Spot Information System, which uses radars to monitor vehicles appearing in your blind zone. It alerts you through lights and alert noises. These blinking lights appear on the Accord's side mirrors. If the light appears on the left, then the vehicle is on the left, too, and the same goes for the right. The Accord also includes a Collision Mitigation Braking System, which can detect frontal collisions and apply emergency braking.
Like most vehicles, it also offers airbags, rear child safety locks, an airbag occupancy sensor, and tire pressure monitoring. It includes a backup camera as well. As you can see, the 2021 Honda Accord is ideal in the safety department.
The Camry comes with several driver-assist features that are similar to those of the Accord. These include Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Tracing Assist, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Pre-collision control can detect pedestrians and potential collisions, braking automatically. Lane Tracing Assist mimics Honda's Lane Keeping Assist, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control works like the Honda's Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow. The Camry also includes airbags, rear child safety locks, tire pressure monitoring, and a backup camera.
Aesthetic appeal isn't the most important aspect when buying a car, but it's definitely on the list of deal breakers. The good news is that, like all new Honda vehicles, the Accord does well in the appearance department. It comes in 8 different colors, including Modern Steel, Radiant Red, San Marino Red, Sonic Gray, Still Night (Blue), Lunar Silver, Crystal Black, and Platinum White. It comes with several wheel options, including a variety of 19-inch alloy wheels that improve both looks and handling.
There are several available package options for the 2021 Accord, depending on which trim you choose. Some of these packages include the Black Accent Package, which includes a black chrome grille and black rear trim; the Bronze Accent Package, which includes the same options but in Bronze; and the Underbody Spoiler Package, which includes underbody spoilers for the rear, side, and front. You can also add on body side molding, door edge guards and film, door handle film, fender emblems, door visors, grille accents, additional emblems, splash guards, and much more. Like always, Honda provides several customization options, adding to their street-ready appeal.
The 2021 Toyota Camry comes in a variety of colors and even some different two-tone paint options on select trims. However, the Camry doesn't offer nearly as many add-on options to customize the look of your ride. In fact, it only includes exterior protection options rather than aesthetic upgrades. As standard features, it comes with a black grille, along with a lip spoiler, light tinted glass, and galvanized steel and aluminum panels. It also offers black side mirrors on the sporty trims. And while the Camry can be outfitted with 19-inch alloy wheels, the base trim rides on cheap 16-inch steel wheels. Overall, its customization options pale in comparison to those of the 2021 Honda Accord.
