There is no denying that there is a shortage of sedans on the market today. With the population of crossovers, SUVs, and pickups on the rise, there has unfortunately been a decline in sedan availability. Many brands are trimming their sedan lineup or even eliminating sedans completely since people are looking for more cargo space and flexibility with their vehicles, leading them towards other vehicle segments. However, with the need to compete against crossovers and SUVs, sedans today are more versatile and spacious than ever before, heating the competition between the few sedans left on the market. This includes two of the leaders of the midsize sedan segment that continuously compete head to head against one another: the 2022 Honda Accord vs 2022 Toyota Camry.
Both the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry own the midsize sedan segment by delivering drivers everything they need in a car. With their great performance and their comfortable and convenient interiors equipped with some of the best technologies on the market, there's no wonder other automakers are eliminating sedans from their lineups. They are no match for either of them, and the real competition remains between the two segment leaders. Let's take a look at how the 2022 Honda Accord and the 2022 Toyota Camry pan out in comparison with one another.
When reveling in two great models belonging to an endangered vehicle segment, it's hard not to compare them with each other. Sedans are the vehicle of choice for drivers looking for the best performance on the road. They want great handling for easy maneuverability to follow the curves of the road with ease or to turn on a dime in the city, but then they also want a car that can accelerate and brake when necessary and give them great fuel economy to save on fuel costs. When you compare the midsize sedan segment's leading models, the 2022 Honda Accord vs 2022 Toyota Camry, you'll find their performance is very close to one another's, but each model has an element about its performance that makes it stand out from the other.
Both the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry are available with three engine choices for 2022, including a hybrid option for each giving you plenty of choice regarding power with each model. While the Camry offers larger engines than the Accord, including a V6 option, the Honda Accord takes the win for better gas mileage with an estimated 33 MPG combined for its 1.5L turbocharged engine versus the Toyota Camry's highest estimated combined rating at 32 MPG with its 2.5L four-cylinder.[b]
Although the larger engine sizes take away from its fuel efficiency, the Camry does have slightly better horsepower than the Accord, ranging from 202 hp to 301 hp. The Accord, however, does not fall too short of the Camry, offering from 192 hp to 252 hp. Further, Honda's turbocharged engines provide more torque than their less-efficient Toyota equivalents, providing up to 273 lb-ft of torque in the top 2.0L engine.
Even with lower horsepower statistics, the 2022 Honda Accord can accelerate, brake, handle and drive more smoothly than the Camry and many other cars for sale out there. Its base curb weight is over 150 lbs lighter than the Camry, allowing it to accelerate faster and brake quicker than the Camry. Not to mention the Accord is equipped with an available adaptive damper system for the suspension to ensure your ride is always an enjoyable one, especially with the smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. It just goes to show you, horsepower in a sedan isn't everything when it comes to overall performance.
What matters to spectators and other drivers you might pass by on the highway is the exterior appearance of your vehicle. However, what should matter to you, other than what's under the hood, is the interior cabin space. This boils down to the size, style, comfort, and amenities that will provide you with an enjoyable ride no matter where you travel or for how long, whether you are in the city stuck in traffic or on the open highway. When you are trying to decide between two great leaders in the midsize sedan segment, the 2022 Honda Accord vs 2022 Toyota Camry, comparing what's inside the shell of their visually appealing exteriors can help sway you towards the most suitable model. Remember––you'll be spending a lot more time inside the vehicle than staring at its exterior.
Typically, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but the 2022 Honda Accord displays a sleek and sophisticated exterior that is carried into the cabin space with a variety of premium styling effects and advanced features. However, the Camry does share some of the Accord's available premium features. For an aesthetically appealing appearance, they both offer available leather-trimmed seats as well as heated and ventilated seating for comfortable driving in any weather. But what the Camry doesn't offer that the 2022 Honda Accord does is an open design resembling that of a concert hall, which goes very well with Honda's Active Noise Cancellation when you are trying to drown out the noise of the world with your favorite music.
While both sedans provide seating for up to five passengers, the 2022 Honda Accord offers more space inside its cabin for everyone to enjoy. The Accord has a total of 105.6 cubic feet of passenger volume, with 42.3 inches of front legroom and 40.4 inches of legroom for the rear passengers. The Camry offers much less space all-around, with only 100.4 cubic feet of passenger volume, which allows for slightly less legroom than the Accord, at 42.1 inches up front and only 38 inches of legroom in the back.
Plus, without a standard shifter in the Accord, the front seat looks and feels more open than the Camry. Although each model is equipped with a 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback to allow shared space with the trunk so that you can bring along long items when needed, the Accord provides more cargo space in its trunk with 16.7 cubic feet versus the Camry's 15.1 cubic feet. If you are looking for a sizable sedan to provide you with a comfortable design and appearance, the 2022 Honda Accord takes the lead over its top competitor.
Technology is as important in vehicles today as what's under the hood. Not only does advanced technology in vehicles provide convenience and entertainment, but also features that will work with you to keep you and your passengers safe while on the road. With the slow demise of the sedan segment, models like the 2022 Honda Accord and 2022 Toyota Camry have to try to go above and beyond to take the number one spot and the new Honda vehicles seemingly take the cake time and time again.
Most vehicles you can buy today will provide you with the basic technologies to make driving easier and more enjoyable for you. Both the Accord and the Camry are available with driver-assist safety suites to take some of the pressure off of you as the driver with features that will alert you when a collision seems inevitable plus assist you in preventing a collision like automatic emergency braking.
They both also offer convenience features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity so that you can connect your smartphone for hands-free calling, messaging, and streaming your favorite music. Plus, with the availability of wireless charging, you can keep your phone charged cord-free, resulting in a less cluttered cabin. Navigation is also available with each model to keep you heading in the right direction, while the available head-up displays will help keep your focus on the road ahead without the need to look away to view important information like the fuel gauge and speedometer.
With so much in common regarding technology between these two midsize sedans, where the 2022 Honda Accord takes the lead over the Camry is with entertainment. The 2022 Toyota Camry and the 2022 Honda Accord are both available with an onboard WiFi hotspot allowing everyone to continue streaming their favorite videos or music wherever the road may take them. However, the Accord amplifies your musical escape, literally, with its available 10-speaker premium audio system to work with its concert hall interior design. The Active Noise Cancellation in the Accord also contributes to your musical experience by ensuring your in-car concert remains uninterrupted by unwanted noise from outdoors. On the other hand, the Camry only offers nine JBL speakers in its upgraded Premium Audio system package, which unfortunately knocks Toyota down to second place against the 2022 Honda Accord in the very competitive technology category.
