@@Hallowsaw in canada an AWD XLE camry starts at $48,500 and a crown base model starts at $58,000, At that point just upgrade to a Lexus. The Crown seems pointless
@Hallowsaw Or just get an LE or SE awd for much less. If you want luxury, then it makes sense to grab a Venza or Crown Signia but if you just need usable and awd, you can't really beat the value of the lower Toyota trims. The heated seat and steering wheel package is also pretty cheap.
So I’m about 15 min in and wanted to weigh in on my personal experience with the accord as I’ve driven it fairly extensively on loan from my local Honda dealership while my regular ride got worked on. Yall are spot on with the pros and cons. That interior, while way more cohesive looking and better laid out than the Camry imo, is capital D drab. It reminds me of Volkswagen when they were at their peak; it’s very Germanic, very understated, to a fault. And I was driving an EX trim, which has even less material variability than the higher end hybrid models. No rear vents is such a deal breaker for me. These are all things I think Honda will (and should) address in the refresh next year or so. As far as the pros go: also spot on. The infotainment is solid even on the poverty spec and this is even better. And since they both drive relatively the same, the better seating position and ergonomic layout of the accord swings a win for me over the Camry. The seating position is so good and everything just falls to hand. The cupholder placement in particular is just fucking perfect. Sounds ridiculous but in a car like this it matters. Both my kiddos loved the backseat space too and that trunk is truly gigantic. While you can’t go wrong with either, I think even with my gripes, it’s the driver interface, simplicity of controls and better seating position of the accord that wins me over for the Honda. I do dig the Camry, but those little intangibles are a big deal. Now for the love of god get some color and rear vents in that interior, Honda.
In Asia, Honda has been known for being obsessed with copying German brands, especially VW and Audi. Their consoles in the recent models of the Civic, Accord, and CR-V are nearly identical to those in the Audi A4. The CR-V exterior looks almost the same as VW Taos. Now Honda also wants to move forward as an EV only, like Audi. In Asia, Honda has never been a leader in auto manufacturing. They like to follow others.
I got a accord exl a few weeks ago. Mine has the grey and black interior. Its only available on 3 colors. Red, white, and the metallic grey. The grey and black interior is so much nicer.
Great review as always guys. Btw, in terms of advertised vs actual mileage, my 23 Accord Hybrid blows past 50mpg every tank year round surpassing the advertised mileage. Living in the NY/NJ area i get a pretty good mix of driving conditions.
I'm glad the newer gen is getting better mileage. My 2019 hybrid would go up to about 42/45 mpg at most. But, on the lower end it would never get below 36, even when towing a motorcycle trailer going 75 mph.
Great, what people don’t realize is even though according to gets slightly lesser MPG than Camry the amount of Dollars they earn over a period is like less than 500$ , compare that to the ridiculous amount of overpay these Toyota dealers asking for
Amazing job with your videos. There´s a lot of information (really good info), nice visuals, good ol´ sarcasm, some bromance, and great audio and video quality.
15:19 personally I like the all black interior, yes the Camry one looks more stylish and classy, but I wonder how it will hold up again dirt, over time.
48.3 MPG, 300+ miles into 2nd tank of a 2024 Accord Hybrid Touring version - typical suburban driving - admittingly serene driver most of the time. I almost bought the 2024 Camry V6 since they are going away forever...it was a sweet motor. Great review.
I appreciate the knowledge and the sense of humor you guys inject into all of your videos. Please don't stop what you are doing. This channel deserves so much praise in my humble opinion!
It's almost like this video in intuitive to answer everything a person looking to buy this car would want to know. Spectacular job. I have been a fan of yours since the beginning, so great seeing how far your videos have evolved. I do miss the shoppe segment tho!!! Boy did that make me lmfao
This has to be one of the most comprehensive car comparisons i think ive ever seen. Incredible detail, and outlines things i wasnt even aware of. Great video
Every time I rent a car (which is often) I ask for a full size sedan. They never ever have one available and give me an SUV and act like they are doing me a favor. First world problems yes, but after 20 times it gets annoying.
@@jbraunger exactly. I had a 9 hour road trip to Maine. They “upgraded” me from a ford focus to a ford ecosport. I was pissed. Got 25 mpg the whole way instead of 40 and was blown around all over the highway.
As a proper petrol head I just can't get over the fact that they had a pretty much perfect sedan with the previous gen. 2l turbo with 250hp and 10 speed transmission. None of that cvt crap. Plus you could get it with a 6 speed manual as well. This gen with it's puny 1.5 or hybrid feels like it was made for the elderly.
@@TermlessHGWMasses don’t want that.. just take your iphone as an example.. you want 20 hours of charging and need to be thinnest possible while running multiple apps with the biggest possible MP cameras… who wants the original Manual transmission these days?

I’ve had my 25 Camry for 1200 miles now, SE with multimedia upgrade, sunroof, convenience package. It’s been good to me so far. Some door trim rattling which I need to get fixed but aside from that it’s been very good to me
@@g60corrado91I have the same exact as them, Fwd. when I’m driving for fun and accelerating unnecessarily, I get around 43mpg. When I’m driving for mpg, I get as high as 55+ on highway heavy drives of course.
I love the fact that you guys, always get up to par, when it comes to the technology gimmicks and quirks, which automotive industries are throwing at us lately. This is notable in the tech and infotainment section. Keep good work and thanks for maintaining us as users, deeply informed about all this. Awesome job guys.
The interior of the Honda gets a "D" for dour, dark and drab. For me its the interior of the Camry and the nicer audio system that wins me over. Also using a Linux info system is less likely to share driving information than a google based system. I am sure google would not mind selling your driver info to your insurance company as well.
If you keep your cars there’s no comparison. The Camry is made to last and run much longer without giving the owners any trouble whatsoever while the Accords aren’t what they were in the 1990s and before. They’ve become delicate little flowers and it shows up around four years old and then you have to start pumping money into them like European cars. I had a very rude awakening from Honda and switched. I don’t have the time to bring cars in. I just don’t deal with it.
Most of us don't need AWD, and one thing that drives me nuts about my Toyota is the same complaint you guys had; you feel like you're sitting on top of the car when you're driving it.
You can lower the driver seat in the XSE from my test drive it was just fine I like sitting low and reclined in a relaxed drivers position and the Camry did just fine for me.
Thanks Fellas, absolutely terrific comparison video. One aspect of your reviews that is especially appreciated is that you get the vehicles up on the lift and discuss the components and manufacturing. You provide measured data which is lacking in most other reviews. Your accompanying graphics are always well done and helpful. Plus, you are both pleasant and fun. We've been shopping for a replacement for our 2002 Camry (which is still an excellent car 22 years later) because we'd like some of the modern safety and general tech. We have been waiting for a 50mpg hybrid that is not a Prius and so have watched numerous vids. We will not even consider a car unless y'all have a review for it. If we may - please consider a comparison video for hybrid suv under $50k. Again, thank you for the fine work.
The Accord has always had a edginess to it and IMO it doesn't disappoint in the hybrid version. I really like Honda's new hybrid setup. As Jack pointed out cant go wrong with either choice but I would lean towards the Accord
@@paulhenry913 LOL Toyota constantly ranks more reliable than Honda. That Accords “transmission” has clutches that will go bad long before the Toyota’s planetary gearset cvt.
I'm sure that the felt wheel and under body panels do something for noise, but as someone that lives where there is a bunch of snow and slush for about half the year, I hate them. It absorbs water, gets heavy and sags, than freezes. It then gets torn up on ice chucks because it is hanging too low. I had to get new panels and then soak them in epoxy to harden them and prevent them from absorbing water. I'd take slightly more noise over that hassle any time.
Thank you for the review, I absolutely agree with everything being said here. Test drove a Camry and just couldn't bear the whining noise, then test drove an Accord and was blown away by how much more refined it is and eventually bought the Accord.
I bought a Camry XSE last week. I absolutely love it. This is my first Hybrid vehicle, and I have no complaints. It's a quick car, extremely smooth over bumps, and handles insanely well.
Just got a 2025 Accord Touring and took my first of many work trips in it. As a tall guy (6'3") I fit beautifully. It is comfortable and quiet. I am happy with my decision and the hybrid system is smooth as silk.
There aren't many UA-cam channels I would watch a Accord v Camry battle, even at 1.75 speed, so kudos there. I would default to AWD and a spare if forced to choose.
I've been watching you guys for a while. Your content is top shelf. I'm happy with my '25 LE Camry that I picked up last week, you helped win me over to the refreshed model. Also Vulfpeck rocks.
Agreed. I bought the Camry LE with option package. As an entry level trim, I think that it is the car to get. It has more than enough "features". I did not AB it with the Honda but to get the same ride in a hybrid vehicle , I would have to go with Honda Touring trim. That is much more than I would be willing to spend on a new car.
Interior noise dampening really does mean a lot to me (I put a lot of miles on broken highways and gridlocked cities). I’d probably make my decision purely based on that. When I’m in my motorcycle I want the wind around me. When I’m in a car I want an isolation chamber.
Oddly enough, if you're going to the high end trims, you're getting dangerously close to the Lexus ES and IS, Audi A4, Toyota Crown, and Acura TLX. If isolation is your number one priority, you'd probably be better off going a hair more expensive (or CPO) on one of those entry luxury vehicles, since they're considerably more insulated.
@@aprturwell said. I would not spend $40k for the premium versions with skinny tires for a commuter. I’d get a 2-3 year old ES300h. True isolation chamber with more sidewall and better interior.
@@Mark-eu6mc absolutely - even saving a bit longer isn't out of the question since there are usually great deals on the ES. Or, for that matter, a CPO Avalon if the Crown is too outlandish (or you want the V6).
@@aprtur In order to get similar features in an ES (better sound, hud, etc) including hybrid engine it basically shoots its price up to more around $52,000. That extra $10,000 may be worth it depending on what you're willing to spend, but I'm still torn.

@@carlosl5858 light grey ain’t brown. And it’s only available with boring paint colors anyway. Mazda too expensive for what it is, and they don’t make the 6 anymore, which is what would compete with this
I just got a 2024 Accord Sport L, but whatever, neither here nor there, can’t go wrong with either car. Let’s talk about the production value of this video!!! Amazing quality on this channel. Wow.
Excellent video- I think this gave me a better idea of how these cars drive than any other video I have ever seen! I particularly liked the long seat-of-the-pants driving review. 5*
As for your mpg comparison, you used an Accord Sport with swapped out 19 inch tires for your result of. 38 mpg. The Accord EX-L with 17 inch tires does get the advertised mpg of 48-51 during warm months over 50 degrees F on average. The EX-L is the hidden gem among the Accord line-up.
Love my '24 EX-L, normal mpg is 55-60 in the city. 45-48 on the interstates. Just traded my 2019 Camry Hybrid XLE for a '25 Camry LE. Similarly equipped as the EX-L. Both are great cars.
Best comparison video I’ve ever seen. I have the Accord EX-L hybrid and love it, even the monochromatic interior. Everything feels intuitive and laid out well. It drives like an entry level luxury car with flat cornering. Doing 80 mph on the interstate feels as smooth and quiet as doing 50. Only complaint so far is the passenger front seat. My wife hates how low it is and there’s no height adjustment.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but the styling on the Camry is better than the Accord, and that has never been true before. Also, these reviews need more donut holes and Arby’s
Maybe concurrently. Both have looked good/bad on release or as time goes on. That said, I am not a fan of this Honda design. Reminds me of the final gen Ford Taurus front in a way.
@@miniaddict4534Actually no. Honda ripped off the "Lobster" tail lights🙄🙄. The 2012-2014 Camry had them first, then the Accord ripped those off. Just like they ripped off the Prius' overall shape with the first Insight
@@robertorazo4694 the first insight came to market before the first prius did. also the first prius was a sedan that looks nothing like the insight lmao
I think the Camry exterior looks better this gen, Accord looks like a love child of a ford taurus and vw jetta. Interior of accord is better though imo.
I’d love to hear about how well the driving assistance works ie radar cruise to and stop and lane keep asst especially on curvy roads and in stop and go traffic. I know it would take more time to make a review but it’s the most important feature for me at least for a commuter car.
I will tell you as someone who owns the current vehicles in the 2020s and above. If you live in an area where the roads are bump and have potholes, the lane keeping assist is mostly useless as you would rather have it off. Radar cruise is good especially the adaptive cruise control in Toyota on the highway as that’s what’s I own. The one feature that’s underrated that you will enjoy is the automatic high beams. More useful than most features in my opinion
Wow , the algorithm 😊 , never been to this site before , it just came on and I like Japanese cars so I let it run , and I have to say I’m glad I did ! Guys , well done , an excellent in depth car video , instant subscriber . The only thing you guys didn’t mention was warranty and servicing that you could add if you wanted to , still from an old car guy that worked in the motor industry, great review. If I was to pick one over the other , I’m a practical old bastard first and foremost, having a proper spare wheel and jack in the back is a must , they both look like good cars though , the other thing for me is runs on the board , I know Honda puts cars together well , but Toyota has been making hybrids since Moses was a boy , so there is that. Regarding the user controls layout being very nice in the Honda , it actually reminds me of an old ford sedan from 2001 here in Australia that in some ways looked very similar and I loved it , most of the controls on my old ford I could operate without even looking away from the road, I do like simple common sense design. Although as you said there’s probably no right or wrong, I’d be leaning towards the Toyota, that’s just me. Cheers !
Something I havent seen mentioned anywhere is the performance of the base audio system in the Camry. I wonder how much of an improvement the JBL is over the base system?
The Honda hybrid physically connects the gasoline engine to the wheels at Highway speeds for reasons of efficiency. Otherwise there's conversion loss, twice
The fake shifts also dont use the clutch, unlike what Mark says. It is emulated purely by engine rpm. Thats why sportmode stops fake shifting at high speed for most power. Highest available power is with clutch disengaged so inverter can combine max engine power + boost from battery. Electric motor power is the limiting factor.
Sometimes it blends the clutches into the simulated shifts, from standstill to 200kmh it starts electrical, continues with 1st clutch, disconnects it and goes into simulation, after that it continues with 2nd clutch and keeps it until maximum speed. You can notice the sprocket symbol in the center of the dash

I have the CRV Hybrid. It also has awd. I bought this solely for the exact reasons you noted in this review, notably a far more refined drivetrain and interior isolation. It isn’t as good as my prior CX5 but it was way better than the rattley and unrefined RAV4. This still gets 39 mpg which is good enough for me. I’ll take refined and smooth any day over pure efficiency.
@@sk-un5jq We had a 2021 RAV4 and it was solid. Thick heavy doors so I don't know what you mean by rattly or tinbox. It drove like fridge and the engine sounded like a coffee grinder but otherwise it felt like a tank.

I know we're talking CAMRYS and ACCORDS, but the proportions and shape of the Camry just look soooo much better. It's like the engineers at Honda tried to out-design Audi and gave up halfway through. The same design language works MUCH better better on the CRV
Toyotatards.. lol. Go to your local dealers and test drive both and you'll be blown away at how much more quiet, insulated, and refined the Accord hybrid is. It feels like a Lexus ES for $15k less.
Excellent video as always. This is why printed car magazines or their boring websites don’t make sense anymore. Add the fact that you are reviewing cars that the majority (me included) can afford.

AWD for the Camry tips the scales for me. And will likely be the difference maker for a lot of folks in northern climates.
Why spend 40k on an awd xle when you can get a awd crown signia for 45k
Simply put, car purchases are rarely all about rationality. Especially when most ppl lease. @@Hallowsaw
@@Hallowsaw in canada an AWD XLE camry starts at $48,500 and a crown base model starts at $58,000, At that point just upgrade to a Lexus. The Crown seems pointless
@@dustinjohnston2241 Agreed, the Crown makes about as much sense as the Maxima did for Nissan, and any Buick does for GM.
@Hallowsaw Or just get an LE or SE awd for much less. If you want luxury, then it makes sense to grab a Venza or Crown Signia but if you just need usable and awd, you can't really beat the value of the lower Toyota trims. The heated seat and steering wheel package is also pretty cheap.
So I’m about 15 min in and wanted to weigh in on my personal experience with the accord as I’ve driven it fairly extensively on loan from my local Honda dealership while my regular ride got worked on.
Yall are spot on with the pros and cons. That interior, while way more cohesive looking and better laid out than the Camry imo, is capital D drab. It reminds me of Volkswagen when they were at their peak; it’s very Germanic, very understated, to a fault. And I was driving an EX trim, which has even less material variability than the higher end hybrid models.
No rear vents is such a deal breaker for me. These are all things I think Honda will (and should) address in the refresh next year or so.
As far as the pros go: also spot on. The infotainment is solid even on the poverty spec and this is even better. And since they both drive relatively the same, the better seating position and ergonomic layout of the accord swings a win for me over the Camry. The seating position is so good and everything just falls to hand. The cupholder placement in particular is just fucking perfect. Sounds ridiculous but in a car like this it matters.
Both my kiddos loved the backseat space too and that trunk is truly gigantic.
While you can’t go wrong with either, I think even with my gripes, it’s the driver interface, simplicity of controls and better seating position of the accord that wins me over for the Honda. I do dig the Camry, but those little intangibles are a big deal.
Now for the love of god get some color and rear vents in that interior, Honda.
Higher trims have the vents
U needed a Touring trim
In Asia, Honda has been known for being obsessed with copying German brands, especially VW and Audi. Their consoles in the recent models of the Civic, Accord, and CR-V are nearly identical to those in the Audi A4. The CR-V exterior looks almost the same as VW Taos. Now Honda also wants to move forward as an EV only, like Audi. In Asia, Honda has never been a leader in auto manufacturing. They like to follow others.
11gen hondas have less features than the 10gen
I got a accord exl a few weeks ago. Mine has the grey and black interior. Its only available on 3 colors. Red, white, and the metallic grey. The grey and black interior is so much nicer.

Great review as always guys. Btw, in terms of advertised vs actual mileage, my 23 Accord Hybrid blows past 50mpg every tank year round surpassing the advertised mileage. Living in the NY/NJ area i get a pretty good mix of driving conditions.
I'm glad the newer gen is getting better mileage. My 2019 hybrid would go up to about 42/45 mpg at most. But, on the lower end it would never get below 36, even when towing a motorcycle trailer going 75 mph.
Great, what people don’t realize is even though according to gets slightly lesser MPG than Camry the amount of Dollars they earn over a period is like less than 500$ , compare that to the ridiculous amount of overpay these Toyota dealers asking for
I’ve watched ten different videos reviewing/comparing three two vehicles and this is by far the best. Well done, gents.
The most quality video product about cars on UA-cam. Keep it up folks!
These guys are great. I like the Car Care Nut, too.
Amazing job with your videos. There´s a lot of information (really good info), nice visuals, good ol´ sarcasm, some bromance, and great audio and video quality.
15:19 personally I like the all black interior, yes the Camry one looks more stylish and classy, but I wonder how it will hold up again dirt, over time.
48.3 MPG, 300+ miles into 2nd tank of a 2024 Accord Hybrid Touring version - typical suburban driving - admittingly serene driver most of the time. I almost bought the 2024 Camry V6 since they are going away forever...it was a sweet motor. Great review.
Please talk about date collection more often in your reviews. It’s much appreciated.
These are the kinds of comparisons I like to see! Using matching tires is brilliant for comparison of road manners. Suck on that Consumer reports!
And they used a tire people would actually use for daily driving!
Best car review channel in US/Canada. Competence, dedication, details, humor, ... Love you, guys. Thank you for one more great video.

Camry LE with AWD still gets like 50 mpg and has more tire for a nicer ride. Such a ridiculously great value. Really get my “Dad” blood racing 🥵
Doesn’t matter, get an accord instead

Congrats buddy, the car is great.
There is no tranny, its just the e-motor driving the wheels, thats why its sooo smooth.
Why does plug in variant exist?

Cars > SUV’s and Crossovers
But for many people, it’s the other way around.
*sheeple
Every time I rent a car (which is often) I ask for a full size sedan. They never ever have one available and give me an SUV and act like they are doing me a favor.
First world problems yes, but after 20 times it gets annoying.
@@jbraunger exactly. I had a 9 hour road trip to Maine. They “upgraded” me from a ford focus to a ford ecosport. I was pissed. Got 25 mpg the whole way instead of 40 and was blown around all over the highway.
Now which of the car in between won the comparison
Just bought an Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L and I love it. The Camry just became pricey when adding the option that I wanted. No regrets at all.
As a proper petrol head I just can't get over the fact that they had a pretty much perfect sedan with the previous gen. 2l turbo with 250hp and 10 speed transmission. None of that cvt crap. Plus you could get it with a 6 speed manual as well. This gen with it's puny 1.5 or hybrid feels like it was made for the elderly.
@@TermlessHGWMasses don’t want that.. just take your iphone as an example.. you want 20 hours of charging and need to be thinnest possible while running multiple apps with the biggest possible MP cameras… who wants the original Manual transmission these days? Tell me why should companies invest in this? Who’s buying ?
I’ve had my 25 Camry for 1200 miles now, SE with multimedia upgrade, sunroof, convenience package. It’s been good to me so far. Some door trim rattling which I need to get fixed but aside from that it’s been very good to me
What mileage have you been averaging? AWD or FWD?
@@g60corrado91I have the same exact as them, Fwd.
when I’m driving for fun and accelerating unnecessarily, I get around 43mpg. When I’m driving for mpg, I get as high as 55+ on highway heavy drives of course.
@@tekkh nice!
I love the fact that you guys, always get up to par, when it comes to the technology gimmicks and quirks, which automotive industries are throwing at us lately. This is notable in the tech and infotainment section. Keep good work and thanks for maintaining us as users, deeply informed about all this. Awesome job guys.
Camry. More power, better fuel economy, better interior, spare tyre and 4WD.
Yeah the accord is not as good. If you want Honda then just get the civic
@@angelgjr1999 In its class the Civic is more competitive, it's somewhat bigger for example than it's rivals and rides/handles very well.
The interior of the Honda gets a "D" for dour, dark and drab. For me its the interior of the Camry and the nicer audio system that wins me over. Also using a Linux info system is less likely to share driving information than a google based system. I am sure google would not mind selling your driver info to your insurance company as well.
But it's not a honda.
If you keep your cars there’s no comparison. The Camry is made to last and run much longer without giving the owners any trouble whatsoever while the Accords aren’t what they were in the 1990s and before. They’ve become delicate little flowers and it shows up around four years old and then you have to start pumping money into them like European cars. I had a very rude awakening from Honda and switched. I don’t have the time to bring cars in. I just don’t deal with it.
Most of us don't need AWD, and one thing that drives me nuts about my Toyota is the same complaint you guys had; you feel like you're sitting on top of the car when you're driving it.
Most people say that but Toyota is secretly gunning for the SUV driver who doesn’t want to be seen in an SUV
@@facetiousmonkey5322clearly evident in that mess called the crown
The last couple rental Toyotas I had felt like that. I feel like it's been like that for years. I don't understand why people want that.
Sounds like a personal problem. See a therapist
You can lower the driver seat in the XSE from my test drive it was just fine I like sitting low and reclined in a relaxed drivers position and the Camry did just fine for me.
The intro music sets me in the mood for Camry and Accord. Thank you Savage.
Toyota/Lexus is innovating here and offering feature set value (for the price) like Hyundai/Kia has been doing for years. About dang time!
If they’re anything like Hyundai and Kia reliability, then you should get an Accord
Thanks Fellas, absolutely terrific comparison video. One aspect of your reviews that is especially appreciated is that you get the vehicles up on the lift and discuss the components and manufacturing. You provide measured data which is lacking in most other reviews. Your accompanying graphics are always well done and helpful. Plus, you are both pleasant and fun.
We've been shopping for a replacement for our 2002 Camry (which is still an excellent car 22 years later) because we'd like some of the modern safety and general tech.
We have been waiting for a 50mpg hybrid that is not a Prius and so have watched numerous vids. We will not even consider a car unless y'all have a review for it.
If we may - please consider a comparison video for hybrid suv under $50k.
Again, thank you for the fine work.
The Accord has always had a edginess to it and IMO it doesn't disappoint in the hybrid version. I really like Honda's new hybrid setup. As Jack pointed out cant go wrong with either choice but I would lean towards the Accord
Junk
I would go with the most generations.
“edginess” meaning fake shift sounds and being much slower than a Camry especially when you get to higher speeds.
@@glassrockpurple154 it also means no debris in the engine
@@paulhenry913 LOL Toyota constantly ranks more reliable than Honda. That Accords “transmission” has clutches that will go bad long before the Toyota’s planetary gearset cvt.
I'm sure that the felt wheel and under body panels do something for noise, but as someone that lives where there is a bunch of snow and slush for about half the year, I hate them. It absorbs water, gets heavy and sags, than freezes. It then gets torn up on ice chucks because it is hanging too low. I had to get new panels and then soak them in epoxy to harden them and prevent them from absorbing water. I'd take slightly more noise over that hassle any time.
I like the felt in the wheel wells, in my experience it holds up well in Midwest winters. Never had it on the underbody though
Never had a problem with mine in Edmonton winters.
Really appreciate this comparison for normal people looking for information to make an informed purchasing decision.
Thank you for the review, I absolutely agree with everything being said here. Test drove a Camry and just couldn't bear the whining noise, then test drove an Accord and was blown away by how much more refined it is and eventually bought the Accord.
I agree. The powertrain refinement of the Accord Hybrid truly allows it to punch above it’s weight class
I bought a Camry XSE last week. I absolutely love it. This is my first Hybrid vehicle, and I have no complaints. It's a quick car, extremely smooth over bumps, and handles insanely well.
Just got a 2025 Accord Touring and took my first of many work trips in it. As a tall guy (6'3") I fit beautifully. It is comfortable and quiet. I am happy with my decision and the hybrid system is smooth as silk.
One of the best reviews I have seen in a while.
Love when my car watches me like big brother.
I'm the Camry of husbands. My wife says I am quiet but grating.
Then trade it in for an Accord
@@njad3 (Don't tell my wife!) 🙂
Cheesy
Profile pic checks out
There aren't many UA-cam channels I would watch a Accord v Camry battle, even at 1.75 speed, so kudos there.
I would default to AWD and a spare if forced to choose.
First time seeing one of your videos! Enjoyed it. Very thorough. Thanks
I've been watching you guys for a while. Your content is top shelf. I'm happy with my '25 LE Camry that I picked up last week, you helped win me over to the refreshed model. Also Vulfpeck rocks.
Agreed. I bought the Camry LE with option package. As an entry level trim, I think that it is the car to get. It has more than enough "features". I did not AB it with the Honda but to get the same ride in a hybrid vehicle , I would have to go with Honda Touring trim. That is much more than I would be willing to spend on a new car.
Interior noise dampening really does mean a lot to me (I put a lot of miles on broken highways and gridlocked cities). I’d probably make my decision purely based on that. When I’m in my motorcycle I want the wind around me. When I’m in a car I want an isolation chamber.
Oddly enough, if you're going to the high end trims, you're getting dangerously close to the Lexus ES and IS, Audi A4, Toyota Crown, and Acura TLX. If isolation is your number one priority, you'd probably be better off going a hair more expensive (or CPO) on one of those entry luxury vehicles, since they're considerably more insulated.
@@aprturI was thinking the same thing.
@@aprturwell said. I would not spend $40k for the premium versions with skinny tires for a commuter. I’d get a 2-3 year old ES300h. True isolation chamber with more sidewall and better interior.
@@Mark-eu6mc absolutely - even saving a bit longer isn't out of the question since there are usually great deals on the ES. Or, for that matter, a CPO Avalon if the Crown is too outlandish (or you want the V6).
@@aprtur In order to get similar features in an ES (better sound, hud, etc) including hybrid engine it basically shoots its price up to more around $52,000. That extra $10,000 may be worth it depending on what you're willing to spend, but I'm still torn.
Thanks for the info about privacy and data collection. Recently saw Breaking Points vid about ins companies and car manufacturers sharing and selling data
Just bought a 2024 Accord Hybrid Sport. Loving it so far. Our daily commuting and driving is all under 50mph, and this this feels extremely crisp, smooth, responsive, and QUIET.
You guys rock.
I thank God you exist in the internet. No other channel speaks to me like you do.
Keep on truckin.
If the Accord came with a saddle tan/brown interior option, I'd have one already
I hate that pretty much all new cars now only offer black or black with gray “highlights” for interiors. I like lighter warmer colors!
Go to Mazda
Light gray interior leather is available on the EX-L and Touring models
@@carlosl5858 light grey ain’t brown. And it’s only available with boring paint colors anyway. Mazda too expensive for what it is, and they don’t make the 6 anymore, which is what would compete with this
That’s why accord doesn’t have marks up and adds on like Camry does.
The side profile of the Accord looks like a large sportback Audi sedan
I actually appreciate the Accord side. profile and I like the flat front look. The rear lights look great to me. Doesn’t look cheap to me.
The quilted dash and door panels on the Camry makes me yearn for more piano black.
I just got a 2024 Accord Sport L, but whatever, neither here nor there, can’t go wrong with either car. Let’s talk about the production value of this video!!! Amazing quality on this channel. Wow.
Excellent video- I think this gave me a better idea of how these cars drive than any other video I have ever seen! I particularly liked the long seat-of-the-pants driving review. 5*
Thanks!
As for your mpg comparison, you used an Accord Sport with swapped out 19 inch tires for your result of. 38 mpg. The Accord EX-L with 17 inch tires does get the advertised mpg of 48-51 during warm months over 50 degrees F on average. The EX-L is the hidden gem among the Accord line-up.
The EX-L is the best value in the lineup
Love my '24 EX-L, normal mpg is 55-60 in the city. 45-48 on the interstates. Just traded my 2019 Camry Hybrid XLE for a '25 Camry LE. Similarly equipped as the EX-L. Both are great cars.
Respect both brands, and both are great products, but I'm team Honda based on personal experience.
Another great video. I really appreciate the comparo videos and the time, effort, and logistics to be able to do it.
Best comparison video I’ve ever seen. I have the Accord EX-L hybrid and love it, even the monochromatic interior. Everything feels intuitive and laid out well. It drives like an entry level luxury car with flat cornering. Doing 80 mph on the interstate feels as smooth and quiet as doing 50.
Only complaint so far is the passenger front seat. My wife hates how low it is and there’s no height adjustment.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but the styling on the Camry is better than the Accord, and that has never been true before. Also, these reviews need more donut holes and Arby’s
Maybe concurrently. Both have looked good/bad on release or as time goes on. That said, I am not a fan of this Honda design. Reminds me of the final gen Ford Taurus front in a way.
@@trumpet12345why is that bad the Taurus was handsome and mature....
It’s funny to see Honda dropped the lobster claw tail lights but Toyota adopted them.
@@miniaddict4534Actually no. Honda ripped off the "Lobster" tail lights🙄🙄. The 2012-2014 Camry had them first, then the Accord ripped those off. Just like they ripped off the Prius' overall shape with the first Insight
@@robertorazo4694 the first insight came to market before the first prius did. also the first prius was a sedan that looks nothing like the insight lmao
I think the Camry exterior looks better this gen, Accord looks like a love child of a ford taurus and vw jetta. Interior of accord is better though imo.
We have S650 Mustang at home
The true good looking Honda these days is that new Civic non-hatch. Best looking car they've made in a while.
I disagree. The Camry will not age well. It's over styled. Accord looks more grown and sophisticated, but that's subjective.
I've always thought the latest Accords favor a Charger in the front, especially in white I have mistook it for a Police cruiser coming at me.
I’d love to hear about how well the driving assistance works ie radar cruise to and stop and lane keep asst especially on curvy roads and in stop and go traffic. I know it would take more time to make a review but it’s the most important feature for me at least for a commuter car.
I will tell you as someone who owns the current vehicles in the 2020s and above. If you live in an area where the roads are bump and have potholes, the lane keeping assist is mostly useless as you would rather have it off. Radar cruise is good especially the adaptive cruise control in Toyota on the highway as that’s what’s I own. The one feature that’s underrated that you will enjoy is the automatic high beams. More useful than most features in my opinion
yes i agree. I miss C-Net on cars and "checking the tech"
felt like an OG video, great work
Wow , the algorithm 😊 , never been to this site before , it just came on and I like Japanese cars so I let it run , and I have to say I’m glad I did !
Guys , well done , an excellent in depth car video , instant subscriber .
The only thing you guys didn’t mention was warranty and servicing that you could add if you wanted to , still from an old car guy that worked in the motor industry, great review.
If I was to pick one over the other , I’m a practical old bastard first and foremost, having a proper spare wheel and jack in the back is a must , they both look like good cars though , the other thing for me is runs on the board , I know Honda puts cars together well , but Toyota has been making hybrids since Moses was a boy , so there is that.
Regarding the user controls layout being very nice in the Honda , it actually reminds me of an old ford sedan from 2001 here in Australia that in some ways looked very similar and I loved it , most of the controls on my old ford I could operate without even looking away from the road, I do like simple common sense design.
Although as you said there’s probably no right or wrong, I’d be leaning towards the Toyota, that’s just me.
Cheers !
Very very profecional review....I understand it's probably a lot of work producing and editing a review like this but so worth watching.

The Honda hybrid physically connects the gasoline engine to the wheels at Highway speeds for reasons of efficiency. Otherwise there's conversion loss, twice
Correct. I wonder if a V6 in the same setup livens things up and allows it to be put in their larger platforms.
The fake shifts also dont use the clutch, unlike what Mark says. It is emulated purely by engine rpm. Thats why sportmode stops fake shifting at high speed for most power. Highest available power is with clutch disengaged so inverter can combine max engine power + boost from battery. Electric motor power is the limiting factor.
The engine can also directly provide electricity to the wheels without going to the battery if needed as well.
Sometimes it blends the clutches into the simulated shifts, from standstill to 200kmh it starts electrical, continues with 1st clutch, disconnects it and goes into simulation, after that it continues with 2nd clutch and keeps it until maximum speed.
You can notice the sprocket symbol in the center of the dash
@@vladdutz20 yes, Honda isn't going to just drop the clutch. It will be smooth
I've got to say I watch your videos regardless of the format. I find you both entertaining as well as informative. Trust me, Zach, I know what it's like working with the pops.

This is a video I will probably rewatch in 2-3 years when it comes time to settle on a family car.
I have the CRV Hybrid. It also has awd. I bought this solely for the exact reasons you noted in this review, notably a far more refined drivetrain and interior isolation. It isn’t as good as my prior CX5 but it was way better than the rattley and unrefined RAV4. This still gets 39 mpg which is good enough for me. I’ll take refined and smooth any day over pure efficiency.
CRV hybrid over the rattly RAV4 easily. RAV4 feels like a tinbox from 20 yrs ago.

Why are you testing the Camry top trim vs the Accord mid trim?
And the Camry is more expensive than the Accords top trim anyway BEFORE dealer markup
Yeah should have sport touring hybrid vs xse, or sport hybrid vs le
Probably because that was the only trim available at the time of filming.
100% agree. Rented both back to back and noticed how refined the drivetrain on Accord was. Looking forward on the Civic hybrid!
Best review on the web!! Extemely comprehensive!! Great!!
I really enjoyed this. In the end I'd pick the Camry, but I'm happy that both sedans are still around, still selling well, and still being updated. So I'm not forced into an SUV.
Honestly, the full black interior in the Honda pulls on my goth heart strings.... But, just like the majority of my vehicles in the past, I just about die in the summer with how hot they get.... That's the only reason I'd consider skipping that one
The better comparison would have been with the Accord Touring. Having a fully loaded XLE was not fair against the Sport-L.
The accord hybrid touring is $39k. Not sure that’s a fair comparison.
@@Mark-eu6mc That Camry XLE they used is $40k+. It was fully optioned out.

@@VeyroneRDon't act like you don't like some airflow on you. Are you saying you never turn on fans in your home, and instead wait for the AC to cool down the whole house?
I know we're talking CAMRYS and ACCORDS, but the proportions and shape of the Camry just look soooo much better. It's like the engineers at Honda tried to out-design Audi and gave up halfway through. The same design language works MUCH better better on the CRV
My takeaway from this video is bar donuts are called long johns in the midwest.
Nice work guys, keep up the good work!
First time I'm watching this channel. Using the same tyres got me hooked instantly
Ok what about the Camry with no Panoramic roof. Is it quieter than the Accord?

Excellent video as always. This is why printed car magazines or their boring websites don’t make sense anymore. Add the fact that you are reviewing cars that the majority (me included) can afford.
Everything in those magazines including the articles is an ad.
