I got the sonata. I love it with the features it has. One mistake car connections made was the price on Camry to match sonata features are closer to 43/45 not 39. They have a base xse but there is a package you have to get similar features the sonata offers. The warranty I never have an issue with Hyundai honoring it. But with the bluelink for life was a major selling point for me.
I think Hyundai has significantly stepped up their game. I've owned a 15 Pilot, 98 Camry and my mom has owned multiple civics and CRVs. Her last CRV had major transmission issues. My first Hyundai was a 22 Palisade and loved it. Switched it out for a 24 Sonata Hybrid since the kids were starting to leave the house and not really needing an SUV anymore. We got my oldest a new Elantra and he loves it. Way more "hip" than the other comparable models. Time will just tell how reliable Hyundai has really become. Knock on wood...zero issues with the 3 we currently own.
If you are concerned just sell before 10 years or 100K miles. Let's be honest most buyers don't keep there cars till they die. And if you normally like to do that just get a Toyota lol
Stop hating on Hyundai, @ayushmalpeddi2793. Hyundai's last more than 100K miles. A friend of mine had a 2005 Santa fe with 200k miles. Hyundai have stepped up their game and they need some respect
I have owned both Camrys and Sonatas in my life. They are both great cars and have positive things to stay about both of them. While the Sonata probably edges out the Camry with features, I will take the Camry reliability any day of the week
Two months ago I test drove an Accord hybrid and a Camry hybrid. I thought about driving the Hyundai hybrid for about a minute. I got the Camry. Mostly because Honda didn't want to negotiate.
@@SoBe80s. I test drove both and the accord drivetrain is incredibly smooth. However value proposition wise, Camry no brainer. A lot more stuff and less expensive.
@@SoBe80s. Accord is a better handling car. I traded in a civic sport touring. I am extremely familiar with Honda. The Camry was a better value. That and the extra little something in the power train was the only reason I chose the Camry Hybrid. The Accord has a little nicer interior also.
@SoBe80s. The Honda drives better and handles better and has a higher top speed of 124 mph. The Honda is larger inside and in the trunk space. The Camry is faster, but has a lower top speed of 118 mph. The Camry is the best commuter car.

Yeah, I plan on getting an AWD Camry at the end of the year. I do like the Hyundai interior a lot, but the overall drive experience is much better in the Camry.
They’re both great cars, I ultimately went with the sonata because of the standard features while the Camry pay walls them in the premium plus package. Not to mention Hyundai has been offering really good lease deals to get more market share. $549 after a trade in while Toyota wants over $700 to lease a similarly packaged Camry.
Adding a trade in to a lease deal is not smart and it can vary the payment greatly. You should have not mentioned a lease after a trade in. That doesn’t help anyone. You didn’t even mention a capitalized cost reduction or money factor. You don’t know what you are talking about tbh.
Yep. Their truck based vehicles have gone down in reliability but I would suspect that their standard hybrids like this Camry and others to still be reliable. But as with any modern vehicle, the tech probably won’t last 2” years like a car from 10 years ago would.
Im taking the Hyundai Sonata! It's just a better package all away around for the money. People are quick to ding Hyundai's reliability. But dont want to discuss the current problems Toyota is facing. Oh, the irony! The point is that not every car is perfect, including Toyota.
@atweber The same with my friend 2021 Accord when it was new. I drive a Hyundai, so I am living proof that my car is reliable. Only the ones who go by what people are telling them or never driven a Hyundai will talk about its reliability. But again, Toyota is in the news for their shortcomings if engine problems and people are just I'm crickets.
Don't believe these comments! I bought a 2016 Hyundai Tuscon 2.0 (USED) AT 64K Miles, 3 years later no problems at all, current mileage is at 150k, NOT ONE SINGLE PROBLEM, only ac compressor had to be replaced *dealer took care of that! I was skeptical about Hyundais prior this purchase, im not ready to upgrade to a newer Car and Model
I'm currently in the market for a sedan, and got to drive both. The Hyundai offers more features for the money. Although, the Camry had better chassis feel for me, and a bit more juice under the hood. More than likely going to be going with the Camry.
At the time you want to resell you Toyota, is the value difference over the Hyundai more than when you bought it? What if you consider inflation, and what you could do with the money you save not going with Toyota? If you really care about resale, you'll look at all the numbers. So many people offer blanket statements without actually considering what they mean. (And they are ignoring Toyota engine recalls of late.)

Rides on smooth quiet 16" wheels that are even cheaper to replace. AND comes with a temporary service spare tire that the Sonata does not. Plus, there's room under the floor to fit a full service spare down the road if you choose to do so. THAT'S the real deal.
Toyota all day, my mom had a 2015 sonata she bought brand new and after eight years the transmission and engine failed and Hyundai didn’t wanna fix it.
No hybrid Sonata for Canada - very odd. They said the Elantra has almost identical space UP FRONT compared to the Accord; and here the Elantra "sizing" is more popular than the Sonata - and I guess the true AWD in the base Sonata (which gets a bunch more features here - leather vented memory seats and so on) is more the client they are using that model for. It is true as Canadians have tended to buy one size smaller for comparable profiles. Interestingly - worth an "I wonder" - the K5 and the Forte were retired here with apparently the K4 replacing BOTH ... humm.
The camry has remote start on the fob as well, just have to press the lock button a few times. You only need a subscription if you want to use the app.
i trust Toyota. they are also getting mych better in term of driving pleasure and feeling. nevertheless i wish Toyota makes better interiors in terms of quality and color combinations. Korean cars are very nice when it comes to color combinations of their interiors. lot of people who for any reason want to bash Toyota products will always try to write negative comments about them. nevertheless I believe that Toyota's new generations also are excellent cars and again they are getting much better in terms of driving experience too.

I personally think the Kia K5 GT is one of the sharpest looking sedans for the money. The Sonata is ugly in comparison. For me since the Camry no longer offers the V6 and the Accord no longer offers the 2.0 turbo i wouldn't even consider both.
Great review mostly because I wanted to know whether you guys would include reliability and resale values. You did, making it a much fairer comparison.
This was close and I figured it would be, both are great cars. For me Camry all the way. I like the design just a touch more. Side note: that twist-shifter in the Hyundai is ridiculous. Ugly too
Hyundai is just playing with fire going up against Japanese cars with their similar price range and with their Genesis. They need to be 4-5k cheaper than their rivals for really anyone to really consider their vehicles. They are just not as reliable and with luxury segments in the same price range there's no way you'd choose this over a BMW, Mercedes, Lexus etc. I honestly don't even know how they're still in business. I guess if you're leasing it short term it doesn't really matter, but keeping it long term ....
Along time luxury German car owner here. I recently chose the Genesis over any German manufacturer. More features, better styling, better warranty, better price, and dare I say better interior. The driving dynamics of Genesis is 90% of the Germans. I know many Genesis owners who were previous German brand loyalists.
I respect Hyundai for making a value packed car but that’s only part of making a car Toyota just is so much better it can be sporty or luxurious depending on what trim you get it’s got better style reliability resale value and you can’t go wrong with the last 2
@@austin.2716 the 8th gen is the best Camry they ever made from the looks to the interior to the way it drives. When you pair it with the v6 the refinement and quietness goes to near luxury car levels
@@naveenthemachine No doubt the 8th gen is great, especially with the V6. I’m not saying it’s bad, it’s great. However, I find the fact that the 9th gen is more like a heavy refresh than an all new gen, yet you claim it’s a mess. And I mean, kind of unfair to compare a V6 to a hybrid. Compare hybrid to hybrid and to me, the 9th gen is an improvement overall. Looks are subjective and I was opposed to it at first but it’s grown on me and I don’t hate it anymore (except for the Honda Accord looking taillights). The rest, well reviewers seem to say it’s still an improvement over the 8th gen hybrid.
The Sonota has a longer warranty because you will need it, five year old cars burn oil and catch on fire 😅. You also compared a limited vs a XSE, the XLE is more the luxury version which will ride better but maybe lose a bit on handling. Bottom line if you are looking at a 5-10 year old car no one in their right mind would ever consider the sonota or a Camry end of story!!

Engineering back route here’s why I have my fourth Toyota Camry I’ll probably get a fifth one or Lexus ES I trust Toyota and Honda more than Kia and Hyunday. First of all the the resell value on the Toyota is going to be much better than the resale value of the Hyundai. If you want to buy a Hyundai or a Kia you have to be a first time owner but you can buy a Toyota used It’s just there’s only a $4000 price difference from the Toyota Camry XLe to the base Lexus ES 350 might as well pay a little bit more or with 40,000 you could get a good used luxury Lexus ES 350

No hybrid Sonata for Canada - very odd. They said the Elantra has almost identical space UP FRONT compared to the Accord; and here the Elantra "sizing" is more popular than the Sonata - and I guess the true AWD in the base Sonata (which gets a bunch more features here - leather vented memory seats and so on) is more the client they are using that model for. It is true as Canadians have tended to buy one size smaller for comparable profiles. Interestingly - worth an "I wonder" - the K5 and the Forte were retired here with apparently the K4 replacing BOTH ... humm.
So if I am getting 33 miles per gallon with my camry xse, is there something wrong?
Yes. your right foot is far too heavy lol!
The camry has remote start on the fob as well, just have to press the lock button a few times. You only need a subscription if you want to use the app.
Toyota says the key fob shortcut also expires with your Connected Services trial
@@CarConfections Booo that's a bummer then :(
Sonata for me because it still can be offered as a gas car

Toyota Camry all day
Can you review more mid level models, which the average consumer buys?

@@umpalumpa6565 are y’all not tired of saying the same lies? 😂
You are nuts. I drive both and chose 2025 Camry Hybrid.
i trust Toyota. they are also getting mych better in term of driving pleasure and feeling. nevertheless i wish Toyota makes better interiors in terms of quality and color combinations.
Korean cars are very nice when it comes to color combinations of their interiors.
lot of people who for any reason want to bash Toyota products will always try to write negative comments about them.
nevertheless I believe that Toyota's new generations also are excellent cars and again they are getting much better in terms of driving experience too.
In the real world Sonata can be had for a lower price and lower finance rates as well.
I prefer the Sonata except for its hybrid engine, which tips the scale in favor of Toyota.
Hyundai Sonata!
The Sonata is the better value.
Of course sonata ❤🎉😂
K4 is the true competitor
With engine exploding (V6TT) and catching on fire (3T), transmissions failing (RWD 8spd) I'm not sure how much reliability praise it deserves anymore.
Lol what are you talking about?
Reliability and low maintenance cost is a key factor in this class and Toyota wins hands down
3:53 Hyundai claims 10 years powertrain Warranty, but you are lucky to get it. that could be one of the deepfake.
Who else came to see a brand new Toyota product get brutally swept by a previous generation Hyundai product.
No one.. Just buy what you want.
@@ju4121 solid advice. Might put that as my Facebook bio
Great comparison!
Both cars are awesome can't go wrong with either one. Toyota for reliability 👍

@@DeadofWinter321 I wasn’t even alive in the 90s also I wouldn’t call modern Toyotas/Lexuses mediocre although Toyota does need some time to sort out recalls due to recent radical changes, I wish the N/A engines were here to stay but EPA says no
Camry, easy winner.
Thanks. Good compare. I don't want moon roof at all. Which offers option for regular roof?
Likely the LECamry and possibly the SE Camry.

How bout none of the above boo boo??? Y’all need to do a comparison of the best cars for us big donk having ebony queens cause these cheap cars don’t cradle our cakes right!!!! C’mon now boo boo we need that donk test!!!!!!
Keep in mind coreans will sell you gadgets over quality period
So just buy a chevy
I personally think the Kia K5 GT is one of the sharpest looking sedans for the money. The Sonata is ugly in comparison. For me since the Camry no longer offers the V6 and the Accord no longer offers the 2.0 turbo i wouldn't even consider both.
Great review mostly because I wanted to know whether you guys would include reliability and resale values. You did, making it a much fairer comparison.
This was close and I figured it would be, both are great cars. For me Camry all the way. I like the design just a touch more. Side note: that twist-shifter in the Hyundai is ridiculous. Ugly too
Toyota camry is the only choice 💙💙🌍🇬🇭🇬🇭
Audi is overpricef
I was thinking of getting a Sonata until I heard the news that they are discontinuing it. Not worth it in the long run.
The Camry is a better car ! And reliable
Hyundai is just playing with fire going up against Japanese cars with their similar price range and with their Genesis. They need to be 4-5k cheaper than their rivals for really anyone to really consider their vehicles. They are just not as reliable and with luxury segments in the same price range there's no way you'd choose this over a BMW, Mercedes, Lexus etc. I honestly don't even know how they're still in business. I guess if you're leasing it short term it doesn't really matter, but keeping it long term ....
Along time luxury German car owner here. I recently chose the Genesis over any German manufacturer. More features, better styling, better warranty, better price, and dare I say better interior. The driving dynamics of Genesis is 90% of the Germans. I know many Genesis owners who were previous German brand loyalists.
In all practicality, you’ll spend $4-5k more on a Toyota with equivalent features. You can get better deals on Hyundai.
I respect Hyundai for making a value packed car but that’s only part of making a car Toyota just is so much better it can be sporty or luxurious depending on what trim you get it’s got better style reliability resale value and you can’t go wrong with the last 2
Hi
I'm a biased Toyota fan. I'll choose Toyota before even watching the video 💀😂

Great review. Sonata's steering wheel is ugly. Camry wins for me.
Thanks!
I work at Hyundai but brought a Toyota.
😂😅
Toyota is the only choice here.
Sonata by far. The 9th gen Camry is a mess
I thinks everything in the segment is a great choice but I’d go Accord EX-L personally
Shocked you didn’t use your “marketing skills” here, it’s no secret that Hyundai is paying you to talk smack about Toyotas
Naveen logic- every Toyota that isn’t his Camry sucks 😂
@@austin.2716 the 8th gen is the best Camry they ever made from the looks to the interior to the way it drives. When you pair it with the v6 the refinement and quietness goes to near luxury car levels
@@naveenthemachine No doubt the 8th gen is great, especially with the V6. I’m not saying it’s bad, it’s great. However, I find the fact that the 9th gen is more like a heavy refresh than an all new gen, yet you claim it’s a mess. And I mean, kind of unfair to compare a V6 to a hybrid. Compare hybrid to hybrid and to me, the 9th gen is an improvement overall. Looks are subjective and I was opposed to it at first but it’s grown on me and I don’t hate it anymore (except for the Honda Accord looking taillights). The rest, well reviewers seem to say it’s still an improvement over the 8th gen hybrid.
Toyota is the best
Camry maybe just the tire that makes noise db higher
The Sonota has a longer warranty because you will need it, five year old cars burn oil and catch on fire 😅. You also compared a limited vs a XSE, the XLE is more the luxury version which will ride better but maybe lose a bit on handling. Bottom line if you are looking at a 5-10 year old car no one in their right mind would ever consider the sonota or a Camry end of story!!
Camry looks much better imo, plus Toyota relibability. I'd probably go with a 2025 Civic though if I was in the market for a new vehicle right now.
I’ll take a new Accord over either one of these but everything in the non-luxury midsize sedan is a great choice
What’s your reason for the accord? I’m considering all 3
@@CincyMatt513 they’re all fantastic and I highly recomend them all but my reason for preferring the Accord comes down to looks
@CarGeek360 Dam, it looks like u and naveen like the new accord looks, while many, including myself, dislike the new look
@@normanli7085I agree with you. In passing it definitely looks underwhelming at best.
@@normanli7085 idk what he likes/dislikes, he gets paid by other car companies to hate on Toyota/Lexus, I like the way the new Accord looks but respect your opinion
Engineering back route here’s why I have my fourth Toyota Camry I’ll probably get a fifth one or Lexus ES I trust Toyota and Honda more than Kia and Hyunday. First of all the the resell value on the Toyota is going to be much better than the resale value of the Hyundai. If you want to buy a Hyundai or a Kia you have to be a first time owner but you can buy a Toyota used
It’s just there’s only a $4000 price difference from the Toyota Camry XLe to the base Lexus ES 350 might as well pay a little bit more or with 40,000 you could get a good used luxury Lexus ES 350
Honda Accord?
I don’t trust the sonata to be at 53 db. That is quieter than a Rolls Royce.
They literally did the test right in front of you.
Hyundia is NO WAY even close to Toyota . A 7 or 8 year old Hyundia is Worth almost Nothing.
