Toyota Camry vs. Honda Accord in Haverhill, MA

When it comes to the midsize sedan arena, both the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord are regarded as top contenders, and rightfully so. They share many similarities after all. However, Toyota maintains its position at the top of the tier because its model excels in a way its opponent's does not. A comparison of the base level trims of the newest models available - that is, the 2018 Toyota Camry L and the 2017 Honda Accord LX - shows that the former has the upper hand.

• 2.5L Dynamic Force 4-Cylinder engine of the Toyota Camry produces better results, generating up to 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Compare this to the 185 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque generated by the 2.4L In-Line 4 engine on the Honda Accord, and the outcome is clear.
• Fuel economy is the Honda brand's claim to fame, or so most people think. Believe it or not, the Camry can travel as much as 29 city, 41 highway, and 34 combined MPG! In contrast, the Accord provides a driving range of only the 21 city, 33 highway, and 25 combined MPG. The victor is clear.
• The Toyota Camry is better equipped to deliver a more exhilarating driving experience as well. For example, its Direct Shift 8-Speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission will let you transition from gear to gear seamlessly. It even has two more settings than the Honda Accord's standard 6-speed Automatic Transmission!
