White Toyota CamryCamry vs Accord: Customizing Your Car

While the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord each attract a lot of drivers, that doesn’t mean you have to leave the lot with the same vehicle as everyone else. Through an assortment of trim levels, you can customize your sedan to feature the styling, technology, and performance that you want.

With the Honda Accord, you can select between six unique trims. The base option is called the LX and at the top of the trim lineup is the Touring. For Toyota, the Camry has twice as many available trims.

Not only do the 12 variations of the Camry allow you to create a personalized model, there are also a host of accessories and packages you can opt for. The base Camry is called the L, while just a few other notable trims include the SE Nightshade Edition and the Hybrid XLE.

Toyota Camry vs Honda Accord: Performance

Toyota ensures your sedan has enough juice to accomplish any maneuver on the open road. The 2020 Camry offers powerful 4-cylinder and V6 engines. Choosing one depends on your lifestyle:

  • 2.5L Dynamic Force 4-Cylinder Engine: as much as 206 horsepower
  • 3.5L V6 DOHC 24-Valve Engine: as much as 301 horsepower

This is an area in which Honda doesn’t excel as much. Their base model’s engine only clocks in at 192 horsepower, while even their top model’s powerplant peaks at 252 horsepower. Both of those numbers are disappointing compared to the Toyota Camry specs that we just mentioned. Reach out with questions!

2020 Toyota Camry SEToyota Camry vs Accord: Safety

Finally, let’s take a look at safety—one of the most important considerations for you and your loved ones.

The 2020 Camry model’s standard Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P) equips the car with some of the most advanced driver-assistive technologies on the market today. Here are some of the most important ones:

  • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/ PD)
  • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
  • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/ SA)
  • Automatic High Beams (AHB)

Luckily, the 2020 Accord model’s standard Honda Sensing® suite includes some comparable technology. For example, you’ll find that their Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) is similar to the 2020 Toyota Camry model’s Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/ PD) that we just mentioned.

Both of these state-of-the-art technologies are able to detect when there’s a possible impending frontal collision with a vehicle up ahead. If the software determines that the collision is unavoidable, it’ll apply automatic braking support to help reduce the damage of the impact. Our experts can tell you lots more about this.
