2025 Honda Accord vs 2025 Toyota Camry | Which One Is The Best Hybrid Sedan?

[@syusi]

I just bought an Accord Hybrid EXL after considering the Camry. The Honda has much more rear seat legroom. It also has a more refined interior, I feel. Plus, Toyota dealers have a ridiculous mark up over list. I love that Camry has a spare tire, but I was able to buy a donut spare for the Accord that fits in the existing wheel well. As for styling, I actually like the Accord’s lines. But how it presents to the outside world is the least of my concerns. It drives phenomenally, has great regenerative braking (made even more engaging when using the paddles), and is smooth and quiet. I think it might be the nicest all around car I’ve owned since my 1973 BMW 2002. Believe it or not, it’s fun.

[@jeretso]

Good idea buying spare. Nice to know it fits existing compartment

[@jameswillett7186]

All of what you said might be true but it's also true that the Camry is going to be more reliable than the Honda Accord.

[@chuckechezona4053]

Toyota Camry takes the win, the car got good fuel economy, decent price and the SE and XSE trim are the best trims to buy.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The XSE is a solid choice for sure!

[@ryanfgrantjr3009]

Camry much better looking car in this latest model, i think anyway. I do love the leather provided in Honda EXL's

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah the Camry is a sharp car! You need the XSE to get real leather. However the Accord is a bit softer feeling and still has a more premium interior

[@ryanfgrantjr3009]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks, i wasn't sure what an XSE was until now

[@Paixse]

The Camry looks better ❤

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It does!

[@timvibes]

Camry has better low end torque and is more fun to drive. My pick.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad that's what you'll enjoy!

[@boskobear]

Honda has more torque at 247ft./lbs & is faster 0-60. Accord interior is way better. Honda is my pick.

Got the 23 EX-L Accord Hybrid, get 51.5 miles a gallon. Love the simple body style and amazing interior

[@dianewilson7415]

I have a 2023 Accord EX-L, virtually identical to 2025 model. I really appreciate the Accord’s interior design and the larger screen. The hybrid integration is very smooth, and there’s plenty of power. No complaints at all.

[@a32tl]

My dad just bought a ‘25 Accord Hybrid Touring. The wheels on it are so much better looking than on the EX-L trim in this video. I will concede that the Accord’s exterior styling is bland but the interior is great. I’ve only driven his car briefly but it is very nice to drive. The car is exceptionally roomy, very comfortable and really a great driving car.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I agree. Nice car overall with a great interior and ride. Just wish they made it more stylish. Camry looks so good!

[@goodsoccerkid9999]

The audiences for people buying the EX-L and Touring are a little different. The EX-L gives better fuel economy with the smaller wheel size (17s) and a good blend of options at the price

[@GrantLong-x8r]

Personally, I am planning to buy the Camry next year. Coming from a 2010 Toyota Yaris. I currently get 38-39 mpg, so it will be a little bit of an upgrade for me! 😊 I am not a fan of the front/back of the accord, I really like the sporty look of the Camry this year. I had considered both, but the sporty look of the Camry was what really pushed it over the edge for me

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I can see that! I like driving the Accord. But it has no exterior style for sure. You'll really enjoy the upgrade!

[@aleks1897]

I'd love like Accord better and I think the interior looks much cleaner. But the exterior is so bland and boring that Camry is a choice for me.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I agree. It drives great and has plenty of room. Just looks more like a generic sedan you'd see in a video game

[@rogerh2694]

Accord seriously needs a refresh for 2026

[@marcelelanjian8418]

camry has that large vaccum cleaner front end , yet it is still way better looking then the honda ... and i have a 2013 v6 accord that i still love !!

[@NorthernComfort-p9u]

I personally don't like the huge grill in the front. Meanwhile, I do wish Honda has slightly more sharp styling. I am sure there will be many agree with me on this subject. Interior is for driver; exterior is for other driver.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I like the XSE grill the best with the cheese grater look. Not everyone likes it tho. But yeah the Accord could really use just a bit of style. Very generic. Otherwise the interior is great and it drives nice

[@amill1563]

I think the best head to head hybrid comparo would be Honda Civic Sport Touring hybrid vs. Toyota Camry of a similar price.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Possibly. The Corolla competes with the Civic tho

[@amill1563]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Not at that level. The Civic at over 33k in top trim. The Camry is a better comparo even though different sizes.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Good point. Would be an interesting one. Most of the Hondas on the lot have a stop sale. So I need to wait till a new batch comes in

[@goldenalbatross9462]

The civic is pretty big now so I’d argue you can maybe start pumping it in with both the Camry and accord On the driver seat, there’s barely any size difference between the civic and accord Another things is that the base Integra isn’t that far in price from a top trim civic I personally would like to see that comparison of top trim economy vs base trim luxury

[@amill1563]

@ Glad you agree

[@nwmusic2010]

Honda needs to catch up in exterior design. Interior design is a notch above most other manufacturers

[@tadeuszlufik]

I prefer Accords looks only the highest trim levels and it is a bit more spacious but the hybrid drivetrain experience in the Toyota feels better to me - so for day-to-day, Id want the Camry. Also, I find it a little shameful that while the Accord has the largest backseat space and most legroom it has less head clearance unless you purposely slouch. If you are under 5'10 its a non issue but otherwise its annoying to have your head graze the ceiling in an otherwise large car (all for the at swoopy look). And oddly, the Honda felt less engaging in my test drive of the highest trim model. If Accord is Vanilla, Camry is Vanilla Bean.

[@Penelyn]

Thank you for doing this review. Both look good, More for Accord quality, simplicity, luxury interior, but how about reliability and spare tire for this car 2025? If only they can make similar style 2014 Honda accord EXL, fully loaded is already a nice car for me.

[@prabhatsinghr]

That CVT on the new 2025 Camry is such a downgrade and not expected of Toyota to go down this path. I’m glad I got my 2022 Camry 3.5 v6 Sport before they discontinued the v6 line of engines.

[@Paixse]

I love your videos man 🙏

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks! Glad you like them!

[@andyboulais8754]

I like the accord better. Have had a few Toyotas recently and that all had bad paint and interior quality issues. Won’t go back until they fix these problems. They are great cars. Just feel Honda is a little more premium and better put together on the inside.

[@yoanfuentes7060]

None in that segment has the precision, the magnificent driving and the quality almost similar to luxury cars that Honda provides, the only thing Toyota wins is in the mpg, the rest is plastic and poor driving quality.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The Accord does drive very good. Camry looks great tho and has very nice specs available and a seamless hybrid system. Interior is just a bit plastic

[@devious100dd]

Honda wants to charge more for less goodies than the Camry and the front looks like something out of the 90s boring

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Seems to have more features and options tho than the Camry. But the styling is my biggest gripe with it

[@jeffjo8732]

Honda includes all the "goodies" in the MSRP for the trim. Toyota makes them "available" for extra $$$$.

[@swphilly72lot]

Looks go to Camry!! MPG Camry! Interior: Like the Infotainment more in the Accord! Comfort and Drive will be Accord! I would pick performance over outside look!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah it's a toss up! Accord is just so boring looking lol

[@jeffjo8732]

Camry looks are more polarizing - I find that grille ugly. But like you, I don't see the car while I drive. MPG actually depends on wheel size: 16" Camry LE, 51/53/50 CMB/CTY/HWY 17" Accord EX-L, 48/51/44 18" Camry SE, 47/48/47 19" Accord Sport, 46/41/41 Plus, the Accord is actually 7% larger inside. The Civic Sport is essentially the same size (1 ft^3 less) as the Camry, and on the same 18" wheels. It gets 50/47/49.

[@jeretso]

So basically Camry only building Hybrids saves the customer thousands of dollars. Accord is longer but Id rather get the Civic Hatchback.

[@genaroalvaradomendoza144]

Great video my only critic is essentially for both cars and the overall car manufactuirng industry as they all used the same stupid and boring color interiors dark gray to black it wont matter whihc brand; I think car manufacturers are stupid for going away from matching interior colors with exterior colors, so it does not matter whihc car color you get on the exterior, regardless on the interior will come with the same stupid color interior. And it seems that the current car buyer doesn't even care.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The Camry you can get a red leather interior which is pretty nice. Most people prefer black, gray or beige. Red and Blue are the main colors we'll see outside of greyscale and brown colors

[@jackbn9353]

When comparing two items, NEITHER is best. One may be better.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

So then which one is the best choice for you? Both words can be used to describe what you may think of these cars

[@jeffjo8732]

"Better" is a comparative. It compares two things that are of the same kind. "Best" is a superlative. It makes the comparison against all other things of that kind, individually. Even if "all" is zero or one. What you are confused about, is that "better" can't be used with three things, but "best" can since the number is irrelevant.

[@anthonynicholich9654]

Toyota Camry definitely has more durable better longer lasting transmission and engine is good too so Toyota Camry is a better car.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I can see that. Accord has a nicer ride tho and interior. So it's a hard choice!

[@jeffjo8732]

Honda's hybrids with this system get better reliability ratings from KBB and JDPower. They even have fewer clutch failures (the Toyota has a permanently-applied clutch built into the flywheel).

[@davidgonzalez3562]

New Honda ecvt is bullet proof and much better than Toyota. And older Honda cvt real world statistics shows a different scenario vs comments. I trade the Gand Highlander Small 4 Cyl Turbo Hybrid and got the Honda Pilot V6 N/A 10 speed transmission. No point of comparison, smooth, pleasant and powerful drive. Yes, I prefer 19 mpg + Cero Stress and Double Engine Life. I had several Toyotas and I’m so Happy with Honda.

[@boskobear]

Looks like Camry tried copying Honda with that decorative piece on the dash which integrates vents. Accord looks way better. Camry build quality is very bad now days on interior. Watch Sam Car Legion compare these 2, the Camry interior basically broke apart. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3zJoYqJd792fKc&pp=ygUeU2FtIGNhciBsZWdpb24gYWNjb3JkIHZzIGNhbXJ5

[@andyboulais8754]

I agree. I have had several Toyotas including a 2021 Camry,and a 22 4Runner. They suffer from bad paint quality massive swirls and scratch marks and I hand wash all my cars with care. The accord looks much better. I will never go back to Toyota unless they fix their quality.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The dash is much different then the Accord tho with how Honda did the mesh style vs the trim material in the Toyota. I do feel the Honda has a higher quality interior. But I like the Toyota style and more seamless hybrid integration

[@MrShon_20720]

I just brought the 2025 Camry after considering the Accord. I’m very pleased with my decision 💯✔️

[@jeffjo8732]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Camry SE compares almost one-to-one with the Civic Sport Hybrid. Almost the exact same space, and same tires. (Wheels and tires are why different trims of the Camry and Accord have different mpg.) The Civic is cheaper, faster, and gets better mpg.

[@jeffjo8732]

The Accord does not have a CVT transmission. They also call it "eCVT", but it is nothing like the Camry's. A better name would be "virtual CVT." When cruising at highway speeds, it is a single-gear (overdrive) direct drive transmission. RPM=37*MPH. Any other time, the engine does not drive the wheels at all. It is an EV; not a Battery EV, like a Tesla, but a Battery+Generator EV. Since the engine drives only a generator, there is no relationship between its speed and the car's speed. You can calculate the ratio, and it does vary continuously, but it is meaningless.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Interesting. Drove very smooth for sure
