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

[@DainLaguna]

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.

[@oneblach]

[@ikaros4203]

[@JADE939]

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.

The Honda hybrid physically connects the gasoline engine to the wheels at Highway speeds for reasons of efficiency. Otherwise there's conversion loss, twice

[@DavidSimpsonJr973]

Correct. I wonder if a V6 in the same setup livens things up and allows it to be put in their larger platforms.

[@tiredconnoisseur]

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.

[@Fadic4]

The engine can also directly provide electricity to the wheels without going to the battery if needed as well.

[@vladdutz20]

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.

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.

[@aprtur]

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.

[@kylelangley8818]

@@aprturI was thinking the same thing.

[@Mark-eu6mc]

@@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.

[@aprtur]

@@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).

[@fifzeppelin]

@@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.

Thank you! I was looking forward to your review between Camry Hybrid and Accord Hybrid. Your review is all about the no fluff (utility focus)

[@joseeduardo4327]

Thanks for the info about privacy and data collection. Recently saw Breaking Points vid about ins companies and car manufacturers sharing and selling data

[@rondail5675]

Damn good comparison!

[@joebrito2066]

Great review gentlemen!

[@_Makanko_]

Very high quality informative video Mark!. I'd love a similar one on your personal top picks for hatchbacks.

[@ForeverDownByLaw]

Respect both brands, and both are great products, but I'm team Honda based on personal experience.

[@JorgeRiverosTales]

Such a well done video.

[@Racher081]

fantastic video great detail and analysis

[@Viralityoflife]

I do happen to like the Bridgestones I just got on my new car. Never tried them before and yet the mileage is good, ride is pretty good, handling is good, and it lasts a long ass time. Good recommendation guys 👍🏻

[@FlyinGato]

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

[@trumpet12345]

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.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

​@@trumpet12345why is that bad the Taurus was handsome and mature....

[@miniaddict4534]

It’s funny to see Honda dropped the lobster claw tail lights but Toyota adopted them.

[@robertorazo4694]

​@@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

[@ShaiyanHossain]

@@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

[@TheDevilishHusky]

2023 Accord Hybrid EX-L owner here. Best purchase I've ever made. The way the transmission works is amazing. Wish there was a plug-in variant.

[@otomoravec1732]

Congrats buddy, the car is great. There is no tranny, its just the e-motor driving the wheels, thats why its sooo smooth.

[@Marc-vl9id]

Why does plug in variant exist?

[@xelawash]

Another first-class video! 💪👊

[@Mealsandwheels]

Thank you for a real world comparison 90% of us will actually consider. I was hedging for the Camry but i wasnt sure. Thanks!

[@Accost2u]

Sorry but Honda is totally out of the question for me. Them selling your data to insurance companies on your driving metrics is a total violation that I’m not interested in ever dealing with.

[@littlestinker9716]

Toyota happily sells your driving data, too, if you don't opt out on the infotainment system or if you use the phone app.

[@sappyjohnson]

LOL. Toyota does the same thing

[@davewilson7602]

While I agree it’s horrible Toyota and every other car company does that. They all do it and they all sell it to the same people

[@tgoods44]

Isn't it funny how they tell you that you have a choice? If you try to find a vehicle that doesn't sell your data, you can't.

[@JDMSwervo2001]

They’re all doing it. Another reason to buy older vehicles while you still can

[@matthewt3586]

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.

[@TermlessHGW]

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.

[@harrytej]

@@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 ?

[@akapeeks]

The transition into the Accord drive segment made my day 😂

[@nathangmyrek7443]

The steering feel comment… “direct and lifeless” sums up the cars perfectly.

[@brenttitus2134]

The better comparison would have been with the Accord Touring. Having a fully loaded XLE was not fair against the Sport-L.

[@Mark-eu6mc]

The accord hybrid touring is $39k. Not sure that’s a fair comparison.

[@brenttitus2134]

@@Mark-eu6mc That Camry XLE they used is $40k+. It was fully optioned out.

[@Mark-eu6mc]

@@brenttitus2134 I stand corrected (yikes that’s a lot of options.. XLE MSRP starts at $35k). But it was an availability issue; no Touring trims were available for filming.

[@michaelvella8511]

I'll take a spare tire over slightly mire trunk space any day of the week. Love that Toyota are still including them

My takeaway from this video is bar donuts are called long johns in the midwest.

[@ssj_shep]

I love how Jack brings out the goofy side of Mark ahahaha

[@mikebingham9700]

Oh, goofy, goofy....

[@catherinejacobs4801]

Thank you so much for this comparison video. I will be purchasing a new sedan in December and need help choosing between the two vehicles.

[@HiepVo31]

Forget everything else, this face off is the highlight of my week

[@martifilipponi1024]

While I think that the Accord has a 20 year old digital display I do however like the interior, I like its understated class. Everyone is doing that bold contrast stitching, and I feel the camera is over the top with it..they tried to over glitch up a family Camry .

[@domdrty]

People need to take the privacy issues with Honda more seriously because it can negatively impact their insurance.

[@labradachig1976]

We need more videos like this. Please.

[@francoispanneton609]

Best review!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@levanceland]

7:09 you would think that with all the cars released with infotainment systems throughout a decade, Toyota would know by now what users want to access by now.

Good info on how Toyota handles your private information and usage. I’ve never seen anyone do a technical analysis of the JBL systems. JBL is not a Mark Levinson system but I like how it sounds on my Avalon with 14 speakers and 1200 W amp.
