The Accord's ability after 4 years to still consistently be one of the quickest family sedans while also being the most balanced overall is very impressive.

[@SamCarLegion]

Agreed

[@stephenhendricks103]

The Honda's detuned version of the Civic Type R's engine and its excellent 10 speed transmission are truly impressive. But the new 2.5L turbo in the Korean vehicles and their much improved DCT may well be tweaked to improve its performance in upcoming versions. As for Toyota, the Camry's somewhat old-in-the-tooth naturally aspirated V6 won't shine in this kind of comparison. Of course, Toyota could turbocharge that engine to improve the Camry's performance but that would risk putting a dent (even a minor one) in Toyota's reputation for reliability. And that's something that Toyota is very unlikely to risk.

Many drivers reported that their Honda Accords had engine problems regarding oil consumption. The engines would burn through oil far more rapidly than usual, forcing drivers to replenish their oil too often. Replacing the oil could add up fast, and fixing the actual problem can cost $1,200 or more.

[@pmiahky]

I have been loving my 2020 Accord Sport 2.0T. It’s a real sleeper. The power delivery and the driving dynamics just feel more refined and it all feels more buttoned down than the competitors, IMO. For me that’s more important than some of the tech lacking and less premium materials inside. Not that there is anything really wrong with their interiors.

[@mhkeuns]

Wow! Sonata N-line is impressive. If the driver was more familiar with Sonata, I think the result would have been a complete sweep. Camry and the Accord have always been the top sellers year after year before the SUV craze, but maybe Sonata & K5 will creep into their market-share being equally quality cars, or maybe even better.

[@aaronfreimark7535]

I think the big differences between the Accord and the Camry are the weight and torque placement. I don't mean torque output which I'm guessing is something like 270 lb ft for both, but where in the power band does the max torque come in. If it's something like 4000 rpm for the Camry and 2000 rpm for the Accord, that'll certainly make the Accord quicker. Also, the Accord I'm guessing has to be something like 100lbs to 150lbs lighter. The Camry having 50hp more matters not.

I'm not sure but if the K5 GT consistently outperforms the Sonata N-Line in this particular drag race mission the difference may be Hyundai's decision to lean toward a more premium vibe with a softer launch compared to the KIA's decision to accept more torque steer while emphasizing performance in their GT model. It's noteworthy that the Sonata's greatest advantage was in the rolling start comparison where its larger, stronger 2.5L engine was already engaged.

Dynos don’t mean a thing. One dyno can say 220 another dyno will spit out 270. 1/4 mile trap speed is the best indicator of power and a Camry is not trapping higher than an accord.

[@Tbird761]

Torque is the more important metric here. The naturally aspirated 2GR isn't going to offer the kind of low-RPM torque the turbocharged engines will as these cars rack through gears. Remember, power is a measure of the work being done. It's mathematically derived. Torque is a measure of how hard it's turning, the force applied. HP = (RPM * lb-ft) / 5252. The torque the engine delivers depends on its RPM, and as RPM goes up so to ultimately does power. That engine is putting out way less than 300 HP for most of the time it spends accelerating because the engine isn't spinning fast enough to reach that point except at the very end of each gear before then immediately shifting down again. This sort of race is the domain of forced induction engines and electric motors.

[@mikescallon4288]

Great races! Exactly what I wanted to see. Still trying to negotiate with Kia dealers regarding a new K5 GT as opposed to the GT1 which is about $5K more at close to $37K. The Hyundai sales people were annoying me. Accord is a great car, don't get me wrong, but these are the shiny new objects at the moment. I would not be surprised if Honda and Toyota are watching these and maybe taking some notes for the next generation models coming down the Pike. You are really the only one that is actually comparing all of these cars head to head. I guess Throttlehouse but they never figured out how to launch it correctly, not to mention the sub-zero conditions and a brand new car.

[@mikescallon4288]

@@SamCarLegion So, I did not get the K5 GT. Instead, yesterday I traded my 18 Accord Sport 2.0 for the Sonata Nline. So far, it is fantastic so hopefully that will continue. One thing is definite, the driver assist cruise control is significantly better. The car pretty much drives itself whereas the Accord ping pongs you between lanes before it all together just stops working.

The Kia K5 GT is definitely more consistent than the Sonata N Line! Good race overall. Is this the beginning of the end for V6 engines? 👀

[@stephenhendricks103]

The beginning of the end for V6 engines began some time ago. In this particular case the 2.5L turbo that Hyundai, KIA, and Genesis are offering in at least 7(!) different vehicles appears to be an especially strong win/win with more power and better fuel economy than comparable V6 versions.

[@davidfrancisco3236]

Honda stop long ago

[@mikeharris7261]

No it's not the end for the v6 engine, if u look at the numbers the camry v6 gets just as good of fuel economy as the honda and that's what it's about. Besides toyota uses this v6 in other products.

[@stephenhendricks103]

@@mikeharris7261 I'm not arguing the value of a V6 engine. I'm talking about its market appeal. For example, less than 5% (!) of all Camrys are sold with its naturally aspirated V6. That's a major reason that Toyota doesn't offer AWD with that engine. The appeal of a V6 in a midsize sedan is simply not sufficient to justify the cost of design and production.

Many drivers reported that their Honda Accords had engine problems regarding oil consumption.

Replacing the oil could add up fast, and fixing the actual problem can cost $1,200 or more.
