Video Summary
The Toyota Camry and Honda Accord take two different approaches to the midsize sedan. Every 2026 Camry is a hybrid, with available all-wheel drive, while the 2026 Accord offers a gas engine or a hybrid, and every Accord is front-wheel drive. Front-wheel-drive Camry models make 225 net combined horsepower. Honda rates the Accord at 192 horsepower for its gas engine and 204 for its hybrid system, though hybrid system output and a gas engine's rating measure different things. On fuel economy, the Camry LE with front-wheel drive is EPA-rated at 51 mpg combined, the Accord EX-L Hybrid at 48 combined, and the gas Accord LX at 32, so compare exact versions. The Accord has the bigger trunk on paper at 16.7 cubic feet, versus 15.1 for the Camry. Both come standard with a driver-assist suite: Toyota Safety Sense on the Camry and Honda Sensing on the Accord, with features that differ by model. If you want a hybrid on every trim or available all-wheel drive, look at the Camry; for a gas-only option or the most trunk space on paper, the Accord deserves a look.
