Toyota Camry vs. Honda Accord
Both are great-looking midsize sedans. But when you line them up on safety, fuel economy, foul-weather traction, and what's actually included, the 2026 Camry pulls ahead — standard.
The Camry advantage, point by point
Every claim below is based on published 2026 manufacturer specs and independent IIHS ratings.
Safer, by the highest standard
The 2026 Camry earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ — the institute's highest award. The 2026 Accord earned Top Safety Pick, the base tier.1
Hybrid efficiency, standard
Every 2026 Camry is a hybrid — an EPA-estimated 51 MPG combined. To beat the base Accord's 32 MPG, you'd have to pay extra for the Accord Hybrid.2
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
Standard on every 2026 Camry: Pre-Collision with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Proactive Driving Assist.3
Twice the included maintenance
ToyotaCare covers 2 years / 25,000 miles of no-cost scheduled maintenance plus roadside assistance — double the duration of the Accord's 1-year / 12,000-mile included plan.4
Available All-Wheel Drive — something the Accord simply doesn't offer
Rain, sleet, ice, and snow are part of life here. The 2026 Camry is available with electronic on-demand all-wheel drive for added traction and confidence when the roads turn. The 2026 Honda Accord is front-wheel drive only — AWD isn't available on any trim.5
