2025 Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry vs Hyundai Sonata vs Subaru Legacy

Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry vs. Hyundai Sonata vs Subaru Legacy - Germain Honda of College Hills

A longtime favorite around the world, the Honda Accord fairly defines the midsize sedan. Thanks to a reputation for being incredibly reliable and fuel-efficient, the Accord continues to rake in awards and loyal fans. But the Accord is hardly the only midsize sedan on the market, so how does the competition measure up? Germain Honda of College Hills has put together a comparison guide to answer this question. We think you’ll find it useful.

First up against the Honda Accord Hybrid is its longtime rival, the Toyota Camry. Since both of these cars now have extensive hybrid trim options, we’re going to compare the base hybrid trims of both. To start off, the Camry seems to have a small price advantage but a closer look shows that a lower price isn’t necessarily a better deal. Power and fuel economy numbers are very close, so we’re focusing on equipment and value for money. Probably one of the first things you’ll notice looking at the Camry LE Hybrid is the small wheels, which lack the premium look of those fitted to the Accord Hybrid. Compared to the 19-inch wheels on the Accord Sport Hybrid, the Camry’s have a definite cheap look to them.

Turning our attention to the interior of these cars, you’re likely to notice the large 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen of the Honda Accord Hybrid. On top of this, there is a 10.2-inch driver information display that takes the place of the analog gauge cluster. These screens are 8 inches and 7 inches, respectively, in the Camry. That means the Accord Hybrid infotainment system is easier to see and operate and the gauge cluster has customization options that simply can’t be implemented in the Camry. The Accord Hybrid also has more speakers for a superior in-vehicle listening experience. With a lot of cars that are offered in both conventional and hybrid forms, the hybrid drivetrains come with the sacrifice of a certain amount of interior or trunk space. This isn’t a problem for the Accord Hybrid and a look at the trunk volume and rear legroom shows that the Camry still suffers from this problem. Lastly, the Camry comes with 2 years of emergency roadside assistance included and while this is still more than a lot of vehicles, it’s certainly not more than the 3 years that come with the Accord Hybrid.


Honda Accord VS Hyundai Sonata

Honda Accord Hyundai Sonata
2025 Honda Accord LX VS 2025 Hyundai Sonata SE
$28,295 MSRP (not including destination charges)* $26,650
192 HP / 192 LB-FT TQ ✓ Horsepower / Torque 191 HP / 181 LB-FT TQ
2✓ 12V DC Power Outlets 1
Standard ✓ Traffic Sign Recognition Not Available
Standard ✓ Integrated Garage Door Opener Not Available
40.8 inches ✓ Rear Legroom 34.8 inches
Standard ✓ Capless Fueling System Not Available
Standard ✓ Interior Ambient Lighting Requires Higher Trim Level
Automatic ✓ Climate Control System Manual
17-inch ✓ Wheel Size 16-inch
40.8 inches ✓ Rear Legroom 34.8 inches
16.7 cubic feet ✓ Trunk Cargo Volume 16.0 cubic feet

In our second matchup, we’ll see exactly how the Hyundai Sonata measures up to the proven Honda Accord. Despite a lower starting price comparing base trim levels, a closer look reveals plenty of advantages for the Accord. Greater horsepower and torque means that you’ll enjoy a more engaging experience behind the wheel. Convenience features like 2 12V DC power outlets, a capless fueling system, and an integrated garage door opener are three examples of amenities not found on the Sonata.

Similarly, traffic sign recognition capabilities help you stay safe and informed behind the wheel of the Accord. Hyundai shoppers will have to shell out extra cash for a higher trim level in order to receive an automatic climate control system, interior ambient lighting, and larger alloy wheels that are standard features on the Accord. Finally, significantly more rear legroom and a larger trunk cargo capacity prove that the Honda Accord is the better choice than the Hyundai Sonata.


Honda Accord VS Subaru Legacy

Honda Accord Subaru Legacy
2025 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid VS 2025 Subaru Legacy Limited
$33,655 MSRP (excluding destination charges)* $34,005
204 ✓ Horsepower 182
46 / 41 / 44 ✓ Fuel Economy (city / highway / combined)** 27 / 35 / 30
12.3 inches ✓ Infotainment Touchscreen Size 11.6 inches
Standard ✓ Active Noise Cancelation Not Available
16.7 cubic feet ✓ Trunk Space 15.1 cubic feet
19-inch ✓ Wheels 18-inch
Standard ✓ Moonroof Optional
Digital, customizable ✓ Gauges Analog

Last up is the Subaru Legacy and we’re comparing the two most similarly-priced trims. For a slightly lower price, the Honda Accord Hybrid comes with a hybrid drivetrain that is both more powerful and more efficient than the one in the Subaru. Looking at the rest of the car, we can see that there are a number of areas where the Accord Hybrid is offering that extra bit more for a lower price. The Accord Hybrid has bigger wheels, a bigger infotainment touchscreen, and more trunk space.

There are several additional features that either cost extra on the Legacy or simply aren’t available at all. The power moonroof that comes standard on the Accord Hybrid costs extra on the Legacy. You’ll notice a quieter interior on the Accord Hybrid too thanks to the active noise cancelation that isn’t offered on the Legacy. In place of the old-fashioned analog gages, the Accord Hybrid has a fully customizable digital driver information display while Legacy owners will have to be content with the layout that Subaru chose for them.
