Toyota Camry vs. Honda Accord vs. Hyundai Sonata: Midsize Hybrid Sedans Comparison Test

The midsize sedan segment just got a shakeup: The redesigned Toyota Camry and all but two trims of the new Honda Accord have gone hybrid-only, and there’s a heavily refreshed Hyundai Sonata hoping to stand its ground. In this video, Edmunds’ Clint Simone puts all three head-to-head-to-head in our Midsize Hybrid Sedans comparison test!

Do you think Toyota made the right move making the Camry hybrid-only? Let us know what you think in the comments.

feels more like a camry ad than a comparison

This comparison highlights a common mistake by auto journalists: their selfish obsession with testing the top trims. There should've been a review of the mid-level volume trims (Sonata SEL vs Camry LE/SE vs Accord EX-L) which are more attainable for those of us interested in hybrids. I'd even bet they would've been ranked differently.

Accord = Roomy and comfort
Sonata = More tech.features
Camry = Reliability

I'm 5 minutes into the video and twice now I've thought to myself 'maybe they should assign this guy to review sports cars'...

At least you can find the Sonata in dealerships and without massive markups.

I’m not even looking to buy a car, but Clint was so engaging, I watched the entire video. You’ve got genuine talent, Clint. If and when I am in the market for a car, I will make a point of looking for your videos.

I like this guy for Edmunds - great review.

[chloeadkins]

One of the best reviews I’ve seen Edmund’s do so far!! Clint is such a fun reviewer to watch. Maybe I need to buy a Camry???

Have a 2024 gas sonata and so far it's been exceptional on the ride quality

[kdsewell]

Great job, great review! And you look tall in videos :-)

[DexLewis-rbsb]

Thank you Edmunds for not being biased. This is a great review for actually buyers (not just fanboys) to get a perspective of each vehicle.

A lot of people aren't thrilled with the new Accord's appearance, but personally, I like it a lot. Reminds me of Audi A4, A5, A6 understatement. To me, it is elegant and appealing. Some commenters are ridiculing discussion of acceleration and handling in a hybrid review. Why? Just because we want to save at the pump and help the environment doesn’t mean we stop caring about having FUN FUN FUN.🎉

You made my tablet search for Taco Bell.

Great review and fair from everything I seen. I also recently drove the new Camry and the best thing is how seamless electric to gas is. That is HUGE! I like the looks much more than either of the other choices too. Now, I just need to be able to find one!

You sold me with the body roll description.

[brenttitus]

Have the same Accord Touring in this video! Absolutely love it and a pleasure to drive every single time! 👍

My 2020 hybrid sonata had wireless carplay via an update

With the fastback rooflines and small trunk openings and having to reach deep inside to get something, I'm sad that none of these are offered as 5-door/hatchbacks.

This video was very well done. Quick and informative and not boring at all. Kudos!
