2 Answers
The differences between the Camry and the Accord are: 1. Different engine displacements: The Camry has engine displacements of 2.0L and 2.5L; the Accord has engine displacements of 1.5T and 2.0T. 2. Different body dimensions: The Camry's body length, width, and height are 4885mm, 1840mm, and 1455mm respectively; the Accord's body length, width, and height are 4893mm, 1862mm, and 1449mm respectively. Both the Camry and the Accord feature a four-door, five-seater sedan body structure, a MacPherson strut independent front suspension, and an electronic continuously variable transmission.
Personally, I think the main differences between the Camry and Accord lie in driving performance. The Accord feels more responsive when accelerating, with quicker starts and overtaking, thanks to its sportier tuning of the 1.5T engine and firmer steering feedback. The Camry, on the other hand, is much smoother—its hybrid version is fuel-efficient and quiet, offering superior comfort in city traffic jams. Both are mid-size sedans, but fuel consumption differs: the Accord averages around 8L, while the Camry Hybrid can go as low as 5L, saving a lot on costs. The Accord's handling suits younger drivers better, feeling stable in corners but slightly bumpy on rough roads. The Camry's softer suspension ensures rear passengers won't get carsick. Overall, if you prioritize spirited driving, the Accord is a great choice; otherwise, the Camry fits daily commuting better.
