![]() There’s plenty of room to stretch your legs, and the backrest is positioned at a comfortable angle. Rear-seat comfort: There’s limo-like space and comfort in the Accord, which has a backseat that’s so stunningly large, it makes you wonder why someone would need a full-size sedan. The seat bolsters do a good job keeping you in place in fast corners while not feeling overly confining in everyday driving. The Goodįront-seat comfort: The Accord’s seats are plusher and cushier than the Camry’s, which is surprising considering it’s the more sport-oriented of the two sedans. The Accord Hybrid wasn’t as well equipped as the Camry Hybrid, however, and it got lower scores for safety and driver-assist features, but its lower price helped it in our value assessment. With its roomy, comfortable and well-made interior, the Accord Hybrid nearly swept the stationary tests we judged it on, coming up short to the Camry Hybrid only in our outward-visibility assessment and getting the same score as the Toyota for in-cabin storage. Category wins: Powertrain, handling, front-seat comfort, rear-seat comfort, vehicle user interface, interior quality, in-cabin storage, cargo volume, value.Powertrain: 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motor make 204 horsepower total front-wheel drive.The verdict: The Accord Hybrid’s powertrain refinement, interior space and comfort, and modern, usable tech features were more than enough to make up for its firm ride quality and at-times-loud interior, putting it ahead of the Camry Hybrid in this test.Ģ023 Honda Accord Hybrid Sport-L | photo by Melissa Klauda Our Test Vehicle 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid Sport-L, 536 points (out of a possible 700) All of the categories were worth 20 points, except for real-world fuel economy and as-tested value, which were worth 120 and 60 points, respectively, to put extra emphasis on those areas that we think are important in this class. The below chart shows how the cars performed in each category, and there are more details on where they excelled - and where they came up short - in the vehicle-specific sections that follow. The results were close, with just 15 points separating the two after all the categories had been tallied. ![]() We rated each sedan’s driving manners on the streets and highways of suburban Chicago, took the cars on a 200-mile drive route to assess real-world fuel economy, measured their trunk space, checked child-safety seat fitment, assessed safety and driver-assist features and scored their value. Our test vehicles for this head-to-head comparison were a 2023 Accord Hybrid Sport-L, which had an as-tested price of $35,425 (all prices include destination), and a 2023 Camry Hybrid XLE, which was $40,232. 2023 Toyota Camry Hybrid: Which Gets Better Real-World Gas Mileage? With the launch of the Accord Hybrid, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to put it up against longtime hybrid-maker Toyota and its Camry Hybrid. The Accord was fully redesigned for 2023 with new exterior and interior styling, more tech features and a hybrid-heavy lineup, where four of the six available trim levels are powered by a new, more powerful version of Honda’s gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain. SUVs and pickup trucks increasingly rule the road, but we know some people still prefer sedans, and the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are perennial heavyweights in a class that seems to get smaller by the year.
