 What is up you guys welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel I am Gold Pony and with us here is the new 2020 Honda Accord and so I am finishing up my review with and you guys will already be able to see it on the channel at the time of this particular video coming out. So as you guys probably already know I have recently also reviewed the 2020 Toyota Camry. These two cars have been at war so to speak for quite a while now and they are both top sellers and quite honestly they are both very solid picks and they are quite similar as well in several areas however this particular video is going to point out 10 of the key differences between this 2020 Honda Accord and the 2020 Toyota Camry I recently reviewed. Hope this helps you guys make a decision if you were considering these two and I'm quite excited to see who actually wins this competition and I will give you a clear winner at the end of this video so be sure to stick around until the end and let's go ahead and get started with our number 10. Alright so starting with number 10 and working backwards the first difference between the 2020 Camry and 2020 Accord of course is the pricing and so the Accord is going to start at the base trim level at $23,870 that is for the LX $36,100 for the touring on the other hand Camry is going to start at $24,295 for the L $35,000 even for the XS EV6 that is the top trim level there so if you were looking for a more inexpensive option the Accord does take that prize that is going to be slightly not a whole lot of a difference there but slightly less expensive than the 2020 Camry however when it comes to the top of the line option if you were planning on going all out Camry is going to be slightly less expensive than the completely topped out 2020 Accord so for this first comparison I'm going to have to call this one a tie and let's move on to number nine. Number nine comparison is going to be reliability according to consumer reports this is going to be the 2018 ratings because both actually the 2019 and 2020 ratings are not quite out but there's not too much of a difference between the cars now and what they were two years ago so as far as reliability goes according to consumer reports the Accord is going to score an average reliability rating the Camry is going to score an above average reliability rating so therefore Camry wins this one one to nothing Camry. Moving on to our number eight difference being the rear legroom and so if you're looking for a sedan there's a good possibility that you may have rear passengers so therefore this one is going to be important when it comes to the rear legroom of the 2020 Honda Accord that is going to come in at 40.4 inches 2020 Camry comes in an even 38 inches so therefore Accord does offer a little bit more legroom I also did want to mention with the Accord you do have the available rear heated seat option whereas you do not have that with the 2020 Camry as well so this one is definitely a clear winner as well as far as the rear passenger seats and rear legroom goes I am going to have to give this one of course to the 2020 Honda Accord putting our score at one to one. Moving on to number seven being the power differences Honda Accord base engine is a 1.5 liter turbo four cylinder 192 horsepower 192 pound feet of torque Camry gives you a 2.5 liter naturally aspirated four cylinder big difference there between the two 203 horsepower 184 pound feet of torque when it comes to the base engines the 2020 models that I drove were both the base engine in the Camry and the Accord Camry felt slightly quicker but really there isn't much of a difference between the base power plants I think the Camry felt slightly quicker because it is a naturally aspirated engine not that the 1.5 liter turbo in the Accord has any kind of turbo lag but naturally aspirated engines are always going to feel a little quicker off the line than a turbocharged engine for the most part when it comes to the differences between the more powerful engine setups the Honda Accord gives you a two liter turbocharged four cylinder same engine found in their high performance Civic type R that one puts out 252 horsepower 273 pound feet of torque giving you a zero to 60 of 5.7 seconds on the other hand 2020 Camry gives you a 3.5 liter naturally aspirated v6 so big difference between the two there Honda uses a turbocharged setup for both of their engines whereas the Camry uses a naturally aspirated setup for both of their engines so whether you like one or the other that is going to be a big difference and by the way that 3.5 liter naturally aspirated v6 for the Camry comes in at 301 horsepower 267 pound feet of torque once again though zero to 60 in 5.7 seconds approximately so giving that we have the same zero to 60 time in the more powerful engine setup tiebreaker is going to come down to the four cylinder so in my book at least being as in the Camry it has slightly more power and a naturally aspirated setup I am going to have to give this one to the Camry although they are very very similar between the two so we're going to call this one two to one to the Camry at this point moving on to number six on our list being the fuel economy or miles per gallon when it comes to the four cylinder engine setup the Accord is going to give you 30 in the city 38 on the highway Camry is going to give you 29 in the city 41 on the highway quite a substantial difference there in the highway number so as far as the four cylinder engine goes clear winner is Camry on that one when it comes to the more powerful engine setup the Accord gives you 22 in the city 32 in the highway Camry also gives you 22 in the city 32 on the highway so giving that that particular engine setup is a tie once again tiebreaker comes down to the four cylinder so once again I'm going to have to get that one to the Camry seeing as it gives you 41 miles per gallon in a mid-sized sedan on the highway a lot of compact and subcompact cars don't even give you that so it's quite impressive actually so three to one Camry let's move on to number five it's a number five is actually going to be the safety comparison a very important one especially if you are hauling family members or kids in either of these mid-sized sedans and so once again there is a very clear difference here the Honda Accord is an IIHS top safety pick which is excellent that is great Camry is an IIHS top safety pick plus and so there is a reason for that slight increase in safety rating there by IIHS when it comes to our two cars here both have some very cool standard safety features Honda gives you Honda sensing they call it Toyota gives you Toyota safety sense they both come with things like adaptive cruise control as well as lane departure alert systems and a lot more actually as well but ultimately the reason for the difference in the safety rating when it comes to IIHS is actually the headlights the headlights are going to be a little brighter with the Camry so therefore the Camry takes the win here as well giving our score four to one Camry before you guys go down to the comment section now and start saying I am all about Toyota products I am not I've owned four or five Hondas I have yet to own a Toyota car so I am actually partial to Honda I have sold Hondas as well as a car salesman way back in the day so don't say that it is not true but I am being completely fair and unbiased right now there's at least that's what I am trying to do so anyways let's go ahead and move on to number four number four on our list is going to be cargo space once again a clear difference Honda Accord comes in at 16.7 cubic feet which is well above average actually for the mid-sized sedan segment Toyota Camry comes in at 15.1 cubic feet so both cars also give you 60-40 splits you get a ton of extra space either way that you go with but again there is a clear winner here and that is the Honda Accord putting our standings at four to two Toyota Camry in the lead. Next on my list is number three the interior quality both designs are honestly great but there are two areas that I look for specifically when I review cars when it comes to interior quality and that is how many plastics they actually have inside and what are the options available for the interior and so when it comes to the Honda Accord there are slightly more plastics comparatively speaking to the 2020 Toyota Camry also when it comes to interior color options there are gray and black interior color options which are pretty standard but for somebody that wants to change it up I personally favor more options than just two particular colors as well as different trim options like carbon fiber finishes aluminum trim things like that there's plenty of different options that you can have on the interior of vehicles these days when it comes to the 2020 Toyota Camry it does have slightly less plastics also gray and black interior options but they do add one and that is the cockpit red interior color option and that's going to be found everywhere including the seating the doors the dash everywhere on that 2020 Toyota Camry and I was definitely a fan that I was actually able to review one with that interior in the 2020 Toyota Camry so therefore because the Camry has slightly less plastics and an additional interior color option I'm going to have to give that one to the Camry as well five to two Camry let's move on to number two and so my number two comes down to the ride and handling both cars are amongst the most fun to drive cars in the mid-sized sedan class and I would probably add the Mazda 6 to that list as well but both offer McPherson strut front suspension with multi-link rear suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars as well a cord steering feels much weightier to me I got to be quite honest and I've driven nearly 500 cars at this point it is a very clear weightier steering wheel in the cord comparatively speaking to the Toyota Camry which I love definitely points you in the direction that you want to go a little better and it gives the driver a better feeling of control over the vehicle so for that reason I do like the weightier steering wheel so I got to give the Accord that one but in addition to that one of these two cars actually offers an adaptive damping system as well and that really gives you the best of both worlds because that's not only going to soak up the road imperfections of any road that you're driving because it monitors each shock absorber individually but it's also going to tighten up the suspension during heavy cornering again giving you the best of both worlds so that is a major suspension upgrade and the Honda Accord offers that in its touring trim level its top of the line trim level so overall when it comes to ride and handling in my opinion it is a very clear winner this one very clearly goes to the Honda Accord and so that puts us at five to three Toyota Camry and although we all know the winner at this point because I only have one comparison left that one last comparison here that I'm about to give you may be very vital to your decision between the two so make sure you stick around tech and audio and this is always a big one for me because the bigger the screen and the better the sound system I am always a fan of so both offer seven and eight inch color touchscreen displays depending on the trim level of course both now give you Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and this is a new thing for the 2020 Toyota Camry actually previously last year the Camry gave you Apple CarPlay previous to that it gave you neither so now for 2020 it does give you both just like the Honda Accord does so it is a pretty even playing field when it comes to that but the sound systems however will differ the Honda Accord will give you three sound systems to choose from being a four speaker eight speaker and 10 speaker sound systems as high as 450 watts with that 10 speaker sound system on the other hand the 2020 Toyota Camry will give you either a six or nine speaker sound system but the speakers don't tell the whole story though because that nine speaker sound system with the Toyota Camry will give you as high as 800 watts nearly double the wattage of the top sound system on the Honda Accord so that is quite interesting to take into consideration as well only the XLE and XSEV six trim levels with the Camry will get that nine speaker sound system and only the EXL and touring trim levels of the Accord will get that 10 speaker sound system therefore this one in my book is going to have to be a tie all right so as you guys can see there are very clear differences between both the 2020 Toyota Camry and the 2020 Honda Accord and there's plenty of other options by the way out there as well it's just these two are such a great comparison they've been going to war for so long now there's the new 2020 Hyundai Sonata coming out soon there's the Mazda 6 Volkswagen Passat there's a ton of options out there so I actually want to hear from you guys on this one between the 2020 Camry and the 2020 Accord please put in the comments section which one you choose I want to see the
