The Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord have dominated the midsize sedan segment for years. When shopping for a new family vehicle, many New York drivers will ultimately choose between these two cars. Both have been completely redesigned for the 2018 model year with updated styling, improved driving dynamics, and a greater number of luxury features. Let's see how the 2018 Toyota Camry stacks up against the 2018 Honda Accord. 

Which Car Delivers the Strongest Performance? 

The 2018 Toyota Camry gives you two new engines to choose from. Most people will choose the base four-cylinder engine, which provides a satisfying 203 horsepower. If you're seeking a more exhilarating performance you can step up to the Camry's V6 engine, which punches out an exciting 301 horsepower. Honda has also introduced a new engine lineup for the Accord. While the Accord's base turbocharged four-cylinder engine puts out 192 horsepower, its top-of-the-line engine produces just 252 horsepower. Despite the Accord's competitive output, it's at a clear disadvantage. The Camry's extra horsepower makes it more enjoyable to drive on an everyday basis. You'll always have an extra degree of performance on tap.
