Verdict
The 2025 Camry is hybrid-only, and its 51 MPG combined crushes the base Accord's 32 MPG - that alone saves roughly $2,800 in fuel over 5 years. The Accord offers a bigger trunk and a quieter highway ride. Unless you specifically want the Accord's cabin, the Camry hybrid is the rational choice.
Pick the Camry if
- • high-mileage commuters (51 MPG)
- • family sedan duty
Pick the Accord if
- • quiet, comfortable highway miles
- • biggest trunk in the class

- • Hybrid battery replacement out of warranty is expensive, though rare before 150k miles
Honda Accord
0 recalls · 67 NHTSA complaints filed
Before you buy
- • Non-hybrid EX gives up a lot of MPG to the Camry hybrid at a similar price
- • 1.5T is adequate, not quick
