One of the leading choices for the midsize sedan segment is the Honda Accord. It offers multiple advantages over its competitors, including the Toyota Camry. Here are four reasons to buy a 2022 Honda Accord, not a 2022 Toyota Camry.

2022 Honda Accord has more interior space than the 2022 Toyota Camry

The first reason to buy a 2022 Honda Accord instead of a 2022 Toyota Camry is the Accord has more interior space than the Camry. While both midsize sedans can seat up to five people, the Accord is slightly bigger than the Camry, resulting in more space for passengers. It has a total passenger volume of 105.6 cu-ft, compared to 100.4 cu-ft for the Camry. The difference in passenger space is most prominent for the rear seats. The Accord offers 40.4 inches of rear legroom, compared to 38.0 inches for the Camry.

Also, the Accord provides more storage space than the Camry with its larger trunk. It has a cargo capacity of 16.7 cu-ft, compared to 15.1 cu-ft for the Camry.

The second reason to buy a 2022 Honda Accord instead of a 2022 Toyota Camry is the Accord gets better fuel economy than the Camry. With the very high price of gasoline these days, an efficient car like the Accord is an attractive choice for car buyers. It gets an estimated fuel economy of up to 33 combined mpg, compared to 31 combined mpg for the Camry. 

Also, unlike the Camry, the Accord has an automatic start-stop system. The automatic start-stop system helps improve gas mileage by temporarily shutting off the engine when the Accord is idling. It then restarts the engine when the driver presses down on the accelerator pedal.

Honda Accord offers more comfort and convenience features than the Toyota Camry

The third reason to buy a 2022 Honda Accord instead of a 2022 Toyota Camry is that it offers more comfort and convenience features than the Camry. This includes a driver’s seat memory system, an easy entry system, heated rear seats, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Also, for a quieter ride, the Accord has a noise cancellation feature, which helps reduce noise in the cabin. The Camry doesn’t offer any of these features.

Unlike the 2022 Camry, the 2022 Accord has a driver alert monitor feature

The fourth reason to buy a 2022 Honda Accord instead of a 2022 Toyota Camry is that, unlike the Camry, the Accord has a driver alert monitor feature. Every year, thousands of people are injured and killed in car accidents that result from inattentive driving or when the driver falls asleep at the wheel. The driver alert monitor feature in the Accord helps address this by emitting a warning sound when it detects inattentive driving.

The 2022 Honda Accord has advantages for interior space, fuel economy, comfort and convenience features, and a driver alert monitor feature. These advantages are key reasons to buy a 2022 Honda Accord instead of a 2022 Toyota Camry.
