The 2018 Toyota Camry and the 2018 Honda Accord are two of the most popular cars in the midsize sedan class and they have both been redesigned for the 2018 model year. It can be difficult to choose between two vehicles with such a great reputation, but at Peruzzi Toyota we're here to help you make your decision. When these two vehicles go head to head, discover who comes out on top in the areas of price, reliability, interior quality, fuel economy, and more. Price When it comes to price, the 2018 Toyota Camry and the 2018 Honda Accord are nearly neck and neck. The Honda Accord starts at $23,570 and the 2018 Toyota Camry starts at $23,495. Since these two vehicles are the most popular midsize sedans it's no surprise that their MSRP prices should fall within a few hundred dollars of each other. The slight edge in the price category goes to the 2018 Camry. Reliability Based on J.D. Power and Associates Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), U.S. News and World Report awarded the 2018 Honda Accord 4/5 and the 2018 Toyota Camry 4.5/5 in the category of reliability. Both vehicles have been redesigned for the 2018 model year so these are the first scores available to these designs. Both vehicles come with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. While the warranties of the two vehicles are identical, the 2018 Camry gets the edge in reliability rating. Interior Features and Quality The interiors of the 2018 Camry and Accord have both been redesigned and both have seats that are comfortable and supportive. However, there are several interior features that put the 2018 Camry over the top. While both models come equipped with a 7-inch infotainment screen, only the screen int he Camry is a touchscreen. Additionally, the 2018 Camry comes with six speakers while the 2018 Accord only comes with four. The Camry also features voice recognition so that you can make changes to whatever you need while  keeping your attention focused on the road. Fuel Economy These two 2018 mid-size sedans are very close when it comes to fuel economy but once again, the Camry comes out ahead of the Accord. The Camry checks in at 29 mpg city and 41 mpg highway for a combined 34 mpg. The Accord gets 30 mpg city but only 38 mpg highway for a combined 33 mpg. While the 2018 Camry and 2018 Accord are both at the top of their model class, the 2018 Toyota Camry comes out on top in the four major categories of Price, Reliability, Interior, and Fuel Economy.
