2018 Toyota Camry vs 2018 Honda Accord
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. If you’re interesting seeing the 2018 Camry for yourself or taking it for a test drive, visit Peruzzi Toyota.

2019 Toyota 86 TRD Special Edition
The Toyota 86 has been one of the most impressive sports cars on the market since it debuted in 2012.

This edition also features a completely different appearance than the stock 86. The TRD Special Edition only comes in Raven black.

Toyota has always been at the forefront of automotive technology, whether it be safety or entertainment related. Earlier this year we learned that Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa support were coming to a whole host of 2019 Toyota vehicles including the Avalon, Corolla Hatchback, and RAV4. Recently, the company announced that the latest models to be receiving this treatment would be the Camry sedan and Sienna minivan. Since these are two of the most popular Toyota models, it only makes sense that they would be the next vehicles in the Toyota fleet to get Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa support. Learn more about Toyota’s CarPlay and Alexa support below and then come find out more at Peruzzi Toyota.
If you’re not familiar with Apple CarPlay, it’s a great feature of iOS that makes using your phone in the car much easier and safer. Rather than looking down at your hand-held phone which is dangerous and illegal, CarPlay allows you to get all the great features of your iPhone or iPod on the Entune 3.0 touchscreen display system right in the center console of your Toyota vehicle.
In order to activate CarPlay on your 2019 Toyota vehicle, you just need an iOS device connected via a USB cable to the vehicle’s entertainment system. For Alexa support, users need an Android device that is equipped with Android 5.0 or higher. Alexa support for iOS devices will be coming in early 2019.
Toyota is one of the first vehicle manufacturers to introduce Amazon Alexa support, typical of Toyota’s commitment to staying on the cutting edge of technological developments. Since Apple CarPlay was first announced by Toyota in January 2018, the company has been hard at work transforming the Entune 3.0 infotainment system to make it compatible with both systems. The Entune 3.0 also features a built-in modem that can provide you with Wi-Fi on the go.
If you’re interested in learning more about Toyota’s Apple CarPlay or Amazon Alexa support, visit Peruzzi Toyota. We have more information about these new 2019 Toyota models available and you can be the first to know when we get them in stock. If you’re looking for a Toyota vehicle now, you can visit Peruzzi Toyota to take any of our collection of 180+ new vehicles in stock for a test drive. If you’re looking for a used car instead, Peruzzi also has a huge selection of over 500 pre-owned vehicles including Certified Pre-Owned Toyota vehicles available for residents of Allentown, Bethlehem, and the surrounding areas.
