2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid vs Honda Accord Hybrid

When it comes to choosing a hybrid sedan, the ninth-generation 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid and the new Honda Accord Hybrid are two top choices. Both vehicles offer excellent fuel efficiency, advanced technology, and a comfortable driving experience. However, there are key differences in their interiors and efficiency that may sway your decision, especially if you’re considering the superior quality and features of the Toyota Camry Hybrid. 

Keep reading as our team at Longo Toyota compares these two hybrids to help you make an informed decision. We cover interior comfort and convenience, advanced technology, power and performance, and fuel economy to see which one comes out on top:

Interior Comfort and Convenience

The interior of the 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid is expected to be completely redesigned for the new model year. According to the latest reports, the design will focus on luxury, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. The cabin will feature high-quality materials, including standard cloth seats and dual-zone climate control. For something extra, you can opt for the XLE or XSE models for leather upholstery, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and ambient lighting for a premium feel. The driver and passengers will appreciate the spacious seating, with ample legroom and headroom in front and rear to ensure comfort on long drives. 

The new Honda Accord Hybrid also offers a comfortable and well-appointed interior, though it may not match the premium feel of the Camry Hybrid. Most of the seats are upholstered with cloth and if you want leather, you’ll have to fork out for the higher trims. The Accord Hybrid features high-quality materials and an ergonomic design with two spacious rows of seats. It has a generous trunk with up to 16.7 cubic feet of cargo space. This is marginally larger than the Camry’s 15.1 cubic feet of cargo space, but both are more than enough for everyday needs. 

Advanced Technology

The Camry Hybrid offers a range of advanced technology features in its high-tech interior, such as a standard 8-inch touch screen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and dual Bluetooth phone connectivity. The SE offers an available larger 12.3-inch touch screen, and this comes standard on the XLE and XSE models. All trims come with a digital gauge cluster display, but the two higher models get a 10-inch Head Up Display for speed, traffic, and warning indicators on the dashboard. The available nine-speaker JBL premium audio system on the XLE and XSE delivers an exceptional listening experience. 

The infotainment system on the Honda Accord includes a smaller 7-inch standard touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, providing easy access to your favorite apps and media. However, unlike the Camry, the Accord only offers wireless connectivity if you pay for the larger touch screen. Like the Camry, you can opt for a larger 12.3-inch touch screen display and a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster is standard. The available 12-speaker premium audio system offers decent sound quality if you prioritize music on your drives.

Power and Performance

The new Toyota hybrid is equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System for improved handling and performance. The new hybrid model delivers up to 225 horsepower with the front-wheel-drive (FWD) version and up to 232 horsepower with the all-wheel-drive (AWD) version. The AWD version comes with enhanced traction for extra grip in all weather and road conditions, but you have the choice depending on what suits you and your lifestyle best.

The Accord comes with either a smaller turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder on base models or a smaller 2.0-liter four-cylinder automatic (variable gear ratios) hybrid engine. Paired with two electric motors, it delivers a total of 204 horsepower. It doesn’t come with the choice of AWD; instead FWD is the only choice across all trims. Regardless of the drivetrain version you choose, you’re promised more power and performance and more choices with the latest version of the Toyota Camry.

How Fuel Efficiency Compares

Both 2025 models for the Toyota Camry Hybrid and the Honda Accord Hybrid are yet to be rated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, when looking at previous models, we can draw some conclusions on the expectations for the newer models. 

The 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid was rated at an impressive 51 mpg in the city and 53 mpg on the highway. The last hybrid model to be rated by the EPA is the 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid where it scored 51 mpg in the city and 44 mpg on the highway. While neither option is bad, the new hybrid Camry is still the better choice if you prioritize fuel efficiency and saving money at the pump. Keep in mind that it offers this fuel efficiency despite having a more powerful engine so you get the best of both worlds.
