Honda Accord vs Toyota Camry Hybrid comparison

    The hybrid versions of the new Honda Accord and Toyota Camry may be green but the rivalry between them is as mean as ever.

    The final countdown

    Before we tally the scores, a word on the way these cars look. The Camry is smart but some of us think the cuts and creases at the front are unnecessary. The Accord on the other hand has the sleeker look and generally sportier stance.

    Truth is, the Accord Hybrid is also the more desirable car. It feels newer, it’s got the nicer interior and it’s got the sort of technology under its attractive skin that other hybrids will only receive in the years to come. And for what it’s worth, it’s also the more fuel-efficient car. But good as the Accord Hybrid is, it’s not good enough to justify the Rs 7 lakh premium over the Camry.

    The Camry Hybrid may be down on appeal but it works well as a hybrid and there’s just no arguing the financial case it makes. It really is the more sensible buy and our pick of this duo.

    Could local assembly and a subsequent lower price tag have changed the outcome of this comparison in favour of the Honda? Most definitely, yes.
