It also sees Honda vigorously push its powerful yet frugal hybrid powertrain with excellent results.
Can it compare with the daddy of all midsize sedans, the Toyota Camry? For 2023, the Camry continues with the XV70 generation that debuted in 2017, albeit it saw a facelift in 2021 with a hybrid variant joining the range. For 2023, the Camry only receives two new exterior colors.

Interior Comparison
The 2023 Accord's interior features a bold new design, with Honda's mesh-strip grille across the dash taking precedence. The automaker has also paid great attention to ergonomics, with physical knobs and buttons for the dual-zone climate control standard across the 2023 Accord range. The spacious cabin offers seating for up to five adults and 16.7 cubic feet of trunk space.
In comparison, the 2023 Camry is now starting to feel old, remembering its cabin design is from 2017. There's less space for passengers and a smaller 15.1 cubic foot trunk. While the Camry's materials were considered premium in 2017, the 2023 Accord has raised the bar again.
Both cars are well-equipped, with standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, powered driver and front passenger seats, dual-zone climate control, and touchscreen infotainment systems. The 2023 Accord's largest screen is a spacious 12.3-inch unit, while the 2023 Camry's screen real estate maxes out at 9 inches.

Performance Comparison
The 2023 Accord offers a 192 horsepower turbo four on the base LX and EX trims. However, you can step up to Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, or Touring and avail yourself of the automaker's latest hybrid powertrain. Offering 204 horsepower, it sees a 2.0-liter four-cylinder plus two electric motors powering the front wheels. The system should also offer up to 48 mpg of combined mileage figures.
In contrast, the 2023 Camry offers three powertrain options, but they are all older and less refined. The base Camry's 2.5-liter four-cylinder can serve 202 horsepower but is less economical than the Accord's turbo four. The Camry Hybrid brings 208 horsepower, and the thirsty 3.5-liter V-6 can deliver 301 horsepower but isn't as refined as you'd expect. Front-wheel-drive is standard, but an all-wheel-drive system can be optioned.
Safety Features Comparison
The 2023 Accord and 2023 Camry come with a high level of safety engineered into them and a plethora of active and passive safety features. These include eight standard airbags, stability control, traction control, child safety locks, and daytime running lamps. The latest Honda Sensing® suite is standard across the 2023 Accord range. In comparison, the 2023 Camry sticks with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5.
