Compare 2018 Hyundai Sonata vs 2018 Toyota Camry

Performance

The new Hyundai Sonata is built with an updated electric power steering system with a high level of torque that is provided with the 2.0-liter turbo-four engine. It comes standard with a 2.4-liter engine, which responds quickly without delays when shifting. When the vehicle is in manual mode, it downshifts smoothly and will allow you to keep up with other cars. The vehicle's suspension has also improved, which offers a comfortable ride that doesn't let you feel each bump that you drive over on the road. The steering suspension is also lightweight even when it's in the Sport mode, making it an enjoyable car to drive for the price tag.

The 2018 Toyota Camry offers two different engines for drivers, which includes a 301-hp, 3.5-liter V6 engine or a 2.5-liter, 203-hp I4 engine. Unfortunately, it fails with the level of power that is provided with its SE model. Also, the transmission shudders and clunks at times, which affects its reliability and can cause consumers to have a lack of trust. Drivers will notice that the engine also becomes louder when accelerating compared to the Sonata.

Interior Comfort

The cabin of the 2018 Hyundai Sonata is quiet and smooth, making it an ideal car to drive on trips and with passengers in tow. The materials are upscale and have a soft texture, especially on the upper trim vehicles. Heated and ventilated front seats with dual-zone auto climate control create a comfortable cabin to ride in throughout the year. One of the main perks of the technology that is included is the 10-speaker audio system with subwoofer, which provides a premium sound that isn't muffled by the engine.

The 2018 Camry has an updated dash design with an ample amount of legroom in the backseat. The vehicle is less upright compared to the Sonata, which can make it difficult to get into the backseat and will require you to duck your head each time. The interior of the cabin is modern with materials that have been upgraded and improved compared to the 2017 Toyota Camry.

Safety

Safety is one of the main concerns for car buyers, making the Sonata an ideal car to drive due to its impressive safety features that are included. Drivers can take advantage of the rear cross traffic alert, brake assist, lane change assist, lane keep assist, blind-spot detection, and rear parking sensors. LED taillights and headlights also improve visibility and make the car easy to spot.

The 2018 Toyota Camry is built with standard active safety features with lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, high beam assist, and a rearview camera to compensate for blind spots and mistakes made by the driver. Although the model keeps up with the latest tech features, it doesn't have as high of safety ratings compared to the Sonata with crash tests that have been performed.
