Honda Accord Sport's all-black grille an acquired taste that some people might never acquire. Appears much longer, lower, and wider than the previous Accord and the new Camry--but it's not.
Toyota tried more than a little too hard to inject drama into the new Camry's styling. Though the 2013-2017 Accord borrowed from BMW's design language, it was forgettably conventional.
Proportions aren't ideal thanks to front-wheel-drive. Hood cut line appears uneven from some angles The new Accord appears sleekest and most elegant from the rear quarter.
The Camry's rear fascia also has too much going on. Large windows are a strength. Far cleaner rear facia on the Accord. Such sophisticated body side surfacing unexpected from Honda.
192-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter engine delivers quick acceleration and excellent fuel economy. Nothing fancy, yet looks and feels more expensive than it is, even with cloth seats.
Much cleaner interior styling than other recent Hondas. Large, high-mounted infotainment display. Toyota's interior designers were more adventurous, but were undermined by the selected plastics.
Two displays and too many buttons in the 2013-2017 Accord. Then the 2016 Civic had too few buttons. Vastly improved controls from the previous Accord. No starship aspirations.
Comfortable thanks to a four-way lumber adjuster. Sport's cloth center panels help prevent sliding. Tremendous rear legroom, but limited rear headroom.
Roomiest trunk, but others are close. It looks like the trim inside the trunk lid was designed for a handle, but no handle. Needs one.
