Toyota Camry vs. Hyundai Sonata

Both of them feature a standard 4-cylinder engine, and their performance metrics differ slightly:

• Toyota Camry standard engine: 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque
• Hyundai Sonata standard engine: 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque

If you’re looking for even more power, the 2022 Camry rises to the occasion with an available 3.5-liter V6 motor that delivers 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque for a thrilling ride. You may be left wanting for more with the available powertrain in the Sonata since it only provides 290 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque.

These advanced systems include Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control systems as well as Hill Start Assist Control. You’ll also find a standard Tire Pressure Monitor System to make sure that each tire is properly inflated.

The Camry, however, is the only one of these two sedans that offers an available all-wheel-drive system. With this upgrade, you’ll have the benefit of extra torque and traction should you travel over bumpy terrain like gravel or meet adverse weather conditions that create slick roads. Unfortunately, the Hyundai Sonata only comes with front-wheel drive.

These available comforts include the following:

• Dual zone automatic climate control
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated steering wheel

For added fun, you’ll find an available moonroof on the Camry and a sunroof on the Sonata, so you can let the sun in on a summer day.

If you really want to ensure that you’re cozy during your trek, though, you’ll want to look at the vehicles’ dimensions. For example, both the 2022 Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata provide you with more than 42 inches of front legroom to stretch out in.

However, the Camry also has 38 inches of rear legroom while the Sonata only has 34.8 inches, so your passengers may feel a little cramped in the Hyundai.
