While the Toyota Camry has always been an amazing family car, it’s also carried the stigma of being boring. However, the 2020 TRD trim level kicks things up a notch by adding some much-needed flair and breathing in new life to the Camry’s normally subdued driving characteristics.

On the other side, the Honda Accord Sport has been receiving rave reviews over the past couple of years for its classy interior, potent turbocharged engine, and well-mannered driving dynamic. Needless to say, the Accord is not boring by comparison. However, the 2020 Camry TRD is out to change everyone’s mind, and here are the major ways in which it stands against the Honda Accord Sports.
The 2020 Toyota Camry TRD Has the TRD Touch
The 2020 Toyota Camry TRD is outfitted with a TRD front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, and a rear spoiler. Also, it has 19-inch black wheels that complement the overall look and add a nice contrast to the body colour. The Honda Accord Sport looks sporty, but it could use a little more touch.
The 2020 Toyota Camry TRD Has Surprisingly Good Handling
The Camry’s TRD-tuned suspension, which includes lowering springs, upgraded dampers, and stiffer roll bars, provides more stability in the corners and its wider tires added a surprising amount of grip. One other welcomed characteristic was the car’s steering, which is much tighter and more responsive than that of the Accord.
Who Should Buy a Toyota and Who Should Buy a Honda? The Age-Long Question
The 2020 Toyota Camry TRD Has Efficient V6 Power Engine
The Camry TRD’s 3.5-litre V6 engine has smooth power delivery and enough torque to get the 3,500-pound car up the steepest of hills, as well as into almost any road holes. The Accord Sport’s turbo 2.0-litre engine is great and provides a nice surge of power when the boost builds. However, the Camry’s V6’s power band is smooth in every gear and the TRD exhaust makes it sound very lively.
The 2020 Toyota TRD Has A Sporty Interior
While the Honda Accord Sport’s interior is definitely classy and exudes the elegance that you would normally expect from a class above, we like that the Camry TRD has a sportier design language to it. The black Sport SoftTex front seats have contrasting red stitching and there’s red striping on the cloth inserts. And while automakers do tend to overdo it with the “special edition” embroidering, the TRD embroidering on the floor mats and red seatbelts adds a necessary sporty design element.
The 2020 Toyota Camry Has Black Contrasting Roof
The Toyota Camry TRD is available in four different colours: Supersonic Red, Wind Chill Pearl, Celestial Silver, and Black. And while these are pretty normal colours for any car, Toyota uses a black-contrasting roof that accentuates the car’s body colour and aforementioned body kit.
Conclusion
While the Honda Accord 2020 Sport is a great vehicle to consider buying, it’s important to know that Toyota Camry 2020 TRD competes favourably against the Accord and could be a better option if you are in the market for a vehicle of that nature.
