Sedans are known to be stealthy, sporty, and savvy on the road. The Hyundai Sonata and the Toyota Camry follow suit thanks to their identical engines and gas mileages. Even with several similarities on board, the Hyundai showcases a greater dedication to fuel conservation.
The powertrains in both the Hyundai Sonata and the Toyota Camry are quite similar. Both sedans are stocked with 2.5L 4-cylinder engines and 8-speed automatic transmissions.
Similarly, their engine configurations allow them to earn similar fuel economies: an EPA-estimated 28 city/38 highway MPG in the Sonata and 28 city/39 highway MPG in the Camry.*
The Sonata comes with an added feature that could improve fuel economy even further: Idle Stop & Go. This system automatically shuts off the engine when you come to a halt, such as at a red light. This will prevent your vehicle from burning unnecessary fuel and help keep you away from the gas pump longer.
The Toyota Camry does not offer a similar feature.
When you’re behind the wheel, you deserve to be treated to a first-class experience. Thanks to the comprehensive cockpits in the Sonata and the Camry, these sedans can keep you riding in comfort and remain connected to loved ones with ease.
Whether you’re taking a Sunday drive or commuting to work, you’ll want assurance that your sedan can keep you comfortable. Luckily, both the Hyundai Sonata and the Toyota Camry come with several impressive tech features to transport you to your personal oasis.
Some of the standard features found in both vehicles include:
- Android Auto™ integration
- Apple CarPlay® integration
Thanks to these standard integrations, you can enjoy seamless smartphone pairing in either model.
While both vehicles offer impressive multimedia systems to keep you seamlessly connected on the go, the screen in the Sonata is larger. The 8-inch color touchscreen with HD Radio™ in the Sonata will make it easy to change the music, adjust the volume, and more.
The 7-inch touchscreen in the Camry will still be effective; however, the Hyundai’s added real estate provides better usability overall.
The words versatility and sedan are typically on different ends of the spectrum; however, in the Sonata and the Camry, they’re closely associated. Inside their respective cabins, you’ll have adequate space for both passengers and storage.
The Sonata seats five riders with 104.4 cubic feet of passenger volume and 16 cubic feet of cargo volume. Meanwhile, the Camry seats five as well, with a slightly smaller 100.4 cubic feet of passenger volume and 15.1 cubic feet of cargo volume.
The cabin size differences between these sedans are slight. However, with just a bit more room in the Sonata, you’ll have more interior flexibility on your next adventure.
Now that you’ve seen how much space passengers can share in either sedan, let’s take out the magnifying glass to see where the Sonata’s extra wiggle room comes from:

|---|---|---|
| Legroom (front) | 46.1 inches | 42.1 inches |
| Headroom (front) | 40 inches | 38.3 inches |
| Shoulder Room (front) | 57.9 inches | 57.7 inches |
Significantly more legroom in the Hyundai means even taller drivers will feel comfortable driving this sedan, whereas they may feel more strapped for space in the Camry.
After conducting this 2023 Hyundai Sonata vs. 2023 Toyota Camry comparison, it’s evident that both cars are excellent options. However, due to its advantages in efficiency, technology, and space, our team at Andy Mohr Hyundai believes the Sonata is the better choice—especially for Bloomington, Martinsville, and Ellettsville drivers.
