Shopping midsize sedans in LA? Two names lead every search: 2025 Honda Accord and 2025 Toyota Camry. Both are efficient, safe, and easy to park downtown. The Honda Accord is the better choice for life in DTLA. It has built–in tech, different powertrains, and high-quality audio for the 110 and 10.
Quick verdict: Accord > Camry for LA commuters
- Choose your drive: turbo gas or hybrid in the Accord; the Camry focuses on hybrid.
- Built‑in Google apps on Accord Touring for native Maps, Assistant, and more.
- Impressive 12.3‑inch touchscreen standard on Accord hybrid trims for clear, quick info.
- Premium sound: available 12‑speaker Bose® system makes freeway podcasts and playlists shine.
1) Powertrains & MPG: Accord gives you options
Prefer a classic gas engine? The 2025 Honda Accord offers a 192‑hp 1.5L turbo on LX and SE.
Want smooth, electric‑boosted power? Step up to the 204‑hp hybrid Accord. On select hybrid trims, the Accord is rated up to 51 city / 44 highway mpg, perfect for long LA commutes. You can also use EV Mode in certain conditions to glide quietly through neighborhoods.
The Camry offers good hybrid efficiency and modern features. However, the Accord is the better choice for gas and hybrid options. Learn more about how the Accord compares to the Camry for LA drivers.
2025 Honda Accord power highlights
- 192‑hp turbo on LX/SE.
- 204‑hp hybrid with strong electric torque.
- Up to 51/44 mpg on hybrid trims (city/hwy).
- 4‑Mode Drive System and Deceleration Control paddles on hybrids.
2) Built‑in tech you’ll actually use
The Accord’s Google built‑in (Touring) puts Google Maps, Assistant, and apps inside the car—no phone required. Hybrid trims also get a standard 12.3‑inch touchscreen, plus Apple CarPlay® compatibility (wireless on hybrid trims). That means fewer taps and faster routing when you’re threading through the Arts District or catching a game at Crypto.com Arena.
The Camry has wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which is nice. However, it does not have Google built into the car like the Accord Touring does.
3) Audio & screens: freeway‑friendly sound

Turn rush hour into a show. The Accord offers an available Bose® premium audio system with 12 speakers (including Centerpoint® surround). It pairs beautifully with the wide 12.3‑inch display on hybrid trims to keep maps and menus easy to read at a glance.
4) Comfort for real DTLA driving
LA roads ask a lot from a sedan. The Accord has a motion management system for better handling.
It also has suspension tuning for a smooth ride and noise–reduction features to keep the cabin quiet. Inside, the seats support your back and hips. The designers created the rear seat to keep adults comfortable on long drives to the beach or the Valley.
5) Confidence in traffic: advanced driver‑assist
Honda Sensing® is standard on Accord and includes:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™
- Road Departure Mitigation
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low‑Speed Follow
- Lane Keeping Assist with Traffic Jam Assist
- Traffic Sign Recognition
The Camry has a strong safety suite. However, the Accord offers a better mix of features. The way these features appear on the Head–Up Display in the Touring model is clear. This makes it ideal for heavy traffic in LA.
