Honda Accord vs Toyota Camry

The Honda Accord starts from $59,000 (our estimated RRP; the brand lists drive-away prices only) before on-road costs, while the Toyota Camry opens at $39,990. Both land at the same RRP, so on-road costs and dealer deals become the real differentiator.

Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $64,900 and $43,989 respectively.

Over 5 years, the running costs are nearly identical since both have similar efficiency.
