2026 Toyota Camry vs Hyundai Sonata Hybrid
The Toyota Camry is one of the top-selling midsize sedans of all time. Most recently, it upgraded to a hybrid-exclusive powertrain. So the 2026 Toyota Camry isn’t just superbly efficient—it’s also exceedingly powerful, comfortable, and performance-oriented. Keyes Toyota covers how this model surpasses rivals such as the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.
Power
One of the biggest highlights of this new Toyota car is its capable powertrain. Under its hood is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine rated at 225 horsepower. Contrarily, the engine in the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that outputs just 192 horsepower. The Toyota Camry also has a huge advantage in terms of drivetrain: all-wheel drive is available on all five trims. On the other hand, the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is front-wheel drive only.
Cabin and Comfort
If you want a midsize sedan with outstanding roominess and seat quality, the 2026 Toyota Camry is it. When we compare its backseat to the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, we see it has a slight edge in terms of rear headroom: 37.6 inches vs 37.4 inches. But for rear legroom, the Toyota Camry is the clear choice—38.0 inches compared to 34.8 inches for the Hyundai Sonata.
Seating-wise, the majority of Toyota Camry trims feature SofTex® and fabric-trimmed front seats. Its top two trims boast a leather-trimmed interior. Contrarily, two of the three Hyundai Sonata Hybrid trims come with cloth seating. Only the top-line Hybrid Limited has leather upholstery.
Performance
After you’ve driven the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and then piloted the 2026 Toyota Camry at our Toyota dealership serving Los Angeles, CA, we think you’ll agree the Toyota Camry offers a more exciting ride. Not only is it faster, more powerful, and eligible for AWD, it also boasts a smooth, agile suspension that trumps the Hyundai hybrid. Moreover, while both sedans offer several drive modes, the Toyota Camry offers something the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid doesn’t: an EV mode that drives on 100 percent electricity at low speeds and short distances.
