Georgetown Toyota:
The Accord's ability after 4 years to still consistently be one of the quickest family sedans while also being the most balanced overall is very impressive.
Agreed
The Honda's detuned version of the Civic Type R's engine and its excellent 10 speed transmission are truly impressive. But the new 2.5L turbo in the Korean vehicles and their much improved DCT may well be tweaked to improve its performance in upcoming versions. As for Toyota, the Camry's somewhat old-in-the-tooth naturally aspirated V6 won't shine in this kind of comparison. Of course, Toyota could turbocharge that engine to improve the Camry's performance but that would risk putting a dent (even a minor one) in Toyota's reputation for reliability. And that's something that Toyota is very unlikely to risk.
@@stephenhendricks103 never know, they teamed up with unreliable bmw to build the supra 🤣
Many drivers reported that their Honda Accords had engine problems regarding oil consumption. The engines would burn through oil far more rapidly than usual, forcing drivers to replenish their oil too often. Replacing the oil could add up fast, and fixing the actual problem can cost $1,200 or more.
I have been loving my 2020 Accord Sport 2.0T. It’s a real sleeper. The power delivery and the driving dynamics just feel more refined and it all feels more buttoned down than the competitors, IMO. For me that’s more important than some of the tech lacking and less premium materials inside. Not that there is anything really wrong with their interiors.
Wow! Sonata N-line is impressive. If the driver was more familiar with Sonata, I think the result would have been a complete sweep. Camry and the Accord have always been the top sellers year after year before the SUV craze, but maybe Sonata & K5 will creep into their market-share being equally quality cars, or maybe even better.
Honda and Toyota are known for their reliability, and both these brands are practical as well. while one can't say the same for the Hyundai.
@@truthonly7196 where you get that from? Legit question. I bought a sonata 13, 2.0t at 18k miles, sold it at 250k miles, still running fine. Best car I have ever owned.
@@LuisRomero-es1tm must haven’t owned a lot of cars😂 u can sell a Camry at 400k miles still running
@@lilsonny4074 same with a Honda Accord
Everyone gets mad when they get beat by a Korean product
The accord is definitely underrated on power
@@akaDICworldwide the tlx is still slower bud
@@jimmypena2442 I don’t think it’s underrated or it makes it to the wheels. Pretty sure that little turbo lag helps with initial grip and then when the turbo kicks in it’s already got grip. If it was really underestimated the sonata wouldn’t catch up so well.
@@ajl6854 there's almost no appreciable lag.
It's making what the RDX or TLX are rated at.
@@smokesgtp then it’s just the lower power and gearing that might be helping it grip better initially. Either way if it were underrated and had more power to the wheels it would be spinning the wheels as well and better on the top end.
The reaction time of the Sonata driver was slower than my dead grandmother.
Dude was asleep at the wheel just about every launch.
To me in shows the capability on that N-Line even more. Being about to reel in the accord was certainly impressive.
Lmao 😂🤣🤣🤣
@@phuxtick what is a launch?
Yes , actually your'e right 😂
If you've ever drove any of these cars the Sonata is definitely the quickest car of the 3. It spins to much to be a lauch demon but has crazy performance when you're already rolling.
Love your channel and I must say the bass in your vids is fantastic! Sounds amazing on my Edifiers!
All I know is that I love my '20 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T and I look forward to driving it every single day!
The accord is a true gem. My 2001 EX is still running strong.
They don’t make them like they used to🥲
I have 2001's too🔥
Me 2 ihave 2001 black
The reliability of these new Honda’s is shit
That 01 civic you have is known for overheating and blowing head gaskets.
Sonata is no joke damn. This is why I bought one….it is very fast. Refined premium interior and legendary warranty
Now that's the comparison I've been waiting for! Thanks
They should have switched cars to be sure it wasn’t a driver who sucks . Lol
My thoughts exactly. I bet that would have made a difference.
The conclusion from this video: 1. Despite some reactions/launch issue, Camry is ALWAYS the loser regardless, in any mode. So Turbo owns? 2. The extra 40 HP on Sonata over the Accord is noticed as it allows the Sonata to catch up towards the end. Good runs
@I hate Dummies Only if u keep it 10+years
@I hate Dummies yes cheers to many more boring driving years. Life is too short for boring cars.
The camry xse has not turbo, so the reaction after launch is the issue compared to the other ones. Obviously slower than the rest
Exactly 😁
"extra 40 hp", on paper maybe.
Another great video, love your editing! See ya soon!
See you soon bud
High horsepower is good and all but the way that power is delivered is a factor and the driver's reaction time plays a part
I’d love to see the K5 GT, accord, and Camry race! (Yes I know the sonata and the K5 GT have the same engine, but still) would be awesome to see! Great video!!
It will come
the K5, sonata, and accord would be a good race
The driver in the accord definitely have faster reaction then the other 2 drivers🤣
That 10 speed transmission in the Accord is just way more responsive. Still on the top end, that 311 torque of the Sonata will always walk it down though.
I think it’s the better transmission at work.
@@galacticmaui2 Faster transmission, not necessarily better and Toyota and Hyundai have more durable transmission than Honda. They have very few transmission failure compared to Honda.
@@Marlon_J We wouldn’t know in regards to this specific transmission so I’d hold judgment in the meantime.
@@galacticmaui2 what you mean? It's been out long enough to see how well it performs. Unless you're talking about reliability, which would be besides point.
Watching this made me proud that I own a 2.0 Accord 😊
I've got the 1.5. Which is 1.8 seconds slower. But I went for gas mileage. But I've contemplated going to the 2.0.
@@ajpeeps9829 makes sense. I went for the v6 instead of the 2.0t just because the v6 sounds better makes more power etc proven engine and no direct injection problems that 2.0t engines have. I do mostly highway driving and average 36 mpg because it kicks down to 3 cylinders when cruising gotta love vcm.
Why? Because it's the slowest?
Same here bro. Seeing these vids on the channel make me happy. Repping the red 18’ in 6mt.
It held its own but nline faster.
2:55 for race 3:45 second run 4:32 third run
The 3rd run sport mode, the sonata had a terrible late launch. I think that is the same sonata throttle house raced with that defect in the launch control system that you mentioned. You are doing it right launching at 2k rpm.
Sonata N line doesn’t like launches, this is my second race
@@SamCarLegion Dude's Right. Heard that the Pre-Production Sonata N-Line has some bugs, Because if the K5 was destroying the Accord then there is no way the N-Line wouldn't be able to do the same.
@@boygonewhoopdataZZ yep
@@SamCarLegion did you engage the launch control? You mentioned the sonata doesn't like the brake and gas at the same time which is part of how you put it into launch. Try Sport+ >>> hold the traction control until stability is off >>> hold brake and gas to floor >>> use cruise control adjuster to set RPM >>> let of brake
He's launching terrible. Saying the Sonata doesn't launch is ridiculous. It's quick af off the line
Personally Sam, I prefer roll races on FWD cars because some much goes into launching that it really doesn’t show the cars full potential. I still feel the N line is much faster than the accord as shown in the rolling race. How do you feel?
I'm SHOCKED the Sonata took the Accord by THAT MUCH in the 2nd run in full sport mode. Even if the Accord is givin' up 50hp to the Hyundai, that Accord is QUICK, so the Sonata is VERY impressive.
Honestly I want all of them but I’ll go with the sonata because it’s pretty quick and launch isn’t everything
@@ChumpChangeIndustries I've had the N line since May and it's an absolutely amazing car. If Hyundai just gave us a limited slip differential it would be the complete package. Otherwise it's an excellent ride and really surprises a lot of people.
I’m pretty sure the 2nd lap was a sport + which the accord doesn’t have.
@@SaintsSF90 likely. 👍✌️
A Hyundai is never “impressive”. It’s cheap crap. Same with Kia. Crap.
Finally ! I drag race I can truly afford
I'm not sure but if the K5 GT consistently outperforms the Sonata N-Line in this particular drag race mission the difference may be Hyundai's decision to lean toward a more premium vibe with a softer launch compared to the KIA's decision to accept more torque steer while emphasizing performance in their GT model. It's noteworthy that the Sonata's greatest advantage was in the rolling start comparison where its larger, stronger 2.5L engine was already engaged.
If he wouldn’t have changed the rpms it makes a difference
That may be true. Looking at several video tests of the K5 GT and Sonata N Line, it seems the reviewers usually have more difficulty getting a good launch from the Sonata vs the Kia. Watching the reviewer trying to get a good launch from the Sonata during the Redline review was downright comical.
It doesn’t I’ve beaten k5 gt’s with my sonata.
That accord is a different breed
It's nice to see Hyundai make great strides over the years. I currently own a 2013 Sonata 2.0t Limited which was their sport version at the time. I can say this while it might not be the fastest car out there but it has certainly surprised a few people and I had it up to 150mph once.
Sure you do lol loser alert radar on high
@@titusrome2863 your so lame
@@titusrome2863Can’t imagine you have a car talking like that. Only loser here is yourself neckbeard warrior.
You need a walkie talkie to communicate with the other drivers for better sync and timing.
We have 3
Thanks for the comparison! That Accord having the smallest engine/HP is a BEAST!!
The Accord (Sport trim 3330 lb , Touring 3430 lbs) are also the lightest and likely underrated.. I think theyre making what the TLX 2.0t is rated at ..which is 272 hp and 280 lb-ft. So once you account pw/wt , theyre fairly similar. And well, we all know there is replacement for displacement 😂
@@M4B21S88 TURBO!!! LOL!
I'm still grateful that alot of people still don't know that the accord has a detuned type r motor. Very simple tunes make it a sleeper monster which is awesome
@Nugsie where can you get that done?
@@dmmusicmusic where can you get an engine tune for the accord? Depends where you live but a quick Google search should suffice.
@@truly_I_say thks, if I buy one will keep in mind, not that I'd really need it but wth, yolo.
The Accord is a beast with the least hp!
Texas ?
Hell yeah those cars don't need a bunch of horsepower they just run so damn good. From point A to point b there's nothing better on the road. The only one that can compete is the Toyota Corolla and Camry are very good cars also. But they put everything else to shame. Nissan used to be good decades ago but they fell to the wayside... I've always been a big Honda Civic Si person, 8th generation 9th & 10th! I decided to trade in my 2019 Honda Civic SI for the 2020 Honda Accord 2.0t touring. Both cars are extremely nice comfortable very good seating position & engaging to drive. My wife likes the Accord because of the automatic transmission & she can actually drive it but when it comes to having fun & hauling ass I had them both tuned on K-tuner they're very close in speed. For me I like both of them VERY well probably a tie, the Accord probably looks a little more grown up & has lil more room. Both of them are hella reliable I don't think you can go wrong if you take care of them🚗💨
And light. I love my 1.5. And being 1.8 seconds slower in a 0-60 is amazing. And switch it to Econ and it great on gas.
it’s the 10 speed transmission that makes it so damn good
The k20c4 in the accord makes more hp then what it's officially rated at.
You have to race k5 gt vs n line 🤩👏

Nline wins
Sonata N Line is the one for me, if I had to buy one of these front wheel drive 4 bangers. Love Hyundai and Genesis.
That sonata surprised me
Can you do with the Honda CR-V 1.5T, the Mazda CX5 2.5 and the Outlander 2.4? Thank you!!^^
Great races! Exactly what I wanted to see. Still trying to negotiate with Kia dealers regarding a new K5 GT as opposed to the GT1 which is about $5K more at close to $37K. The Hyundai sales people were annoying me. Accord is a great car, don't get me wrong, but these are the shiny new objects at the moment. I would not be surprised if Honda and Toyota are watching these and maybe taking some notes for the next generation models coming down the Pike. You are really the only one that is actually comparing all of these cars head to head. I guess Throttlehouse but they never figured out how to launch it correctly, not to mention the sub-zero conditions and a brand new car.
Thank you! More drags to come :)
@@SamCarLegion So, I did not get the K5 GT. Instead, yesterday I traded my 18 Accord Sport 2.0 for the Sonata Nline. So far, it is fantastic so hopefully that will continue. One thing is definite, the driver assist cruise control is significantly better. The car pretty much drives itself whereas the Accord ping pongs you between lanes before it all together just stops working.
@@mikescallon4288 Hey, if you don’t mind if you see this how is the N-line now? I purchased my 2021 SEL in May2021, nearing 1year ownership and wanting the sportier model…. Any issues or problems you’ve run into?
That 10Speed really makes a big difference keeping it on it's power band!
@Josue Ayala yupp!!!
I prefer my Segway. Acceleration unparalleled and near light speed. Donuts are good for your health fellas.
I’ve heard the Camry pulls a lot of power to avoid wheel spin even with TC turned off which makes sense, the v6 puts out over 300hp on the dyno but by the looks of it gets limited
Dynos don’t mean a thing. One dyno can say 220 another dyno will spit out 270. 1/4 mile trap speed is the best indicator of power and a Camry is not trapping higher than an accord.
Torque is the more important metric here. The naturally aspirated 2GR isn't going to offer the kind of low-RPM torque the turbocharged engines will as these cars rack through gears. Remember, power is a measure of the work being done. It's mathematically derived. Torque is a measure of how hard it's turning, the force applied. HP = (RPM * lb-ft) / 5252. The torque the engine delivers depends on its RPM, and as RPM goes up so to ultimately does power. That engine is putting out way less than 300 HP for most of the time it spends accelerating because the engine isn't spinning fast enough to reach that point except at the very end of each gear before then immediately shifting down again. This sort of race is the domain of forced induction engines and electric motors.
Lol buddy aint no camry putting 300hp on a dyno, they are only 302 to the crank.
I love the Accord 2.0T & the Sonata Nline 2.5T, wish the driver of the Sonata had a better reaction time so we can see how close the Accord & Sonata come.
Accord and Hyundai did very very well..Camry dissapointed me having 301hp should have been closer..that turbo torque helps a bunch
LOL..........
I've seen that horse power doesn't mean much. Torque is the secret. Also, turbo gives a boost.
They claim 301 crank but when put on the dyno those new Camrys make less wheel power then the older camrys lol.
@@omarrod71 My 2009 V6 beats the 2020 TRD don’t know what Toyota is putting out there lol
@@DylanGarciaaa I think it's the tune from factory. Once you tune the new camrys they wake up.
I wish you were doing these drag races 11 years ago when i bought my VW Passat 3.6 SEL VR6. Would’ve love to see a Passat VR6 vs an Accord V6 vs a Camry V6. 😄
I love my 2021 Honda Accord 2.0t Sport. More and more mid-size sedans are using turbos as opposed to asperated engines.
Until they breakdown. So expensive to repair. I miss the v6 Accord.
Seriously, that accord is something else. Honda for sure under-clocked the numbers on that car. Easily one of the best family sedans in the segment, if not the best.
They should have switched cars to be sure it wasn’t a driver who sucks . Lol

@@hewhoislikegod333 he's referring to the TRD Aurion which was only made for the Australia/New Zealand market.
Can you do the Nissan Maxima SR vs Dodge Charger R/T vs Toyota Avalon XSE & Kia Stinger GT1
With some computer tuning the results I am sure will be different but the Honda really is a well rounded car. The Toyota with the v6 will do best for those who live more in hilly areras because of the larger displacement. Hyundai and kia are making great strides in improving their products.
السوناتا ذي دخلت القلب على طول😿😿
This one is much more accurate to my experience with my N-line then the throttle house race that had the n-line way at the back. The 600lb lighter weight of the accord and its more tuned traction control really let it take off out the line easily, but that 8 speed and the turbo setup in the n-line make it punch way above its weight in almost any rolling race.
You’re not just wrong, you’re 110% wrong. Accord Curb Weight: 3430 lbs. N Line Curb Weight: 3552 lbs. Where are you pulling “600 lbs” from? It’s hardly a 100 lb difference. The Accord is better period.
@@HondaAccordPerformance wouldn’t say one is better than the other they are on par sonata is faster bc it walks the accord and the fk8. And the interior is better I just like the front end of the accord more than the sonata

Cool video. Love the Accord.
Test the Accord with Hondata Stage 2, traction and launch control. The Accord is also notoriously quick off the line with a handbrake launch (Brake Hold).
Interesting
The "N Line" isn't an official "N", correct?
Yes it is not N
Hyundai needs to do something about the two different lines because it makes no sense. If they added a louder exhaust and more sporty detailing you literally could call this Sonata an N. I did read the other day that Hyundai was thinking about dropping the "N" in the future and moving everything to "N line" in terms of branding, but who knows.
I think you should get another drive for the Sonata NLine. That did looked “lost”...
Sonata NLIne loose regardless who drives it. See "Throttle House" KZhead channel since they ran the same cars against each other and the Sonata still got beat.

@@fredmcgrif Maybe Toyota should get with the times. The NA V6 that they've been using for the last 20 years isn't cutting the mustard.
But Camry is most reliable. Good working horse. If you guys want fast Camry you can go with Lexus GSF. Of course it’s not fastest in its class but still fun to drive. NA V 8 and sounds great. Natural V 8 sound can’t be compared with v6 turbo.
It's for sure the most reliable with no turbo
Toyota is now powerless
It would be nice to see a race where all three vehicles have aftermarket tunes. Honda has the least HP but probably some of the best tunability of the three vehicles.

The N line is hell of a beast. Best car for tuning. This coming from someone who owned a accord 2.0T civic Si and Elantra N

Good catch shqipe
The Kia K5 GT is definitely more consistent than the Sonata N Line! Good race overall. Is this the beginning of the end for V6 engines? 👀
The beginning of the end for V6 engines began some time ago. In this particular case the 2.5L turbo that Hyundai, KIA, and Genesis are offering in at least 7(!) different vehicles appears to be an especially strong win/win with more power and better fuel economy than comparable V6 versions.
Honda stop long ago
No it's not the end for the v6 engine, if u look at the numbers the camry v6 gets just as good of fuel economy as the honda and that's what it's about. Besides toyota uses this v6 in other products.
@@mikeharris7261 I'm not arguing the value of a V6 engine. I'm talking about its market appeal. For example, less than 5% (!) of all Camrys are sold with its naturally aspirated V6. That's a major reason that Toyota doesn't offer AWD with that engine. The appeal of a V6 in a midsize sedan is simply not sufficient to justify the cost of design and production.
@@stephenhendricks103 Same could be said about honda when its v6 was in production. Yeah they went turbo but still they're not unloading a lot of up level or touring models either.
The Sonata N-Line use an Dual-Clutch Transmission, the computar doesn't let you do that because you can damage the clutch. Instead, the car has an launch control system that help you with that. It's true that the Sonata doesn't launch that well, too much power to the front tires, it's an aggressive engine after all. But, thank you anyways to show what Hyundao can do today.
The launch control worked only twice properly then it said system fail probably to protect the engine and transmission. Kia K5 cares very little lol just goes
@@SamCarLegion I actually saw the K5 you guys run, and I can see that the K5 put the power to the ground more efficiently. Like you said, is not the first time that tje launch control fail in testing, sometimes doesn't put the power to the wheel at all. But, we can say at the end that the Sonata N-Line and Kia K5 are making history for the brand. The performances almost go equal to that of the Veloster N and Civic Type R.
Too much power? Funny...we have type R's running fine with 400hp
@@Hondaddy yea and the type R has an LSD. These have open diffs, the point being they have too much power for their configuration because it doesn't get to the road effectively off the line
I own a 2021 sonata nline. It doesn't hard launch very well at all. It does better with a gentle roll on the throttle. Sometimes less is more. This is a car you really have to know how to launch or you just get spinning and wheel hop. Also summer tires make a big difference the all seasons suck can't get any traction.
Hyundai the winner for me and it looks better in my opinion.Did you adjust the revs on the steering wheel for launch?

@@SamCarLegion Sonata owner. (Not n line) can confirm the car does hate launches. It's the dct engine. Some times the clutch will catch right away, some times it's delayed. According to Hyundai the way to launch their dct engine cars is to hold both the brake and gas down at the same time for like 3 seconds then release the brake. (Which is what he said at the end). Cannot confirm if doing that can cause it to successfully launch every time.
Agreed. At this point he need to just quit freaking trying cause it’s annoying
@@jair2776 lol I’m a sonata n line owner, na do doesn’t have that taking off issue!
I would like to see that accord racing a type r
that appears 2 be a lot of fun.3 good cars...
@samcarlegion I notice everyone concentrates on the Honda, Toyota, etc when it comes to mid size sedans. What about a drag race video with the Subaru Legacy touring XT versus one or two of these.
No point
I love my sonata after now
Hyundai has simply hobbled the Sonata N line and K5 GT so as not to cannibalize sales from the Genesis G70 and Stinger...think about it these cars are already getting sub 5.5 second 0-60 if launched right imagine what they can do with AWD and a proper launch control....
4.8-5.0 reported by others.
The accord has a detuned version of the current Type r's engine, nice car.
Seems like Hyundai needs to tweak some things with the sonata. K5 gt was kicking ass
Please test K5 GT, Camry, Accord, Mazda6. Thanks you team very much.
I can only imagine how fast the Acura type S are gonna be
😂
4.5sec 0-60mph
@@phonoodles7002 its 5 seconds but fastest time was 4.9 that I have timed
@@coolsquad7428 nop, already 4.7 with a passenger !!
TLX Type S is around 4.5 seconds, Sofyan did 4.7 seconds with extra passenger.
Could you please Dyno the Accord and Camry? Results got me doubting.
I would say something the accord launches slower if you brake torque it because it sort of does a launch control and the 10 speed minimizes the wheel spin making it launch slower I think that just flooring it is better but it would have a little more wheel spin “ depending on the conditions” 😅🥴
Accord launch is only slow if you mash down on the gas and max out the RPM, that would give you wheel spin for days. 2k rpm brake boost launch is the sweet spot and is faster than just flooring it off the line no launch
