2014 Honda Accord vs 2014 Hyundai Sonata

2014 Hyundai Sonata

The 2014 Hyundai Sonata’s breakout into the mid-sized car segment in 1985 was met with some skepticism. In the years since, however, all doubt in the quality of Hyundai vehicles have been replaced with the reality of superior craftsmanship and engineering excellence. The recent facelift for the Sonata includes noticeable exterior augmentations as well as additions to the interior, including optional touchscreen display for audio systems.

Vehicle Highlights 2.4L, 4-Cylinder, GDI with Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing Engine A fuel economy as low as 7.3L/100 Km combined Awarded the 2014 5-Star Overall Crash Safety Rating by NHTSA Available in a fuel efficient hybrid model

The 2014 Hyundai Sonata maintains a stylish, sporty look that would have easily suited their luxury segment and instead maintains a leading position in its segment.

2014 Honda Accord

Honda has made a name for itself by disrupting the sedan market with forceful, elegant cars that give their driver the same confidence they have in life when they are behind the wheel. With an impressive repertoire of accolades awarded to it over the years, it’s a wonder where exactly this year’s model went astray. While there are features on the Accord that are practical and express its individuality, the 2014 model can’t seem to get beyond cars with parallel features from other manufacturers. The 2014 Honda Accord seems if not a bit under-designed, the body lacking the impressive accents that would have given it a unique personality. As a result of this the 2014 Honda Accord is difficult to spot and has a tendency of blending in with other cars.

The Honda Accord’s 2014 heir supports its long history but does so without adding any remarkable features or providing reasons for other manufacturers to learn from it.

Important design decisions went into making the 2014 Hyundai Sonata the midsized car it is today while ensuring its place in the future. Whether this is going to be your family car or your business car, onlookers will remember the iconic Sonata.
