2020 Hyundai Sonata vs Toyota Camry XSE // Challenger Meets Champion 

Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks for an amazing year. Go follow us on Instagram and James will post a photo of him at 17 with his first car looking like an idiot as a Christmas present

These intros are getting more ridiculous as they come 😂😂😂

“This is why my mum doesn’t believe we have real jobs” I felt that. I legit felt that.

The interior of the Sonata is wonderful and the exterior is, well, daring in a way. Camry is just a nice quiet well-built car.

Hyundai is a game changer. As a 1st time Hyundai buyer, I am impressed by Hyundai..love it! Keep up with good work!

Korean car makers can learn very fast, especially in terms of design.

I like the interior of the Sonata 👍

I've owned a 2011 Sonata for a few years now and everyone always thinks it's less than a year old because the style has held up well over time. It's spacious and get great gas mileage. Also has some tech features the Accord and Camry of the same year never had. Love it! The new one is so futuristic- that Camry dashboard and especially the gauge cluster look so dated.

Crossovers are like modern day HBO writers . They destroy everything u ever loved. Savage😆😄

CAMRY : Design for 2009 SONATA : Design for 2029. This is the difference.

My mom has the 2020 Hyundai Sonata Limited and we love it it is a great car and is very comfy

I just bought myself the 2021 Sonata and its and absolute joy. First ever car purchase, couldnt be happier

“You wanna killed by somebody wearing this sweater?” Best joke ever

The Koreans are killing it! Can’t wait for the Kia Optima

This "catfish" look is starting to grow on me pretty nicely

Best car reviews out there everybody else is so generic does the same thing and at this point has become cliche... nobody has the inventiveness what you do and the true feeling of gratitude to do what you do thank you

New Sonata looks like Ultraman

A decade down the line, Camry will still be running strong with good resale value.

You forgot something very important: When Toyota launches the new Camry the sonata will still be in warranty.

I was down to these two cars. Went with a 2020 Sonata Limited. From the USA so we don't have the rear heated seats though. BOSE stereo is much better than the JBL in the Toyota. Just couldn't pass up all the tech the Sonata offered. Had it since 12/6 and have no regrets.

Is it just me or someone else also feels the closer you get to the Camry XSE, the more you realize it is not actually as crazy and badly styled as it looks from a distance. Those corners actually do come together to make a very well built car. Did anyone else notice that?

Cost of ownership is more important to me than eye candy.

That hatchback Photoshop seriously looks great

Sonata is amazing!!! the car to future!!!

Line of the video... "Do you want to get killed by someone wearing this sweater"... had me rolling.

“You want to get killed by someone in this sweater” 😂😂😂

I haven’t driven the new Sonata but I saw one the other day. They did a nice refresh on the platform, can’t wait to see the new N version. It will have dual injection, GDI + port to help keep your valves cleaner.

This was a solid fair review. Of course the Sonata will have newer tech since is years late to the party but what makes the Camry great and still a leader is its reputation for build quality, reliability and resale value can be enjoyed with a car thats now genuinely fun to drive and good looking.

I wonder if this Sonata will be up and running in 20 years? They certainly have improved styling.

Hey Throttle House. ICYMI, the Camry AWD will offer a heated steering wheel with the cold weather package according to Toyota’s website

I love that you guys still review cars normal people can actually buy.

just got the 2020 camry xse in pearl white as my first car I absolutely love this car it's so much more than I could've ever wished for as my first car my favorite color is red so you can imagine the excitement I get every time I see that beautiful red interior

"which seems to be employing most of the local towns" XD I live in alabama, this statement is true for all their locations here.

You guys as well as Savagegeese are the best car you tubers hands down imo. Loved the vid

I feel like the new Kia Optima & Cadenza refresh/re-design takes the cake over the Sonata.

The introductions are the reason why I always click to watch.

The Camry is an astounding car and that is coming from someone that owns a W211 E350 and E92 328 Stage 1 coupe. I drove a 2022 over 2000kms through Vermont, New Hampshire and Upstate NY and was utterly relaxed, comfortable and in control The car handled the twisting notches of Vermont with confidence, carved tight backroads with minimal body roll, had enough power to do passing maneuvers at 75mph+ and on top of that, got incredible fuel economy. At elevation and sustained speeds of 70+mph, I saw 30mpg continuously, even touching 35mpg.. The seats were unbearably comfortable, on par with the best BMW thrones, the tech worked flawlessly and the transmission was quick reacting and unobtrusive. Even the engine sounded good, for a 4 cylinder and power was more than adequate even driving spiritedly and through the Green and White Mountains where elevations push 1200m+. Lastly, the base sound system was completely satisfactory. The JBL would be a good deal better, I'm sure but as someone who has the HK in the Mercedes and a tweaked Logic 7 in the E92, the Camry's audio quality was inoffensive and totally acceptable. I would buy one in a heartbeat!

I've loved the new Sonata since day one. It turns heads.

The intro😂 The interior and the tech of the Sonata is on a whole other level Hyundai's knocking it out of the park these days

Sonata have great design🤤👌

I got the 2020 camry xse 4cl a month ago and it is perfect

I love the sonata. The lights on the sonata just look so good.

As a guy who isn't as keen on modern advancements, I prefer the Camry. I own a 2020 Camry SE and love it. Stylish, good enough power when needed, spacious, and I know it'll last forever.

The head chef at Waffle House no offense to any head chefs at Waffle House I appreciate what y’all doing but god that’s hilarious

For some reason the 2020 Sonata Limited for the US doesn’t have rear heated seats. No idea why Canada versus US is different when they’re made at the same factory and the northern states have the same colder climate...

The XSE only has 2 functional exhaust pipes. The other 2 are just welded next to the real ones but aren't connected to anything behind it. So many good mid size sedans these days can't really go wrong with any of them. For my money though I'd take the Mazda6.

"...the S line, the R line,... they lying..." 😂 Nice word play 👍🏾

I cant wait for Hyundai to release the Sonata N

"This camry has ALL the bells and whistles" .......no heads up display, no v6, no birds eye view 360 camera, no JBL stereo, no ventilated seats.... 🤦‍♂️

I'm a pretty big Hyundai fan -- from the early 2000s. It's nice to see what they are doing now, although I miss the simplicity of their older cars. That said, if / when Toyota makes a Camry with AWD it could be a gamer changer. Aside from Subaru, with their CVTs, you really can't get an AWD sedan unless you go into the luxury market. Although I suppose the new Mazda3 would be an exception to that (in the compact category). Anyway, it's great to see this trend. I really love AWD -- don't think I can ever go back to FWD or RWD only. I live in the rainy pacific northwest and don't like one-wheel-peels when I take off. And AWD is a nice option for going up into the mountains (for skiing) or out into the state parks (for shooting guns). hehe.

Bro Hyundai really pumping out the newer look vehicles

Totally agree about a Sonata hatchback. The hybrid in the final few vehicles I’m considering for my next business vehicle and if they had a hatchback it would be the winner hands down.

I laughed my ass off when he said it looked like a catfish . It absolutely does! Good job guys. You make it fun to check out the reviews! I'm hooked!

The Camry looks awesome and the Sonata looks alright. I like the interior led blue light glowing in the Camry. Feels cool. But Sonata is my most favorite not by speed or look but I love and focus more on the tech and features it has. Also the moon roof. Sonata Limited is my dream car.

To be honest I prefer the camry for a simple reason it will not break down 😅 specifically with the 4 cylinder engine because for decades the camry was and I think will always be the better choice for the long term.

Camry for resale value and reliability. Hyundai for warranty and tech. 🤔

These guys actually pronounce "Hyundai" (H-yunnn-day) correctly, kudos.

I'd rather have the Sonata. I may be a little bit bias though lol since I've had 3 Hyundai's. It's the Reliability, Technology and looks for me.

Not sure what’s going on at Hyundai and Kia but quality and designs of their cars have been going up i credibly in last few years.

Sonata looks stylish. Camry looks sturdy. But I’d buy the Sonata if I had to pick one.

So interesting how I just drove past that Hyundai plant today heading back home!! its huge!!

A hatchback Sonata would be really good i think. Both are nice cars. Really nice reviews guys. Nice intro as well.

I have the 2020 sonata glowing yellow it turns heads especially at a red light all I do is smile to myself and keep it moving to the next light or stop sign..

Thank the 2 BMW engineers at the Hyundai Motor Group as they are giving the Germans a decent run for their money. Years ago I never thought I would say "They are killing it ,Well done keep making excellent cars ".

"This is why my mom doesn't believe we have real jobs" hilarious

I can’t wait to rent the sonata.

8:20 that estate Sonata looked very sick. 😍

It’s crazy how much these regular everyday passenger cars have stepped up compared to the same cars 10 years ago.

Camry is getting more boring design wise. Sonata is killing it..

On my birthday! A great gift to get a brand new throttle house video!

I’d love to see a comparison of the base models of each!

Merry Christmas, guys!

Love Hyundai’s, they feel higher quality, better warranty, better tech, all for a better price

Camry for me, but i do like some of the tech in the sonata.

lol he said he likes cream interior

First. Love the videos James and Thomas 🙌🏻

I don’t like the fact that they don’t talk about fuel economy, driving characteristics, handling, road noise.

These guys have the right chemistry. They understand timing and humor.

Kind of funny that James got the year we get the new Camry right on just a random riff

Had the sonata as a rental. Drove nice but these rental companies don’t option them at all. Have also had a sonata renta that was full optioned with a panoramic sunroof. Turbocharged. That car was pretty nice.

Both cars are great. The Camry has been a mainstay for years. But the Hyundai Sonata has made great strides over the years and they're killing it with their new vehicles lately. Can't beat the warranty either.

I love both of these cars. Toyota Camry is beautiful and so is the Hyundai Sonata. I would get both of them if I could.

James is probably the only car reviewer on RU-vid to actually pronounce "Hyundai" correctly.

One of these Camry XSE pulled up next to me while I was getting gas. The exhaust was only coming out of the inside pipes and not the outside ones. The outside ones are blocked off.

Hands down sonata, it looks amazing !

There are rear heated seats, heated steering wheel, and heads up display in the Camry for the United States.

I like to sonata 2018 ❤️❤️

One thing to add is that in Canada - you have to pay around $2500 to get a warranty that matches what you get on a Hyundai as standard. All Hyundai cars come with 2/40,000Km more bumper to bumper warranty. So it is something to consider when talking about comparing the Genesis/Hyundai/Kia group to all the other makers.

Just bought a brand sonata in the same color best car I’ve ever owned

Doesn’t the Camry with a head up display on some models

"...which means this is the best." Now hold on there. You haven't driven the N-Line yet

Iam going with Camry 100% ..long live the crown 👑 ❤

Note: the heated rear seats are not available in the United States. There is no Ultimate package for the Sonata, just the Limited. I believe rear heated seats are available (or standard) for the N-Line. I never looked into the Hybrid options. I LOVE my 2021 Limited! It's such a fun ride! The torque pull really surprised me in a great way! Great Video guys!!

Y’all are actually top 5 in car reviews

FIRST Merry Christmas to you guys and thx for your awesome videos . FOR ME 2020 Hyundai Sonata IS BETTER

Why was I thinking that the XSE trim was a V6-only option? I just hope the Hybrid is also available in XSE trim here in Europe! It looks great! The Sonata also looks great, even though the rear end reminds me somewhat of the Honda Civic Sedan, only with a double light bar! But it actually looks more luxurious than the Camry inside! Merry Christmas!

"solid" vs "playful" - had the same dillema with women

I love my Sonata, the only thing I hate about it is that it comes with Blue Link. They really need to ditch that and go with something better, it's SUCH a pain to deal with if you don't own the latest model: features start dropping off and their website is terrible to the point that I can't even purchase a subscription for it without calling them because the website is broken and won't display a package for me to select.

"... This is why my mom doesn't believe that we have real jobs." I felt that.

The Sonata is very upscale and feature packed. It drives really really nicely and I cant wait for the N-Line with over 100 more hp (at least 290) and over 100 more tq (at 310). Hyundai has been upping its game with features and quality interiors!
