Honda Accord Vs. Hyundai Sonata DRAG RACE! 

Yeah good idea! We're trying to incorporate more rolling races for our newer videos :)

Happy to have been able to set up a race that was suggested to us and glad you enjoyed it! Much more to come :)

Yeah absolutely! Your Sonata will beat any 2.4L Accord up to 2012, and possibly up to 2017 as well - Honda put a 2.4L engine in the Accords up until 2017. Although from 2013-2017 they did have a CVT transmission though too so that might make a difference. We’re trying to secure the newer Sonata and Accord and line them up, as both are turbocharged. Agreed though, both vehicles are great options for mid sized sedans 😃

@@KingdomAuto it also depends on weight too my guy

@@accordlegend2925 Of course it does, which is likely why the Sonata has as much of an advantage as it does, being lighter than the Accord. We mentioned this in the video.

@@KingdomAuto then what am I saying?

@@accordlegend2925 Lol honestly, not a clue 😂 was hoping you would explain

Yeah that would have been interesting. We just figured that, because the Sonata won by such a huge margin, that we would just call it a day. We usually only do rolling races with the really close matchups. But that said, this is a good suggestion, and one we'll keep in mind for future races, thanks :)

@@KingdomAuto Yeah, like I said in another comment, I have a 2010 Accord Coupe with this transmission and engine. This car isn't "floor it and go", but rather acceleration takes skill to work around the VTEC power RPM range. For example, manually keeping it in 1st, holding the pedal at about 60% throttle until VTEC engages, then punching it can actually be faster than flooring it!

@@JustinDaniels Yep I actually used to own the exact Accord in this video (Josh speaking) so I know exactly what you mean; I used to do that for fun, hold it in gear and rev it out more/start accelerating at a higher RPM, etc. It definitely makes a difference for sure! Just don't think anything would have been enough to keep up with that Sonata haha. The 6 speed transmission in the Sonata makes a huge difference too, so it would be really interesting to see the newer Accord's (up till 2017) with the CVT's in the 1/4 mile. Same (ish) engine but having the CVT can keep it in the powerband better.

@@KingdomAuto Please do 2017 3.5L V6 Accord vs current gen turbo 2.0L.

@@JustinDaniels That would be a fun one. We can get the 2.0L but haven't found a 3.5 V6 yet. We'll work on it though and do what we can :)

That woulda been fantastic 😁

Yeah that Sonata has quite a bit of power for sure

Funny enough we literally just landed one of those a couple weeks ago :) we’re gonna try and line it up against a Lexus GS 350 this summer. We’re really curious to see how it does, those V6 engines were sleepers with over 300HP. We’re hoping we can make it happen! Thanks for your recommendation :)

Yep not too shabby for an economy family Sedan!

Thanks for your suggestion :) we’ve got an Elantra Vs. a Pontiac Vibe out now right here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f6IRdpARzFM.html And we are also trying to line up a bunch of economy cars for this upcoming season as well :) we want to get a Mazda 3, Honda Civic, Elantra and possibly others as well :) Granted, the ones we have secured aren’t brand new but they’ll be new enough to get a good feel for how the different brands perform. Either way, thanks again and stay tuned because there’s lots more to come!

I was gonna ask for this lol, I have a 2017 Mazda 3 hatch so I def would love to see it

@@odysseus542 We’ve found a 2015 Mazda 3 sedan that’s available this summer, we’re gonna try and get that out against a few things :)

@@KingdomAuto awesome nice to see some Mazdas keep up the good work!!

@@cruzito4life571 Thanks so much! Yeah we thought so too - as of now we've only had a Mazda 5 out there (video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l8OeM5k-rbc.html&ab_channel=KingdomAutoConsulting) But we are trying to get more as well. So far we've got a CX-5 and a Mazda 3 ready to go for this upcoming season :)

Could be an interesting match! Those Volvo’s are tough to find out our way but we’d be happy to feature one if we could get our hands on it :)

Many more to come :)

nice spoiler

@@EndritBajramiEshte21 ahhha I didn’t think bro 😂😂

That would be an interesting race! As of now, we haven't been able to get our hands on either of those specific vehicles, but if we do, we'll line up the race for sure :)

Sonata for the win

You mean Accord 2.0t vs Sonata N Line? I'm a Honda guy but the Sonata wins.

@@gmanbaz No he’s referring to the previous gen Accord’s that came with the V6 engine. They don’t make the Accord available with a V6 anymore but they were sleepers though, very unassuming yet surprisingly fast. One of those might give a 2.0t Sonata a run for it’s money. Hard to say for sure but either way it would make for an interesting race!

Yep you nailed that one! We were quite surprised at the difference between the two in the 1/4 mile considering how similar they are on paper but yeah those gears/transmissions make a huge difference

Seems like a fun race! Yeah if we can find those vehicles (or same generation of the two) then for sure we'll line them up :)

Both brands definitely have their pros and cons for sure. In terms of the features and bells/whistles you get for your money, the Hyundai takes the cake. But for reliability (at least with their naturally aspirated engines) Honda is the better option. Hyundai has come so far in the past few years though, they’ve really done a great job with their newer models!

@@KingdomAuto Agreed

@@md2k8 doesn't last as long. Depends what you want I guess. 😂

Yeah for sure the sonata is better in only one thing and that's catching fire just lost my car 5 months ago which caught fire on its own thank God I got out of it on time called 911 by the time the fire truck arrived the car was already destroyed/finished with fire it was 2014 with 72000 miles on it never will I buy a huyndai again back to Honda and Toyota only don't care about the extra features huyndai offers for less price atleast Hondas and Toyotas dont catch fire own there own

I agree I have a 2017 sonata 2.4. I do think Hondas are made to last longer even though my interior is still very nice.

Not at all, they made that exact Accord till 2012, and from 2013-2017 it came with the same engine but was even slower because they came with CVT’s Not apples to oranges at all - the Accord we had is even quicker than the newer ones so it had a better shot at the win. A manual would have potentially been faster but then that would also be “apples to oranges” because the Sonata was auto

That could be an interesting one for sure. We haven’t found a Sentra at the current time but if we do, we’ll get it out to the track :)

@@KingdomAuto ok thanks

@@KingdomAuto I find that my dads Honda minivan is way faster than my Sentra because of how much powerful the engine is in my dads van

@@delixjagman4535 Yeah some of those vans have a decent amount of power and can be quite quick when there’s no passengers in them

@@KingdomAuto yeah

Yeah agreed, the Accord seems to do very well in the top end of the RPM range as it picks up speed. We didn’t even think to do a rolling race when we filmed this because the Sonata won by such a big margin. But looking back on it, we definitely should have to see if the gap was any smaller. We try to run rolling races more frequently with our newer videos :)

In this case, no. Both cars are hardly even strong enough to spin their tires on the launch. The only aspect left to the driver is to simply put our foot all the way down on the gas and see what happens. The Sonata was much faster than the Accord in this case - nothing could have changed the outcome of this race :)

@@KingdomAuto thought they are both standards transmissions, but yeah you right

@@Mandan...77t Oh gotcha, yeah that makes sense. Yeah both vehicles in this race were auto, standard woulda been more fun though :)

no the sonatas are just way faster tbh. i had a 2013 accord coupe now i have a 2013 sonata and the sonata is alot faster

Depends which engine/transmission combo, the 2013’s still came with a 2.4L engine with a bit less power than the one we used in this video. On top of that, they only came with a CVT or manual transmission. So maybe if the 2.4 was paired with the 6 speed manual, then it would have a chance, but not likely with the CVT, as they made the car quite slow.

There’s lots more coming, just busy with family/renovating our whole house. Unfortunately it doesn’t leave a lot of time for video editing. On the plus side, the bulk of it is done which means soon back on track for a couple videos every month :)

@@KingdomAuto I’m sure in the future you guys will become a big channel just we want more videos 1month(9video) will be good

@@sametyldrm8837 Thanks, we want the same thing as well - just that family will always come first, for both Miranda and I :) But we'll definitely be doing our best to keep at this series for sure

We were surprised as well

Just how ridiculous are we talking here Freddie? What level of ridiculousness are we hovering around? Please let us know 😎😎
