For years, the Toyota Camry has been the dominant force in the mid-size segment, known for its reliability, value, and consistent performance. Its global success helped solidify Toyota’s reputation as a trusted automaker. But things changed when Hyundai introduced the redesigned 2011 Sonata—a bold, stylish alternative that quickly gained traction among buyers looking for more modern design and tech features at a lower price.

Boring is out and stylish is in for the Toyota Camry.

### Exterior Styling The 2015 Camry received a major redesign, moving beyond a simple refresh. Toyota added over 2,000 new parts and introduced the XSE trim, which brings a sportier look inspired by Lexus. With a new hourglass grille, unique wheels, and enhanced suspension, this version of the Camry is clearly targeting younger, more performance-oriented buyers. Meanwhile, Hyundai stuck with its “Fluidic Sculpture” design language but refined it for a more premium feel. Some say the new Sonata looks like an Audi, and with its sharp lines and sleek profile, it’s hard to argue. Hyundai also announced a Sport 2.0T model featuring aggressive styling elements and a powerful turbocharged engine.

Hyundai has done a great job with the styling on this Sport 2.0T model. Is it enough to unseat the king? Nope.

### Interior Changes Inside, the 2015 Camry offers a more driver-focused cockpit with improved materials and technology. A new 4.2-inch TFT screen sits between the analog gauges, giving drivers better access to vehicle information without taking their eyes off the road. The seats are softer, and controls feel more premium. Hyundai also upgraded its interior, especially for the sport models. The Sonata Sport 2.0T includes a D-cut steering wheel, paddle shifters, and a sporty instrument cluster. While the Sonata's cabin is refined, the Camry still holds an edge in material quality and overall luxury.

### Performance And Driving Experience Toyota claims the 2015 Camry is its best-driving model ever, with a stiffer chassis, improved braking system, and wider track for better handling. It also promises a quieter cabin and more responsive steering. Hyundai focused on improving stability and responsiveness, particularly with the revised rear suspension. The 2.0L turbocharged engine now delivers more torque at lower RPMs, making it more efficient and powerful for daily driving. ### Safety Features Both cars come standard with a comprehensive suite of safety features, including forward collision warning, blind spot detection, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking. These features help keep drivers and passengers safe on the road. ### Unique Features Toyota introduces a wireless charging pad for compatible phones, while Hyundai offers a smart trunk that opens automatically when you stand behind it with your key fob. Apple CarPlay is also available on the Sonata, giving it a tech edge.
