The Camry made its entrance first, sporting the XSE sport package.

For years, the Toyota Camry has been the top-selling mid-size sedan in America, known for its reliability, comfort, and value. It helped build Toyota’s reputation as a trusted automaker. But that dominance started to waver when Hyundai introduced the redesigned Sonata in 2011. The Sonata brought bold styling, advanced tech, and competitive pricing, quickly gaining traction among buyers.

The Sonata followed shortly after, showing off its fresh design.

At this year's New York Auto Show, both brands are stepping up their game. The 2015 Camry gets a significant overhaul, while the Sonata continues to refine its luxury and performance offerings. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s new.

The new Camry is more stylish and sporty than ever.

### Exterior Design Toyota took a bold step with the 2015 Camry, introducing over 2,000 new parts and a brand-new XSE sport trim. This model features a distinctive, Lexus-like grille, along with 18-inch wheels, firmer suspension, and improved handling. The goal? To attract younger, sportier buyers who previously opted for the SE or sport trims. Meanwhile, Hyundai maintained its "Fluidic Sculpture" design language but refined it for a more premium look. Some say it even resembles an Audi. The Sonata Sport 2.0T adds aggressive styling elements like a unique rear bumper, quad exhausts, and 18-inch alloy wheels, aiming to appeal to driving enthusiasts.

The Sonata's rear is sleek and modern, but still can't match the Camry's legacy.

### Interior Upgrades Inside, the 2015 Camry brings a more driver-focused cockpit with intuitive electronics and a new 4.2-inch TFT screen between the gauges. Materials have also been upgraded, giving the interior a more premium feel. The seats are soft, and controls are smooth, making it one of the most refined interiors in the segment. Hyundai also boosted its interior quality, especially for sport models. The Sonata Sport 2.0T includes a D-cut steering wheel, paddle shifters, and a sport-style instrument cluster, enhancing the driving experience.

### Performance and Handling Toyota claims the 2015 Camry is its best-handling model yet, with a stiffer chassis, improved braking system, and wider track for better stability. The new design aims to deliver a more dynamic driving experience without sacrificing comfort. Hyundai also made improvements to the Sonata’s rear suspension, adding dual lower arms for better responsiveness and control. The 2.0L turbocharged engine now delivers more torque at lower RPMs, making it more efficient and powerful.

### Safety and Tech Both cars come with a full suite of safety features, including forward collision warning, blind spot detection, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. They also offer Apple CarPlay and wireless charging, keeping up with the latest trends. ### Final Thoughts While the Hyundai Sonata has made great strides in design, technology, and performance, the Toyota Camry still holds a strong position thanks to its long-standing reputation for reliability and comfort. That said, the competition is fierce, and both models are worth considering. With these updates, the 2015 Camry and Sonata are set to challenge each other in the mid-size segment once again. Whether you prefer the proven reliability of Toyota or the bold innovation of Hyundai, there’s something for everyone.
