Which is Better? The 2019 Hyundai Sonata or 2019 Toyota Camry?

Serving Capitol Heights, Washington D.C., and Arlington

The 2019 Hyundai Sonata and 2019 Toyota Camry are mid-size sedans with premium features. Both cars offer impressive active safety technology, but the Sonata has more standard amenities to prevent accidents. The Blue Link and Android Auto technology also gives this Hyundai an advantage in overall connectivity.

Active Safety

The 2019 Sonata is equipped with the standard Blind Spot Detection, which heightens your awareness of cars that invade your blind zones on the road. When the BSD detects a high risk of an accident, you'll see blinking alerts in the exterior side mirrors. By contrast, you won't find the Blind Spot Monitor in every 2019 Toyota Camry trim. The Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is another active safety technology that's standard in the Sonata. You'll be notified when other vehicles cross into your path in parking lots or on the highway. Additionally, the Lane Change Assist works in sync with the RCTA technology. This premium Hyundai sedan offers the Automatic Emergency Braking, which works just like the Pre-Collision System in the Toyota Safety Sense P package. Both sedans have the Pedestrian Detection functionality to reduce the risk of collisions with distracted pedestrians in crosswalks. Rear parking sensors and a rear view camera give this Hyundai sedan a clear advantage over the Camry. You can also get the Dynamic Bending Lights for the Sonata. These advanced headlights automatically tilt according to the steering angle.

Digital Technology

A 7.-inch color touch screen is standard in four of the 2019 Hyundai Sonata models. You have access to an 8-inch navigation system in the Limited 2.0T edition. Similarly, the 2019 Toyota Camry's Entune 3.0 infotainment system comes with a 7-inch or 8-inch display. Both sedans offer hands-free phone connections through wireless Bluetooth. Standard in the Sonata, Android Auto is optimized for smartphones that run on various versions of the Android operating system. You won't find this connectivity option in the Entune 3.0 console. However, both cars have the Apple CarPlay portal for iPhones and other iOS devices. You may also use Siri Eyes Free in the Camry's cockpit. HD Radio and SiriusXM are standard in four of the Sonata trims, but these music channels are only available in select Camry models. Designed by Infinity, 10 speakers with a subwoofer are available in this Hyundai sedan. An external amplifier blasts up to 400 acoustic watts in the modern cabin. A wireless charging pad for mobile devices is also available in the front row. Exclusively installed in Hyundai vehicles, the Blue Link package includes multiple mobile applications that provide guidance, security and other utility. You'll get a three-year subscription to the Connected Care, Remote and other services.

Design Features

Aluminum pedals and metal grain accents add sophisticated styling to the interior of the 2019 Sonata. This sedan is available with the 3D Tech design that's inspired by contemporary international styling. Woodgrain is another trim option that enhances the appearance of the elegant cockpit. You can choose Electric Blue, Scarlet Red or Phantom Black for the exterior finish of this premium Hyundai model.
