Hi Ashwin!

Firstly many many congratulations to you on your promotion & your new car - swift!

Coming to your query,

Actually we can't compare the two cars, Honda Accord & Toyota Altis because both belong to different segments.

Now based on your requirements, I would simply suggest you to go for Honda accord, As it has a brilliant performance, No doubt, Very luxurious and high tec futuristic interiors, feature wise its a loaded car and its resale value is also good as it wears HONDA badge another car you can look at is the Skoda's new superb its also a great car and has equally same as i said in accord but Skoda's high spare price might be an issue, anyways i would suggest you to test drive both cars and choose one in whichever you feel comfy!Alll the best!

There is a huge difference in the pricing of Altis & Accord.  Have a look at the comparison between the high-end version of Altis & base model of Accord - go through the Specifications, Features & All Features.

as mentioned by other member the two cannot be compared at all. The accord can be compared with the likes of sonata. If you have the budget to go in for the accord then that is surely the one to buy. Amazing road presence, superior performance, great design and killer looks.

of the two still the accord will be a better choice. Accord is cheaper as compared to the camry. Toyota is generally known for superior engines which give better FE but then Honda is not behind at all. Infact people have purchased the old look honda city which have done over 1 lac on the odo and still find it performing pretty well. Why dont you take into consideration the sonata and laura as well? they are cheaper as compared to the other two and also much more powerful. Check this comparision between the three

Hi Ashwin,

If you are looking for D segment cars then you have many choices like Accord,Camry,Teana,Superb,Passat.

All these cars are great entry segment luxury sedans(Price Range is 20-25 lakhs).

If I had to rank them the it would be

1.Accord

2.Camry

3.Superb

4.Passat

5. Teana

All these models have their own advantages and disadvantages too.So pick your choice!

Karan

ACCORD is a stunner. Total paisa vasool(Because the car is a head turner). Camry is slightly older now compared to Accord.

The new superb (Diesel & Petrol) are good options. However, the service network is a total deterrent.

Even if you meant camry, I would still suggest you to go for Honda Accord, or if you still want to look at any other vehicle then consider the new superb, its simply superb, choice is yours test drive both cars and then decide, All the best!
