The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
7.0

5.7
TCC’s Bottom Line
More tech this year makes the 2021 Honda Accord a compelling buy, but the options can rack up. The 2021 Toyota Camry elevates its family-sedan game with grabby looks and hybrid power. The 2022 Volkswagen Passat is light on personality, but offers solid sedan motoring.
