TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Hyundai Sonata blends in better than ever in the top tier of family sedans.

The 2015 Toyota Camry ups its game with a thorough refresh that, while not daring, makes it more enjoyable for driver and passenger alike.

TCC Likes

Toned down in key ways
Gas-mileage gains
New Eco edition is no mild hybrid

High-mileage Hybrid model
Lag-free infotainment systems
Great ride, refined cabin

TCC Dislikes

Beginning to blend in
Acceleration is down, a little
Manuals are gone for good

Rear seats don’t fully fold
Base four lags rivals in performance
LE interior trims still a little bleak
