$28,295 · Sedan

$28,350 · Hatchback

Comparison Overview

The most significant measurable difference between the 2025 Honda Accord and the 2025 Toyota Prius is fuel economy, with the Prius achieving a remarkable 57 MPG combined compared to the Accord’s 32 MPG combined, a 25 MPG delta. Priced nearly identically, with the Accord at $28,295 and the Prius at $28,350, the decision hinges on priorities beyond initial cost. The Accord offers superior exterior dimensions, measuring 195.7 inches in length compared to the Prius’s 181.1 inches, and slightly more power with 192 hp versus the Prius’s 194 hp (though the power difference is negligible). However, the Prius maximizes utility with 23.8 cu ft of cargo capacity versus the Accord's 16.7 cu ft. While the Accord has marginally higher torque at 192 lb-ft to the Prius's implied lower figure (based on hybrid design focus), the drastic MPG advantage positions the Prius as the economical leader for high-mileage drivers.
