Reviews Summary

Despite having the onerous task of competing against segment mainstays like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord—and combating waning consumer interest in midsize sedans—the Hyundai Sonata continues to play to its strengths. By offering tremendous value, exceptional quality, and a surprisingly sporty N Line variant, the Sonata can more than hold its own against the segment favourites.

Reviews Summary

The 2021 Toyota Avalon serves a simple function. It bridges the price gap between the Toyota Camry and the Lexus ES. In fact, the Avalon and the Lexus are essentially the same cars, the latter offering a greater degree of refinement and a more appealing design. Otherwise, there isn’t a reason for the Avalon to exist in a world gone mad for SUVs. And that’s especially true when a certified pre-owned Lexus ES that’s just a year or two old costs less than the new Toyota.
