SUVs and crossovers may have overtaken the sedan as the most popular vehicles in America, but that doesn't mean sedans are dead. In fact, today's models offer spacious interiors, impressive fuel economy, and a satisfying blend of comfort, style, and control on the road. In this video, Ryan ZumMallen from Edmunds delves into two of the most popular and highly rated midsize sedans on the market, the Honda Accord and the Hyundai Sonata. This video will help you decide which of these midsize family sedans is the best choice for you and your lifestyle. We'll dive into each car and go over what separates the two, what the similarities are, and which one we like the most. It's a midsize sedan showdown between the 2020 Honda Accord and the 2020 Hyundai Sonata.

The Honda Accord is most likely the car that pops into your head when you think of a sedan. The Accord has been hauling families around town for decades now, but Honda has had the wherewithal to keep its long-running sedan fresh and updated. The 2020 Accord has a sleek fastback design, powerful and fuel-efficient engines, and some of the best handling in its class. It's just a fun car to drive. The Accord interior offers plenty of space, especially in the legroom department, and it's loaded with enough tech features to appease everyone in your family.

Technology and style were what Hyundai was aiming for when it redesigned the Sonata for the 2020 model year. And if Hyundai is listening, we'd like to say, "Well done." Hyundai gave the 2020 Sonata an aggressively styled grille with daytime running lights that stretch up over the hood. There's nothing boring or plain about it. Highlighting the new technology features is the remote parking assist system called Smart Park, which comes standard on the Limited trim and allows you to be outside while controlling the car. Hyundai's digital key app, also standard on Limited, even lets you use your phone as a key. Combine these features with a large touchscreen and excellent voice controls and you've almost got yourself a luxury sedan without the luxury price tag.

It's hard to go wrong with either of these midsize sedans. The Honda Accord does everything well and has aged like fine wine. The Hyundai Sonata has the aggressive styling and added technology that appeal to the modern driver. We like the Honda Accord for its enjoyable driving experience and roomier interior. But that's not to take anything away from the Sonata, which is less expensive than the Accord and has style to spare. But which one is for you? We hope to answer that question in this midsize sedan showdown of the Honda Accord vs. Hyundai Sonata.
