2018 Toyota Camry vs 2018 Hyundai Sonata in Kansas City, MO
Pictured right is the 2018 Toyota Camry with optional features.

Are you looking for a midsize sedan that offers exciting performance capabilities, in addition to generous features and advancements? If so, then 2018 Toyota Camry may be just the ride for you! To help convince you that this is a vehicle unlike any other, we’ve compiled this comparison between the Camry and the 2018 Hyundai Sonata. For more information, stop by your trusted dealer, Molle Toyota, during our convenient hours to speak with a knowledgeable staff member!
To begin, we’ll examine how the 2018 Camry and 2018 Sonata perform. Equipped with a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder powertrain, the sedan from Toyota generates an impressive 203-hp and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. In comparison, with a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine under the hood, the Hyundai only manages to produce 185-hp and 178 lb.-ft. of torque. Additionally, though both sedans offer engine upgrades, the Camry still ends up on top, as its available 3.5L V6 engine supplies a robust 301-hp and 267 lb.-ft. of torque, easily outmatching the 245-hp and 260 lb.-ft. of torque offered by Sonata’s available 2.0L turbo option. As if that weren’t enough, the Toyota also achieves a more competitive fuel economy rating of 29/41 MPG city/hwy1. In the Hyundai Sonata, you might be shelling out more cash at the pump, thanks to its less competitive 25/36 MPG city/hwy2 fuel economy.
Of course, when you’re out enjoying the drive, you’ll want to be sure that you and your passengers will be safeguarded from harm. Though both the 2018 Toyota Camry and the 2018 Sonata offer a variety of safety advancements, the Camry truly goes the extra mile by providing more of these systems as standard features, demonstrating Toyota’s serious commitment to safety. If you ever unintentionally start drifting from your path, the Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist3 will help get you back on track by providing gentle corrections to bring you back to the center. Also, the Automatic High Beams4 ensure that you’ll always be seen, at any time of day or night. Though the Hyundai also offers these features, you’ll have to upgrade to a more expensive trim level to take advantage of them.
Finally, the Toyota Camry supplies superior accommodations to help everyone enjoy the drive to Uptown Theater. Up front, you can opt for an 8-way power-adjustable seat for your passenger in the Camry. In the Sonata, you can only upgrade to a 6-way power-adjustable option, giving your copilot less freedom to customize his or her comfort. Furthermore, the sedan from Toyota gives your passengers in the backseat more room to stretch out with 38.0 inches of legroom. In the Hyundai, people in the rear may feel a little cramped as it only supplies a meager 35.6 inches for the same dimension. It’s clear that in the Camry, you’ll get to enjoy every ride to its fullest potential!
In the battle between the 2018 Toyota Camry vs 2018 Hyundai Sonata in Kansas City, MO, the Camry is left standing at the top of the podium in the end! If you have any questions or would like to schedule a test drive, give the friendly representatives at Molle Toyota a call at 866-557-9913. We’re excited to hear from you!

“ Up front and honest thank you! ”
“ Kevin Wallace was very helpful and I found the car I wanted ”
“ Blake Greene is my kind of salesman. I was in sales and can spot pushy manipulative sales tactics a mile away. With Blake, you get none of the pushy manipulative, power close stuff. Blake's only "tactic" is to just help the buyer get 100% comfortable with the car, the price and the process. Blake is a true buyer's advocate. He gets honest answers to your questions, whether they are good or bad, gets any mechanical issues addressed, and works on the buyer's behalf with sales management so you get the terms you need at a price that's fair. Hats off the the Molle service team for getting the 2015 Volvo S80 T6 AWS Platinum I purchased ready for sale. Buying a used, higher mileage Volvo is a gamble. Volvo S80s are rare, a bit tricky and expensive to service, but a great, under appreciated, under valued car. The Molle service team helped mitigate the risks. The service team got all the scheduled maintenance completed. They even did some extra maintenance and made a few minor repairs that would have cost me well over a grand to have done myself; plus they put on new set of tires. If this is Molle's standard trade-in prep process, Molle's used cars are the area's premium, top notch, low risk, high value deals, buyers can feel safe and proud to drive home. I couldn't be happier with the car and the deal. It is amazing to be driving a solid, well maintained car that was the top of the Volvo lineup for the price of a used Corolla. I wouldn't have bought it without Blake's help. Thanks Blake! So, if you're in the market, forget the other guys. Get yourself an advocate, call Molle and ask for Blake Greene. ”
“ All around great experience! ”
“ I am never excited to buy a car or even walk into a car dealership but Molle Toyota made things very quick and easy for me. The car I wanted was not in my local area so I ended up driving 3 hours to get here. I had plenty of communication with them before via phone, text, and email. I explained that I did not want to drive 3 hours and have my time wasted one some unforeseen detail and they were very understanding. When I arrived there, I was greeted pleasantly at the front desk and escorted to Deny's desk. Everything was in order and there were absolutely no surprises. In under 45 minutes, I was out the door with my new car. I highly recommend Molle Toyota for their excellent selection and service. A big shout out to Deny for making my experience worthwhile. Definitely 5/5! ”
“ I had the pleasure of working with Cody Hargrave in the sales department. He was nothing short of professional and was more than willing to work with me to get all my answers questions on a pre-owned non-Toyota car. While I didn't end up buying a car from Molle Toyota, I'd highly recommend paying them a visit and looking Cody up if you want a more-relaxed car-buying experience. ”
“ Skylar in service took great care of our Highlander ”
“ Great pre-owned sales department. Not too pushy but attentive to customer requests and efficient. ”
“ I couldn’t be happier with my experience purchasing my new car. From the first conversation to driving off the lot, Noor was attentive, honest, and extremely helpful. All my questions were answered clearly, and the process was straightforward and efficient. It made what can often be a stressful experience genuinely enjoyable. I highly recommend Noor to anyone looking for a smooth and trustworthy car-buying experience. ”
“ (Translated by Google) They are very kind and made my experience very pleasant. (Original) Son muy amables e hicieron mi experiencia muy agradable. ”
“ Firas Tohmeh with Molle Toyota made purchasing the new Platinum Hybrid Highlander an awesome experience. Their sales staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable. They definitely exceeded my expectations by providing an exceptional experience. ”
“ I found a used camry online and swooped in to check it out. Samuel (sales person/customer satisfaction expert) had the door open for me at 8:30am! The entire process was transparent and smooth. Love the ride, thanks Samuel. Never change young man. When my sales paperwork was sent via email, it was sent as PDF.docs zipped up (not my preference and I had some difficulty quickly accessing my information on my mobile device the day my insurance carrier needed this information in a timely manner). When I called to inquire around 10AM, the receptionist transferred me to VM. When I called again to try and speak directly with a person from finance, she was very short and rude in her demeanor loudly stating "well all the finance people are in a morning meeting and you will have to wait"! I am truly hoping this is not the normative customer service experience I will receive here, the jury is still out I suppose. Although it's true that customers have to wait for due process within an organziational structure, it is not true that we "have" to do or not do what we are told, there are always other options and this is why we perform google reviews. I suggest a re-education regarding customer interactions occur as soon as possible. ”
It looks like I am going to be the only one with a bad
“ It looks like I am going to be the only one with a bad review. My salesman Todd Heston seemed like the typical stereotype salesman put me off when I asked questions told let’s get this going and then we will get to that, well we didn’t get to that so not sure when we were went to look at my trade and I didn’t see it again until I talked to the finance manager who was a great guy. Anyway Todd put my old tag on the truck I purchased I didn’t give it much thought at the time because it took so long I was just ready to get out of there. I believe I am driving around illegally with tags that don’t belong to the vehicle they are on. Anyway I guess Molle Toyota can’t afford to spring for a temporary tag. Thanks Todd I have told everyone I know if they go to Molle Toyota to make sure they stay away from Todd Heston! ”
“ Stanley was a very professional Toyota consultant and he knew all of the Toyota products inside and out. However, once we decided to buy, it took 2.5 hours to finish the deal. This was not an issue with Stanley nor Darnel. Molle Toyota is simply short staffed in the business dept. Just a suggestion, but you might consider authorizing your more experienced Consultants to go ahead and finish the transaction once their customer makes the buying decision. Jon Prescott P.S. I LOVE MY Toyota Tacoma!! ”
