Toyota Camry vs Hyundai Sonata: Safety Features & Ratings

Both the Toyota Camry and the Hyundai Sonata feature stability and traction control systems that activate during slippery road conditions. If a wheel slips, these systems will provide brake pressure to the wheel while sending more torque to the wheels with better traction. The systems will also reduce the engine speed to help keep the vehicles on their path.

Each vehicle is outfitted with advanced airbag systems that feature front airbags, side airbags, and driver’s knee airbags. The Toyota Camry offers additional protection with a passenger’s knee airbag, as well as side airbags for rear passengers.

Plus, both sedans went through the rigorous Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash tests. The 2017 Toyota Camry earned the 2017 TOP SAFETY PICK+ due to its impressive performance. The 2017 Hyundai Sonata, on the other hand, had major drawbacks with its “poor” headlights and “marginal” ease of use with the LATCH system, but it walked away with the 2017 TOP SAFETY PICK.
