Midsize Sedan Specs Comparison
When it comes to raw efficiency and flexibility, these sedans each carve out their own niche. The 2026 Toyota Camry comes standard as a hybrid, delivering an impressive 52 city and 49 highway mpg for a combined 51 mpg rating that easily leads this pack. The 2026 Nissan Sentra stretches every gallon with 30 city, 38 highway and 33 combined mpg, while the 2026 Kia K5 rewards drivers who want variety with two available engine options and a 26 city, 37 highway and 30 combined mpg figure.
While the Honda Accord posts solid mpg ratings, you have to upgrade for the hybrid engine to achieve that level of fuel efficiency, which is an added cost. The Camry sedan's standard hybrid powertrain edges out the Accord model's 51 city mpg and doesn't require you to upgrade to a hybrid trim to get it. And with two engine choices, the K5 delivers a level of powertrain flexibility the Accord can't match in this comparison.
