Toyota launched the new-gen Camry in India at a time when sedans have seemingly lost their charm among the buyers. Moreover, the D-segment sedan segment is a lot poorer with only two prominent names left, the Skoda Superb being the other one. A couple of decades ago, this segment was ruled by Honda Accord, Volkswagen Passat, Ford Mondeo, and Hyundai Sonata.

Let us compare the last two remaining D-segment sedans in India, and check out how they fare against each other.
