The Accord’s driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The Crown doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

Both the Accord and the Crown have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, rearview cameras, available blind spot warning systems, rear parking sensors and rear cross-path warning.

On the EPA test cycle the Accord gets better mileage than the Crown:

To lower fuel costs and make buying fuel easier, the Honda Accord uses regular unleaded gasoline. The Crown Platinum requires premium, which can cost on average about 82.8 cents more per gallon.

The Accord has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The Crown doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.

For better traction, the Accord Sport/Touring’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Crown (235/40R19 vs. 225/55R19).

The Accord LX/EX/EX-L’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 50 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Crown’s standard 55 series tires. The Accord Sport/Touring’s tires have a lower 40 series profile than the Crown’s optional 45 series tires.

The Honda Accord may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 750 to 1000 pounds less than the Toyota Crown.

The front grille of the Accord uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Crown doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The Accord uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Crown doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

The Accord has 1.3 inches more front headroom, .2 inches more front legroom, .2 inches more front hip room, .8 inches more front shoulder room, 1.9 inches more rear legroom, 2.3 inches more rear hip room and 1.4 inches more rear shoulder room than the Crown.

The Accord has a much larger trunk than the Crown (16.7 vs. 15.2 cubic feet).

The Accord Touring has a standard heads-up display that projects speed and navigation instruction readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Crown doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The Accord’s standard speed-sensitive wipers speed up when the vehicle does, so that the driver doesn’t have to continually adjust the speed of the wipers. The Crown’s standard manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.
