You’re a bright, bubbly person who’s a reliable friend, employee, and family member. You need a set of wheels as fun and dependable as you, and the 2023 Toyota Corolla and 2023 Honda Civic are two admirable choices.
To help our friends around Saco, Portland, and Scarborough, Maine, our team at IRA Toyota Saco has compiled this Toyota Corolla vs. Honda Civic comparison. Keep reading for more information on mileage, safety, and entertainment tech!
Toyota and Honda both have reputations for creating highly efficient roadsters, so you’ll be in good hands whichever ride you choose. However, when it comes to the Toyota Corolla vs. Honda Civic, one of them does get better mileage than the other.
The Honda Civic offers a standard EPA-estimated 30 city/37 highway MPG, and with the EX trim, this goes up to an EPA-estimated 33 city/42 highway MPG. These are commendable numbers, but the Toyota Corolla offers a bit more.
The base trim level on the Toyota Corolla offers an EPA-estimated 32 city/41 highway MPG, sure to prove useful when you have a full day of running errands.* Additionally, the Toyota Corolla also offers hybrid trim levels, boasting an astounding maximum fuel economy: an EPA-estimated 53 city/46 highway MPG.**
Unfortunately, the Honda Civic doesn’t offer hybrid trims, so you’ll need the Toyota Corolla to experience this kind of efficiency.
When you’re driving to work or to see friends, you want to have the peace of mind which comes with a safe vehicle. Both the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic offer a long list of standard safety technologies, thanks to standard Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 and Honda Sensing®, respectively.
Both models feature dynamic cruise control systems, pre-collision braking, and lane departure alerts to help you control the highway. These confidence-boosting systems are much-appreciated, though there are some features you’ll only find standard on the Toyota Corolla, including Pedestrian Detection and Steering Assist.
Also, the Toyota Corolla offers an available Blind Spot Monitor system with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert to help you stay aware of your surroundings while driving. Though the Honda Civic offers this feature, it’s not available on the base model, so you’ll need to upgrade to a higher trim level if you want to experience it.
Finally, when you head off to seize the day, you want to have fun along the way. What interior features do the Corolla and Civic offer to keep you informed and entertained?
Both vehicles include standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity for your compatible smartphones, making it easy to access your favorite playlists and other features during your commute. For charging ease, both models offer available wireless phone charging, so you can ditch the cord when you power up.
However, we recommend the Toyota Corolla for its standard 8-inch touchscreen, compared to the 7-inch standard touchscreen on the Honda Civic. The Corolla is also the only vehicle to offer a standard trial of SiriusXM® radio. Use your 3-month Platinum Plan trial subscription to access music, news, and other radio stations. You’ll have no shortage of entertainment options!
The 2023 Toyota Corolla and 2023 Honda Civic are two great cars for your day-to-day life, but if we had to recommend one to you, we’d choose the Toyota Corolla. With its incredible efficiency, hybrid options, and modern technology, you’ll feel set up for success.
