2021 Honda Civic vs. 2021 Toyota Corolla

2021 Honda Civic Sedan

vs 2021 Toyota Corolla

With the 2021 Honda Civic, presence is a given, thanks to its sporty style, C-shaped LED tail lights and an aggressive, modern stance. From a brand that’s known for its reliability and safety, the Civic pairs function with aesthetic with a stylish, head-turning exterior, ready to take on the open road. Rap your style a notch further with an available decklid spoiler, or hear the available turbocharged engine produce its 174 horsepower with a rev worthy of some larger muscle cars. Performance is a given with the Civic at your command, and so is safety. As an IIHS 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK (when equipped with specific headlights), the 2021 Honda Civic will help you ooze confidence whenever you get behind the wheel. But the sedan segment is flooded with competitors, so if you’ve been searching for a reliable new car to replace yours, you’ve probably come across the Toyota Corolla. Let’s take an honest look at how these two sedans compare in the graph below:

Normally, a comparison between Honda and Toyota is more tight, but this year the 2021 Honda Civic outperforms the Corolla in more ways than one. While both models offer an efficient Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), only the Civic has an optional turbocharged engine, an innovative powertrain advancement that produces high horsepower in a more efficient manner. Available fog lights are not offered across all trims of the Corolla sedan, which is a shame since they provide low-reaching light for safe travels through inclement weather. Inside, there’s a little extra wiggle room for rear-seat passengers and two feet of additional cargo space in the Civic, while optional dual-zone automatic climate control keeps everyone comfortable. Plus, who doesn’t love leather-trimmed seating?
