In the battle of the sedans, there can only be one winner. If you're looking for a powerful midsize sedan, then you might have the 2018 Toyota Corolla and 2018 Honda Civic in your sights. The two models have a lot to offer in terms of performance and features, but which is a better value overall?
Not only is the 2018 Toyota Corolla's starting MSRP lower than the 2018 Honda Civic's, it also has more standard features and technologies, including heated exterior mirrors, a CD player and more speakers. Here's a closer look at some of the other features and capabilities that set the sedans apart.
2018 Toyota Corolla SE | VS | 2018 Honda Civic EX |
98 cu.ft. | Passenger Volume | 95 cu.ft |
41.4" | Rear Legroom (More space is better) | 37.4" |
2 | Number of Front LCD Screens | 1 |
Standard | Auxiliary Port | N/A |
Where the Honda Civic excels is its spacious, comfortable cabin and nimble driving experience. At the heart of the Civic EX is a 158-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable transmission for a powerful driving experience. While the 2018 Honda Civic EX's engine is overall more powerful than the 2018 Toyota Corolla's 132-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder with a CVT, it can't match the Corolla's overall value.
Inside the cabin, the 2018 Toyota Corolla has more passenger space and legroom compared to the Civic. There are also more LCD screens, an auxiliary port and an easy-to-use infotainment system. This is in contrast to the Honda Civic's tricky infotainment display, which has been a sore point for the sedan for years.
