Want to switch to a new car? Looking for a compact but can't decide? Let's try to get some clarity by briefly comparing the 2022 Toyota Corolla and the 2022 Honda Civic.
The Corolla arrived in Quebec in 1966. With more than 45 million units produced, it is the top-selling car in the world.
In 1973, the Honda Civic entered the Canadian market. It is powerful and cost efficient. In the province of Quebec, it was love at first sight! Its name, Civic, expresses Honda's ambition to reduce polluting emissions. In 1973, 747 Civics were sold in Canada. In 1974, Canadians bought 5,241 of them, then 20,742 in 1975 and, in 1991... 50,320 Civics were sold in Canada!
For the past 5 years, automobile journalists from The Car Guide have awarded the Honda Civic the titles of Best Compact Car and Best Coupe in 2017, as well as Best Compact Sport Car in 2020 and 2021.
During this period, the Car Guide did not award any titles to the Corolla.
The 2022 Toyota Corolla had for many years the reputation of being an unkillable car, but with such a "beige" look and such a dull drive... For a few years, its designers have changed course. They now offer us a car that shows off a lot... maybe a little too much.
Elegant with its sculpted roof and sleek door handles that promote aerodynamics, the 2022 Honda Civic presented by Honda de Laval has a classic look that underlines the powerful charisma of Honda's flagship model!
The 2-tone interior of the 2022 Corolla is like its exterior: too busy! Too busy, but with a multi-function display of only 4.2 inches, while the 2022 Civic's is 7.0 inches.
The sleek design of the 2022 Civic's well-soundproofed interior, offered at Honda of Laval near Ste-Thérèse, stands out by its wider acoustic windshield that reduces blind spots. With the exception of the LX version, every 2022 Civic model is equipped with a power moonroof. Only the top-of-the-line 2022 Corolla models (XLE and XSE) come standard with the power moonroof.
Finally, the standard sound system of the 2022 Honda Civic powers 8 speakers with speed-dependent volume control. The 2022 Corolla's sound system is not speed-controlled and only powers 6 speakers.
The trunk of the 2022 Honda Civic opens to a cargo volume of 419 litres (14.8 cu. ft), while the 2022 Corolla's trunk barely holds 371 litres (13.1 cu. ft).
Depending on the model, the 2022 Toyota Corolla is equipped with either a 1.8L 4-cylinder or a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. Combined with the CVT transmission, the former develops 139 hp and the latter 169 hp. The combined city/highway fuel economy ratings of these engines range from 7.1 L/100 km to 7.3 L/100 km.
Sportier than the Corolla, the 2022 Honda Civic can be powered by on of two Earth Dream powertrains; a 2.0L, i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine generating 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque, or a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that delivers 180 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque.
This power does not prevent the 2022 Civic from consuming less fuel than the Corolla, as it needs only 6.9 L and 7.1 L to cover 100 km. The 2022 Civic is environmentally friendly. Its CO2 emissions are limited to 162.75 g/km while the average emission in the 2022 compact car segment is 171.9 g/km.
While most 2022 Toyota Corolla variants get Automatic High Beams, Pre-Collision with Pedestrian and Bicycle Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Roadside Detection, Lane Tracing Assist and full-speed range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, every 2022 Honda Civic adds to these driving assist technologies:
The AJAC has awarded the 2021 Innovation Award to the Honda Civic for its new front passenger airbag.
