Auto Dealership Serving Sumter, South Carolina
Motorists in search of a new compact car will surely want to consider popular choices like the latest versions of the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. These two well-known models have been top-selling options in the compact car class for many years, and that continues today. There are plenty of differences that separate the 2020 Honda Civic and 2020 Toyota Corolla, though. From power and efficiency to cabin space and amenities, you'll find that one of these cars outshines the other in many categories.
Let's review these two affordably-priced compact cars for sale. We'll point out key differences that will likely matter to most drivers when selecting a small car to buy or lease.
Why Choose Civic?
Efficient Performance
Drivers often opt for compact cars due to their affordable transport. While pricing is certainly a big factor, so can fuel efficiency -- or your potential savings at the gas pump! With a combined 36 MPG rating*, the 2020 Honda Civic EX Sedan compares favorably to the 2020 Toyota Corolla XLE CVT and its EPA-estimated 32 MPG combined rating!
There's a big difference in these cars' fuel economy figures, but also in horsepower and performance. Toyota's 2020 Corolla XLE CVT boasts just 132 hp, while the new Civic EX Sedan delivers a potent 174 hp, thanks to Honda's advanced 1.5-liter turbocharged engine.
Why choose robust performance or exceptional fuel economy when you can both? Many motorists are selecting the stylish, sporty and fuel-sipping 2020 Honda Civic over the lackluster competition from Toyota's Corolla!
Passenger Space & Comfort
We've already covered many reasons to choose the Civic over the Corolla, but here comes some more. The 2020 Civic impresses on many fronts, especially when it comes to cabin space, amenities and performance. The new Civic generates immense power and provides that fun-to-drive feeling. It presents passengers with generous cabin space, too. The Civic Sedan's 95 cubic feet of passenger volume tops the Corolla sedan, as the Toyota boasts only 88.6 cubic feet for occupants.
Don't sacrifice space when shopping for a compact car: choose the cavernous cabin of the new Honda Civic. Keep in mind that the well-appointed 2020 Honda Civic EX Sedan also boasts Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, an amenity not found on Toyota's 2020 Corolla XLE CVT.
Tech & Convenience
Continue comparing Honda's 2020 Civic EX Sedan to the Toyota Corolla XLE CVT and you'll uncover several other Civic standard features that the Corolla doesn't offer. For starters, Honda's innovative Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock® is here to add security to your Civic. This technology automatically locks your Civic when you walk away and the key fob is out of range of the car. There's no longer a reason to wonder if you forgot to lock your car! The 2020 Toyota Corolla doesn't offer a similar feature, not on any of its trims.
These two compact cars for sale provide you with the peace of mind of lane departure alert technology, but only the 2020 Civic EX Sedan includes tech that can gently steer the car back into the middle of its lane if lane drifting is detected. The Road Departure Mitigation System on the 2020 Civic works similarly but can provide steering and braking assistance should your Civic start to leave the road.
