Who is the top performer? Read our comparison of the 2020 Honda Civic or the 2020 Toyota Corolla to help you decide which is the right compact-car for you.
 

2020 Toyota Corolla

The 2020 Toyota Corolla got a facelift this year with a complete redesign that made it sleeker and sportier than ever. Lower, wider, and more aggressive the Corolla is sure to turn heads and with available 18-inch machined allow wheels and dark gray-painted accents underscore the sleek lines of its profile. To say it comes with attitude is an understatement. The Corolla’s wider body gives it a more responsive and energetic drive which, when paired with the available 2.0L Dynamic Force Engine with 169 horsepower, makes saying it is “fun to drive” an understatement.

On the interior, you’ll see black accents and soft-touch materials on the dash and doors to accent the new Corolla’s minimalist design which only helps to drive home a premium feel. Technology-wise you have a 6-speaker audio system, and an available 9-speaker JBL Audio System on higher trim levels, plus Bluetooth connectivity, two USB ports, and speed-sensitive volume control all standard on the new Corolla.

2020 Honda Civic

Offering a diverse selection of trims, body styles, and levels of performance there is a Civic out there for all compact-car lovers. Seating for 5 lets you and your family or friends pile into the Civic’s spacious interior without feeling cramped. Plus, with the 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback, you’ll have plenty of cargo space for almost any situation. On the technology front, the Civic comes with a wireless phone charger in an easy to reach area, and with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Integration, you’ll be connected and ready to go.

Overall the 2020 Civic has the reliability that you’ve come to expect from a Honda but where they are making strides is in the standard features and technology. Plus, with 174 horsepower, available fully independent suspension, and available paddle shifters, you’ll have yourself a high-performance sedan with top of the line tech to match.

And The Verdict Is?

How do you choose which industry-leading compact-car you should drive home? Every year the position can flip with one year the Civic leading the way and the next the Corolla is king. The newly redesigned Corolla is a huge step forward from past years and is making waves with its new minimalist stylings. All the new tech, the new style built from decades of reliability to be found in a brand like Toyota makes this an easy choice in the compact-car category. Both are outstanding options if you are looking for a compact car, we’re leaning more towards the Toyota Corolla, but we’re also a bit biased being a Toyota dealership and all. 😉
