Toyota Corolla vs Honda Civic

2022 Toyota Corolla vs Honda Civic: Safety

Take a look at the design of the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic, and you’ll notice just how many safety features these vehicles have to offer. Utilizing a full set of airbags, including side curtain airbags, both vehicles can keep you safe in a fender bender.

You’ll even find that these cars enhance your handling with the help of a variety of safety technology. Here are just a few of the features that the Toyota Corolla uses to enhance your handling in low-traction areas:

• Anti-lock Brake System
• Brake Assist
• Electronic Brake-force Distribution
• Vehicle Stability Control

The Honda Civic offers a comparable standard feature for each offered in the Corolla. However, only the Toyota Corolla also comes standard with Smart Stop Technology, which comes included with the Star Safety System™. With this, the Toyota sedan will have an extra tool in its arsenal to keep you safe.

Active Safety Suites

While the crashworthiness of the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic is evident, these vehicles are also designed with active safety suites. For the Toyota Corolla, you’ll have the Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 suite, while the Honda Civic offers Honda Sensing® Technologies. Both suites help prevent accidents from happening in the first place.

You’ll find that both vehicles offer similar technology. For instance, the Corolla comes with the Pre-Collison System with Pedestrian Detection, while the Civic comes with Forward Collision Warning—two names for the same type of safety function.  

In the event that you’re coming too close to another vehicle, your car can automatically engage the brakes to bring you to a stop before an accident can occur. This is a very helpful feature when it comes to avoiding fender benders in stop-and-go traffic.

The major difference between these two systems, though, is that the Pre-Collision System of the Corolla comes standard with Pedestrian Detection capabilities. That way, your sedan can alert you to jaywalkers and other vehicles alike.

Driver-Assistance Features

In addition to offering safety features designed to make sure you feel alert and secure behind the wheel, these vehicles are also designed to make driving easier. With the available driver-assistance features, you can count on the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic to reduce your overall driving inputs, so you don’t feel fatigued over long periods.

Both the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic feature advanced cruise-control systems—Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, respectively—to assist you during long commutes. These systems allow you to set a target speed and your vehicle will work to stay at that speed.

Best of all, the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic will even slow down as they catch up with traffic to keep you at a safe distance behind other vehicles. If you’re going to be on the highway for a while, this is a fantastic feature to have.

You’ll have a much easier time driving in the Toyota Corolla as this vehicle offers all sorts of additional features that are missing from the Civic. For instance, both models include a Lane Departure Alert system to warn you if you drift from your lane, but only the Corolla includes Lane Tracing Assist.

To ensure you can drive especially comfortably on the highway, the standard Lane Tracing Assist system of the Corolla will guide your steering along with the lane markers to keep you centered in the lane. This way, you can just sit back and let your vehicle guide your hands as you enjoy the ride.

Interior Convenience

You’ll find that the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic have been designed from the ground up to make your life easier. Therefore, they both feature automatic climate-control systems. This technology works to cool your cabin down automatically. All you have to do is set a preferred temperature and let your vehicle work to get your cabin down to that temperature.

In order to make it easier for you to stay connected on the go, the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic also offer wireless smartphone-charging pads. Just set your phone down on this pad and it’ll start charging automatically, so your phone is always topped off.

While they both come standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to indulge all your entertainment needs, the Corolla will come with a more comprehensive standard audio system. Where the Honda Civic comes standard with just four speakers, the Corolla will come standard with a total of six speakers.

Exceptional Driving Range

One of the best parts of driving a compact sedan is the fuel economy that they bring to the table. These vehicles both feature similar fuel-economy ratings in general. Though, the Toyota Corolla has a slightly higher fuel capacity.

In order to provide you with an even longer driving range, the Toyota Corolla is equipped with a fuel-tank capacity of 13.2 gallons. Unfortunately, the Honda Civic won’t have you driving quite as far with its smaller fuel-tank capacity of 12.4 gallons.

Additionally, only the Corolla is available with a hybrid powertrain that allows it to achieve an EPA-estimated 53 city and 52 highway MPG fuel economy rating.¹ With that impressive efficiency, you’ll be able to travel far.
