What Makes the Civic Better than the Corolla?
Interior
The interior of the 2022 Civic Sedan is the primary factor of why it dominates the Corolla, especially when everyone is loaded in the vehicle. The Civic provides exceptional interior space, with better ergonomics, topped off with a premium look and feel. Cupholders, chargers, and controls are easily located thanks to the redesigned interior console and dashboard layout, while everything you can manipulate in the Civic Touring’s interior feels like it’s borrowed from a more expensive car. Lastly, the sightlines in the Civic are far superior than the Corolla, with clearer fields of vision from all angles, for both driver and passengers, leading to a more immersive driving experience for everyone.
Safety & Technology
The 2022 Civic Touring features not only more advanced technology than the 2022 Corolla XSE, but more smartly-integrated technology. From USB ports, to the wireless charging pad, everything in the Civic is smartly positioned to maximize available space, while ensuring that everything is easy to access without feeling cluttered. The Civic offers more advanced safety than the Corolla as well, while the Corolla offers the typical lane keeping assist systems that have been around for years, the 2022 Civic offers driver assist more akin to Tesla. The system not only displays all the vehicles around you right on the instrument cluster, it also helps keep you centered in your lane and assists your steering.
Performance
While the Corolla offers an exceptional driving experience, the Civic drives and handles even better. Featuring a smarter transmission, which automatically revs up the engine to help slow you down when going down big hills, it’s a key factor into why the Civic feels like a better drive when compared to the Corolla. For the hard instrumental numbers, the 2022 Honda Civic accelerates from 0-100km/h faster than the Corolla.
