Why the 2023 Toyota Corolla Has One Important Thing The Honda Civic Does Not Have

The Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic have been competitors for the longest time. The Honda Civic has better advantages than the Corolla in some areas.

However, the 2023 Toyota Corolla has one big thing the Honda Civic does not have. It’s an efficient hybrid powertrain.

The 2023 Toyota Corolla offers an efficient hybrid powertrain. If you want a vehicle with better fuel economy, then the 2023 Toyota Corolla is a better choice. Fuel is quickly becoming very expensive in Nigeria, and with a car like this, you can save a ton on fuel consumption. 

An efficient car like the 2023 Toyota Corolla hybrid can save you a great deal of money over the long haul. 

Honda offers the Civic hybrid, but there’s no certainty if it’s in Nigeria yet. What’s currently available is the fully gas-powered model. 

The 2023 Toyota Corolla hybrid has a higher gas mileage than the 2023 Civic.

The hybrid powertrain in the Corolla Hybrid combines a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine with two electric motors. It enables the compact car to get a fuel-sipping estimated gas mileage of 53 cities and 46 highway mpg.

Fuel economy for the Corolla Hybrid is also aided by a regenerative braking system, which captures the energy created by the friction from braking, and then routes it to the battery. Additionally, there’s an Eco-driving mode in the Corolla Hybrid.

Comparing the gas mileage of both of them, the 2023 Honda Civic gets an estimated gas mileage of up to 33 cities and 42 highway mpg. While the fuel economy is similar to the fully-gas powered version of the Corolla (31 city/ 40 highway mpg), it’s significantly less than the Corolla Hybrid, especially the city driving. Compared to the Civic, the Corolla Hybrid gets 10 more mpg for city driving and four more mpg for highway driving.

2023 Toyota Corolla Vs. 2023 Honda Civic Driving System

Corolla also offers an all-wheel drive system, but all Civic models have front-wheel drive. This is another thing that the Corolla offers you won’t find in the Civic models. 

The available all-wheel drive system for the Corolla provides enhanced traction on uneven surfaces and slippery roads. The AWD-equipped Corolla is a particularly good choice for drivers that live in a place with harsh road conditions.
