New Honda Civic hatchback VS Toyota Corolla hatchback comparison

#ToyotaCorolla
#HondaCivic
#hatchback
This is a Motormouth couple car comparison of the Honda Civic hatchback and the Toyota Corolla hatchback. The Civic is 7 inches longer than the Corolla hatchback. They both offer about the same front legroom, but the Civic shines with second row space. It has over 7 inches more legroom and offers more than 6.5 cubic feet more space behind the second row compared to the Toyota. The Civic Hatchback has two engine options, the base engine is a 2L 4-cylinder matched with a CVT or 6-speed manual, 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. The second is a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder, 180 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. Standard FWD and you can put regular gas in this turbo. The Toyota Corolla Hatchback has a 2L 4 cylinder with a CVT or a 6-speed manual, 168 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Standard FWD.The Honda Civic hatchback has a higher starting price than the Corolla at $28,000 CAD/$22,900 USD for either the CVT or 6-speed manual. The Corolla with a manual transmission starts at $21,390 CAD/$20,815 USD and with the CVT $22,390 CAD/$21,915 USD. In Canada, the base trim of the Civic only comes with the 2L 4-cylinder engine but in the US, there are two trims with this base engine. The Civic comes standard with a 7” touchscreen and an optional 9” touchscreen on the top 1.5T trim. The Corolla comes standard with an 8” touchscreen, which is the largest size screen offered. The Civic also gets an available 10.2” digital driver display, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a moonroof, a power passenger seat and heated rear seats, which the Corolla does not have. Although, the Corolla hatchback is more budget friendly and has a lower starting price, it offers less space, there is no option of a more powerful engine and it comes with less available features compared to the Civic hatchback. There is a touch of elegance to this Civic hatchback with the striking honeycomb mesh accent that stretches across the dash from door to door hiding the air vents and creating a uncluttered design. Honda says, focused on high quality materials especially on touch points. Materials were chosen for practicality including the centre console design to hide smudges and fingerprints. The hatchback comes standard with a 7” touchscreen, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, manual driver and passenger seats and heated front seats. One up from the base model, which only comes with the 1.5L turbocharged engine in Canada includes, a moonroof, a heated leather wrapped steering wheel and synthetic leather and cloth upholstery. The top trim is where you’ll find the 9” touchscreen, 10.2” digital driver display, wireless charger, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, power driver and passenger seats, heated rear seats, leather trimmed seating surfaces and a Bose 12-speaker audio system. The Corolla hatchback offers a comfortable interior with a spacious front row for this class. The interior design is clean and simple with a mix of materials making for a very pleasant interior. It comes standard with an 8” touchscreen which is the only size available, Apple Carplay and Android Auto and a 6-speaker audio system. One up from the base model has heated front seats and a leather wrapped steering wheel. To get extra features like a heated steering wheel and wireless charger you have to go up one more trim to the SE Upgrade for an extra $1800 CAD. The top trim has a power driver seat, dual zone automatic climate control, a JBL audio system and mixed fabric and softex seats.

It’s a hard choice but a Toyota made in Japan still means something.

Yes made i N japan is better.👍

[@austinatomTV]

My thoughts exactly!

[@microminiskirt]

@@austinatomTV Makes me wonder about Japanese cars made in USA have more problems? Like a Toyota Camry made in USA vs. Toyota Corolla made in JAPAN? Same for Hondas as all of Honda cars are made in USA and and Honda reliability went down.🤔🤔

[@carlhensley3823]

That's why I bought a corolla hatchback

[@the-truth-hurts]

Very nice clear review. My wife and I bought a Civic Hatch, sport touring (in the U.S.). The safety (physical & tech), extra space, overall utility, handling, power and looks were decisive. It also has a certain fun factor. We take the occasional long road trip so extra luggage and leg room is important. We keep our cars a long time so the cost is effectively spread out over years. We've owned Toyota, Hyundai and others, but this is the first Honda. So far we're totally loving it. It's just a really nice car. The Civic Hatch is an IIHS top safety pick+. That's huge and was our #1 consideration in buying it. A bit surprising this key fact is not in your review. Oh - and another factor for us: it's NOT an SUV! We didn't like Kona or Corolla Cross ALSO: in our area Honda was one of the few dealers not demanding some $5,000 or more in markup over MSRP. That really changes the equation.

[@jaroslawakmiot666]

Civics are made in Indiana. Corollas in Japan. As an example what difference it makes: Turkish made Toyota C-HR has a Chinese made 35 Ah battery and they are notorious for failing fast in colder climates. Japanese made C-HR has 65 Ah battery ( made by Denso). Thank you. No other comments.

[@shawnmichael6190]

I'm surprised everyone's leaning towards Civic I just bought a brand new Corolla hatchback for specific reasons it did not have a turbo you don't want that it makes your car less reliable the Toyota also got a higher fuel rating as well as it is more compact which is what I want the Civic is now a big sedan not cool that's the whole reason you're buying this type of vehicle is for the reliability and high fuel mileage if you guys want turbos and horsepower with handling performance why not just buy a Corvette then when your turbo blows out take out a loan to get it fixed

[@microminiskirt]

This is so true. I know because I have a C-6 Corvette. I won't touch the new Corvette because I am priced out of that market and the new Corvette is ugly and too complicated asking for more problems and 🤑cost too much to buy and maintain. I get 18 MPG to 28 MPG on my Corvette but I need more cargo space.

[@microminiskirt]

This is so true. I know because I have a C-6 Corvette as a daily driver. I won't touch the new Corvette because I am priced out of that market and wouldn't spend $100,000 for any vehicle even if I could afford it. The new Corvette is ugly with those off the shelf Camaro tail lights for cost cutting measures and too complicated asking for more problems as it already has and 🤑cost too much to buy and maintain. I get 18 MPG to 28 MPG on my Corvette which has proven to be reliable for a 17 year old vehicle. BUT I need more cargo space.

[@squirrelnasty]

Just saying to all those talking about build quality and quality between the 2 just remember that a lot of the cars made by Toyota come from Japan. Most of the cars that are made by Honda are made in American. That being said American made stuff used to be awesome but I think I will go with the Japan made stuff nowadays!!!!! TOYOTA QUALITY

[@microminiskirt]

Yes I concur with you 100%. MADE IN JAPAN IS #1 over made in USA.😁👍. Less problems and less recalls.

[@lb9007]

Very professional both of you. Thanks.

[@gianfrancoa]

The Corolla has a more reliable engine. Honda's 1.5T didn't have a good start, so still needs to prove itself

[@SIIKAP1]

Get the 2.0 Civic and you’ll have legendary reliability. K series is beast.

[@microminiskirt]

THE CIVIC HAS A TURBO 1.5 MORE POWER BUT LESS RELISBILITY

[@microminiskirt]

IS THAT BECAUSE THE TURBO MAKES THE HONDA NOT AS RELIABLE WITH MORE MAINTENANCE?

[@jrs9264]

Biggest difference is that you can get Toyota at a reasonable price. Honda dealers are greedy nuts, who think they are selling Rolls Royce.🤯🤬

[@armandoramos1949]

Thank you for this valuable information, I am a big Corolla fan but the extra space in the back looks great. Price is a big thing to consider as I am on a tight budget. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day. More power to you both.

[@Motormouth...]

Glad it was helpful! - Andrea

[@scottburke4800]

Another great review of two very good cars. Yes the pricing for the Civic seems out of whack for the segment however it’s not affecting sales as much as it could. As of October it’s still the best selling sedan/car in Canada.

[@Motormouth...]

Fair enough!

[@adifferentangle7064]

At least they sell somewhere. Honda's are not very popular in Australia, so despite having similar reliability they lose value and are harder to maintain long term. This means picking up older low km ones is a good second hand option, but it's a bit of a deal breaker in the new market.

[@deadfishparty]

Thanks guys. We are cross shopping these two and as much as I like the Civic the Corolla’s discount is hard to beat, especially at my price. You can always argue if you spend a little more you’ll get a little better but where does that end? Really enjoy your head to head comparisons.

[@wendel6]

Love the new Civic far more than the Corolla, but there is no comparison between American vs. Japanese build quality. It's too bad we can't purchase Hondas from Japan.

[@andyw4190]

I have a 2019 SE upgrade, it's a really nice commuter car. Can't complain at this price point with all the options you can get.

[@Mr1wd]

Civic is trying to price itself into premium segment. We all know how well that went for Mazda.

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Yep. The Mazda3 looks good on the outside but underneath it's full of quality control problem. Squeaks and rattles galore as well a/c issues and software glitches. Not good. Go to the Mazda 3 forum and read the threads.

[@the-truth-hurts]

It is pretty premium though. You get a lot for that extra money over Toyota. The Mazda is also too much engine so it gets less fuel economy.

[@mh0Ang95]

At $29 and some change grand the civic hatchback offers so much more. Plus it looks amazing with this refresh!

[@islandon22]

Both are great cars. We looked at both. We settled with the Civic. The handling was sharper, made you feel more connected. The 1.5t is all you need. These are after all, each brand's Bottom Feeder. As far as looks, we got a Gen X when we saw the Civic Xl.

[@Winterstick549]

Actually, Hondas bottom feeder is the Fit, while Toyotas is the Yaris. Between those two the Fit wins in every category. Tough choice between Corolla and Civic.

[@1717jbs]

Always good! Thanks.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thanks for watching!

[@kellingtonlink956]

Honda has slightly slipped in quality over the past few years. I don’t think this was the time to price their small car like a mid-size car. Over $35 grand is a lot of money ... especially for a small non-CUV non-performance FWD vehicle. I agree that Toyota will take the number one spot... and ALL because of the price difference. The Toyota has proven to been quite a reliable brand and has nailed the entry level (first car/first new car) price point. Thanks for another comparison video.

[@microminiskirt]

Yes because HONDA is no longer in the economy car price range🤑 like the Toyota Corolla is suppose to be minus stealership mark ups during this so called parts shortage and micro chip shortage.🤢🤮

[@thecarnut9899]

Toyotas quality has gone down, especially on certain models, and the Hond civic’s starting price is 24,950 for the hatchback and 23,950 for the sedan

Corolla hatchback built in JAPAN ??? Sign me up Toyota

[@sullivanocean]

I traded my 2019 Civic Sport Hatchback Touring for the 2022 Civic Sport Hatchback Touring. I hear people discussing the price. 2022 is much better than the 2019 model I had. It is much better in so many ways and is a truly great car. They have improved this car drastically over the previous generation. Handling is better, interior space greater, dash better, seats better, sound dampening better. It is a remarkably balanced car that is a pleasure to drive. Best car I have ever owned. I have owned a couple dozen vehicles.

[@andrewcarpenean1207]

Your first review on the redesigned 2022 Civic was instrumental in my purchase. I did get a hatchback model, an automatic, but not at the price point mentioned here. Base model price was $23,900 in the states. Being 6'6" I wouldn't normally fit well in a Honda sedan, but with this redesign I fit in it like a glove. As Andrea mentioned in that previous video Honda hit a home run and I couldn't agree more!

[@CT37BN]

Civic having just been released I can understand the price difference against much older Corolla hatch and even it's slightly newer SUV counterpart. Love and high praise for both cars/brands but am leaning more towards Civic for space.

[@garthhowe297]

The Civic pricing puts it right up against the Camry (or a RAV4). That seems overpriced to me.

[@mylifethaidiy7045]

I would take the Corolla Hatchback. The traditional hatchback is more practical for hauling transmissions and engines on parts runs. Honda needs to bring back the traditional hatchback, like the Honda Fit, but even when the Fit was new, they were so much more expensive than a Corolla. Americans don't have much disposable income anymore and they will go to who is the cheapest now, including off brands.

[@kevinW826]

For me the Corolla hatchback wins. The Honda dealership in Milton was not inviting, the salesman I was suppose to talk to, didn’t even show up. The rest of the staff looked like they had no clue what they were doing. As for the civic. I don’t see what the big deal is. It felt cheap, there were squeaks and rattle in my tester. It felt numb, no connection to the road. It felt like I was driving a Buick. Boring.

Honda deserves the poor sales. They totally shit on the Canadian market. The Hatchback should have been built at the Allison plant, cause we love Hatchbacks here in Canada. If so, that base Civic Hatchback would have a starting price 20% less then current and we would have gotten an Hatchback Si. My 10th Gen 6MT LX Sedan will be my last Honda.

I was in support of Honda products because they were built in Canada. Right now I have fewer reasons. We should consider that also.

Civic's better engines and upmarket interior certainly worth its price premium over equivalent Corolla. But Corolla is definitely a worthy choice in the compact segment. As an owner of previous generation Civic Sport, I would choose it all over again if its the new generation. Or a Mazda3 2.5T as a close second choice.

[@sbombfitness]

I'd pick the Civic cuz of the much bigger size and space. If you're just driving yourself or a couple other people, they're both fine, but if you're frequently driving with 3 or 4 passengers, then the Civic's larger size would definitely be worth the price discrepancy.

[@TalismanPHX]

It's a shame North America is not supplied with Skoda vehicles, here in Europe Skoda is a contender and their Octavia would be a great rival to either of these cars. Being of the older generation I seem to remember Toyota made the Corolla in hatchback and a longer fastback, as well as an estate/station wagon. It would be nice if the latest Corolla had the fastback option.

[@TurfSurf]

Honda Civic hatch for me if I was in the market for a hatch. Corolla and Civic used to the be in the same category, but Civic has grown and now is way bigger than Corolla. Civic is compact in name only, it's almost a mid-size car in terms of the space and its size, yet Corolla is more like a subcompact car.

This is a bit of an apples to oranges comparison. The Civic is bigger (7 inches longer and almost an inch wider) and more expensive and is pretty much an Accord except in name. The Corolla Hatch is a "world car" that's smaller than either the Mazda3 or the Impreza. These aren't cars people are likely to cross-shop anymore; the Toyota is what it's always been but the Civic is really a mid-sized sports-tourer.

[@the-truth-hurts]

You're correct on the length: 179" vs. 172" but the width of these 2 cars is exactly the same. I just got this Civic Hatch last month. If I could shave a few inches off the front end that would make it that much easier to park. Your point that it's hard to make this comparison has some truth to it. In general, a lot of sedans have tended to get longer than they should.

Let's hope Honda sales goes down or else otber car manufacturers will raise price also if Honda is still selling alot

6-speed civic base trim > Any trim Corolla if you like manual car.

2022 Kia Forte 5 GT when it comes out is a better comparison

Civic hatch in previous gen look so much better. Corolla look too plane inside. New civic price is more like accord now

[@tomdrummy4984]

I think at one point they were both basic transportation. The civic is no longer that……and is much more car than the Toyota. Interior quality is much better on Honda, so it should be more $$

[@soundadviceb2b]

honda will not give up the crown ....promos and better leasing %

[@kylenewberry2598]

Just think the civic is too big to compete in this segment now. Personally I'd take a Mazda3 hatch over both and certainly over a specd out civic.

[@microminiskirt]

Why the Mazda 3 over the Toyota Corolla? I don't care about Honda as it is made in the USA and is butt ugly.🤢🤮and overpriced🤑.

[@kylenewberry2598]

@@microminiskirt the new civic looks great imho. And mazda for better tranny and interior plus equal reliability

@@kylenewberry2598 Thanks for that info. I will look into the Mazda 3. I don't know much about these cars as I was born and raised on 10 MPG V8 cars . I know the Mazda Miata is made in Japan and my brother has one but it's just too small and impractical for me to make those Costco Club runs. I need Cargo space with seats that fold down. I don't drive people around so rear seat space doesn't matter to me. What does matter to me of significant importance is just cargo space as long as seats fold down. The reason I liked the Corolla was it was a hatchback with sporty styling and was available with a 6 spd. manual for FUN driving with what little engine it had with 4 cylinders but now I understand the 6 spd. manual is no longer available on all Toytota Corollas across the board for remainder of 2022 and 2023. So Goodbye Toyota.

@@microminiskirt yeah the shifter will be better in her mazda as well as suspension. But you can only get the stick in a top trim on the 3.

[@microminiskirt]

@@kylenewberry2598 Makes me wonder what the price is on this Mazda 3? I will have to check it out and I need cargo space not people space. Will the Mazda 3 be as reliable and low cost maintenance like the Toyota brand Corolla? How is the performance on the Mazda 3 with stick shift manual?

[@austinatomTV]

Get the Corolla. The rear of the civic looks blocky and weird. And Corolla is built in Japan still

just get the mazda3. The pricing for the civic hatch makes no sense.

[@microminiskirt]

How is the reliability of the Mazda 3 and is it offerred with a manual transmission like a 6 spd. manual? Don't want no CVT transmission like Toyota is discontinuing the 6 spd. manual across the board on all Corollas.

[@carenthusiast4984]

I went for the Mazda 3 2.5 liter hatchback. Better than both in my books.

[@pcthayer]

Not sure if you are in the State too, but down here you have to get the top of the line to get the manual. (When you spend that much, it is so close to the price of the turbo (which doesn't offer a manual) it isn't worth the price for the manual.

[@carenthusiast4984]

Try and buy a new Civic. I was interested in a Sport trim with manual transmission and my local dealer wanted $3K over MSRP for it. What thieves.
