2025 Honda Civic Sedan vs 2025 Toyota Corolla
When it comes to styling, both the 2025 Honda Civic Sedan and the Toyota Corolla have sleek profiles. But Civic brings in something more. It feels cleaner. More refined. It has that sporty edge, especially with its sharp front end and honeycomb grille. The available 18-inch wheels and LED headlights just add to the charm. Corolla looks good too, but the design feels a bit familiar. Nothing bold. Nothing new.
Real Power You Can Feel
Driving in Edmonton means handling snow, slush, and sometimes long highway stretches. This is where the Civic stands out. The new hybrid trims now give you up to 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque. That's a lot of punch for a small car. The regular gas model still offers up to 150 horsepower, which feels light and smooth around the city.
Corolla’s engines aren’t bad. But even its top trims don’t match the Civic's hybrid numbers. The Corolla XSE Hybrid has eAWD, which helps in bad weather, but its power is modest. So if you love a bit of excitement on your commute, Civic’s got more to give.
It’s Just More Fun to Drive
The Civic is known for handling. This one takes it further with independent multi-link rear suspension and four drive modes. Sport mode gives you quicker response. ECON mode saves fuel. You can even pick your own settings with the Individual mode.
Corolla drives well too, but it doesn’t feel as responsive. The steering isn’t as sharp. The Civic just feels more connected to the road, especially in tight corners or when you’re merging onto the Whitemud in a hurry.
Comfort That Feels Thoughtful
Inside, the Civic is calm and minimal. The seats are supportive. Rear passengers won’t feel cramped. And you can fold the back seats down 60/40 to make more space. Whether you’re heading to Elk Island for a weekend or just grabbing groceries at Southgate, it adjusts easily.
Civic also offers a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, and available rear heated seats. Corolla matches some of that, but Civic’s materials and layout just feel a bit more upscale.
Technology That Stays One Step Ahead
Every Civic comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also get a 7-inch or available 9-inch touchscreen, and even Google built-in on higher trims. Add in a 12-speaker BOSE sound system and things get premium fast.
Corolla also includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. But the infotainment system is more basic unless you go for the top trims. And while both have great safety tech, Honda’s system feels more intuitive and offers features like front and rear parking sensors and multi-angle rearview camera as standard on more trims.
Peace of Mind Comes Standard
Honda Sensing is included across all Civic trims. It gives you forward collision warning, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and more. Toyota Safety Sense is also solid, but many of its top safety features only come on higher trims.
Civic’s visibility is also better, thanks to its sharp-cornered windshield and low dash. In busy Edmonton traffic or when driving on icy backroads, better visibility can make all the difference.
