Performance Features
Toyota builds the 2023 Corolla with a 2.0-liter engine block based on the iconic Dynamic Force concept. This standard I-4 powertrain generates 169 net horsepower through naturally aspirated combustion. A torque score of 151 pound-feet is another respectable specification of this standard engine. By contrast, the 2023 Honda Civic extracts only 158 hp from a default engine that displaces approximately 2.0 L. This basic powertrain can’t deliver more than 138 lb-ft of torque. You’ll have to dish out a lot more money on a turbocharged engine to surpass the Dynamic Force powerhouse. Regardless of the engine, the Civic sedan runs on a continuously variable transmission. Incorporating the Dynamic-Shift platform, the 2023 Corolla’s CVT system has more flair and sporty capabilities. Nevertheless, both compact sedans offer up to three selectable driving modes. You could even buy the Toyota model with a hybrid powertrain paired with the exclusive Electronic On-Demand AWD. Hybrid technology and an AWD are not available for the 2023 Civic. With management from the Eco Mode, the Corolla hybrid model boasts a 47-mpg rating on urban roads. The Honda rival can’t get more than 33 mpg in the city.
Technology Features
Having a floating orientation on the 2023 Toyota Corolla’s dashboard, an updated infotainment system provides abundant options for digital services. A pinch-to-zoom function is available for the crisp 8-inch touchscreen. Whether from a smartwatch or smartphone, you can precisely control the sedan’s multimedia system and ignition through the Remote Connect app. The infotainment system also responds to commands from remote devices synced with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Using natural voice commands, you can engage the digital assistants in the Drive Connect portal. Hosted on a cloud, the integrated GPS navigation system delivers directions with pinpoint accuracy. You simply won’t find as many advanced apps from the 2023 Civic’s HondaLink suite. The Wi-Fi Connect gives the Toyota sedan another well-earned victory in the connectivity category.
Safety Features
Featuring the version 3.0 release, the 2023 Corolla’s Toyota Safety Sense system instills tremendous confidence behind the wheel. You will get a handful of crash-mitigation technologies in the TSS 3.0 package, like the all-new Proactive Driving Assist. By comparison, the 2023 Civic’s Honda Sensing technology seems a bit outdated. For instance, the standard Forward Collision Warning hasn’t evolved much over the years. If you need supplemental cues when driving on multi-lane roads, get the optional Blind Spot Monitor for the 2023 Corolla. Thanks to 10 airbags, this compact Toyota sedan sits at the top of the class regarding passive safety. Additionally, the head-impact protection structure and energy-dissipating steering wheel are standard on this reliable vehicle.
