When you are talking about two quality vehicles like the 2021 Toyota Corolla and the 2021 Honda Civic, you shouldn’t expect to find huge differences. The fact is that both the Corolla and Civic have a lot to offer, and it isn’t surprising that both the Civic and the Corolla are among the best vehicles not only in their respective segments, but in the industry in general.
Still, there are differences between the 2021 Corolla and the 2021 Honda Civic. For example, the Toyota Corolla is more efficient than the Honda Civic. It also has a much more convenient and easier-to-use infotainment system. And its resale value and reliability have received higher ratings in recent years. Let’s take a closer look by looking at that last point first.
Better resale value and reliability
The 2021 Toyota Corolla and 2021 Honda Civic are both considered reliable, but the Corolla has gained an advantage ever since Honda switched to the 1.5-litre turbo optional engine. The Corolla, meanwhile, ranked 1 out of 36 cars with a reliability rating of 4.5/5 according to Repair Pal. The Honda Civic ranked in 3rd place in that same ranking.
In terms of resale value, Toyota has earned the best resale value award from KBB multiple times in the last five years. Honda has never won the award.
Better efficiency in the 2021 Toyota Corolla compared to the 2021 Honda Civic
The 2021 Toyota Corolla offers two engines, just like the Honda Civic. In both cases, when paired with an automatic gearbox, the Corolla averages better fuel economy ratings than the Civic.

The 2021 Toyota Corolla also has another ace up its sleeve, specifically an available hybrid version that averages 4.5 litres per 100 kilometres. You won’t find a more efficient compact sedan anywhere.
