The Honda Civic sedan remains the same spirit with 158 hp and 174 hp power surges alongside a fuel economy as high as 42 MPG for a base price of $19,750.

The 2020 Honda Civic comes unchanged with the same 158 hp and 174 hp I-4 engines for a starting price tag of $19,750, a marginal price surge of $200 from last year. That being said, its fuel economy of up to 42 MPG across its trim lineup of LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, and Touring is simply impressive in its own rights along with newly standardized Honda Sensing.

Available in over 4 exterior colors along with the a trunk capacity of 15.1 cu-ft, the Honda Civic is one fine sedan to challenge the likes of the Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3, and Hyundai Elantra. Starting at a lease deal of $260 per month, for 35 months with $2999 due at signing, it will confront a huge customer base yet again. However, the same is not true for its siblings Honda Civic Si and Honda Civic Coupe as they enter their final production year.

The EX trim of the 2020 Honda Civic has got the perfect blend of comfort with heated front seats and power adjustment. Also, the 7.0-inch infotainment system on the inside and 18-inch wheels on the outside with comparable safety gears and 1.5T I-4 make the case for this trim as one has got to pay a little extra in the higher trims for the same stuffs.

Honda civic options

Pros
I love the way it handles curves, I love that there are tons of upgrade and aftermarket options to add on if I want too.

Cons
I don't like that it's only a 4 or 6 cylinder., I don't like the metallic color or cloth seats.

Hi. So I've been searching for a newer car for months and after driving only BMWs, that is where I had set my heart. I had absolutely no intentions of buying this honda vehicle but after I had stumbled onto it at the Carlos, it was as if she was calling for me to purchase her.

Engine and Performance
8.5/10

"The optional turbocharged 1.5-liter engine delivers quick performance and excellent fuel economy. You have to upgrade to at least the EX trim to get it, but it's worth the cost. " - Edmunds

The 2020 Honda Civic sprints with two engines, one between them is the 2.0L I-4 that pumps 158 hp along with 138 lb.-ft. of torque. It thumps only for the EX and Sport trim and is coupled either with a 6-speed manual or a CVT in the standard FWD layout.

The other one under the hood is the 1.5T I-4 powertrain churning 174 HP and 162 lb-ft torque for the rest of the lineup. But it is hooked up with the CVT only in the same FWD platform. In addition to all these, a Driver Selectable Mode of ECON, Normal and Sport has been integrated too for the Sport & Touring.

Capable of dashing from 0-60 MPH in 8.2 seconds with a top speed of 119 MPH, the Honda Civic is equally impressive on the quarter-mile drag with its 16.3 seconds timing. However, the ABS and Brake Assist work in tandem with the 11.1-inch and 10.2-inch disc brakes to limit it within 184 ft for 70-0 MPH.

Models	2020 Honda Civic	2020 Toyota Corolla	2020 Mazda 3	2020 Hyundai Elantra
MSRP	$19,250	$21,950	$21,000	$21,835

Torque	138 lb-ft @ 4,200 RPM	151 lb-ft @ 4,400 RPM	186 lb-ft @ 4,000 RPM	132 lb-ft @ 4,500 RPM

Quarter Mile	16.3 sec	16.2 sec	16.2 sec	16.4 sec
Top Speed	119 MPH	112 MPH	116 MPH	116 MPH

As per figures, the Civic is nearly $2,500 less expensive than teh Corolla yet outclasses it in top speed by 7 MPH. The same stays true against the Elantra too that is a second slower in 0-60 MPH acceleration and 3 MPH in top speed pedaling.

Fuel Economy
9.5/10

"Honda proves that power and fuel efficiency need not be mutually exclusive." - Car and Driver

Returning a mileage of 29 MPG overall, the 2020 Honda Civic can travel 360 miles of daily commutes that can go over 440 miles too when cruising on the highways. However, the peak fuel economy gets better by 6 MPG as one switches the 2.0L I-4 by the 1.5T I-4 engine.

Model	2020 Honda Civic	2020 Toyota Corolla	2020 Mazda 3	2020 Hyundai Elantra
MPG (City)	25	29	27	30
MPG (Highway)	36	36	36	40
MPG (Combined)	29	32	30	34
Fuel Capacity (Gallons)	12.4	13.2	13.2	14
Range (City/Hwy/Combined) (Miles)	310/446/360	383/475/422	356/475/390	420/560/476

In terms of mileage, the Civic is 5 MPG less efficient than the Elantra and also has a 1.6-gallon smaller fuel tank. This helps the latter to have 116 miles extra combined range over the Civic. While, the Mazda 3 goes 30 miles more than the Honda, thanks to its 0.8-gallon bigger tank.

Interior
8.0/10

"While it doesn't offer the most optional comfort-and-convenience equipment in the compact class, it has enough of the good stuff for any small-car shopper." - Car and Driver

The 2020 Honda Civic's interior is chic and classy, with plenty of equipment laid out in a clutter-free manner. The cabin beholds heated front seats for comfort nestling from EX trim onwards while the Touring enjoys the snuggling of power heated row in the rear exclusively.

Speaking of the touches, the leather-trimmed clouds over seats and steering together are brought for EX-L and Touring but the rest has to setlle with cloth finish only. As far as cargo capacity is concerned, an engulf of 15.1 cu-ft remains the same throughout the lineup.

Model	2020 Honda Civic	2020 Toyota Corolla	2020 Mazda 3	2020 Hyundai Elantra
Seating Capacity	5	5	5	5
Front Row (Head/ Shoulder/ Leg) (in.)	39.3/ 57.0/ 42.3	38.3/ 54.0/ 42.0	38.0/ 54.8/ 42.3	40.6/ 56.5/ 42.3
Rear Row (Head/ Shoulder/ Leg) (in.)	37.1/ 55.0/ 37.4	37.1/ 51.7/ 34.8	37.2/ 53.5/ 35.1	37.3/ 55.6/ 38.0
Cargo Capacity (cu. ft.)	15.1	13.1	13.2	14.2

Based on the comparison, there is a 2.2 cu-ft larger trunk in the back of the Civic than the Corolla and the Mazda. However, that cargo deficit advantage reduces to 0.9 cu-ft against the Elantra. Aprt from these, one gets 5.0-inch touchscreen and a 4-speaker audio as standards in the LX edition.

A 7-inch touchscreen along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility is also employed for the rest of the lineup except LX. On top of that, the Touing configuration integrates Honda Satellite-Link Navigation System and 450-Watt Premium Audio System too inside the ambiance.

"The sedan’s shape channels the Accord, other fastback sedans, and even some luxury sedans, with a sleek roofline." - TheCarConnection

With a coupe-Esque roofline, imposing grille, slim side profile, and a curvy yet elegant rear-end, the 2020 Honda Civic makes sure it gets noticed. Styled in 8 exterior colors such as Crystal Black Pearl, Cosmic Blue Metallic, Aegean Blue Metallic, Rallye Red, Modern Steel Metallic, Lunar Silver Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, and Molten Lava Pearl, it radiates an exhilarating outlook overall.

The Honda Civic rides flawlessly on the 16-inch, 17-inch and 18-inch wheels depending on the trim level. However, they are those LED headlights that start to make distinction among as it favors specifically Touring trim only while the projector beam halogen comes as a commoner for all. Despite that variation, the Automatic Lighting stands incorporated for both halogen and LED lighting.

Model	2020 Honda Civic	2020 Toyota Corolla	2020 Mazda 3	2020 Hyundai Elantra
Curb Weight (lbs.)	2,771	3,110	3,100	2,725

Ground Clearance (in.)	6.3	5.3	5.5	5.3
Wheelbase (in.)	106.3	106.3	107.3	107.1

Among all, the 2020 Civic and 2020 Elantra are comparatively lighter than the Corolla and Mazda 3 by some 250 lbs that assists the former in having better stability round the corner. That advantage stays relevant while hard braking for redeuced diving. In addition, the Civic has been designed to sit 1 inch higher from the ground because of which the base platform is protected from the gravels and undulations.

2020 Honda Civic vs Toyota Corolla

The Toyota Corolla stands firm against the 2020 Honda Civic. The Corolla, when compared to the Civic, has got some serious dominance in practicality and performance both. But the seating arrangement is somewhat comparable between the two. Therefore, one should go for the Corolla in the first place for its better proposition.

2020 Honda Civic vs Mazda 3

Sharp yet understated looks, comfortable and lush interiors along with athletic driving dynamics perfectly describe the Mazda 3. Sharing its homeland lineage with the Civic, the Mazda 3 is a strong contender in this segment. And one may go for either of the two for their parallel tech-ends and safety prowess.

2021 Honda Civic Vs 2021 Hyundai Elantra

Though the 2020 Hyundai Elantra has got better range frugality, it struggles in the cargo volume and seating organization against the 2020 Honda Civic. However, they surely are at par with each other in terms of performance dynamics and technology pursuits. So, both are equally desitable.

Final Verdict

The 2020 Honda Civic Sedan is undoubtedly a great car, one that idealizes the sync between performance, economy, and comfort. The base 2.0L I-4 engine is in typical Honda fashion a rev-happy motor, but go for the 1.5L turbocharged engine, and see the fun of driving elevate. The Honda Civic is an appealing package with multiple variants and lots of tech and features, capped with respectable utilitarian capabilities.
