Honda Civic and Toyota
Grande are both major revenue generators for Toyota Indus and Honda Atlas
respectively. As we all know about the contention between these two
biggest competitors and it is a known fact
that this contention between the two biggest brands will
last forever. Both of these
cars are sedan and this review is only about the 1.8 variants
because of the differences within layouts of the other variants. There is no
doubt that both cars have an amazing
and stylish interior design with
specifications meeting luxury. Toyota
Grande has modern and elegant led lights on the front and
on the back and as well on the back while
the facelift shape has auto levelling bi-beam
headlights. If we talk about the interior of Toyota Grande, it is a
3 dimensional interior with soft touching paddles creating a luxury feel which ensures a comfortable drive. The engine Toyota Grande uses is 7 speed CVT along with paddle shifters which
ensures smooth manual shifts just by pushing/pulling the shifters provided
below the steering. The average of this variant ranges from 12-14 km/h. On contrary to this, the engine used by
Honda civic is 1790. Grande for sure has an edge over the power and speed
due to its 7-speed transmission but still cannot beat Honda in terms of Comfort
and Road Grip. Also Honda’s Interior is much more better than corolla in terms
of luxury as it delivers you luxury and comfort one asks for. One major difference identified in the rear
cabin of the cars is the lack of rear A/c vent in corolla along with a break
hold option. Corolla uses the manual hand-break system like being used since
its arrival. Honda delivers all
these features that Toyota lacks hence takes an edge over the comfort and
luxury

Due to the
price factor Honda has kept some of its function as an option which includes
leather seats.
If we talk about the
performance corolla delivers, its engine
produces 138hp while Honda’s engine delivers 141 hp in civic that helps achieve
Honda to achieve 0 to 100 in 11 sec while corolla does it in 10 seconds. Although
Hp generated by Honda is more than that of Toyota still it covers 0-100km/h
speed late due to the heavy body and slow pick-speed
If we talk about the
price, both cars have a cost of approximately 3.5 million(invoice as per 2019)
which is very high price but the price changes due to changes in dollar price
in Pakistan. One of the marketing strategy opted by Toyota is extending their
warranty for 3 years while Honda has not yet opted for this.
To conclude, Both of
the cars have their own point of differentiation. Carolla delivers power while
Civic dilevers luxury which leaves the decision to you. Your preferences will
help you in your buying decision.
