The midsize sedan class is one of the most crowded on the market as many drivers are drawn to the amenities, fuel efficiency, and practicality of these vehicles. In your search for the perfect one for you, you've likely notice two popular class stand-outs: the 2020 Toyota Corolla and the 2020 Honda Accord. With both seeming similar at first glance, which should you ultimately choose? Let's take a look at a few key aspects to find your winner.
If you're considering purchasing a midsize sedan for everyday driving, you'll want something that blends ample power and high fuel efficiency to keep costs down and maximize your time on the road. With a base 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine the 2020 Corolla leads over the Accord in fuel efficiency, so you'll be able to spend more time driving and less time hunting down the nearest gas station. Though the Accord offers more horsepower and torque in its engine options, you'll end up paying for the additional power with lesser fuel economy and more guzzled gas.
Drivers have come to expect a lot from the infotainment offerings of their vehicles, and rightly so. The Toyota Corolla offers a clear advantage over the Honda Accord. While the accord holds Apple CarPlay® out until higher trims, the Corolla not only offers it as a standard feature, but throws in Amazon Alexa capability and a Wi-Fi hotspot as a standard feature. Plus, the Corolla offers Siri® Eyes Free as a standard feature, so you can keep your eyes on the road and let Siri handle incoming notifications and information requests. No matter where the road takes you in your Corolla, you'll have all of your favorite in-car entertainment at your fingertips.
Both sedans come standard with cloth seating and offer leather-appointed seats in higher trims, and the cabin space is comparable between the two vehicles, with only an inch or so separating the Accord and Corolla.
Staying safe on the road is of the utmost importance, and Toyota has made that easier than ever with the Toyota Safety Sense suite that offers a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, cyclist detection, a lane keeping system with steering assist, a road edge detection with sway warning, automatic high beams, road sign assist, lane tracing assist, and a full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control. By comparison, the Accord only offers a collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and lane keeping assist as standard safety features.
