Toyota Camry vs. Honda Civic

When picking out a car, performance and efficiency likely sit high on your list of considerations. Both models offer multiple engines to choose from. However, the Toyota Camry brings extra oomph with a standard 2.5-liter Dynamic Force 4-cylinder engine delivering up to 206 horsepower.

Over in the Honda Civic, you’ll find a somewhat less responsive 158-horsepower motor on the base trim, so you’re sure to see a difference in the way these two sedans perform.

Want to kick things up a notch? Choose the Camry with its available 3.5-liter V6 engine. This stealthy engine produces 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. You’ll experience heart-pumping acceleration and an effortless drive wherever you go with this engine configuration.

For a bit more power, you can upgrade your Honda Civic to a 180-horsepower engine, which falls short of both the Camry’s base powertrain and its performance-enhanced powertrain.

Inside each sedan, you’ll also find seating for up to five passengers so your friends can head out on the town with you. In terms of both trunk space and passenger volume, though, the 2022 Toyota Camry offers a bit more:

As you can see, the Camry has more room for your passengers to stretch out, which everyone will be grateful for on the next road trip. Fitting an extra bag of groceries will be a breeze in the Camry as well, thanks to the extra cargo room in the trunk.

Passenger comfort is essential, especially when you plan to be on the road for miles. That’s why the dual zone automatic climate control feature on the Toyota and the Honda is a crucial feature. It allows you and your copilot to set individual temperatures so you can keep on cruising. The only difference is that this feature is standard on the Camry and available on the Civic.

The Toyota continues to prioritize passenger comfort by offering three available seating materials, which include:

On the other hand, the Honda only offers its standard material and available leather-trimmed seats.

Inside the cabins of these sedans, you’ll find standard 7-inch touchscreen displays that allow you to access certain apps, follow directions, and more.

In terms of your playlist, however, the standard audio system in the 2022 Toyota Camry may make it pop more with six speakers placed all around the interior of your sedan. On the other hand, the Civic comes standard with four speakers, so you may have a harder time trying to hear your favorite song.

Another convenient feature, found only on the Camry, is an optional 10-inch color Head-Up Display. It projects key trip details—like your current speed and turn-by-turn directions—directly onto the windshield so you can keep your eyes forward.

Without this system in the Honda Civic, you’ll need to take your eyes off the unpredictable road ahead to view important driving information.
