The Honda Civic has a base inline-four 2-liter engine with 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. On the other hand, the Honda Accord base engine is a more powerful 192-horsepower inline-four 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with 192 pound-feet torque. Unlike the new Honda Accord, the Civic gives you a wide range of engine options such as the inline-four 2-liter turbocharged engine and several inline-four 1.5-liter turbocharged engines with different power ratings based on the trim configuration you buy in Bay Shore.
Fuel Efficiency
Although both vehicles are conservative on fuel, the Honda Accord slightly outshines the Honda Civic. The Civic can achieve up to 37 miles-per-gallon on the highway, while the Accord achieves an outstanding 38 miles-per-gallon on the highway when they are both equipped with six-speed automatic transmission, as estimated by the EPA.
The Honda Civic and Accord are both available in hybrids. Unlike conventional vehicles that solely rely on petrol or diesel, the hybrid sedans rely on an electric motor. These hybrids are environment conserving because they emit little greenhouse gases into their atmosphere to cause air pollution.
