The Honda Civic and Accord have both been mainstays on U.S. highways since their stateside arrivals in the 1970s, and their reputations are built on responsible fuel consumption and supreme safety. If you’re interested in a pre-owned Honda sedan but can’t decide between the compact Civic and midsize Accord, let us make the differences and similarities clear by comparing their 2017 models.
Passenger and Cargo Space
Even though Honda offers these vehicles for refreshingly modest prices, the manufacturer spared no expense in equipping both with high-quality interiors. Despite its designation as a compact car, the 2017 Civic offers a surprising amount of overhead airspace, legroom, and elbowroom for up to five people. All your passengers will also enjoy cushioned yet posture-supporting seating in both rows. The Accord exceeds Civic’s accommodations with even more passenger room, and the Accord also has a larger trunk than its compact counterpart, with 15.8 cubic feet of storage space. However, the Civic is also available in a hatchback variation, and this build has a maximum cargo capacity of 46.2 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded.
Safety
Honda is known for their unwavering commitment to safety, and these two cars are shining examples of the vigilant thought put into the maker’s design. Both the Civic and the Accord tout impressive safety ratings, and they performed reassuringly well in all their crash and safety tests. Honda has also equipped both cars with a rearview camera, and they’ve gone the extra mile with the Civic to load it with the Honda Sensing suite as standard issue. This high-tech package features driver assistance systems to help you watch out for road hazards and keep everyone onboard safe. The suite includes forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and collision mitigation braking. The Accord is available with its own safety tools like automatic emergency braking.
