Are the Civic and Corolla in the same car class?

[ElizabethAnn]

The Civic and Corolla are in the same car class, both being A-segment vehicles, which means they are compact cars. In terms of exterior design: The new Civic features a front grille where the original chrome strips have been replaced with black materials, giving it a more sporty visual appeal. The design of the headlights on both sides remains largely unchanged, but they have been smoked internally, perfectly blending with the front face. The front bumper has also been updated with a new design, further enhancing its sporty feel. In terms of powertrain: The new Civic initially offers only a 1.5-liter version in its early models, paired with either a 6-speed transmission or a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). It delivers a maximum output of 177 horsepower and a peak torque of 226 Newton-meters. This powertrain combination enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 8 seconds.
