Are you looking for a new, reliable car? Is it time to give your travels around Danvers, Peabody, or Salem, MA, an upgrade? Purchasing a midsize sedan is a great option. While there are lots of midsize sedans you can choose from, two that are at the front of the pack are the 2022 Toyota Corolla and the 2022 Honda Accord.
The Ira Toyota of Danvers team believes drivers should have easy access to all the resources they need, which is why we’ve created this Toyota Corolla vs. Honda Accord comparison. Ready to see which of these two sedans better matches your needs? Keep reading or skip ahead to begin browsing our inventory online!
Your normal day-to-day life is full of traveling to and from work, running errands, picking up your kids, and so much more. Don’t let anything slow you down, especially having to make frequent stops at the gas pump. Instead, when looking for a new midsize sedan, you’ll need one that offers impressive fuel efficiency.
When comparing the Toyota Corolla vs. Honda Accord fuel efficiencies, you’ll be happy to know that both vehicles come standard with an EPA-estimated 30 city/38 highway MPG.* That means, no matter which model you choose, you can skip that morning stop at the pump and replace it with the drive-through at the coffee shop.
Want even better fuel efficiency? Consider upgrading to a hybrid sedan. That being said, Corolla hybrid drivers can travel longer distances than Accord hybrid drivers, thanks to the Corolla’s EPA-estimated 53 city/52 highway MPG.* The Accord hybrid model, on the other hand, has an EPA-estimated 48 city/47 highway MPG.
So, you have great fuel economy to ensure you can make it to all the scheduled stops on your commute, but what about making sure you can fit into those cozy spots in the work garage or the grocery store lot—or, more important, into your garage at home?
That’s where the chart below comes in. As you can see, the Corolla is shorter and slimmer than the Accord, making it better for fitting into all the places you need to be.

| Corolla | 182.3 inches | 70.1 inches | 106.3 inches |
| Accord | 196.1 inches | 73.3 inches | 111.4 inches |
Length and width are things you may be familiar with from your average math class, but you may not be as familiar with wheelbase. A wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear wheels, and it can impact how your car drives.
Shorter wheelbases, like the one on the Corolla, are better for agility and handling. That means, if you find yourself weaving through the scenic back roads of Massachusetts while watching the leaves change in the fall, you may be better off with the Corolla.
When it comes to your sedan, you’ll likely want a vehicle that will really stand out from the crowd. Both sedans are a work of art with their sculpted bodies, dazzling LED lights, and overall aggressive stances.
While their body styles are similar, 2022 Toyota Corolla drivers are more likely to match their vehicle to their personality thanks to a wide array of color options. The Corolla comes in 16 different color options, half of which are 2-toned. Accord drivers can only choose from eight single-toned color options.
Having a head-turning exterior paint job is great, but what about the place you’ll be spending most of your time: the interior. The Accord offers cloth and leather upholstery, but only in simple black. The Corolla offers the same material options, but with colors and combinations like:
But it isn’t just the paint and upholstery that provides some personal flair, there are the wheels as well. You’ll have five options to choose from with the Honda Accord, and seven if you go with the Toyota Corolla. You can certainly customize your Honda Accord to a degree, but you can truly craft a Toyota Corolla that represents you and your personality.
When it comes to your morning commute, do you like to blast the radio to wake yourself up? Or do you prefer putting on a podcast and letting your morning coffee do its work? Either way, both the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Accord have comprehensive infotainment suites that include the following standard features:
However, if you like to stay connected while on the go, whether that’s checking work emails or posting vacation photos to your social media, the Toyota Corolla offers Wi-Fi hotspot capability standard, while you’ll have to upgrade trim levels on the Honda Accord.
The safety of you and your passengers is the most important thing. That’s why both the Honda Accord and the Toyota Corolla come standard with a suite of comprehensive safety features. With the Corolla, you’ll have Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0. With the Accord, you’ll have Honda Sensing®.
Both suites come with monitoring features that constantly scan for and alert you to potential hazards. Similar features found on both sedans include:
You can even use two standard driver-assistance features in tandem for out-of-town business trips: Road Sign Assist and Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Standard on both sedans, Road Sign Assist uses radar to display nearby road signs where you can easily see them behind the wheel, and you can set your Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control by the nearest speed limit sign.
Thanks to these features, you can feel as confident as possible each time you get behind the wheel.
