How the specs compare

This comparison sets the 2026 Honda Civic Type R against the 2026 Toyota Corolla 2.0 Hybrid AWD. They sit in different categories — hatchback and sedan — which makes the packaging figures as important as the headline performance. One uses a petrol powertrain and the other a hybrid system, so range and consumption figures need to be read in that context.
