Honda Civic VTI Oriel Prosmatec with Leather Package + navigation is going to cost you Rs. 2.503 Million and Corolla Altis Grande (with Navigation and Leather Package as standard) is going to cost you Rs. 2.3 Million. Hence the price difference of Rs. 200,000/-.
1. Civic will always enjoy a better resale as compared to Altis.
2. Comfort wise, Altis take the lead.
3. IMHO, they will offer roughly the same fuel consumption. give or take Only 1 kmpl difference will be there.
4. Maintenance cost will b almost the same.
5.Civic slightly better safety with 2 Airbags compared to 1 airbag in Altis.
6.By acceleration, I am sure you mean the driving thrill. If you prefer to drive in D then Civic will offer the thrill as it's conventional auto as compared to the CVT auto in Grande. However, Grande offers the 7-speed manual mode which can take the lead in this category.
7. Both are equally good in terms of quality control. However, i personally find civic to have a better quality interior and corolla to have better quality exterior.
8. None of them can offer you the features that truly define the word "luxury". The only luxurious thing which civic has is Auto Climate Control against which Grande offers the rain sensing wipers with intermittent delay control.
9. The wow/style factor part will always be retained by Civic because the shape of corolla is same for Xli and Grande.
10. Both of them look equally good but i personally find Grande to be slightly better looking.
