The 2020 Honda Civic took the crown against the Nissan Sentra and Toyota Corolla in the Cars.com 2020 Compact Sedan Challenge. Civic outperformed its newer competitors based on a number of categories, including drivability and storage capability.
"The 2020 Honda Civic won Cars.com's 2020 Compact Sedan Challenge, thanks to solid showings in many of the judging categories plus a few knockout blows to its competitors, specifically in the handling and in-cabin storage categories," said Jenni Newman, editor-in-chief of Cars.com.
The 10th-generation Honda Civic has maintained its leadership as America's retail best-selling passenger car for four consecutive years1, and the Civic line has been America's retail No. 1 compact car for a decade2. Today, Civic leads all vehicles, cars and light trucks, in sales to Millennials, Gen-Z, first-time and multicultural buyers3.
