| Torque | 138 lb-ft | 132 lb-ft |
As you can see, the standard engine in the Civic offers a little extra power, which is helpful when you need to accelerate quickly. If you need even more oomph, both sedans are also available with an optional turbocharged engine. The turbocharged Honda Civic, however, more seamlessly blends power and efficiency.
The Civic EX boasts an EPA-estimated 33 city/42 highway MPG.1 Compare that to the similar Forte GT, which is only capable of an EPA-estimated 27 city/35 highway MPG.
Both cars come with various systems that help you enjoy more peace of mind as you drive. They feature a bevy of driver-assistance technologies you can count on to help keep you safe along your journey.
These include systems that can automatically apply the brakes to mitigate the chances of a collision and features that will make subtle steering adjustments to help make sure you stay within your lane. There are additional features that come standard in the 2022 Honda Civic, including:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
- Traffic Jam Assist
- Traffic Sign Recognition System
The Forte is available with some of these features, but none of them come standard as they do with the 2022 Civic.
It’s also important to look at what these two cars offer in terms of cabin features. That’s where you’ll be spending a lot of time getting to and from work, to the store, and out to your favorite restaurants.
Luckily, with either model, you’ll have plenty of entertainment options, whether you want to stream a podcast or playlist right from your phone, tune into the game, or stay updated on the latest news with available SiriusXM®.
