The interior of the 2020 Civic looks conservative and is full of premium material and high-grade plastic components. The center console is wide with numerous pockets and bins for small articles. All but LX trims come with a 7.0-inch touchscreen while the base trim comes fitted with a 5.0-inch infotainment system. Ergonomics are well suited for an average size individual and it has a more substantial amount of interior space than most of the rivals. The legroom is also generous for a compact size sedan but the sills are wide which hinders entry and exit.
Interior space is nearly the same in all the cars in this rivalry, although the Corolla and the Mazda 3 feels cramped at times. As always, there are up to 3 interior upholstery color options available for buyers to choose from. Despite being an entry-level compact, the 2020 Civic provides ample cargo space. Its low liftover height makes it easy to load and unload large items. The utilitarian sedan provides 15.1 cubic feet of trunk space and it can be increased to 46.2 with the rear folding seat for loading large cargo.

Easily the rival of the Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Corolla, the Civic’s interior is a great place to be in. In the Civic sedan, the rear legroom measures 37.4 inches. The Civic offers the most spacious cabin and trunk space in this comparison. The Elantra too is pretty spacious as compared to others while both the Mazda 3 and Corolla offer similar space and have a tight rear seat. The infotainment system on offer with the Civic 2020 is one of the best in the segment.
The Honda's touchscreen interface is much-improved thanks to the addition of a long-awaited volume knob for the audio system and hard buttons for certain functions. The base Civic also gets a four-speaker stereo, Bluetooth, and a USB port. A 7-inch touch screen is available, as are Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a navigation system, an eight, 10, or 12-speaker stereo, wireless phone charging, an additional USB port, satellite radio, HD Radio, and a moonroof.
