Japan is also known as the home of automobiles because of the many automakers and vehicles that have sprung up there. It has over 10 major automobile manufacturers, but Toyota and Honda top the list. You are pretty familiar with others like Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Subaru, Daihatsu, and Isuzu. Some of these companies also have subdivisions that represent their luxury brands. For example, Toyota's luxury brand is Lexus, Honda owns Acura, and Nissan owns Infiniti. However, this article will narrow our examination and analysis down to the two most famous Japanese automobile manufacturers: Toyota and Honda. 

A BRIEF LOOK INTO TOYOTA

Since the 1960s, the Japanese Toyota company has maintained its popularity and reputation worldwide, with the potential value of its products continuing to grow. We can all agree that we often lose count of how many Toyota vehicles we spot on the road each minute, especially in Nigeria. Given that Toyota vehicle sales continue to increase each year, Consumer Reports named it one of the best vehicles in the U.S. in 2018. It was also named one of the top 10 most valuable global brands by BrandZ for more than 5 years in a row. All these genuinely show that the Toyota brand continues to be a force to be reckoned with.

Toyota remain one of the world's largest automobile producers, the largest in Japan and the ninth-largest company by revenue worldwide, and also the first automobile company to manufacture over 10 million vehicles yearly. Although Toyota vehicles are mainly known for producing reliable cars and do not rush to adopt technological advancements, they are also technologically advanced to a fair extent. Their various brands guarantee maximum relief, ease, security and fun for drivers, and they also cater to every taste, style and budget.

Some car brands produced by the Toyota automobile company are listed below in no particular order:

A BRIEF LOOK INTO HONDA

Honda, like Toyota, is also a prominent Japanese manufacturer in the automobile market. This company has continually supplied people with a wide range of products, from motorcycles and automobiles to power generators, robotics, and other equipment. They have been the most extensive motorcycle producer globally since the 1950s, the world's largest annual producer of internal combustion engines, the second-largest automobile company in Japan as of 2001, and the world's eighth-largest as of 2015. Going further, they were the first Japanese automobile producers to become a net exporter in the U.S.A.

You will also agree that you will hardly step out without spotting an overwhelming number of Honda cars on the road. They largely dominate the automotive world, alongside Toyota. Honda has continually earned its customers' trust by maintaining its reputation and popularity, and even by introducing new innovations. It produces value-packed cars that most definitely assure you of reliability, efficiency, style, durability and sensibility, which is almost everything a driver could ask. Do you still wonder why nearly every household has a Honda?

MAJOR COMPARISONS BETWEEN TOYOTA AND HONDA CAR BRANDS

Although these two Japanese automobile bestsellers are very similar, they have several differences, which we will examine so you can decide which suits your taste better.

These two are the top Japanese automobile companies, bestsellers in Japan and worldwide. But looking at the margin between the gross income of these two companies between 2017 and 2019, Toyota went from 238.4 billion dollars to 243.6 billion dollars, while Honda went from 93.4 billion dollars to 99.7 billion dollars. This gap tells a lot. Toyota's sales performance is better than Honda's, and that can only mean one thing.

Looking at the internal aesthetics of both cars, Honda produces more stylish interiors than Toyota. The interior of a Toyota looks highly plain and uninspired, with its decor looking like home appliances, as many drivers have described it. On the other hand, Honda brands are always filled with creativity at their peak, both inside and out. Their decor is highly stylish, and their features are always appealing to the eye.  

Another significant difference is the target market and pricing of both makers. Toyota is more focused on the lower middle class, so it makes more affordable cars. In contrast, Honda creates more expensive vehicles. Their target market is the upper-middle class, which explains why Toyota parts are much cheaper to replace than Honda parts.   

Toyota is more focused on manufacturing cars that are reliable and convenient for conveying people around, no more. But Honda invests in producing highly stylish sporty cars that give very high performance. And so, while Honda is more of the event car, Toyota is more for basic activities like going shopping or dropping the kids off at school. 

Due to the highly stylish features Honda always includes in its products, they can be challenging to separate, maintain and service. But then you would always find Toyota cars easy to service because their features are straightforward and easy to understand.

While Toyota is known for sticking to uniformity in its brand design, making its cars easily recognisable, Honda's makers are pretty creative, with each vehicle unique in style and design. So, Honda offers creativity and uniqueness, in contrast to Toyota's simple, basic designs.

They are both highly reliable and durable, and can last 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. But then Toyota's maintenance comes more quickly than Honda's, as said before, and so tends to last longer. While Honda emphasises its look and high performance, Toyota emphasises durability, ruggedness, and long-lasting features.

The prices of these two brands differ slightly, with Honda vehicles slightly higher because Honda charges more for the highly stylish features it installs in its cars. However, some Toyota vehicles are more expensive than Honda vehicles; in such cases, the Toyota vehicle offers more features and functions than its Honda counterpart.

The biggest problem with Toyota cars often stems from the engine and steering, while for Honda, it comes mainly from the axles and suspension.

Regarding overall performance, Honda takes the win because this is the second function they've massively invested in. Although Toyota cars perform well enough, Honda offers higher engine horsepower and Apple CarPlay, among other features that make it a better performer and guarantee greater speed and a smoother driving experience.

Looking at the safety of these two cars, both feature highly effective safety features that ensure maximum protection for the driver. However, according to ratings, Honda has more safety features that are also technologically stylish, unlike Toyota.

Looking at their fuel efficiency, the two brands are good enough. But over the years, Honda has done quite a job on improving its brands' engine efficiency by producing more Engine Horsepower, which makes it consume less fuel. Therefore, it is safe to say that Honda is now more fuel-efficient than Toyota. This is an essential factor in a brand's popularity.

These two cars have incredible resale value, which yields a very high return when resold. This factor is significant to note when deliberating on what car to purchase. However, you should note that because Toyota cars are easier to maintain and their replacement parts are more readily available, they tend to have better resale value and sell quickly. Honda cars, however, may be challenging to maintain due to their complex features.
