Nissan Sentra - Review, Specs, Pricing, Videos and More

The Nissan Sentra offers a balance of standard safety features, fuel efficiency, and updated design, starting at an MSRP of $21,590. All models are powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four engine delivering 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque, paired with an Xtronic CVT. Idle Stop Start is included to help conserve fuel during stops. Connectivity is standard, with all trims featuring Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. A 7-inch touchscreen comes standard on the S trim, while SV and SR models receive an 8-inch display.

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard across all grades, offering Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, and other driver-assistance technologies. The SV and SR trims build on this with features like Intelligent Cruise Control, a power moonroof, and an available 8-speaker Bose audio system.

What’s New for 2025

New for 2025 is a Midnight Edition package available on the SR and SR Premium trims. This package adds black exterior styling elements, including a black V-motion grille, rear spoiler, side sills, and 18-inch gloss black wheels. The Sentra also gains Nissan Maintenance Care, covering up to three oil changes over two years or 24,000 miles.

So you’ve been called back to the office.

It’s not a full five-days-a-week expectation anymore, which is good, since you moved further out of town. You need a sensible set of wheels, whether it’s to brave downtown, or even just shoot over to the nearby train station.

There are few cars more sensible than the Toyota Corolla. The perennial best-seller saw a useful round of updates for this year. The bulk of the changes focused on the empowered hybrid and it gaining AWD—to say nothing of the riotous GR Corolla. But the humble LE saw a big improvement too, gaining the more powerful and more efficient 2.0-liter engine found elsewhere in the lineup. It also saw a huge infotainment improvement, which should make those early morning commutes easier.

It’s tough to compete in the compact segment. The balance between quality and affordability must be struck with absolute precision to create something that will draw in the widest audience.

That’s exactly what Honda has been doing with the Civic for years now, and the reason why anyone else challenging that status quo has their work cut out for them.

The Nissan Sentra has the good looks inside and out to get the attention of would-be buyers. It’s also priced well under Honda’s range, another good sign. How do the two really stack up in a head-to-head comparison? We put the Honda Civic vs Nissan Sentra in a comparison of features and capabilities to find out.
