The Nissan Sentra vs. the Hyundai Elantra
- Size and exterior appeal. The redesigned Sentra gets a dramatic exterior makeover, including new exterior dimensions. Not only is it wider and lower than the outgoing model, it’s also wider and longer than the Hyundai Elantra. The overall effect makes the Sentra eye-catching and more distinctly styled than the Hyundai Elantra.
- Interior space. Thanks to its larger overall size, the new Nissan Sentra is also more spacious inside for you and your passengers. In fact, you can expect a lot more room to stretch out in the Nissan than the Hyundai, with two inches of extra legroom in the front than the Elantra.
- Power. The Nissan Sentra for this year gets more power, with a new powertrain under its hood. It went from 124 horsepower to 149 horsepower. Not only is this more oomph than the outgoing model, it’s also a slight power bump from what you can expect with the Hyundai Elantra. Both cars get a base 2.0-lier four-cylinder engine. But the Sentra has 149 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque, while the Elantra has 147 horsepower and just 132 pound-feet of torque.
- Safety features. Both the Sentra and the Elantra offer drivers a range of the latest safety features around. But the Nissan Sentra delivers more as standard equipment. Every new Sentra gets blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and automatic emergency braking for the front and rear. The Hyundai Elantra, on the other hand, also gets some safety features, but most of them, such as the blind spot monitoring, are only available on upper trims.
- Tech features. As with safety features, the Nissan Sentra also delivers more tech and connectivity features standard than the Hyundai Elantra. Every Sentra comes with push-button start and a 7-inch touchscreen interface. The Elantra also has these features, but they’re list as available only on upper trims, not standard for each model as they are with the Sentra.
