A Convenient Sedan with more to Offer California Drivers: What Does the Nissan Sentra Hold over its Top Competition?

After all, this is the car you need for your daily commute through Los Angeles or even taking to Venice Beach on the weekends for some beach fun!

Nissan, we know all about what this midsize sedan can do for you, but we know that you still might be in the research process. That is why we came up with some cold, hard facts about the advantages the new Nissan Sentra has over its top competitors, so you can have the right information at your disposal and make a more confident decision.

Nissan Sentra vs Kia Rio

Transmission: If you really like to drive like a professional, then you might appreciate the drivetrain of the Nissan Sentra which offers the choice of six-speed manual transmission and continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The Kia Rio only offers six-speed automatic transmission.
Security: The Nissan Sentra offers a standard panic alarm on its key fob, should you need the additional security when parked in West Hollywood. This feature is unavailable on the Kia Rio.
Interior Space: When it comes to size, the Sentra is the larger of these two midsize sedans and provides a passenger volume of 96 cubic feet, providing ample leg room for you and all of your passengers. The passenger volume of the Kia Rio falls short of many other sedans at 90 cubic feet.

Trunk Space: There is also a distinct difference in trunk capacity, between these two sedans, as the Sentra can hold up to 15.1 cubic feet while the Rio holds 13.7 cubic feet of trunk space.
Warranty: Both of these sedans feature corrosion perforation protection, which comes in handy during the winter months in Culver City. However, the corrosion perforation warranty from Nissan has no restrictions on mileage and protects your Sentra for 60 months, while this same warranty from Kia protects the Rio for 60 months or 100,000 miles.

Nissan Sentra vs Honda Civic

Price: As of now, the Nissan Sentra is the more affordable choice and starts out at a price almost $4,000 less than that of the base trim level of the new Honda Civic.

Fuel Efficiency: While many Honda models are known for their fuel efficiency, the Honda Civic falls short when it comes to fuel tank capacity as well as its curb weight, which is almost 100 pounds heavier than that of the Nissan Sentra. The higher the curb weight, the more fuel the sedan may consume over the long-term.

Interior Space: Both of these midsize sedans are quite comparable in their respective passenger volumes, but the Nissan Sentra ultimately provides more leg room for you, your copilot, and your backseat passengers. The Sentra also proves much more rear hip room than the Honda Civic, which your passengers might enjoy on the drive to Playa Vista, LA.

Technology: The Nissan Sentra features not one but two LCD monitors for its infotainment system as well as an engine temperature gauge and variable intermittent windshield wipers. The Honda Civic features fixed interval windshield wipers and one LCD monitor with the engine temperature gauge unavailable on this midsize sedan.

Convenience: If you like a little extra storage for your sunglasses when driving to the beach, the Nissan Sentra has overhead console storage just for you, which is unavailable on the Honda Civic.
