Comparing the Popular Nissan Sentra to the Competition

Currently in its eighth outstanding generation since it first debuted in 1982, the Nissan Sentra continues to be a go-to, stellar option for sedan shoppers in the Powdersville and Anderson, SC area. It's stylish, affordable, and comfortable, and it's available now at Benson Nissan of Easley.

We specialize in bringing drivers throughout the Simpsonville area the latest Nissan models and styles, and the Sentra is one of our favorite cars to recommend for shoppers who are looking for an easy-to-drive compact car that's well equipped.

But we also know that there are other small sedan options available in greater Greenville, SC that may be competing for your attention. To make your next car-buying experience easier, we've highlighted our beloved Sentra next to the competing Honda Civic. Read on to learn more about how our model stands out in comparison.

Nissan Sentra vs. Honda Civic

Both compact sedans offer four-door style, seating for five people in two rows, and a locking trunk for secure transport of your important cargo. But while they have a lot in common on the surface, dive a little deeper, and you'll discover several key areas where the Nissan comes out ahead of the Honda.

Starting price. Looking to maximize your budget and customize your payments in the best way that works for you bottom line? The Nissan Sentra can help you get more for your money, thanks to its lower asking price. As an example, the Sentra base model starts at around $19,000. But the Honda Civic base model starts out at around $21,700.

Size.

Both cars offer compact sedan style that parks and maneuvers easily. But they differ in terms of exterior dimensions, where the Nissan Sentra measures both wider and taller than the Honda Civic, translating to more interior space for you.

Interior space and comfort.

Slip inside the Nissan Sentra to experience its superior interior space and comfort for yourself. You'll find that the Nissan sedan offers more room for you and your passengers to stretch out in, especially in the front seat, where you can look forward to two inches of extra legroom when compared to the Honda Civic.

Safety features.

While both of these cars supply drivers with a range of modern-day, advanced safety features that protect drivers and passengers, the Nissan Sentra has more of these high-tech features as standard equipment. For example, our Nissan has standard blind-spot monitoring for every trim level, alerting you if you try to switch lanes and there is a vehicle there. But this convenient safety tool isn't standard with the Honda Civic and, in fact, isn't even available until the top-tier trims.

Available technology.

Not only does the Nissan Sentra have more standard features than the Honda Civic, but it also has more optional and available amenities as well. Looking for a sedan with a sunroof or heated exterior mirrors? With the Sentra, you can get them as soon as the second trim level. But with the Civic you won't find them until higher up the lineup. Other examples of features you can get sooner with the Nissan include leather upholstery and an upgraded infotainment system with larger touchscreen.
