Performance
Both the Sentra and Elantra use the Inline 4 engines, combined with a continuously variable-speed automatic transmission (CVT) to deliver impressive performance and handling. They also provide equal fuel capacity and have a front-wheel drivetrain as part of their standard configuration. The Sentra has marginally better horsepower and torque, while the Elantra has a slight edge in fuel efficiency and range.
Interior and Cargo
The cargo area of the Sentra is slightly larger compared to the Elantra, as well as comparable areas for head and leg room in the front and rear of each vehicle. They also have equivalent seating capacities, having enough room for up to five passengers.
Technology and Driver Assistance
While both models have standard cruise control, the Elantra only has adaptive cruise control available on certain trim levels, while it’s a standard feature within the Sentra. The Sentra also has parking assistance features which are unavailable within the Elantra. For more comfort and convenience, the Sentra also has:
- Navigation system
- Keyless ignition
- Optional heated seats
Each of these features are available in the Sentra, as well, but only on higher-level trim levels.
Which Sedan is Right For Me?
These two models provide many of the same benefits, with slight differences in quality and effectiveness. Most notably, while the Elantra may have a marginally better fuel economy and space in some respects, the Sentra provides more tech features as standard equipment alongside superior performance.
