Choosing between the Nissan Sentra and Nissan Altima? Both sedans offer reliability, style, and comfort, but they serve slightly different drivers. Whether you’re commuting, road-tripping, or running everyday errands, this comparison will help you decide which model fits your lifestyle best. When you’re ready to see these cars in person, visit Gastonia Nissan to test-drive them and see their differences up close.
When it comes to size, the Altima is a midsize sedan while the Sentra fits into the compact segment. That means more interior room in the Altima and easier maneuverability in the Sentra.
Both sedans offer generous trunk space for their class, but the Altima edges out with a bit more room for luggage and gear.
The interior of the Nissan Altima offers a more premium experience compared to the Nissan Sentra interior, which helps justify its higher price point. While both models feature modern styling and user-friendly tech, the Altima steps it up with a standard 8-inch touchscreen display and a standard six-speaker audio system. However, both models can be equipped with optional amenities like a power moonroof and a premium Bose® audio system. This means that, no matter which Nissan sedan you choose, you can enjoy touches of luxury as you drive.
Drivetrain differences are key when comparing these two sedans.
With the optional Nissan Altima AWD, drivers can gain extra confidence in rain or light snow. With the variability of North Carolina weather in mind, you might opt for an AWD vehicle for extra peace of mind when driving in inclement conditions.
Fuel economy is a strong point for both models. The Sentra leans more toward efficiency, while the Altima balances performance and mileage.
For city-focused driving, the Sentra offers slightly better fuel efficiency, but the Altima remains a strong contender with excellent highway numbers.
Whether you prefer the sporty agility of the Sentra or the roomier, more powerful Altima, both models deliver exceptional value. Let our team at Gastonia Nissan help you drive off in the Sentra or Altima that fits your lifestyle best.
