Pricing

As far as costs go, the Midnight Edition Altima clocks in at an MSRP of $32,698, while the Midnight Edition Sentra comes with an MSRP of $25,498. While you do pay a bit more for the Altima, you also get a decently bigger sedan with some more legroom and creature comforts inside for your passengers to enjoy.

If size and space are a big part of your buying decision, the Altima wins this round.

Performance

Under the hood of the 2022 Nissan Altima, you will find the standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 188-horsepower. And if you want a little more power at your feet, the available 2.0-liter Variable Compression Turbo engine will net you 248-horsepower. In addition, the Altima and the Sentra come with Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters for that racing-inspired driving experience.

For the 2022 Nissan Sentra, this sedan comes with a standard 2.0-liter I-4 powerhouse engine that holds 149 horses under the hood.
