2022 Nissan Sentra vs. Honda Civic
We all love compact sedans because they get us where we need to go without any frills or unnecessary options, while not breaking the bank. If you are planning on buying a new car for your daily commute, you can't beat a Nissan Sentra or a Honda Civic in terms of price. But which compact car is the best?
Our team at Maus Nissan New Port Richey discusses the differences between both vehicles to help you make an informed decision. Let's go!
Performance
The 2022 Nissan Sentra comes equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 149 horsepower. The 2022 Sentra offers 28 miles per gallon in the city and 39 on the highway.
Buyers of the standard 2022 Honda Civic can choose between a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 158 horsepower, or a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 180 horsepower. The Honda Civic offers 26 miles per gallon in the city and 42 on the highway.
Both compact cars come with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and are only available in front-wheel drive. Both seat five passengers and have a fuel tank capacity of 12.4 gallons.
Exterior + Interior
The 2022 Sentra has seamless contemporary styling with sporty muscular swells over its wheels. Its stretched-out fog lamps and angled headlamps optimize the visual appeal of Nissan's V-Motion grille.
On the other hand, the 2022 Civic has a relatively unassuming grille and long swells along its hood which makes the vehicle look like it is leaning forward.
The interior style of the Sentra is functional and aesthetically pleasing with premium materials and colors available in higher trims. The dashboard is accented with stitching and the color display screen in the middle comes with easy-to-use rotary knobs. It also features round air vents with an automatic climate control system, front and rear USB ports, and more!
The 2022 Civic comes with a segmented dashboard with air vents stacked on top of the display screen. A climate management system, a push button ignition, and a sound system are also notable features.
The 2022 Sentra has a cargo volume of 14.3 cubic feet and a passenger volume of 96 cubic feet. The Civic offers slightly more cargo volume at 14.8 cubic feet and a passenger volume of 99 cubic feet.
Technology features are an even match, though the Sentra offers a heated steering wheel and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Further, the 2022 Nissan Sentra comes with air conditioning, a CD player, power windows, and power door locks, even on the entry-level trim. These are all optional and upgradeable features on the 2022 Honda Civic.
Safety + Technology
Despite their many similarities, the 2022 Nissan Sentra and the 2022 Honda Civic differ in many ways when we focus on cabin amenities. Right away, the Sentra impresses with an 8-inch touchscreen compared to the Civic's smaller 7-inch standard touchscreen.
The Sentra also comes standard with Apple CarPlay, AndroidAutio, and hands-free text messaging capabilities, all of which are upgrades in the Civic.
Both the 2022 Sentra and the Civic come with the following safety features:
● Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection
● Intelligent forward-collision warning
● Rear automatic braking
● Lane departure warning
The 2022 Sentra also features Blind-Spot Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert as standard features. These systems are only available on higher trims of the 2022 Honda Civic.
Bottom Line
In this battle of compact cars, the Sentra dominates in many ways. Though the Civic has slightly better gas mileage, you can't beat the exterior styling, standard safety and technology features, or the affordable price of the 2022 Nissan Sentra!
