PERFORMANCE
Nissan Sentra

The Nissan Sentra and the Honda Civic showcase impressive performance that combines power, smooth handling, and above-the-bar fuel efficiency. That being said, one model will provide a bit more.

Poised Performance

The performance of these sedans is fairly on par with one another. However, there are several key areas in which the Sentra outshines the Civic. To start, its 2.0L 4-cylinder engine churns out 146 lb-ft of torque, while the Civic engine of the same makeup produces just 138 lb-ft of torque.

Why is having more torque important? Torque plays a major role in how your vehicle accelerates. So, if you want the sedan that will be quicker off the line, choose the Nissan Sentra.

Fuel Efficiency

Of course, you’ll also want to drive a vehicle that will enable you to remain on the road longer between pit stops. Fortunately, you can look forward to top-of-the-line efficiency from both vehicles. For example, the Sentra offers an EPA-estimated 29 city/39 highway MPG on its base trim.* The Civic produces an equally impressive fuel economy.

INTERIOR
Nissan Sentra

As much as performance is important to you, it may not be the first thing you notice in a vehicle. For plenty of drivers, the comfort and the amenities of the interior mean just as much as what’s under the hood.

A Classic Cabin

In that department, the Nissan Sentra and the Honda Civic are remarkably similar. Both models offer standard sedan dimensions, with over 90 cubic feet of passenger volume and just over 14 cubic feet of trunk space to store everything from grocery bags to golf clubs.

When you take your seat, each sedan has you covered. Both models offer available power-adjustable seating that's outfitted with available heat settings as well. You’ll also enjoy available leather appointments in both sedans.

Interior Tech

In terms of interior technology, their similarities continue. The Sentra and the Civic each offer:

  • 7-inch touch-screen displays
  • Bluetooth® technology
  • Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
  • Hands-free Text Messaging
  • Available SiriusXM® Satellite Radio

Both sedans also offer available built-in Wi-Fi® hotspots to help keep you connected along the way.

SAFETY
Nissan Sentra

Last but not least, the Nissan Sentra and the Honda Civic provide comprehensive safety systems through their respective suites of driver-assistance technologies. While they include many similar features, one model goes a step further to offer an extra layer of protection.

A Complete Safety Suite

The Honda Sensing® suite is certainly impressive. However, it doesn’t quite compare to what the Nissan Safety Shield® 360 suite offers in the Sentra.

This comprehensive suite includes these systems:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
  • Rear Automatic Braking
  • Blind Spot Warning
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Lane Departure Warning
  • High Beam Assist

Although the Civic’s suite has several similar safety features, Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert don’t come standard and are only available if you upgrade to a higher trim level.

Keeping an Eye on Every Side

Still, that only scratches the surface of what the Nissan Sentra safety suite offers. It also features an available Intelligent Around View Monitor, providing a 360° bird’s-eye view of your Sentra and its surroundings. Unfortunately, the Civic offers just a standard rearview camera.
