If you’re in the market for a compact car that’s reliable, efficient, and value-forward, your search might well lead you to a comparison between the Nissan Sentra and the Honda Civic. Arguably two of the top contenders in this class, these two models both manage to deliver in all the categories that matter most to compact car shoppers. Only a closer look at each will reveal which one is the right pick for your unique needs, priorities, and budget. Take a closer look at the Nissan Sentra and the Honda Civic below and get a better idea of which one deserves a place in your own driveway.
Value
Value is more than just the price on a window sticker – but even if it were, the Sentra would come out a winner. You’ll shell out less money from day one when you choose the Sentra, and that’s compelling enough for many shoppers who are seeking a budget-friendly buy. But that’s just the start of the Sentra’s superior value. Lest you think a low sticker price means a barebones vehicle, you should know that the Sentra is packed with desirable technology features and amenities that you would expect to find in a much higher-priced car.
While the Honda Civic is also well-equipped with great offerings, you’ll pay more off the bat. This comparison begs the question: Why pay more for what you can get for less?
Trims and Options
The 2019 Sentra comes in six trim levels: S, SV, SR, SR Turbo, Nismo, and SL. This allows shoppers plenty of room to get exactly what they want out of their Sentra, selecting from the beyond-basic base model, a mid-range trim with leather and upgraded audio options, or a performance-focused variation with a style stamp all its own. You’ll also find an array of available packages that you can equip on your Sentra, including the All-Weather Package, the Special Edition Package, and more. These packages unlock additional features and capabilities including advanced safety equipment and driver assistance amenities.
The Honda Civic does a good job of providing options, too, but it’s a trim level shy of the Sentra lineup, and you might find the base model relatively sparse. To get the features that you want out of the Civic, you might find yourself shelling out more money to get a higher trim level, widening the gap between the Sentra’s price and the Civic’s even further.
