Your Allentown Nissan Dealer 2020 Nissan Sentra Overview

Adventurous Style

The 2020 Nissan Sentra has been redesigned from the ground up. A black roof is available to contrast with the body color for a striking style that leaves the Honda Civic looking more than a little boring, but the interior is where the Sentra really shines. The instrument cluster has a more classic look and is easier to read, and the center console of the Sentra is less intrusive than the one in the Honda Civic. The Sentra offers dual-zone automatic climate control; heated, quilted leather seats and a heated steering wheel, making it as comfortable as it is handsome. You can find some of these amenities on the 2020 Civic, but it will cost you a pretty penny.

Technology Upgrade

Both sedans offer standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®, but the Sentra’s infotainment display has been redesigned to reflect the Altima’s modern aesthetic, once again making the Civic look outdated and uninspired. Both the Sentra and the Civic offer driver safety features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, but they are standard on the Sentra, while you have to pay extra on the Civic.

Improved Suspension and Chassis

The 2020 Nissan Sentra has an upgraded, independent rear suspension that gives it tighter handling and a redesigned chassis for a dynamic drive that easily matches the Civic. The Sentra’s new 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine produces 149 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque, which is comparable to the Civic’s performance specs. Where the Sentra really pulls out in front is in fuel efficiency, with an EPA-estimated 39 mpg on the highway and 29 in the city.** The Civic, on the other hand, falls short with a maximum of 38 mpg on the highway.***
