2022 Nissan Sentra Pros Over the Corolla

Though these compact sedans are closely matched, the 2022 Nissan Sentra has many more strengths when it comes to cargo space, interior design, its base engine, and features. Let’s take a look!

Cargo Space

Though both vehicles offer large trunks even due to their compact dimensions, you’ll be able to carry more cargo with the Sentra. Its cargo volume measures 14.3 cubic feet compared to 13.1 in the Corolla.

Interior Design

The redesigned 2022 Sentra SV offers one of the best compact sedan interiors on the market. Its seats are upholstered with tan quilted leather that complements the black and tan accent upholstery on the dashboard and doors. Chrome accents throughout the cabin offer more visual appeal and luxuriousness.

Don’t forget that the Sentra comes with Nissan’s extra-comfy Zero Gravity seats, which are spacious and supportive! Plus, there is ample space for passengers whether they are in the front or the back.

Base Engine

Though the Sentra only offers one engine, the 149-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) allows the Sentra to reach 60 mph in 8.0 seconds. The Corolla, with its loud, slow, 1.8-liter I-4 engine, takes 10.4.

Plus, the 2022 Sentra offers Sport Mode to sharpen the throttle response and transmission tuning to give you a sporty pulse-raising ride.

Notable driving features included on the Sentra are:

• Intelligent engine brake
• Intelligent trace control
• Active ride control
• Hill-start assist
• Sentra-eco mode

Features

With the 2022 Nissan Sentra, you’ll get more bang for your buck, especially when it comes to features. The base trim Sentra S offers the exact driver-assist features, a 7.0-inch touchscreen, and amazing fuel economy as the 2022 Corolla at a lower price. And the higher Sentra trims with more features are less expensive too!

Notable features on the Sentra include:

• Driving aids
• Intelligent driver alertness
• Traffic sign recognition
• Customizable alerts
• Available remote access
• And much more!

We also want to note that both the 2022 Sentra and the 2022 Corolla have been awarded an NHTSA five-star overall safety rating and an IIHs Top Safety Pick award.

Bottom Line

The Sentra and the Corolla are neck and neck in terms of interior space, features, performance, fuel economy, and infotainment, but our pick would be the 2022 Sentra for its elegant interior design and superior base engine, plus how can you resist Sport Mode?!
