The Sentra is a Better Choice Than the Hyundai Elantra

Everything about the 2015 Nissan Sentra makes it stand out from the rest of the vehicles on the road. From the starting MSRP, down to performance and interior features, the Nissan Sentra hands down, has the upper hand.

Compared to the Hyundai Elantra, the 2015 Nissan Sentra is the obvious choice. The Sentra starts at just $16,480, while the Elantra starts at $17,250. This initial cost is definitely an important factor to consider when purchasing a car, along with the following categories:

Fuel Economy

The Sentra boasts a combined fuel economy of 33 miles per gallon. The Elantra falls short of that with a combined total fuel economy of 32 mpg. While the one point difference may seem miniscule, it makes a big difference between fill ups.

Drivetrain Technology

The Nissan Sentra features an Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission, unlike anything else available in the automotive world. The Hyundai Elantra does not even offer a traditional continuously variable transmission, which helps to explain why it’s fuel economy isn’t up to par with the Sentra.

Total Interior Volume

The 2015 Sentra beats out the Elantra once again, when it comes to overall interior space. With 111 cubic feet of interior space, the Sentra has enough room for all five passengers, and all of their stuff. The Elantra falls short and offers only 110.4 cubic feet of interior space.

Audio System - For short commutes to work, or long road trips, the sound system in a car provides the entertainment for the duration. With available Bose Audio System with eight speakers, the Sentra offers this enhanced entertainment option that the Elantra does not.
