The 2023 Nissan Sentra is a compact sedan that is efficient, thrilling, and sporty. If you’re still on the fence about buying it, read on to see how it stacks up to the competition! Afterwards, feel free to contact McGrath Nissan with any lingering questions you may have.

Performance

The capabilities of the Nissan Sentra leave nothing to be desired. It boasts a standard 2.0-liter Direct Injection Gasoline™ DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine that dispels up to 149 horsepower and 146 lb.-ft. of torque. The Hyundai ELANTRA’s standard 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, on the other hand, would only provide you with around 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. The standard Electronic Brake force Distribution that’s only present on the Sentra can help reduce tire wear and tear from prolonged use. You can also expect that this model will come standard with dual-pinion electric power steering, which its adversary lacks. Additionally, if you’re looking for smoother trips through Elgin, then you’ll want to spring for the Sentra’s standard independent strut front and multi-link rear suspension. While the ELANTRA offers the former as standard, it does not provide the latter.

Exterior

When it comes to gauging style and substance, there’s no better place to check than the exterior. The outer design of the 2023 Nissan Sentra sports 16-inch Steel wheels as standard, which will be more eye-catching on Larkin Avenue than the standard 15-inch components offered by the opposition. The standard active grille shutters on this model seamlessly blend form and function to improve aerodynamics, while the alternative on the ELANTRA does no such thing. While both models use standard halogen headlights, only the Sentra will provide you with optional Exterior Ground Lighting to add a little more visibility and flair to your vehicle.

Interior

Let’s put this comparison to rest by looking at what you can expect from the cabin of these models. The Nissan Sentra features an available dual zone automatic temperature control system, while the 2023 Hyundai ELANTRA only offers standard manual climate control. The Sentra sports an available Remote Engine Start System1, while the competition requires you to fumble for your keys whenever you want to make a trip to Foundry Park. Both models include a standard 6-way power adjustable driver's seat, but only the Sentra features an optional 2-way power lumbar feature. Additionally, if you’re looking for a way to respond to messages without taking your hands off the wheel, then you’ll only be able to get such a feature with the Sentra’s standard Hands-free Text Messaging Assistant 2. Come down to our location soon so you can experience the 2023 Nissan Sentra for yourself!
