Civic vs. Sentra: Horsepower and Torque

Able to provide acceleration and cruising power above and beyond conventional standards, the Honda Civic offers drivers a choice of two exceptional engines:

• Standard 2.0L Four-Cylinder: Delivers up to 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque.
• Available 1.5L Turbocharged Four-Cylinder: Delivers up to 174 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque.

The Nissan Sentra doesn’t let you choose between engines. Instead, the same uninspiring 2.0L 4-cylinder is fitted across all configurations for just 149 hp.

Civic vs. Sentra: Features

Standout standard features of the Honda Civic include a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera and Speed Sensitive Volume Compensation. Both are unavailable with any configuration of the Nissan Sentra, as are the following optional Civic features:

• 10-Speaker Premium Sound System
• Driver’s Seat with 8-Way Power Adjustment
• Heated Front and Outboard Rear Seats

Focus on anything from year-round comfort in both rows to immersive audio and the Honda Civic will outperform the Nissan Sentra.

Civic vs. Sentra: Safety

Honda hates falling behind when it comes to safety technology, which is why you’ll find the latest Civic fitted with sophisticated driver assistance systems. Highlights include:

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Honda LaneWatch™

You’ll be forced to pay extra for Adaptive Cruise Control with the Nissan Sentra, while the Honda Civic equips it as standard. The LaneWatch feature is a Honda exclusive, so don’t expect to take advantage of comparable technology with any Nissan Sentra trim level.
