2023 Nissan Sentra vs 2023 Nissan Altima
Serving Hopkinsville, KY
At White's Auto Mall Nissan, car shoppers often ask our sales associates about the differences between the Sentra and the Altima. The 2023 Sentra is a compact car that sits directly below the midsize Altima in the lineup. This is just one of several standout traits between these popular Nissan models you should learn about before picking out your new car.
Performance
The three Nissan Sentra trim levels are comparably equipped under the hood. They pull 149 horsepower from a four-cylinder engine. The powertrain includes front-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission. The upper two trims also have rear disc brakes. The 2023 Nissan Altima has two engines available across its five trims. The first four trims are equipped with a four-cylinder, 2.5-liter, 188-horsepower engine, and a CVT. Most of these trims are available with your choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The top Altima trim has a 182-horsepower, turbo four-cylinder engine. It is exclusively combined with front-wheel drive.
Appearance
The 2023 Sentra and the Altima have a V-Motion grille and a sporty profile. The Sentra's grille is smaller and accented with chrome. Long, arrow-like air vents and long, LED-enhanced headlights also distinguish the nose. The sides display powerful molding on the lower panels and defined rear haunches. The 2023 Altima's dark grille sinks to the bottom of the front end. The wide air vents and the angled headlights have a pointed, aggressive quality for a sporty look. The hood's long arch stands out with tall accent lines on the sides. The Altima's roof is boldly raked, and the sleek sides offer a touch of definition above the rear wheel well and across the lower door panels.
Features
Across their trim levels, both the 2023 Sentra and the 2023 Altima are impressively appointed. Some of the features available in both of these cars are a wireless internet hotspot, a Bose audio system, simulated leather or true leather upholstery, heated front seats, a sunroof, remote engine start, a heated steering wheel, a two-zone auto climate control system, assistive driver's technologies and more. The 2023 Altima is also offered traffic sign recognition, a navigation system, a 360-degree camera, a larger screen for the infotainment system, and several other features.
