The 2019 Nissan Sentra is a compact sedan that handles the basics and little more.
Pros Active safety tech on most Decent fuel economy Apple and Android capability Spacious rear seat
Cons Turbos aren’t much fun Vague 6-speed manual Droning CVT Leisurely acceleration in most models Top-end trims are costly
The 2019 Nissan Sentra doesn't attract much attention. It's not as popular in terms of sales as other top small sedans, and it's fair to say that its styling isn't as memorable. But depending on your needs, it could still be worth a look.
Pros Spacious back seat and trunk for the class Priced lower than many rivals User-friendly control layout
Cons Slow acceleration on most models Lacks the latest in infotainment design and safety features The seats aren't particularly suitable for taller drivers Less engaging driving experience than many competitors
The 2018 Hyundai Sonata receives a much-needed injection of style.
Pros More stylish than before Relaxing, comfortable ride quality Flexible engines Android or Apple, your interface is OK Roomy interior
Cons Light on personality Sport isn’t all that sporty Limited customization options Interior a little downmarket
one might consider Hyundai’s refreshed 2018 Sonata the brand’s rerelease of its seventh-generation mid-size sedan that was launched for the 2015 model year. That Sonata was a nice enough family four-door that failed to catch on with the buying public in the same way that its slinkier predecessor did; Hyundai is hoping this updated version will climb higher up the sales charts.
Pros Quiet cabin, easy-to-use infotainment system, standard blind-spot monitor.
Cons Dynamically dull, 1.6T engine limited to Eco trim, active-safety features not available on all models.
The 2018 Hyundai Sonata had been restyled inside and out and receives updates to its suspension and steering aimed at improving ride quality, response and feel.
PROS Solid list of standard features and tons of available tech Spacious interior accommodations and generous trunk space Excellent user interface receives a more upscale redesign 10-year powertrain warranty offers peace of mind
CONS No options available on Edmunds' recommended Eco model Slightly less rear legroom than the segment leaders Top turbocharged engine trails performance of its competitors Lackluster power from base engine
