Toyota has finally joined the booming city SUV segment, with a high-riding Yaris available with petrol or hybrid power.
Pros Roomy cabin and cargo hold Long list of advanced safety tech Relatively fuel-efficient Can run on regular unleaded
Cons High price compared to most rivals Long-ish emergency braking distance for such a small and light car Base-model's halogen headlights could be better
Pros Hybrid stuff works well, some interesting ideas here
Cons Pre-prod car's ride not great, occasionally sluggish performance
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
