We know how important it is for you as a driver to get behind the wheel of an efficient and fun mid-size vehicle – that's why compact sedans like the Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra have become so popular over the years. Not only are they two of the sleekest and most aerodynamic vehicles on today’s market, but their respective commitments to safety and quality have been able to wow consumers across the nation, if not the world. The Corolla and Sentra return for the 2019 model year with even more of the high-tech, innovative features that have catapulted them into the upper echelon of the auto industry. Our question is, which one is best for your needs?
To help answer this, our Alexander Toyota team has put some research together on the Corolla and Sentra models to see how well they stack up head-to-head. Join us today in finding the right model for you!

Both the 2019 Corolla and 2019 Sentra bring some of the most innovative and savvy tech features to the fold, including dual-zone temperature control, premium audio systems, and Rearview Monitors to help you keep what’s behind you in your line of sight when backing out of those tight spaces. This means that any comparison between Toyota and Nissan’s flagship compact sedans is a matter of preference, but there are still definite ways in which the Corolla holds a significant upper hand over the competition. Not only does it offer greater base horsepower and fuel economy than the 2019 Sentra, but it also offers an available Sport Mode and paddle shifters to help you get to your destination with great times along the way. This, all told, makes the Corolla a fitting (and winning) competitor to every other compact model on the American market.
