Face-Off: Nissan Sentra vs. Toyota Corolla

Now these two cars match up much better with each other, but there are some significant differences. Which is more fuel efficient? Which one has a better ride? Which one has a nicer cabin?

To answer those questions, we take an in-depth look at these two sedans to compare how they fare in CR’s testing and surveys. We also note which advanced safety equipment—such as forward collision warning (FCW), automatic emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning (BSW), rear cross traffic warning (RCTW), and lane departure warning (LDW)—comes as standard or optional equipment. Then, we let you know which car we think is tops.
