If you’re car shopping and comparing brands, you might wonder, “Is there a Honda dealer near me who can explain how the 2018 Honda Civic compares to the 2018 Nissan Sentra?” If you’ve asked yourself that question, head over to our Honda dealership near Fort Bend, TX.
In a recent blog post, we described how the 2018 Honda Accord matches up against one of its worthy rivals and now we’re going to tell you how the new Honda Civic compares to the 2018 Nissan Sentra. While both vehicles have plenty of room for passengers and cargo, your choice of body styles is limited with the Nissan Sentra. The 2018 Nissan Sentra is only offered as a sedan while the new Honda Civic is available as a sedan, coupe, or hatchback.
The only engine available for the Nissan Sentra is a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine that generates 124 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque when it’s paired with an automatic transmission. The 2018 Honda Civic is eligible for multiple engines. The base engine is a two-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. When configured as a hatchback, the LX model is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine that generates 174 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque.
While the top Nissan Sentra trim comes with a blind spot monitor that has a rear cross-traffic alert, just about every Honda Civic model is eligible for a full suite of advanced safety features. The features included in the Honda Sensing options package include adaptive cruise control, a lane departure warning and mitigation system, and a forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking system.
