2020 Toyota Corolla vs 2020 Nissan Sentra

While the sedan market seems to be dragging behind flourishing SUV business, the four-door is still alive and well here in Canada. Trusty and affordable sedans that have become nothing less than landmarks in the segment like the Toyota Corolla integrate everything one needs in a four-door, along with loads of value and style. Although less popular, the Nissan Sentra also competes in the segment. Let’s see how these two line up. The 2020 Toyota Corolla is offered in eight, well-equipped versions.

Outside, the base L Toyota Corolla gets more style and comes with a solid list of exterior characteristics, like standard LED Daytime Running Lights, Automatic Headlamp System and Bi-Beam LED Headlamps. Buyers who opt for the base trims of the Sentra only get halogen, and would have to go almost up to the top of the trim ladder to get LED headlamps.

A wider range of powertrains on the 2020 Toyota Corolla

Both sedans are powered by four-cylinder engines. While the Sentra only offers one engine option, which is a 149-horsepower 2.0 L unit, the Toyota Corolla offers three different powerplants: a trusty 1.8 L powerplant, a 168-horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque 2.0 L engine and a highly economical hybrid powertrain. While the Sentra only offers a manual gearbox and a CVT, the Toyota Corolla lets you choose between a manual, a 10-speed automatic and a CVT depending on the trim.

The most comparable engine between the two models is the 2.0 L unit, which is available on most trims. This one not only it makes more power and torque, it also wins on the fuel economy side, with 7,3 L/100 km combined mileage on the Sentra, more than the 6.8 L/100 km on the Corolla. Choosing the Corolla Hybrid will drop this figure down to 4.5 L/100 km.
