Toyota Corolla vs Nissan Sentra

Toyota Corolla vs Nissan Sentra


With breathtaking fuel economy ratings—such as its EPA-estimated 31 city/40 highway MPG—the Toyota Corolla is a revered commuter car.1 That’s without the hybrid engine! Choosing the hybrid bumps efficiency to an EPA-estimated 53 city MPG/ 52 highway MPG.2

Drivers around Plainfield, Indianapolis, Avon, and the surrounding Indiana communities have been curious how this model compares to the 2022 Nissan Sentra. So, we wrote this vehicle comparison to provide some clarity.

We’d like to clear up the differences and similarities between the Toyota Corolla and the Nissan Sentra. If you have any further questions, please reach out to us at Andy Mohr Toyota.



Trim Levels: 2022 Corolla & 2022 Sentra

Toyota Corolla vs Nissan Sentra

Creating the exact car you want means choosing a trim level that fits your tastes and needs. Finding this trim is much easier in the Corolla as Toyota offers nine variations. Nissan has only created four trims for the Sentra: the S, SV, SR, and SR Midnight Edition.

Toyota starts off with the Corolla L followed by the LE, Hybrid LE, SE, SE Nightshade Edition, and SE Apex Edition. The rest of the trims look like this:

  • XLE
  • XSE
  • XSE Apex Edition

The XSE Apex Edition is the sportiest version as it offers a lowered sport-tuned suspension and a Black/Bronze body kit.

If you want fuel economy, the Hybrid LE is the obvious play as it offers an EPA-estimated 53 city MPG/52 highway MPG.2


Engine Power and Performance

Toyota Corolla vs Nissan Sentra

The Corolla is clearly more efficient, but which sedan delivers more power? For the 2022 Toyota Corolla, you’ve got access to an available 2.0L 4-cylinder engine making 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Nissan tries to keep pace but can’t quite do so, as the sole engine makes 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque from a 2.0L arrangement.

The Corolla also offers various drive modes, including Normal, Power, and Eco—something the Sentra doesn’t offer. Finally, if you really enjoy rowing your own gears, the Corolla is the only choice as it features a 6-speed manual transmission as optional. No trims for the Sentra offer a manual transmission.
