2024 Nissan Altima vs. Nissan Sentra Sedans
You'll learn to love your Long Island commute seated in a new Nissan sedan. But which commuter-friendly new car from the Nissan lineup is the better fit for your journeys that start in Westbury or Glen Cove? At Baron Nissan, we're here to break down our selection of new sedans, headlined by the 2024 Nissan Altima and the 2024 Nissan Sentra. Before shopping for a new car at our Nissan dealership in Greenvale, you can gain insight to discover whether the Nissan Sentra or the Nissan Altima better aligns with your lifestyle.
Nissan Altima: An AWD Mid-Size Sedan & a Best-Seller
It comes as no surprise that the Altima is Nissan's best-selling sedan. Among mid-size sedans, the new Nissan Altima stands out for its AWD capability, high fuel economy ratings, thrilling performance from a VC-Turbo engine, and contemporary technology. The new Nissan Altima is the sedan Westbury commuters want!
Design
With 44 inches of front-row legroom, the Nissan Altima gives Greenvale commuters more legroom than most new sedans. The 15.4 cubic-foot trunk for the new Nissan Altima is a generous amount of cargo space for Glen Cove drivers to utilize, and they can even fold the rear seats to gain access to 58.1 cubic feet of cargo space.
Chrome tone accents headline the Nissan Altima's cabin, which maximizes relaxation on your commute back to Westbury with Zero Gravity heated front seats, leather-appointed upholstery, and Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control. Inside and out, the Nissan Altima has style that elevates.
Performance
Power meets efficiency with the new Nissan Altima, which earns up to 39 miles per gallon on Long Island freeways between Westbury and Great Neck. City fuel economy ratings are 27 miles per gallon. New Nissan Altima sedans give Greenvale drivers the power they seek through a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo (Variable Compression) engine that delivers 248 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
The Nissan Altima's standard 2.5-liter inline-4 engine is more refined, outputting 188 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive helps the Nissan Altima monitor Long Island road conditions around Glen Cove to give you necessary traction at a moment's notice.
Technology
Whether your NYC commute starts in Westbury or Glen Cove, the new Nissan Altima makes sure you're always connected. Voice recognition is helpful, and wireless Apple CarPlay® offers an easy way to access smartphone features. Android Auto™ integration is also featured for the Nissan Altima, which gives Greenvale commuters multi-touch control through the NissanConnect® 8-inch color display. There's the option to upgrade to a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen. Nissan Door to Door Navigation within the Altima provides 3D graphics of buildings, along with turn-by-turn directions from Greenvale to your Long Island destination.
Safety
Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist, Rear Automatic Braking, and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection. An Intelligent Around View® Monitor is available if Westbury motorists want a virtual composite 360-degree view to park their Nissan Altima with ease. ProPILOT Assist is perfect for rush hour along the Long Island Expressway, and Intelligent Forward Collision Warning will watch two cars ahead of your Nissan Altima on the way back to Great Neck or Greenvale.
Nissan Sentra: A Smaller Compact Sedan with Style & Efficiency
For a smaller and more fuel-efficient sedan, commuters from Glen Cove can go with the new Nissan Sentra. Bold styling, agile performance, and a lower starting price make the compact Nissan Sentra an appealing sedan.
Design
At 14.3 cubic feet, the Nissan Sentra has a spacious trunk for the compact sedan class. Zero Gravity front and rear seats are within the cabin of the new Nissan Sentra, which gives Greenvale commuters a generous amount of front-row legroom at 44 inches. For a small sedan, the Nissan Sentra has bold styling and offers LED headlights, along with LED signature Daytime Running Lights.
Performance
Rated for 30/40 (city/highway) miles per gallon, the new Nissan Sentra is a more fuel-efficient option for Great Neck commuters. The new Nissan Sentra is less powerful, as the compact sedan has a 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine rated for 149 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque. Still, you get responsive handling as you ride around Westbury, thanks to an advanced steering system and a sport sedan multi-link rear suspension.
Technology
Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration is included for the new Nissan Sentra, which has smaller touchscreens measuring seven and eight inches. An 8-speaker Bose premium audio system is offered.
Safety
Just like the Altima, the Sentra includes the same standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360 features, while also offering an Intelligent Around View® Monitor and Intelligent Forward Collision Warning. The new Nissan Sentra sets itself apart by giving Glen Cove drivers access to Intelligent Cruise Control as they commute down the Long Island Expressway to work.
