Nissan Sentra


Overall, the compact Sentra trails the class. A recent freshening
resulted in a quieter car, thanks in part to the less intrusive CVT.
Handling is fairly responsive and secure, but the ride is stiff and the
driving experience is ho-hum and joyless. The tall stance makes
getting into and out of the cabin easy, the elevated driving position
helps visibility, and the rear seat is very roomy. Acceleration times
are among the slowest in the class, the cockpit is narrow, and the
front seats lack support. Available safety features include blind spot
warning and rear cross traffic alert. Most versions get standard for-
ward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. All but
the base S model get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities
added to the infotainment system for 2019.

Nissan Rogue Sport
Measuring a foot shorter than the familiar Rogue, the Rogue
Sport is a less expensive, more compact SUV. All trims use the
same pleasant, though not overly powerful 141-hp, 2.0-liter four-
cylinder engine mated to a continuously variable transmission. In
our tests we got 26 mpg overall, which doesn’t stand out in the class.
The Sport handles responsively and rides in a refined manner, with
cabin noise kept to reasonable levels. We like the easy-to-use controls
and infotainment system. In addition, the Sport offers a 360-degree-
view camera, which is helpful for negotiating tight parking spaces.
For 2020, blind spot warning and automatic emergency braking with
pedestrian detection are standard.
