2021 Nissan Sentra Vs. it's Competition

When they’re shopping for a new vehicle, motorists often ask how one Nissan model compares to its competitors. People who are interested in a compact sedan are normally curious about whether the Nissan Sentra can hold its ground in a head-to-head comparison with the Mazda3. We can assure you that the 2021 Nissan Sentra not only stays the course, but it also exceeds the 2021 Mazda3 in some key areas.

Passenger and Cargo SpaceWhile the new Nissan Sentra is considered a compact car, the vehicle still has ample room for passengers and cargo. Like the 2021 Mazda3, the Nissan Sentra has seating for five passengers across two rows. Although that’s the case, it’s worth noting the second row in the Nissan Sentra is roomier than its rival’s.

Like its second row is roomier, so is the Nissan sedan’s trunk. As you’ll see when you visit Bedford Nissan, the trunk in the Nissan Sentra measures 14.3 cubic feet while the trunk in the new Mazda3 Sedan has a comparatively scant 13.2 cubic feet of cargo space.

Active Safety Equipment

As you look through the latest Nissan cars on our lot, you’ll notice that they’re all equipped with some laudable safety equipment. We’re proud to tell you that competing models like the Mazda3 are typically outfitted with similar equipment. While the Mazda3 and the Nissan Sentra have some advanced safety and driver-assistive features in common, the Nissan sedan’s base trim has some features that aren’t standard on the Mazda car’s starter model.

Here are some of the safety features the cars have in common:

• Forward-collision warning and intervention system
• Drowsy driver monitor
• Lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
• Rearview camera

Where the Mazda comes up short is not having a blind-spot monitor or rear emergency braking, which are standard on the Nissan Sentra beginning with its base trim. This is an important point because the Nissan sedan’s blind-spot monitor comes with a rear cross-traffic alert, meaning the unit is basically two additional active safety features rolled into one, while rear automatic emergency braking is vital to the safety of roadway travelers in certain circumstances.
