2017 Hyundai Elantra vs. 2017 Nissan Sentra at Hall Hyundai Elizabeth City

The 2017 Hyundai Elantra is a classic case of a great car becoming even greater. This fully redesigned compact sedan has a new, progressive interior and exterior look, integrates additional leading-edge technology, and offers three brand-new engines for Hyundai shoppers in Camden, NC and South Mills, NC to enjoy.

2017 Hyundai Elantra

When you visit our Hyundai dealership at 1306 N Road Street in Elizabeth City, NC and climb inside a 2017 Hyundai Elantra, you'll notice an abundance of soft-touch surfaces and high-end materials that well-complement this sedan's practical, user-friendly cabin layout. Also prevalent are numerous tech components, some of which are standard and others optional. For example, the entry-level 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE comes with a six-speaker sound system and satellite radio, while the available Limited Tech package includes an 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, voice commands, and an eight-speaker Infinity sound system.

Our Elizabeth City Hyundai dealer serving Woodville is also the place to demo the 2017 Hyundai Elantra model's new powertrains: a 2.0L 4C engine that outputs 147 hp and 132 lb.-ft. of torque, a 1.6L turbocharged 4C engine rated at 201 hp and 195 lb.-ft. of torque, and a 1.4L turbocharged 4C engine capable of 128 hp and 156 lb.-ft. of torque. 

2017 Nissan Sentra

By all accounts, the Nissan Sentra is a well-designed compact sedan, and the 2017 Nissan Sentra is no exception. However, when it comes to measuring up to the 2017 Hyundai Elantra and other new Hyundai vehicles near Nags Head, the 2017 Nissan Sentra comes up a bit short. One example is in these two vehicles' comparative safety ratings. The 2017 Nissan Sentra commendably earned a Top Safety Pick citation from the IIHS, but the 2017 Hyundai Elantra went one better, gaining the IIHS' highest honor of Top Safety Pick+.

One of the biggest differences between these two models is that the 2017 Hyundai Elantra is fully redesigned, while the 2017 Nissan Sentra is not. In fact, it sees only a few revisions this year. Also, the 2017 Nissan Sentra offers five trim choices to the 2017 Hyundai Elantra model's four, but only two engines - one less than the Hyundai sedan.

In Conclusion

The 2017 Nissan Sentra is a nice car, but it struggles to match the 2017 Hyundai Elantra in terms of design, technology, safety scores, and engine variety.
