Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia K4 than the Nissan Sentra. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Kia K4, drivers may find the Nissan Sentra a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Kia K4 as you will with the Nissan Sentra, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Kia K4 is somewhat more expensive than the Nissan Sentra.

Dimensions
The Kia K4 is a little wider than the Nissan Sentra, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Kia K4 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Nissan Sentra.

Handling
The Kia K4 has about the same turning radius as the Nissan Sentra, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's basically a tie between the Kia K4 and the Nissan Sentra.

Powertrain
With its lower torque, the Kia K4 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Nissan Sentra.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Kia K4 and the Nissan Sentra.
