Comparison Review

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

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 Nissan Sentra is somewhat more expensive than the Nissan Versa.
