This was always a one horse race, until the redesign of the 2020 Nissan Sentra. It is now a tough decision for buyers to decide between the 2020 Nissan Altima and the 2020 Nissan Sentra. There is a lot of similarities between the two vehicles so here is my comparison to determine which one should you buy!

Which one would you buy???
I'd buy the Altima for the pro pilot assist alone
Sentra
Shaniece Nichols Altima
@@Wald4267 great choice mate
None. As long as nissan still puts fckn jatco cvt.
Just got a 2020 Sentra SR and absolutely love it. drives great and has more pickup than previous models. the redesign makes it look sooo much better.
I thanks Rob glad you are happy with your Sentra.
Dude I just bought one yesterday, can’t wait to take delivery of it tomorrow
Wym the new Sentra are slower then the old models they are making Sentras more of a grandma vibe
@@tomcascaro3236 that is not true Mr.Tom Tommy Tom Pants. you are incorrect. The new ones have more pickup and a much sportier vibe. Are you trying to tell me that the 2013-2019 models were not more "grandma" vibes than the current models?
Look at the spec before u comment
Sentra all the way!
Drove both. Own an Altima. The difference is night and day. Altima rides heavier and nicer, is way quieter inside, and interior feels nicer. The price difference is evident.
Thanks so your comments I think it was night and day with the 2019 models but now it's a close race
but the sentra looks way better lol
The Altima is definitely the better car but for nearly a 30% difference in price the Sentra would definitely be my buy.
Just curious, but why is it that no white people ever buy an Altima? Half the people I know all drive an Altima of one model year or another, lol! As Biden would say, "If you don't drive an Altima, you aint black."
@@BoopSnoot lmao they definitely don’t buy Altima’s lmao! It’s either Sentra or Armada they don’t buy maxima or Altima lmao! Only black women buy Altima’s no cap.
@@aayonce4 Lies, I know three guys that bought Altimas. Its what guys buy that can't afford Maximas.
@@BoopSnoot well In all honest I’d take the Altima over the maxima for two things . Not ever guy has one or knows that Altima’s have special engineering for example the 2014-2015.5 Altima’s equipped with the 3.5 V6 engine was faster and more fuel efficient than its stable mate Maxima with the same engine also for added exclusivity the 3.5 V6 engine came equipped with shocks right from Mercedes Benz which allowed it to rival the ride and comfort and power and efficiency of say a Lexus ES sedan.
So it’s really a stigma that oh he couldn’t afford the maxima that is both wrong and sad because they’re actually doing themselves a disservice by not opting for the v6 Altima . Now with the V6 being discontinued I’m the Altima I can see maybe why people opt for maxima because it’s nothing like that bellow of a good V6 but to each his own I guess the VC-turbo would allow the Altima to handle better . And with optional AWD Altima trumps Maxima in my opinion. Sorry for the rant 😅😀
Sentra SR w/Premium all the way, cheaper and better looking IMO 🙌.
Great choice it's so hard to decide between the two
I have Maxima SR 2016 and I absolutely love it, 65000 thousand miles on it and still drives like brand new
Awesome the Sr package was something else. Thanks for commenting
I just got a Sentra SV last week, it’s a great first car as a person in my early 20s. No leatherette seats but the $20 seat covers I bought solve that problem.
You got the 2020.?
Mir vlogs yep
Just got mines as well upgraded from a 2013 ah to the 2020 sv
Where did you get your covers from?
Zeee they’re a couple of Black Panther brand seat covers from Amazon.
Sentra! My mom has had one since 2004 still works perfectly! We have the 2020 and it’s working great!
love it great to hear!
Sentra SV for the price.
Agreed
Thanks Ethan it definitely has a ton of value now
Best deal!!
With a name like RJ Money how can I not agree with you
@@carsunlocked Cool dude keep up the good work!
Sentra for the price. Satisfied with the looks and features as well.
Great choice as I said it's a close race
I would like the Altima engine in the Sentra
that would be one fast car
Kudos for Nissan going with a unique design instead of the fastback look that other competitors are going with.
Sentra Hands down. I think Nissan kind of shot themselves in the foot offering a nearly identical smaller car 10k cheaper and better gas mileage!
That's a good point. Only time will tell my friend thanks for your comment
SENTRA 👍
Hey thanks for your comment
Just to clarify, if you are to purchase the SV one lower trim than the SR, you can include the premium package and you CAN get leather seats, in black or a beautiful QUILTED TAN leather, which is what I purchased a few days ago and I’m in love! You also get an 8 inch touchscreen display if you purchase the premium package in the SR or SV which he didn’t mention any of this info for some odd reason... the Sentra SV with premium package is the way to go in my opinion, check it out!
I skipped both of these. Went with a Maxima SR
Hey nothing wrong with that my friend the Maxima sr is phenomenal
2009skyline That’s my dream Car how are u liking it ? 😊
Max is such a race car. Haha
Dammm ... Congratulations that's a nice car
Thank you cars unlock for comparing same company cars I have a 2019 SR Altima but damn the Sentra looks good
Miguel Ircontar I have a SV awd 2019 Altima and in person the Altima looks better wasn’t a fan of the Sentra when I saw it at the car show last week
@@dre2official925 no problem subscribe for my my friend what auto show were you at?
@@dre2official925 Sorry the sentra is so fing sexy!
I have a Santra SV premium for 2weeks now and its great. I love it!
That’s not even how you write Sentra
I just got mine man stop telling people! I do not want this vehicle all over the road like the civic lol
Honestly speaking if i were to choose i would take the Altima bigger, better features, awd. But in terms of the design the Sentra have much better design specially at the taillights nice smooth curve in comparison to the Altima’s taillights pointy. Im not a fan of the Altima’s taillights design thats my only drawback again it
Yeah I gotta say the Sentra looks way better. And 10k cheaper. No brainer.
Great choice mate they did a good job with the redesign
my mom bought a nissan kicks and i got the sentra white with beautiful black seats i love my car and my mom loves hers
phenomenal glad you like your nissans
Great comparison video! They look like the same car, other than the size, engine, slight cabin differences, and pricing haha.
Yes they r almost identical. Thanks so much for your comments
Hey Chris great job. I cant wait for summer as well to see more of your videos
Thanks I would be more than happy to show you the Sentra personally
Anyone notice how all the reviews are forgetting that at the SV trim comes in all leather... I just bought mine with the all leather “peanut butter” interior with the SV trim.
The Sentra is gorgeous Nissan is getting better with their designs big difference since Ghosn got out of their sight.
Thanks for your comments. They did a great job with the Sentra
I owned a Sentra 2015. I now own a 2018 Altima. Although the Sentra 2020 is compelling the Altima is a significantly bigger, more comfortable and quite a bit more powerful. Surprisingly my Altima MPG numbers are almost identical with the Sentra. I typically get 38 to 40 mpg with my Altima on the highway and 32 mpg city. My average according to the car computer is 35.2 mpg. With the Sentra the average was typically around 36.5 mpg according to the car's computer. Given how much bigger, heavier and more powerful the Altima is it's mpg is impressive and was not expecting that. I recently drove a 2019 latest generation top of the line Altima Platinum which is the model featured in this review and is a bit more comfortable than my last gen 2018. If I was looking to buy right now I would get a slightly used latest generation 2019 Altima Platinum which you can get for under 25K. That's a hands down better deal than top of line 2020 Sentra especially when you factor in the superb mpg rating of the Altima almost identical to the Sentra.
i love it glad to see we are in agreement
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FORR‼️‼️
Hey so glad I could help
Great comparison..
Still getting the Altima because of its sleek styling and the pro pilot assist.
Plus the Altima has powered seats.
The Sentra still looks so super sexy too .. It does have a lot of its styling cues from its bigger brothers the Maxima & Altima
U nailed it. They are definitely all in the same family now. The pro pilot is honestly a huge feature
The Altima only last until 70,000 miles before major repair! Might as well get the Sentra!
@@heartgrewtinyspines not true people who drive these cars especially cars with CVT like hill Billy's tend to ruin them ..
Besides no car with a CVT is suppose to be driven like a performance car .. You would never see someone driving a Rolls Royce or Bentley like a performance car ..
The Nissan Altima, and Sentra are to be driven like luxury cars it's why they are family sedans .. When you hear family sedan you don associate speed with it .. Just my quota ..
The Sentra is like a baby Altima, and the Versa holds its own.
I'm not a fan of Nissan but the front end of the new Altima isn't bad. The front end looked good but the body just seemed odd to me...didn't match with the front end...the sentra fixed the problem. Nice front end that goes with the body. Thumbs up on the sentra.
Great thanks so much for watching and commenting my friend
Sentras design looks better than previous yrs just like Altima and maxima,,but I can only do Altima or maxima
thanks for watching
Sentra looks like it should be the new Altima. Looks better
Yea they definitely look the same
They look the same on the outside. But the Altima has a much nicer interior. But I prefer my 2019 Maxima.
The Sentra looks better, the look is slick I can tell from experience!
Altima $35k for 182HP pass, Sentra $25k for 149HP pass. Nissan versa $15k 122HP is the winner!
Which versa ?
Altima. I own the 2020 Altima.
What did you mean by what you said in the end " Altima AWD pro pilot assist probably give you less on insurance .." ?
Those are saftey features so your insurance will most likely be lower with the Altima than Sentra
Sentra has better value for price imo
The Sentra has outsold the Altima for the 2021 year. This is because of its value for the price point. You get a lot of what you get with the Altima in the Sentra for a lower price. It’s a better value for FWD. However if you need AWD the Altima is a must. Also the Sentra is definitely slower. This is coming from a Maxima and Q60 owner, non-biased since I don’t own either.
thanks so much for commenting my friend great input!
They should create a Saltima, everything the Altima provides but in the size of the Sentra
lol that would be awesome
When you buy Mazda Volvo and Nissan always remember to buy the smallest one out there cuz they all look the same
Volvo even uses the same engine across different size of vehicles
Hmmm I think the engines are a bit different
I was in the shop for a nice sedan with fully loaded features. Went to look at a fully loaded civic touring but ended up picking up a 2019 Nissan Altima Platinum for only $30000 with demo pricing! Amazing car for the price. I'd recommend people that are in the market for sentra premium to spend a bit more and look for an altima on a big sale.
hey great choice congrats on your new vehicle
Thanks for this! I'm in the process of buying an Altima platinum!
Hey congrats subscribe as I do a lot of Altima content
Merci, intéressante présentation. I am 77. I have owned Maximas, Altimas and just bought a Sentra SV. I am impressed.
hey so happy for you congrats on your new video
🖤Nissan Twins🖤
Thanks for comments
They practically look like the same car
basically cousins
Hope to see a Sentra with a manual turbo engine
I’m sorry. I’d never pay $25k for a Sentra. I’d just get a slightly used Nissan Maxima for the same price.
we do have some maximas currently in that price range this vehicle is pretty much a smaller less powerful version
I have the 2017 model the new 2020 looks amazing the only issue i got is it sits way too low and the place i live in got big bumps i HATE scratching it 🤦🏻♂️
It does have a lower stance that's for sure
can i take 2020 Altima steering wheel and put it on my 2017 model?
I doubt it but you can ask your nissan service department
LIKE THE SENTRA
great choice
The remote start is impressive that Nissan brought it to compact car. Does Sentra also have push button to open the doors?
That said, is Nissan the only one to have those features (remote start, push button entry, push button start) on their compact cars?
I can't believe Civic still has to insert a key to start. Forte as well. But maybe they have it as optional?
Yea it does have the keyless entry a handy feature
Yepp I had the option to get the civic or a Sentra and I chose the Sentra SV because it had push to start, touchscreen infotainment system, and I just liked the overall styling better ! Also with all the safety features it seemed like the best choice.It’s 2020 why would a brand new civic need a key 🤦🏾♀️
not to bark at the new sentra, but my fam have a 2013 sentra and its 3rd transmission, thank God they fix at their cost.
that's a shame, new Sentra looking really good
thats tough
Yes Sir
*Sentra SR*
the new sentra is so nice
thanks so much for commenting
I wonder if either have an updated external transmission cooler?
I just got Altima 🙌🏽 love it
hey hey great thanks so much for watching
Great review Ty. I went with the Bulgatti.
lol great choice
I just got a 2020 sentra sv and I love it.
thats a great choice my dude thanks for watching
Thank you for the comparison. The way I see it, if you drive in the city mostly, then Sentra makes sense, for long drives Altima is the better option. Price difference is 30% which is huge
Thanks for the comments and input and yea Sentra is phenomenal city car
Altima, no question. I'm about ready to buy a 2020 Altima this coming Saturday. Can't wait! One suggestion.....talk more about the "Zero Gravity Seats"! This is the main reason I want this car. I'm almost 62 and have serious back problems. I can drive this car and have absolutely NO PAIN while driving it. My current car which is almost paid off is 8 years old (bought it used. It's a 2012), has become incredibly painful to drive. It's in great condition and I'm giving it to my kid. So.....PLEASE mention these seats. They're in the Sentra and other models too. Only Nissan has them. Look up the video on "Zero Gravity Seats". They're INCREDIBLE!!!!
thanks for the comments, you will definitely enjoy the zero gravity seats. I mention them a lot in all my altima videos so feel free to check those out. I did not go into much detail because both cars have them in this video.you will experience less fatigue and sore ness
Is the CVT still crappy?
How about Nissan Maxima. Well I would go with Maxima, a much upscale car.
Great choice my man
I will buy the Sentra
Thanks for your comments Dave definitely a lot of value in the Sentra
The Altima definitely. It's more auto than the Sentra, in all respects.
thanks for commenting my friend
Great comparison.I hope it will be imported for sale in Thailand. And got to own one, Nissan Sentra (Sylphy) . Thank you.
Thanks for viewing all the way from Thailand you the best
Nissan Thailand will produce This sentra (Sylphy) in 2021.
@@Kitsguy interesting would love to see the difference
Can you review 2020 nissan Altima 2.5s
Buy neither....Nissan uses these CVT transmission on some of it's model (don't know if it's all)which breaks down after about 70000 - 100000 miles which has to be replaced ($3000-$4000)cost. And it always breaks down after warranty or car notes paid off. I'll stay away from any car with CVT transmission
So sorry u feel that way sir. Hopefully u have success with your transmission
Which one? Neither. They have Jatco CVT transmissions that will die on you at 80-120k miles
Well thanks for watching
Altima is a luxurious car.. it's built to cross continents with comfort and power.
yes sir
Altima, I own the 2020 Nissan Altima Platinum
thats awesome thanks for watching!
For 10 thousand dollars more.. The Sentra seems a much more intelligent buy.
There is definitely value there
Sentra all day
Very similar but price have to go to Sentra 2020 !!
great choice and love the name 3
The sr sentra has led turn signals and fog lights and dual climate control. Where in the sr Altima no led turn signals or fogs and single zone climate. You have to move up to a platinum altima for dual climate and fogs but still don't get led turn signals. Definitely a few pros and cons. The altima gets a little more space and dual exhaust. Both are nice vehicles.
hey thanks for your input. you never said which one would you buy?
I actually bought the 2020 sentra sr premium but the dealership will let you trade up to 3 days. So i am going to drive the sr Altima and make my decision today. I love the sentra so i doubt i will trade.
@@olmixer very interesting they have that policy... where I am from there is no Sr
Yea i can get the SR altima for 300 dollars more.
@@olmixer sounds like a good deal simply for the pro pilot
I was going to consider getting the new Sentra. Then Hyundai released the all new 2021 Elantra at the L.A. Auto Show a few weeks ago. The new Elantra is polarizing with more tech features. Wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay. Digital key access with a key card or on your phone. 10.2 inch infotainment and digital guage screen all connected in one glass like an Audi or Mercedes Benz. The coupe design in the back with the LED connected tail lights are mesmerizing. Although design cues are from the new Sonata, it still has it own unique design to distinguish the two. The Altima and Sentra looks too much alike. I was a fan of Nissan. But their CVT engines are very crappy and unreliable. And the company is facing bankruptcy. So don't know what the future holds for Nissan. Overall, I choose the new 2021 Hyundai Elantra N-Line over the new Sentra when it's released this fall.
Wow the new Elantra does sound great. Curious the price difference. We can't compare the n line to the Sentra. Hopefully they come out with a nismo Sentra to compete
@@carsunlocked Nope, that's a different comparison as far as powertrain. But the Elantra Limited is definitely can compete with the Sentra SR. Pricing is not out yet, but with all the standard features including wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay, it's a great contender! Don't know why Sentra doesn't offer wireless phone charger or embedded navigation. That's my only gripe about it
I thought the top of the line sentra was the sv with the premium package that gives you the quilted leather seats.
Where abouts r u? Here in Canada it's the Sentra Sr
@@carsunlocked United states.
@@carsunlocked Can you get the sv sentra with quilted leather? The SV sentra with the premium package cost about $200 more than the sentra SR with the premium package
Yup. My 2020 Sentra SV Premium has the beautiful quilted leather you can usually only get on the Maxima. I love it! When I saw the quilted leather it won me over. I was considering the SR Premium. Glad I got the SV instead.
@@0akk1 Sentra has the quilted leather? Where do you live
If you really like power just go for the maxima or the altima turbo, the 2.5L can pull but real power is the V6 its just sad they left the altima V6 i really liked it 💔
great info
Thinking about buying the Altima SR😊
Stay tune as I will unlock one soon
Altima altima altima
Hey thanks for your comment glad we agree
Sentra it is... you are definitely bias... Sentra is the baby Maxima... with this new redesigned there's NO need to buy an Altima unless you filthy rich. This Sentra bad boy is fully loaded... talking Nonsense about the altima feeling more upscale inside get the premium package on the sentra and you get real leather to sit yourself and boyfriend. God bless. Nice video.
Depends on the space you need.Me.ill take that Altima
I'd take the Altima as well
Anyone else think he looks like Flynn from Breaking Bad, I mean give him some crouches
your not the first to say that
You can get a 8in infotainment system in the Sentra
The front end of both cars look the same or similar
they are cousins
if the Sentra had more horsepower, I'd have totally been for it... I dunno why they didn't put the Altima engine in it... gets the same gas mileage.
well then no one would buy the altima
@@carsunlocked 😂 the Sentra already outsells the Altima. Some people would like more space though
Good review & great Nissan.
Glad you liked it
Sentra SR with premium package if I can find one this late in the year
the 2021 should be arriving soon
Hands down Altima looks better Sentra to small ‼️
great choice my friend thanks so much for commenting
Great review. Quick question though. Aside from price and fuel mileage, which would you recommend overall in all aspects, the 2020/2021 Nissan Altima or the 2020/2021 Nissan Sentra. I ask because I heard that the previous generation Sentra had a lot of transmission/mechanical and reliability issues.
Personally I would prefer a Altima, since in my opinion and experience they were/are very reliable. I had a 09 Altima SL, for about 7-8 years, and in all those years I never had any significant issues or problems with that Altima, and only just basic and typical car repairs/maintenance repairs, such as brake pad/rotor changes, but nothing serious. With that being said, I think the new Sentra looks very nice and similar to the new Altima, at least appearance wise at a significantly lower price. However I am bit hesitant on giving the new Sentra a try and buy, due to its past generations mechanical and reliability issues as I don't want to be stuck with a lemon. Any personal insights, before I choose between the two? Thanks.
thanks for the inquiry. I am in a similar place as you as I have owned a Nissan Altima for 6 years and have not had any issues. I also really like the new design of the sentra and do feel the engine will be more reliable however cannot guarantee that as only time will tell. I have always been a fan of the Altima but I also drove the Sentra for several months and was super happy with the demo
@@carsunlocked Thanks for replying. Yeah, I mean I would normally would just go with the Altima, however the new Sentra looks as or almost as good as the current Altima, and at a signficantly lower price.
Anyhow, if I do go for the Sentra, I would probably go with the Sentra SR with the premium package. As for the Altima, I would hands down go with the Altima SL, however because of the significantly higher price and being on a slight budget, I think I will have to unfortunately pass and go with a Sentra SR with the premium package, and just look at it as a fully loaded baby Altima lol. I mean honestly I am not too much of a fan of the base model Altima S, as I guess it's because I used to own a Altima SL, and it would just feel weird and sort of downgrading without all or almost all the bells and whistles. Unless, in your opinion and expertise, the base model Altima S would be suffice and just as good as the Altima SL.
By the way, is there any differences pros or cons in all aspects, on the Altima SL Fwd and the Altima SL Awd, aside from price of course? Which would you recommend of the both or is there not really a need or difference in the Awd, since its a sedan. Thanks, and sorry for asking.
ooo here in Canada there is no Altima fwd so it is hard to compare. depending on where you live you will want to get snow tires either way so I don't think it matters
@@carsunlocked ok, thanks. One last question, have you done a video on the 2020/2021 Nissan Versa SR? If so, what are your insights on it? If not, can you do a video on it when you get the chance?
I prefer the Altima SL, however I think at least at the present moment that won't be possible, since I don't think I qant to downgrade to a base model Altima S, unless in your opinion you don't see a complete or significant difference of it when compared to the SL, aside from the premium features of course.
Anyway, I think I might I will not take the risk with the Sentra for now at least, and just go with a 2020/2021 Nissan Versa SR instead, which is also significantly less than both the Sentra and Altima. I have someone in my family who has a 2018 Nissan Versa sedan, and so far so good. I think I might give it a try, and maybe down the road save up for a loaded Altima SL.
yea i did film the VERSA SR check it out on my channel. I plan to do a Versa vs sentra comparison to help educate consumers on the difference
Sentra has a better design. Altima should’ve fallowed
The Altima was made first or was the sentra s redesign that followed the Altima
Competitors like Toyota have huge physical differences between the Camry and Corolla, Optima and Forte or Hyundai with their Sonata and Elantra. But Nissan decided they'll make the same body style. Nissan's sales won't be as good as the Optima/Sonata, Camry, Accord and Mazda3 Sedans because their Sentra will steal the shine due to the pricing from the Altima ($10,000 more for the same look).
أكو عرب بالطيارة؟
the altima 0-60 is almost 10 seconds while the sentra 0-60 is 8 actually so even with more power in the altima you're not getting "better acceleration" as the video stated
I disagree drive them both back to back and you will understand what I mean here. Altima definitely has better acceleration
if you learn the curve you can get th Altima close to 7-7.5
I like the Altima more, it is more car than the Sentra. In security the Altima is better. That's what I'm looking for, security.
Yes a bit more value too. Thanks for your comments
Altima only lasts 60,000 miles until major repair, the Sentra is way better in my opinion!
Sentra looks and its a better choice in my opinion. Great review!! 🙂
Christian Garcia don’t do it
thanks for comment christian dont listen to the haters
Sentra no questions.
great choice
Keep my 2018 Maxima 85k miles or buy the sentra for a lower payment? 😬
keep your maxima payments suck
3 more years left on the loan. Something like $410 a month. Will have close to 140k miles when it's paid off.
@@matthewc4451 seems like you do a lot of trying but I will always have payments if u keep trading your car in
@@carsunlocked Yeah I always have the mindset of paying it off but I never quite get there 🤣 I'm looking into maybe a lease for that reason just wasn't sure if I would absolutely hate going from Maxima to Sentra or if the perks of a lower payment plus a new car every so often would counterbalance. I'm ok with always having a car payment
@@matthewc4451 awesome let me know what you decide
U know Mexico Nissan dealership Sentra come with paddle shifter...🤔
ohhh thats pretty sweet

I would say the Altima for sure
@@carsunlocked That's pretty discouraging! Altima has a terrible reliability score

@@mixailonemaga1253 this is a new altima its reliability has not been proven yet! You are living in the past grow up!!
The Shooter's Bay Lol, all the major reviewers give Altima lower reliability ratings and felt that then driving experience was lackluster. I also don’t know why you have to be offensive to me. If you feel you want to get Altima, get Altima. Why put others down? Very mature of you.
@@mixailonemaga1253 lol you tell em brother
