A Look Inside: 2019 Elantra vs 2019 Sentra

Contrary to popular belief, both compact sedans can comfortably seat adults in the rear seats. However, the Hyundai Elantra offers slightly more interior headroom at 40.3 inches in the front and 37.3 inches in the rear; while the Nissan Sentra only offers 39.4 inches of front headroom and 36.7 inches of rear headroom. While both sedans have nicely cushioned seats, the Hyundai Elantra delivers the superior experience with nicer and more premium materials throughout the cabin. In particular, on the higher-end and mid-range Elantras, you’ll enjoy nicer leather upholstery that feels more premium than the Sentra. When you add in the Sentra’s interior has remained largely unchanged for several years, it’s easy to see why the 2019 Hyundai Elantra leads in this category.
