DARTMOUTHNISSAN.COM 5 483 STATE ROAD, ROUTE 6, DARTMOUTH, MA 02747 THE MAJOR SEDAN SIMILARITIES Let’s start with the basics. You’ll notice that, as sedans, the 2018 Altima, the 2018 Maxima, and the 2018 Sentra are all equipped with four doors, five seats, and a front-wheel drivetrain. Each sedan also offers a smart infotainment system and adjoining features, such as Bluetooth® connectability for audio streaming and safe hands-free phone calling and text messaging. Speaking of safety, all three Nissan sedans are also equipped with the latest in safety technology while offering even more available safety features, including Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. These features use advanced sensors to keep an eye on every angle of your vehicle, especially the sections you have trouble seeing. One other similarity you’ll see in these three sedans is the optional Midnight Edition trim. This trim in all three models offers exclusive exterior qualities that make for one sleek-looking ride. Experience Exclusive Midnight Edition black alloy wheels, black exterior accents, and Black Midnight Edition badging. WHAT SETS THEM APART FROM EACH OTHER One of the first and most obvious differences you’re going to see in these vehicles is the difference in performance. The 2018 Altima and the 2018 Sentra offer powertrains that are built to last for the long-haul, while the Maxima focuses more on power. Despite all that souped-up performance, you’ll still benefit from an EPA-estimated 21 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway with the Maxima.2 Another major difference that you’ll see is in terms of interior cargo and passenger volume. The Altima has a bit more wiggle room for passengers with 101.9 cubic feet of interior passenger volume in addition to some extra storage room with 15.4 cubic feet of trunk space. DARTMOUTHNISSAN.COM 6 483 STATE ROAD, ROUTE 6, DARTMOUTH, MA 02747 Additionally, both the Altima and the Maxima offer 45 spacious inches of front legroom, while the Sentra, as the more compact model of the three, gives you 42.5 inches of front legroom. The Sentra, though, redefines “compact” by having the most rear legroom at 37.4 inches. So, what it boils down to is that each of these sedans, while capable in their own regard, specializes in one area of expertise or another. The Altima’s efficiency makes for happy daily commuters. The Maxima’s power output and standard luxury features are good for those looking for a ride that’s sporty yet affordable. The Sentra is compact but still manages to give you all the space you need for your passengers and cargo. NOW, IT’S TIME TO FIND YOUR NISSAN SEDAN!
