A More Convenient Drive

When you’re driving down the road, you want information to be easily accessible. That way, you don’t need to look away from the road to see who’s calling or which direction you need to turn next.

The Nissan Sentra makes this easy with a standard Advanced Drive-Assist® Display. This 4.2-inch color display sits right in the instrument panel, where it’s easy to see important information without turning your head.

Meanwhile, if your tires get low on air, both cars will let you know, thanks to a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). That way, you know it’s time to stop at a gas station to fill them up.

The Sentra takes this technology a step further with a standard Easy-Fill Tire Alert. When you're adding air to your tires, this feature will automatically let you know when they’re full. With that neat addition, there’s no need for stopping every few seconds to check the pressure like you’d need to do in the Mazda3.

Performance and Efficiency

When you want an efficient ride, the Nissan Sentra and Mazda3 both deliver with impressively efficient engines. With the Sentra, drivers will be working with a compact 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. Drivers who choose the Mazda3 will be working with a larger standard Skyactiv®-G 2.5L 4-cylinder engine.

However, the Sentra engine is more fuel efficient. It can achieve an EPA-estimated 29 city/39 highway MPG.¹ Compare that to the Mazda3, which only gets an EPA-estimated 26 city/35 highway MPG. While it may not seem like much of a difference, that small amount adds up over time.
