2022 Nissan Sentra S

The 2022 Sentra is a compact sedan that slots below the Altima, offering a comfortable ride and a long list of standard safety tech. It competes with the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Mazda3, though it leans more toward comfort than sporty driving. The Sentra handles competently with light steering, making it easy to maneuver in the city, though it is not quick. Inside, the Sentra offers a spacious rear seat and a large trunk, but the cabin plastics feel hard and dated. A 7.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard, along with Nissan's Safety Shield 360 suite. The S is the one to pick if you want the Sentra's comfort and safety tech at the lowest price, though you give up the SV's alloy wheels and upgraded audio.
