Looking for the best compact sedan in Ohio? The 2025 Nissan Sentra and the 2025 Toyota Corolla are two top contenders. While both offer reliability, fuel efficiency, and modern features, the Sentra stands out for Akron drivers seeking comfort, safety, and value. Let’s break down how these compact sedans compare.

The 2025 Nissan Sentra features a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with 149 horsepower, paired with a smooth CVT transmission for a quiet and comfortable ride. Fuel economy is impressive at 33 mpg combined, making it perfect for Ohio city streets and highway commutes.

Meanwhile, the 2025 Toyota Corolla delivers 169 horsepower with its 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, but its CVT can feel less refined during longer drives. Fuel efficiency averages 32–33 mpg combined, putting it on par but slightly behind the Sentra in comfort and ride quality.

Step inside the Nissan Sentra and you’ll find a spacious, modern interior with soft-touch materials and intuitive controls. Standard tech includes an 8-inch touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and Nissan Safety Shield® 360 driver-assist technology.

The Corolla offers similar technology, but many features—like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert—are only available on higher trims. The Sentra provides a more premium feel across all trims, ideal for daily commuting and family drives in Ohio.

Safety is crucial for Ohio drivers, and the Sentra delivers standard with Nissan Safety Shield® 360, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning.

The Corolla has Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0, but some key features are only included in higher trims, which can add to the overall cost.

Starting at a competitive price, the 2025 Nissan Sentra offers more standard features and comfort than a base Toyota Corolla. With excellent fuel efficiency, advanced safety tech, and a refined interior, the Sentra provides better overall value for Ohio drivers.

Whether commuting in Akron, exploring Ohio highways, or running errands, the 2025 Nissan Sentra combines safety, efficiency, and comfort. Its advanced technology, standard safety features, and superior ride quality make it the smarter choice over the Toyota Corolla for Ohio drivers.
