You may have read somewhere before, possibly even on this website, that the Toyota Corolla is the best-selling car in the history of the automotive industry. Such success does not happen by accident and Toyota does not take it for granted. This is why every new Corolla is built to surpass expectations and uphold its reputation as one of the best cars ever made.
It is understandable then that all other carmakers that design and sell cars in the compact segment want a piece of the Toyota Corolla pie. Every new entry or revised automobile is taken seriously and one such completely update car is the all-new 2020 Nissan Sentra.
The comparison is valid as both are or once were volume leaders for their respective manufacturers and both are all-new for 2020. Similarities between the two are numerous, starting with all-new platforms, revised or uprated powertrains, completely redesigned outer shells and interiors.
A main differentiator is Toyota’s philosophy that there’s a Corolla for everyone. The compact car is offered in three distinct series in the L, S and the Hybrid. There’s luxurious, sporty and absolute efficiency. Within these ranges, there are two to three different sub-trims. By contrast, the 2020 Nissan Sentra is available in five trims.
The new Corolla and Sentra cater to five occupants with relative ease and are capable of handling a weekend’s worth of gear in the trunk. Technology-wise, they also aim to please with standard 7-inch touchscreens but the Corolla includes Apple CarPlay.
From here, it’s all 2020 Toyota Corolla. Before detailing the Toyota’s specs, the Nissan Sentra is only available with a 149-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. The hyper-popular compact Toyota can be equipped with either a 139-horsepower 1.8-liter or a 169-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. Interestingly, when mated to the continuously variable automatic transmissions, the Corolla’s more powerful 2.0-liter consumes an identical amount of fuel.
The hook in the 2020 Toyota Corolla family is Hybrid version. With Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive system mated to a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine, the hybrid consumes, on average, as little as 4.4 litres/city and 4.5 litres/highway per 100km of fuel. Nothing beats the Corolla hybrid in the segment.
The 2020 Toyota Corolla is and will continue to be a best-seller.
