2021 Subaru WRX vs. 2021 Nissan Sentra
Praised for its agile and surefooted handling, the 2021 Subaru WRX makes its way to the top of compact cars. While it does not have major changes when compared to its previous model, it does impress with its powerful engine choices.
The 2021 Nissan Sentra is proud to include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard in its list of features. Expect other technologies included in it as well.
Design & Style
The 2021 Subaru WRX has about 12 cubic feet of trunk space with a 60/40 split configuration in the rear seats to allow tossing luggage and other items easier than usual. Seating five people comfortably in its generously-spaced configuration, the ride also provides hip-hugging support during bumpier trips. It is basically wrapped with cloth upholstery and has manually-adjustable seats as well. Overall, the cabin is airy and cozy, bringing some touches of modernity to it.
In the case of the Nissan Sentra, there is a 14.3 cubic feet of trunk space for your suitcases. The rear seats cannot be folded, which makes it lag behind that of the WRX. Promising to seat five passengers, the best configuration is two adults in front, and three kids or smaller adults at the back. It has plenty of hard plastics, making the cabin feel outdated when compared to that of the WRX.
Technology & Safety
The 2021 Subaru WRX is no different to its brothers from the brand when it comes to technologies. This one has the 6.5-inch touch screen for its Starlink infotainment system. The setup is easy-to-use and has climate and audio control knobs for easier configuration. It is also supplied with smartphone integration, two USB ports, satellite radio, and Bluetooth. Safety equipment includes the rearview camera for the base with available options such as lane keep assist, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot monitoring, among others.
When it comes to the Sentra, it uses a seven-inch touch screen for its infotainment system. There are physical controls near the driver’s side, but unlike that of the WRX, this one does not have a clear graphics display. It now has smartphone integration, together with four speakers, a USB port, and Bluetooth. Automatic high-beam headlights, lane departure warning, rearview camera, and driver attention monitor are the safety features you will find in the vehicle.
Performance
Oozing power for the Subaru WRX is its four-cylinder turbocharged engine that has the capacity to naturally aspirate power for 268 horses. The four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine in the Nissan Sentra can only boost up to 149 horsepower, which is way lower than the results in the Subaru.
The Bottom Line
The 2021 Subaru WRX is one compact car that knows how to fascinate a family or group of five people. It has a modern cabin, with technologies that are worth every penny you spend. The more powerful engine it has topples down the Nissan Sentra even more. This makes it a better compact car over its counterpart.
