Safe. Fuel Efficient. Great Performance. These are three ways to describe the 2021 Hyundai Elantra and 2021 Nissan Sentra.

What’s more important than feeling safe? The Elantra and the Sentra both go a long way toward making sure you’re safe at all times and act as a second set of eyes on the road. These cars come with similar standard safety features, such as:
Where the Elantra excels over the Sentra is with the standard Driver Attention Warning, which will alert you if the car detects you are driving outside of your normal driving habits, and Safe Exit Warning, which will alert you of potential accidents if your car door is open.
