2024 Honda CivicMPG Ratings & Specs Comparison
The 2024 Honda Civic specs leave the Nissan Sentra no chance to win in this comparison. Why? Because the Honda Civic is both the most fuel-efficient car here as well as the most powerful and fun to drive.
Let’s start with efficiency. The 2024 Honda Civic Sedan returns up to 42 highway mpg and 31 city mpg, with both figures edging out the Sentra fuel economy ratings.1 The Civic does all this while offering more standard horsepower.
Speaking of power, the Civic family offers two additional engine options beyond its entry-level powerplant: a 180-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter engine, and a fearsome turbo 2.0-liter that generates 315 horsepower in the Honda Civic Type R. Kansas City Honda fans don’t need to be reminded that no Sentra trim comes even remotely close what the Civic Type R is capable of. No wonder that the Sentra, both literally and metaphorically, is a mere speck in the rearview mirror of the almighty Civic.

2024 Honda CivicInterior & Body Style Comparison
The Honda Civic easily outclasses the Sentra even if you preclude the above performance specs. The most obvious non-mechanical difference between these two cars? With the Honda, you can buy a Civic Hatchback or Civic Sedan; the Sentra is solely available as a sedan.
Even limiting this Honda vs. Nissan comparison to strictly the sedan models doesn’t help the Sentra, as the Civic Sedan offers more cargo space thanks to its 14.8 cubic feet of trunk volume. In the passenger compartment, both the Civic Sedan and Civic Hatchback offer 99 cubic feet of passenger volume, which also exceeds that of the Sentra. More, more, more -- that’s the mantra of every Civic for sale in Lee’s Summit, and it makes the Sentra appear the lesser car in every way.
