Advantages

Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)

RDM* can determine if you cross over detected lane lines without signaling, can provide steering assistance to help you return to your lane or provide braking to help keep you from leaving the roadway entirely.

Smart Entry. Smarter exit.

Keep the keys in your pocket with available Smart Entry and enjoy the convenient assurance of Walk Away Auto Lock®. The Sentra can't give you that kind of a hand.

More horsepower.

The Civic EX features a 4-cylinder, 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that clocks in at 174 horsepower.* That’s more muscle than the 149-horsepower Sentra SV can deliver.

An eight-speaker symphony.
