Pros Excellent fuel economy Roomy, comfortable seats
Cons Frustrating infotainment system Subpar cargo capacity
The 2018 Lexus RX 450h is less expensive than last year, but some features that were standard are now optional. These include the sunroof, roof rails, heated and ventilated front seats, driver-seat memory settings, navigation system and blind-spot monitoring. The new Premium package adds some of these features back in, while others are sold as stand-alone options.
PROS Impeccably crafted and attractively designed cabin Excellent fuel economy for a luxury crossover Supremely quiet Appealing ride and handling balance with F Sport package
CONS Relatively slow acceleration Below-average cargo capacity Optional tech interface is distracting to use
RX 450hL hybrids have a lower-output V-6, batteries, and motors that power the rear wheels for a through-the-road, all-wheel-drive powertrain. The continuously variable transmission saps the life out of its delivery, but it’s smooth.
Pros Bracing design Swift acceleration Broad range of road manners Hybrid's high gas mileage High-tech safety standard
Cons That polarizing sheet metal Gets expensive in a hurry Firm F Sport ride Gas-only mileage just average
The 2019 Nissan Sentra is a compact sedan that handles the basics and little more.
Pros Active safety tech on most Decent fuel economy Apple and Android capability Spacious rear seat
Cons Turbos aren’t much fun Vague 6-speed manual Droning CVT Leisurely acceleration in most models Top-end trims are costly
The 2019 Nissan Sentra doesn't attract much attention. It's not as popular in terms of sales as other top small sedans, and it's fair to say that its styling isn't as memorable. But depending on your needs, it could still be worth a look.
Pros Spacious back seat and trunk for the class Priced lower than many rivals User-friendly control layout
Cons Slow acceleration on most models Lacks the latest in infotainment design and safety features The seats aren't particularly suitable for taller drivers Less engaging driving experience than many competitors
