Large chrome grille dominates the Sentra's face. The fog lights are the lone sporty detail. Undulating character line, as seen on the Altima, can't fully disguise the Sentra's proportions.
Red might not be the best hue for these generous curves. SL's 17-inch wheels help. Forte's styling much sleeker than the Sentra's.
Tall, square rear end has some non-aesthetic benefits. Especially in SL, with shiny faux timber, the interior design is the most traditional in the class.
Nissan says the shape of the instrument panel was inspired by a bird's wing. Forte interior could be overly stark for some tastes.
Classy, traditional gauges and logical controls. Upscale appearance, but lacking in upscale features.
Improved, but still just adequate. Among the largest trunks in the class. Square rear + protruding tail lamps = muffin-top effect.
