The first Sentra was introduced in 1982, and it has since then spanned 7 generations and over 34 years with 4 million sales in the U.S. alone. Of those last 10 years, 93 percent are still on the road. Reason: remarkable endurance. There has been a 91.2 percent sales growth since 2012, with over 200,000 units sold last year alone.
Sentra has a new design language called “Energetic Flow,” which calls for some major outside design changes. Examples are a new hood, new fenders, V-Motion grille, and “Boomerang” headlights, making up an attractive front fascia. A new rear fascia with strong lines gives Sentra a bold, attractive look.
The newly refreshed 17-inch alloy wheels design and tail lamps add a new aesthetic look to the fascia.
The Sentra energy is powered by a 1.8 L 4-cylinder engine coupled with Xtronic CVT or 6-speed automatic transmission. All these things help the Sentra in delivering an estimated 29-city/38-highway/32-combined mpg (with the CVT), making the Sentra very competitive in the compact segment. Yet, the Sentra barely does have adequate acceleration.
The new Sentra has many things to ensure occupants comfort. The six-way power adjustable driver’s seat (soft seat fabrics) with 2-way power lumbar support hangs in there for the long haul, helping to keep the driver relaxed and comfortable.
