Advantages👍
- An econobox is no longer an available.
If you recall Sentras from the past as teeny-tiny rental vehicles, you'll have to change your mind. The Sentra is a fantastic vehicle. It now drives and rides more like a mid-size car than a budget putt-putt. That makes sense, given that our Sentra SR cost just over $25,000 new. Our higher-end SR CVT model starts at roughly $21,400, and ours came with around $2,000 in luxury inside enhancements.
- It's upbeat.
After driving the Sentra, we were surprised to hear that the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine only generates 149 horsepower. It felt like a lot more. The Sentra cruised around town with ease, never seeming underpowered. For whatever reason, the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is included in the model name. Perhaps "Transmission!" was appropriated) was especially impressive to us. It doesn't have the unpleasant whining or rev hunting that other CVTs have. It functioned admirably without drawing attention to itself. Overall, the Sentra is reminiscent of smaller Hondas at their best; it's entertaining and simple to drive.
- Comfortable.
In terms of riding, the new Sentra is a significant improvement over the previous model. Bumps are nicely absorbed, resulting in a ride quality that one would not anticipate from a compact vehicle. The Sentra provides a relaxing ride that is easy to live with.
- Handling.
Despite the comfort settings, handling is excellent, thanks to a revised rear suspension that reduces body lean. The steering is quite accurate and agile. This is the first Sentra that we've ever enjoyed driving. That was the case.
- The Mileage.
We believed the mileage was excellent, with an overall EPA rating of 32 mpg.
- More space.
This isn't a Genesis G90, but it's no longer a claustrophobic economy car. Inside, it has a light and airy feel. Even the back seats are spacious enough for adults to sit comfortably. Heated, leather, power-adjustable seats and a well-made interior with better-than-average materials were included in our test vehicle.
- It's up to date.
The controls are sleek and modern, with an 8-inch touchscreen taking care of the majority of the infotainment duties. It's quite simple and straightforward to use, and it took us no time to get the hang of it. The rest of the controls are straightforward and easy to use. A decent volume knob and temperature switches that are simple to use. Parking brake pedals are hard to come by these days, but once we discovered one, it worked perfectly.
- Safety .
The Sentra, to its credit, comes with the complete complement of safety features that Car Talk recommends. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert are all included in the Nissan Safety Shield 360 package. Our test car also had a surround-view camera for backing up and parking, which was a nice feature.
Disadvantages👎
- There isn't much.
When fully loaded, the $25K pricing puts you in the same class as a car a size larger. However, with dealer incentives, the average Sentra SV and SR will cost in the mid teens and low twenties.
- A little too low.
It's a sedan that rides low to the ground. So, if you're having problems getting into or out of a vehicle, give it a shot.
- Seats at the back.
Although there is considerable space in the back, the rear seats are not very comfy for lengthy journeys. So don't get one for someone who will force you to ride in the back.
