About The Sentra
The Nissan Sentra’s beginnings started way back in 1982 when the firm rebadged a Nissan Sunny for the export market.
This Sentra eventually replaced the Sunny in 2006 when it hits its sixth generation of design.
It started as a compact vehicle but as it grew over the decades it was recently reclassified in 2007 as a mid-sized compact sedan due to interior volume.
Original engine sizes back in the 1980s were around the 1.5-liter area but as the car grew larger and heavier so did the engine sizes and power output.
The most recent release of the Sentra in 2019 offers a 1.6 or 2.0-liter gasoline engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission or CVT.
It also shares its platform with many Renault and Nissan models such as the Nissan Rogue and Renault Espace.
Modern versions come in a variety of trims including a sporty SR level with all trims coming in a charcoal grey interior color scheme.
The “S” trim brings with it a modern infotainment system with touch screen controls and Bluetooth connectivity.
Then the SR trim comes with 18-inch alloy wheels and a leather interior with premium surround sound speakers.
When you purchase a new or used Sentra, it’s important that you know how to maintain and take care of it.
That means knowing the proper way to store your car in the winter months or when not driving it, understanding how to change your oil, and more importantly for some people – knowing where the owner’s manual is located.
