What to weigh before buying

Trim selection determines the Sentra’s engine output, transmission, fuel recommendation, and fuel economy. The 1.8-liter trims emphasize regular unleaded operation and up to 29 city/37 highway MPG, while the 1.6-liter turbo trims deliver 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque with premium unleaded recommended.

Consider how the five-seat sedan’s 15.1 cubic feet of rear cargo space fits daily needs, along with the differences between manual and continuously variable transmissions. Comparing the starting MSRP, destination charge, and ownership priorities can help narrow the six-trim lineup.
