2017 Nissan Sentra

Nissan has grown steadily but significantly in overall sales volume over the last few years, aided in large part by the current seventh-generation Sentra. In 2016, the Sentra received a moderate facelift that included a new fascia, front and rear lights, and wheels. For 2017, Nissan has added a brand new sporty SR Turbo trim—its first turbocharged Sentra for U.S. markets. The 2017 Sentra is still available in S, SV, SR, and SL trims, with an all-out NISMO performance version in development.
Under the hood of the Sentra is a conventional 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine that makes 130 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque when mated to a 6-speed manual (available only on the S trim) and 124 hp and 125 lb-ft of torque when paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Fuel-economy figures are 29 mpg city, 37 highway, and 32 combined with the CVT and 27, 35, and 30 with the manual. The new SR Turbo, meanwhile, is also available with a 6-speed manual or a CVT and features a 1.6-liter direct-injected 4-cylinder engine also used in the Juke crossover. This unit makes 188 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque, which is a sizable increase compared to the standard Sentra but still not enough to turn this 1,900-pound car into a speed demon. Potential buyers should expect the SR Turbo’s fuel-economy figures to drop a few points and should also factor in the extra cost of premium fuel.
All Sentras come with Normal, Eco, and Sport driving modes selectable via a small button on the dash that alter throttle response and shift timing. The SR Turbo also gets suspension, steering, and brake upgrades to improve the driving experience, but those who want a serious front-wheel-drive (FWD) compact car will almost undoubtedly prefer the quicker and more focused Mazda Mazdaspeed3, the Ford Focus ST, or the upcoming Honda Civic Si. Like the 2016 Sentra, the 2017 model features a speed-sensitive power-steering system and brake-controlled steering assist, which applies the brake on the inside front wheels during cornering to more effectively take a tight turn. Trims below the SR, however, still have to make do with rear drum brakes instead of the upgraded 4-wheel disc brakes.
One of the Sentra’s biggest appeals is its interior room. The back seat is especially roomy for all but the tallest passengers, and 2017 Sentras have extra room in the center console. Trunk space is also among the best in class, and all Sentras include split-folding rear seats. The cabin is quieter now as well, thanks to added insulation and thicker laminated glass. Cloth upholstery is standard, but leather is an option for the SR and SR Turbo trims and comes standard on the SL. The S trim’s features are limited but include cruise control, keyless entry, and Bluetooth, while the SV adds a rear-view camera, Siri Eyes Free, and push-button start. The SR and SR Turbo add sporty external bits like 17-inch wheels, chrome exhaust tips, and a mild body kit as well as internal comfort features like premium cloth sport seats and heated front seats. The SL further adds leather seats, dual-zone climate control, NissanConnect with navigation, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. Extra options include a moonroof and an 8-speaker Bose sound system.
With a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Sentra excels in the safety category—although it didn’t perform as well in National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests. A range of safety technologies called “Safety Shield” were introduced for the 2016 Sentra and are still available on the 2017 model, including forward emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitors, and rear cross-traffic alerts.
Although the Sentra is one of Nissan’s stronger sellers, it’s up against increasingly tough competition from the likes of the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Chevrolet Cruze, and even the Mazda3. While the new SR Turbo does broaden the Sentra’s appeal slightly, true driving enthusiasts will likely want to wait for the NISMO version to really consider a Sentra. Even so, the Sentra ticks all the right boxes in terms of practicality, safety, and economy in the $20,000 compact bracket.

Review
by CarGuru41Cars features was great, minus the non-electrical seats. Car is a good value, not a great value. Still very interested for the purposes of first car for a teenager. -

by AyobolaI like it. It’s very practical with some contemporary features. If it came with a standard Navigation system and chrome wheels, it would get a 5 star rating from me -
