I drive a lot of rental Altimas & Sentras for work and many of the newer ones (2022+) have reached 80K+ miles and the transmission still feels very smooth and zippy. The new CVTs are a lot more reliable than they used to be, just change the fluid on time and it will last a long time.
I think it looks great. It doesn't have to be boring just because it's an economy car.
this is definitely the best looking sentra. i want a cheap, reliable commuter car, but i also want it to look good.
Cheap little family car. We need more of this. Thank you for the review, love these.
Best looking Sentra to date!
So you prefer the boring basic black interior to Nissans pop of color? I very much disagree and applaud Nissan for upgrading this interior so it’s no longer a penalty box.
The interior looks a lot nicer than previous generation
Over the top ? I think it looks fine. Why can’t low cost be a little flashy looking. Thanks for the review.
You are wrong! it's not because someone is not rich that they want their cars to looks like a Lada. the fact that Nissan spend some time to make the model attractive is a positive point not a negative one
Very good-looking well-equipped vehicle. Good value for your dollar. Im not a Nissan fan, but they are trying hard to get your money. Good for them and their fans.
Disagree about looks, I think it looks great! But let’s see in a couple years maybe 😂 Thanks for reviewing, I was hoping you’d get to this one.
As a huge Nissan fan, I hope their resurgence continues, been making great designs lately!
For an economy car, Nissan nailed it. Toyota and Honda can’t match this interior design and quality!
I must disagree, the exterior design doesn’t look bad. It has some older maxima / Altima design language. In the last 10-15 years Nissan Infinity has very unique and lovable designs.
I disagree with you, Why does a small car have to look economy, It looks sharp almost elegant
I actually really like the look of it and think it’s nice from all sides.
I think the exterior looks great. I don't know why the complaints. A lot better than the old one's.
This Sentra feels like the voice of sanity in today’s world of high-boost, small-displacement turbo engines. It looks good inside and out, the specs seem reasonable, and if the price isn’t through the roof, it could be a solid Corolla competitor.
I have a 24 I bought to run to work and back. SV trim with heated seats and steering wheel, remote start, pearl paint and a few other lil add ons. I can easily get 40mpg. I'm 6'5" and I'm extremely comfortable in it with good visibility. It hasn't so much as had the backup camera flicker. Even all the safety junk works perfectly. I paid $20443 and it was only $24k to begin with. I deliver parts to dealerships and talked to service managers and techs and to be honest the Sentra was even recommended by people at other dealerships because of its price and they knew I'd take care of it. I even wax the thing (in the backyard so no one sees me lol). It's slow, but it's way cheaper than anything from Toyota or Honda that's similarly equipped. I'm so impressed with the little turd that I'll probably get a used Frontier in a few years when my Tacoma finally gives up. The Tacoma is miserable to drive but it just won't die😂
I have to be honest, I like the new Sentra especially the SL trim
