Nissan's latest Sentra offers improved value with a 2.0-liter inline-four producing 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft, a CVT, front-wheel drive, 33 mpg combined and a $23,845 base price ($30,375 as-tested).
Class-leading hybrids such as the Honda Civic Hybrid and Toyota Corolla Hybrid deliver better efficiency, but the Nissan Sentra is more competitive and typically cheaper than the base non-hybrid Civic and Corolla, reducing compromise for budget buyers.
Nissan has been working to restore a cohesive brand identity after years of lower-cost positioning, and this generation Sentra shows improvements in key areas while remaining largely mechanically similar to the previous model. A heavy winter storm shortly after driving left the Sentra heavily coated in snow, highlighting its familiar yet refreshed appearance.
