The Nissan Sentra is built on a new platform that provides greatly improved proportions and stance and the look of the car combines a sense of sportiness with its refined style. What is new in Nissan Sentra 2019 is the SV Special Edition Package, which features 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, rear disc brakes, Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), power sliding glass moonroof with tilt feature, center room dim lamp (LED), dual illuminated visor vanity mirrors and Special Edition badge.

Nissan installed two engine options under the hood, with power ranged between 124 hp and 188 hp paired to either a 6-speed manual or a CVT.

The 2013 model year Nissan Sentra adopted new front and rear ends along with redesigned rims, new exterior finishes, LED lighting and a slightly lower belt line. The interior came with a new dashboard and instrumentation, new seats, more legroom as well as new tech features.

The restyled Sentra comes iwth the same choice of two power units with capacities of 1.8 L and 2.0 L respectively. While the first is commonly known as Nissan’s economy-plant and comes with base-level trims, the latter can be found on the much sportier SE-R and SE-R V-spec versions. The cars come with 15″ alloy rims although bigger ones coupled with a sport suspension and other features are available with a Sports package.

Things changed for NIssan’s SE-R 2006 line-up with both the base model and the high-end V spec receiving a series of major upgrades. Starting from the exterior to engine moving parts, the SE-R was completely redesigned. Both cars got 4-wheel disc brakes and 17 ” alloy rims as well as enhanced 2.5 Liter petrol units. The SE-R had an output of 177 hp and 233 Nm of max torque while the V-spec produced 200 hp and a max torque of 244 Nm. Suspension was finely tuned to increase handling but preserve ride smoothness.

SE-R models didn’t see much changes during the 2004 minor facelift. However, the SE-R line-up had been refreshed 2 years before with the introduction of a 165 hp engine for the base SE-R and a more powerful 175 hp for the V spec. The latter was coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission and a limited slip differential for optimum torque distribution. SE-R configurations were altered by 2004 when manual transmissions were discarded in favor of automatic ones.

The 200 facelift saw the introduction of a restyled, better-looking Sentra.
Fortunately, the car’s joyful appearance and easy-to-drive character haven’t been lost in transition. However, older trim names were when the Sentra received four equipment levels, ranging from the base XE to the well-fitted GXE, sporty SE and environmentaly conscious CA. The cars come with a standard 1.8 liter engine with an output of 126 hp but an optional 2.0 Liter unit is also available. The latter, which delivers 145 hp is a standard on SE models, along other performance features.
