I took a new $24,000 Nissan Sentra SV on a first drive to find out if this basic yet stylish sedan is a good deal — here's the verdict
Enter the all-new, eighth-generation Sentra, featuring a revamp for 2020 that strives to make it an undemanding yet distinctive choice in a segment that's supposed to be losing out to crossover SUV, but that stillNissan invited me to check out the new Sentra for a few hours in Manhattan, which is admittedly not the ideal motoring environment . Still, it didn't take long to determine that the Sentra's update was thought through in all the right ways.
I've checked out some of the Sentra's competition of late, notably the Toyota Corolla, and on balance I'd say that Nissan has definitely brought a little more fun to the party with the interior.Nissan is keeping it simple with the engine. There's just one option: a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder that makes a rated 149 horsepower and 146 foot-pounds of torque.The power is sent to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission.
I can't avoid my own recollections of first cars when I have a crack at a basic sedan that's as tasty as the Sentra. My first cars had plastic upholstery, lacked power steering, didn't enjoy front disk brakes, were devoid of power, dreamed of cruise control, boasted grabby five-speed manual transmissions with rubbery clutches, had hand-crank windows, and in lieu of infotainment, offered buzzy AM/FM radios.
