EXTERIOR DESIGN
Class-defying class
It’s big, it’s roomy, and it features a lower, aerodynamic body that widens at the fenders for a striking broad-shouldered look. Together with finishing touches usually reserved for luxury vehicles, Sentra’s transformation is nothing short of class-defying.
-
LED brilliance LED accent lights catch the eye. That means they can help make Sentra visible to other drivers, even in daylight—and they’re stylish too.
-
Stylish wheels The available 17” alloy wheels not only look really cool, they’re also lightweight—helping to contribute to a smooth and responsive ride.
-
Clarity in almost any condition With available heated exterior mirrors, weather conditions won’t prevent you from seeing what’s coming up from behind. Plus, integrated turn indicator lights signal your intentions.

PERFORMANCE
First-class
get up and go
Best-in-Class 34 MPG[*] Combined Mileage
For 2013, we completely redesigned Sentra’s powertrain. It now comes with a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine, and a smooth-shifting Xtronic CVT® that’ll handle the passing lane as easily as the parking garage. But power is just the start. Every part—from its twin valve timing system to its beehive-shaped springs—is built for fuel efficiency. Best-in-Class 34MPG combined[*] fuel efficiency, to be precise.
Speed-sensitive electric steering
From the parking lot to the freeway, Sentra’s electric power steering system varies with your velocity. At low speeds the steering wheel is easy to turn, making parking a breeze. Pick up the pace and it becomes more rigid, giving you better control.
Smart alternator
In the new Sentra, even the alternator helps improve gas mileage. It only kicks in when engine load is low—like when you’re cruising at a steady pace, coasting, or slowing down. That means less wasted power and more miles to the gallon. Clever.
Independent front suspension
Sentra’s independent front suspension is paired with a stabilizer bar and advanced ripple control shocks—like the ones you find in sports cars and luxury sedans. Together, they deliver a new-pavement-smooth ride.
-
Next-generation Xtronic CVT® It’s our most innovative Sentra ever, and it’s equipped with Nissan’s Next-Generation Xtronic CVT®.
Next-generation Xtronic CVT
Nissan’s next-generation Xtronic CVT® guarantees Sentra is always running in the right gear. That means better fuel efficiency[*], smooth acceleration, and seamless shifting.
-
Eco Pedal Indicator
Get better mileage just by changing your driving habits. The all-new Sentra is equipped with an Eco Pedal Indicator that lets you know when you’re driving efficiently, and helps you smooth things out if it detects you might be using more fuel than necessary.
-
Aerodynamic design
Sentra’s streamlined new body is designed to let air flow over, around, and under more easily, literally creating efficiency out of thin air.
Drive it your way
3 Drive Modes
With three drive modes, whatever your lifestyle or your mood, there’s a Sentra to match. It’s almost like having three cars in one.
-
Eco
Choose Eco Mode to help you maximize
fuel efficiency. -
Normal
For an ideal blend of efficiency and performance, set the drive mode to Normal.
-
Sport
For maximum responsiveness—and a boost
of fun— try Sport Mode.
SAFETY
Safety in numbers
Sentra is packed with safety features—over 50 in fact. Like six airbags[*] that adjust their inflation rate based on the severity of impact, and safety belt usage. And braking and traction features that help you stay on course when course conditions aren’t ideal. They’re all part of Nissan’s Safety Shield Technology.
-
RearView Monitor
Sentra’s optional RearView Monitor[*] gives you a clearer view of what’s directly behind you. Because it’s nice to have a little back-up when you’re backing up.
-
Traction Control System (TCS)
When the Traction Control System senses drive-wheel spin, it reduces throttle to help maintain traction. That means more confidence at the wheel, knowing you’ll have better control in slippery conditions, and rounding sharp corners.
-
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
When you need to stop in a hurry, Sentra’s Anti-lock Braking System pumps the brakes faster than you can, preventing wheel lockup and keeping you in control. So just hit the brakes, focus on steering, and let ABS work its magic.
-
Brake Assist and Electronic
Brake Distribution (EBD)Should you ever need to slam on the brakes, Sentra’s Brake Assist will help you come to a quicker stop, by applying maximum braking force. If you’ve got passengers in the back, EBD will detect the added weight and apply the right amount of pressure to the rear brakes too.
-
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
Standard on all Sentra trims, VDC[*] takes ‘smart’ to a new level. By monitoring your driving habits, the system can apply brake pressure, and control engine power when it detects sudden over, or under steer.
-
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Easy-Fill Tire Alert
Forgot to check your tires before leaving for that road trip? Not to worry. Sentra’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System[*] warns you when tires aren’t properly inflated. And when you stop to fill them up, the Easy-Fill Tire Alert[*] will tell you—with a friendly beep—when they've got enough air.
-
RearView Monitor It’s our most innovative Sentra ever, and it’s equipped with a RearView Monitor.
